Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

Or they can use the old “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!” trick. Which might be the best option, since they’re already so good at adding features to the project scope. ;)

Not when you have 3000+ bugs, some of which have been there for over two years straight. Then again.

That’s what they’ve been doing for the most part. But I don’t think it will work with the much touted 3.0 release which many believe to be the MVP build that’s going to signal the beginning of the end.

As a guy who never backed this project (but rather Elite Dangerous out of nostalgia for my ZX spectrum days) I have to say the whole thing stinks to high heaven. I can’t see this turning out well. I hope I’m wrong. But too many things just don’t add up. They are brilliant propagandists though - I will give them that…

I hope I’m wrong.

That just means you’ve met at least the 80 percent stupidity threshold

Please do elaborate. Not quite certain how to interpret that remark.

Do as you will no worries.

I’m curious to understand why my opinion seems to have provoked this response. I am also open to hearing your opinion - which may be different - but isn’t that what forums are for?

don’t get emotional it’s not you it’s the topic

I’m not emotional - pretty measured in my replies I think. Just trying to understand the subtext.

What’s that even supposed to mean? I share MM’s confusion.

No takebacks! :)

He’s an Arsenal supporter. That doesn’t make sense either. :)

Ha! Touché.

Then again, so am I, as it happens. :)

So now that SC has been in more than critical analysis phase for the last 2 months. What big things are due within next 3 months? Any really big milestones? I think if they miss anything big planned, the ship’s hull will finally have too many flooded chambers to stay afloat.

I want this to succeed. I have the super cheap backer thing from the first kickstarter and can’t afford stuff for the game, but I love what they have planned.

3.0 still needs to come out.

And at this point, nobody really knows when that will happen, alas.

December 2016, duh.

Well, they are at GamesCom this week. So.

Word is that the invited streamers are going to be playing the current 2.6.3 build. No word yet on whether or not 3.0 will actually be played live. I remember when, mere months ago, the German shills over at GameStar.de as well as PC Gamer, claimed to have “played” a 3.0 build; then subsequently wrote major puff pieces.

But no fear! They have a new ship sale. $400! <---- that was NOT a typo.

Yes - the whole thing is so hilarious now, that it beggars belief.

Are their forums going nutso yet?
