That’s true of almost everything about Star Citizen marketing. “Never done before!”, even when it has in fact been done before.

Yesterday’s ATV “burndown” was a hoot-ridden catastrophe
Those stats are from yesterday’s “burndown” broadcast. It’s as bad as it looks. It’s hilarious that this was a build that Chris said was due out in Dec 2016. If this comes out before CitizenCon (Oct) it will be a miracle. Especially since sources from 2 studios tell me that it’s virtually UNPLAYABLE right now due to SERIOUS blockers & major performance issues.
As someone pointed out (though not quite accurate, since some bugs will take more/less time to fix than others)

Well, not all bugs are created equal, obviously. That being said, it’s usually towards the end when things slow down as the last few complex our difficult to track down bugs are all that’s left.

Yup. Which is why they’re between a rock and a hard place when it comes to this build because they’ve hyped it beyond proportions. Anything short of near perfection, is going to be a major blunder.

I’m sure all will be forgiven or forgotten once the next jpeg comes out!

I dunno man, the natives have been very restless these past weeks, and the consistent 3.0 delays, coupled with the removal of the dates in the schedule, haven’t helped at all. Gamescom is next week (22-26), so we’ll see. But one thing is certain, there will be a ship sale. :D
They can always reclassify bugs from Must Have to Meh. That’ll bring down the time pretty quickly :P
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.
