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

[Profanicus]

Lol yeah, and they’re not even really selling any land… it’s a device that will allow players to claim land once the game/feature launches! :P

[triggercut]

Holy shit. Can I buy some land and put a monorail on it?

[scharmers]

I’m glad I held off on the DERPSPACE early access… Star Citizen is so superior

[Steve_G]

I called it. They have started selling land. Yes, I’m serious.

Oh Lord. The dude in the video with the beard and the baseball hat at 30:25 is really annoying.

Buying land might seem kind of amazing if you couldn’t already do this in Ascent: The Space Game.

Oh, and IIRC, you can build planetary bases in Evochron…so…yeah…

You can purchase a picture of a construction spaceship which comes with a bullet point that it will include a land based fabrication vehicle which comes with a throw away line from a developer in a video that they plan on supporting all kinds of planetary travel which comes with a reddit post about how it would be awesome if there were hyperloop style tubes in the universe which comes with an upvoted comment from someone with questionable spelling ability who says that their Org is going to focus on monorail construction.

I don’t think so… that’s more of a Shelbyville idea.

Wait, Mr. Lanley! I’ll pay!

$50 for 16 square kilometers of virtual real estate. So that 500km diameter moon can be all yours for the low, low price of 2.5 million USD.

[RichVR]

Speaking of which, can I plant a lemon tree?

[Gordon_Cameron]

No, but you can enjoy all the Country Time ™ you want!

Except the moon isn’t that big. At all.

CAN I START A PEPPERIDGE FARM?!?! Pleeeaasseeee? I’ve always wanted to farm pepperidges.

[Gordon_Cameron]

Somewhere, the Pepperidge Farms guys, the Bartles & James guys, and Orville Reddenbacher are all sitting on a big porch having a grand old time.

Who the hell has the money for this, assuming good intentions? I know Americans have much higher wages than this lovely little country by the sea, but isn’t your rent super expensive too? How does this sound like a sound investment** when it would involve a constant stream of money? I know that people don’t add up micro-transactions, because humans are dumb with numbers, but this… I don’t get it.

** SC is not a real financial investment, the usage is figurative

Roberts keeps throwing out ‘Crysis’-level graphics fidelity. I’m thinking he either bought that line hook and sinker from Crytek when they were pitching the engine or he doesn’t realize that Crysis is now a whopping 10 years old.

[Gordon_Cameron]

Still looks pretty dang good, though.
