What are your thoughts on Star Citizen and it's recent updates?
Amazing updates, servers still suck. Hopefully 4.0 is the ‘Jesus’ patch everyone thinks it is.
Hopeful for the game. I really want to play it. I've purchased a few ships, tried FPS combat, and ship combat. I love it. But I'm not ready to step in again until they get the base-gameplay loop working. And by that I mean, the MMO aspect of it. I want to log on, play with my friends, interact with a larger community, and build towards something. Once they stop calling the game an Alpha, I'll check it out again. Until then, if it's still missing a massive fraction of its feature-set, it's not ready for me to play.
its pretty hot garbage... MM is a massive disappointment.
I am glad some people find entertainment in this game. I lost faith in these devs many years ago
I started playing Star Citizen back in like 2015 and it was no where near as good as it is now, yes there are game breaking bugs that will push a lot of people away but if you push through and play with friends the game is really a great sandbox game imo.
I used to think Escape From Tarkov was peak immersion. Then, I bought into Star Citizen and purchased a Constellation Andromeda. Then, I got some friends on the game, and we geared up and loaded the ship with supplies, ammo, and provisions. Then my buddy shot another player-controlled ship with one of my turrets, and it started this whole escapade that involved our ship vs. the other guy's ship and him wiping out on the side of a mountain. Super gamer boner occurred when we landed, picked through the crash debris, and recovered much of his cargo. Then gamer euphoria happened when that player got mad as hell at us in the chat while we were picking his carcass clean for shooting him down. All of us going to jail shortly afterward was just a bonus.
“Got erection, got berated, went to jail. 10/10”
And then you break out of jail and have another friend fly you to clear your bounty. It is just so much fun.
When it works man, its just the best game out there, it gives you experiences no other game has o ever will. Hope 4.0 fixes a lot of the bullshit.
@@NinjaFresh You can clear your own crime stat by go to the mine in depth 7, you will get a notification "Want an out?" You have to collect item from dead body along the way of climbing puzzle out of the jail. Get a land vehicle, deliver the item to the designated point. Your crime stat will be reset and there is a Cutlass black waiting for your to fly off the planet.
The problem is land vehicle sometimes doesn't spawn(At least in 3.22)
I tell my friends who are on fence they just need that one event like you had to hook them
Played about 30 hours, when SC works it is a truly a magical experience. The level of immersion is unreal. Even the mundane moving of a cargo box from one part of a space port to another. Once a few more major patches come through it will be amazing.
people have literally been saying this for 10 years
That’s the drip they’ve been feeding everyone who has dumped millions into the game.
@@VinlyScratch No, they literally haven't. There was nothing in the game to be a "magical experience" 10 years ago. They weren't saying "just a few more major patches" back then either, it was obvious it had a long way to go.
Regardless of what they were saying 10 years ago, those things are actually true now. 10-12 years spent laying the groundwork is finally starting to pay off.
@@VinlyScratch 10 years ago, all you could do was looking at your spaceship in a hangar... there was no game at all at this time.
@@VinlyScratch people have been saying its a scam for 10 years despite the fact it wasnt a game 8 years ago
Dude I saw when they first started making it and I was so stoked. It’s what made me want a pc. 10 or so years later I got one, and just as of last week my pc has been strong enough to play it. ITS EVERYTHING I HOPED FOR.
Congrats and welcome to the verse! And the best community anywhere ever!
@@StarCitizenJorunn thank you very much. Glad to be a part of it 🫡
It’s so good dude!! I’ve been playing for a few years now and have a ton of fun. Especially with friends. No other game like it.
Ya I still have the same opinion. It’s an amazing game, and you’re correct, there is no other game like it. Another thing to note is that the fine detail they have put into the graphic arts is craaaaaaaazy.
It’s very simple for me. When Star Citizen is running on all cylinders, it’s nearly the most beautiful and interesting game I’ve ever seen or played. When the servers are bogged down and the bugs are running rampant, it’s merely annoying and tedious at worse. 3.23 is without a doubt the biggest step in the right direction in the games history. It’s definitely still a long way from being totally legit, but that day is far closer than most people realize.
Star Citizen scratches an itch no other game does, it's persistence in both tech and ability to gain funding definitely shows that it's Chris Robert's Magnum Opus.
Exactly!
I had so many attempts at enjoying EVE for more than just a week or 2 over the years, but the lack of piloting and space legs combined with too much emphasis on politics, social drama and dispensable ships just doesn't end up working for me.
ED drew my attention many times but apart from the ship mechanics everything else looks so arcady and outdated, a little bit like NMS which is too cartoony for me.
It also splits the community between online and offline, game versions, platforms, addons, etc etc.... which I really hate.
Space Engineers is something I wish we had in SC, just like the exploration of ED, but I just can't get behind the LEGO aesthetic and the whole "you do whatever on your own server" concept.
X4 doesn't have multiplayer....
...
In short, SC combines way more of the different things that attract me than any of the other games.
Keep drinking that sunk cost fallacy cool aid my man.
Too bad it's a complete scam.
CI has alienated so many ppl, so many times.....it's nothing more than an abusive relationship.
Worst gaslighting in the industry. don't hyper moderate your forums unless you have something to hide. (They still don't know how to code the in game chat moderation)
Issue council rubber stamps the revolving door of "issue resolved", which looks great....till you realize that it hasn't been touched in 6 years, yet resolved a few dozen times.
Scratches an itch no other game does huh.. sounds familiar
@@andrewaponte8941 He isn’t wrong though. Name any other game that offers all of the features this game has.
There isn’t anything else.
Thank you! A star citizen critique that actually mentions CIG has to INVENT all this new tech for the game to work.
I got the game back in 2019. I've spent £400 on Star Citizen so far, and I also bought Fallout 76 when that came out in 2018. I feel far more burned by Bethesda than CIG ever could.
Tip: Buy a mining ship (MOLE or Prospecter) - it's the most complete game loop.
I was gonna say how many "finished AAA games" have we bought at a $60 or $70 price tag and just gotten burned. Your 76 is my Diablo 4.
If you're solo, I'd recommend the Prospector over the MOLE (which is actually my favorite ship) simply because you don't have the time dium of running back and forth constantly between pilot seat and mining turret. Plus, it drinks fuel like no tomorrow.
@@aesericho3651 True, I own a MOLE and regularly mine solo. The amount of times I've been astroid mining and found a big fat 150scu rock that is 65% Bexalite/Taranite/Gold and 30k+ mass, is astonishing. Can't crack those rocks solo, even with gadgets and attachments. It's very frustrating lol
Prospector for solo mining planet side - MOLE for multi-crew mining in the Arron Halo belt, I say.
I find Salvage is as good or complete, a vulture is good.
@@neth77vulture is great, salvage gameplay is definitely worthwhile
I love opinion of that guy who can aim really good.
"Community have been brainwashed, brainwashed, manipulation, what is happening, this isn't real"
He claim he undestands the game and could like it, but in the same time complains on the game state (On which he was informed at least two times before he created character, and at least once acknowledged the fact, game is in EARLY Alfa on a pop up window before game even launches) and shitting on community.
Literally he walked on a building site, sees the building still being build, sees people building it, and says
"What the fuck, why there's no roof? Why there's no furniture or even paint on the walls? Where are my carpets?"
And somehow anyone who tries to explain that "well they are not finished with fundaments and walls" is brainwashed.
Then he responds "But they are building it for 10 years!"
Like he could not understand that not all buildings are built the same way. A wooden shack that can only store a few tools that needs to be nailed down will take less time than a fucking skyscreaper.
Your comment is on point, I had the same feeling while watching the video and hearing those comments.
It feels like: Either total ignorance or just being paid to speak nasty things. Anyway SC is not only about run, jump and shoot, so I can see why that dude was complaining 😂😂😂😂
@nikoulph imho the problem is that most of the games that allow public "Early access" to their alpha/beta tests are using those terms more for marketing sense than actually testing and fixing their games. Most AAA titles allow early access in like month before game releases. Most of the times there's nothing fixed or a tiny bit without real changes so when people are faced with a game that is really in Early Alpha they complain about performance which is done at the end of production, not at the beginning or middle.
Problem starts when most of the modern games are basically a reskins of what we have today, so production time is lower than making everything from scratch, even the engine.
Combine that and you will get an angry mob that thinks they understand, but in reality they barely scratched the surface.
Views.
That's all there is to it.
People love to be outraged about something these days.
And you're missing *THE* point which is CIG has at every level promised a feature, a launch, an asset or fix and failed to deliver on time. Most of those things they've never released as of yet and the ones they have released have been weeks or months later. Imagine being a loan shark or bank, you give your money to people who promise to return the money with interest and they never do on time, all whilst promising next week, next month. You would lose faith in that person, naturally.
Its called mission creep for a *reason* and of course people feel like they're in a Ponzi scheme, promised bigger returns the longer they stay and believe. Not to mention the various legal changes CIG has done over the years such as obfuscating their money trail so people can't see what they're spending their money on after making a point they'd be transparent is in very bad faith.
In short, the game has promise and deserves immense praise for what they've achieved, but the game and company especially deserves a lot of shit for how they've went about it, what they've currently got and when if ever the game will be finally finished.
Been playing star citizen for over 3 years and the game has come soooooo far from where it was when I started.. what they are trying to achieve will be a very 1st in gaming and the only game like it.. I have bought ships that weren't out yet and I have them now so my grandkids won't see them first.... I bought ships bc I absolutely believe in what they are building and yes it's taking a while but they are delivering.. and they are by far the most open game devs ever and are very good about keeping its players informed relatively speaking
Honestly, it's ridden with bugs, the servers might crash randomly, and you're as likely to die to insane pirates as you are to crash your ship because of said bugs.
That said, it's also insanely fun to play with friends, and when it works, there's really nothing else like it on the planet.
Server crashes really don’t happen anymore
If you haven’t played in awhile, there’s been a lot of forward progress on the server crashes. Yes, they do happen still, but they recover and you pick up exactly where the crash left you off. The bugs are an ongoing battle, at the same time, I have many 3-4 hour + sessions that I experience little to no bugs, no crashes, and have a seamless experience exploring Stanton. The idea that it’s a scam simply isn’t true. It’s a real game that requires a lot more polish and refinement, but it is genuinely one of the best games I have ever played.
@@simonriley8908that’s weird because the last few days I have t been able to play due to bugs
servers are basically uncrashable now but servers not registering actions and inputs still exist.
@@mikecaissie386 bull fucking shit lmfao i love the game but i wouldnt lie like that
When the timeline is discussed its often overlooked that the starting point were just a handful of people, with no working game engine or company and wanting to develop 2 games (albeit with some shared tech/material).
Its no small feat in itself to build a company with hundreds of people across several locations in the US and Europe....
We were told by CIG a couple years ago they were going to focus on squadron 42 to get that out. Once that is out they were going to shift teams over to star Citizen. They announced 42 was feature complete and the subsequent Star citizen patch is the largest that we have had so far. We may complain about the time it is taking, but I believe CIG has stated their plan and are sticking to it. It’s easy content for UA-camrs to forget what they have been told and complain. Has we all know whiners get more clicks(not saying this video is negative but there a lot of others out there).
I think no one makes people spend thousands of dollars you can play this game for $50. I know that I have gotten way more than $50 worth of enjoyment from playing whats available now.
$40 at the moment during fleet week!
Neuron activation be what makes the spend happen2
I spent over $2k on this game and it's been a blast what a lot of people don't understand it's in a alpha with crowd funded money we the community is what makes this game happen once server meshing is in it's right place people like shroud will apologize
SC is the representation of what type of games the industry could be making versus the same watered down bs we've been getting from the old AAA devs for years. Update 3.23.1 has been running great
Short correction to your "Selling .jpg of Ships" thing: The Carrack, you shown, is flyable and ingame since Alpha 3.8.0 (so since 5 years now with Alpha 3.8.0)🖖
I think regardless of whether SC succeeds or fails. The TECH they have developed will benefit the gaming industry on a whole for future games.
I've never thought of Star Citizen as a scam because it is only $45 to get into and it doesn't take a lot of time to earn enough money to buy different ships in game. I've had the game since 2019 and still rocking the $45 starter pack.
Steamers say stuff like “I could like this game if it didn’t suck so bad”. It’s not a game yet. It’s an alpha and the alpha doesn’t suck, it’s incomplete. I’ve played and stuck around for a lot of alphas and the defining factor of each is that they are unfinished and buggy. When you join star citizen you need to understand that it’s unfinished. Those of us who love star citizen fell in love because there is more game in this alpha than most finished games.
Been playing it on and off since 2013, its been quite the ride lmfaooooooooo
my buddies begged me to buy it in 2014 and i always said it would be a waste of money. i bought it 8 years later and its still awesome as hell when it works lol
@@MrBojangles2020 truth!
When the game works. There's nothing else quite like it. Unfortunately. It's not that it's a scam... Its the child of a Poorly organized idea. Some will say "But they've raised 600 Million!" And yes. They have. "They sell stupidly expensive ships!" Yes, they do. But...
- They had to restart certain progress a few times due to original ideas either not working, Engines not supporting their ideas, or scope outgrowing.
- They've technically been developing 2 games side by side. Squadron 42, a Single Player Campaign filled with Cutscenes, Missions, unique areas etc. And Star Citizen, The Open world RPG style space.
- They've used that Money to set up several studios to better develop the game(s) And to get content out more quickly. And this has certainly helped. Especially since SQ42 is now Feature complete and many devs working on it are now focusing on SC.
- They had to build their own engine while working on the game and while we don't have everything in the live b uild that the devs have in their own closed version. What is Possible in game. And the visuals are all beautiful. No other Space sim gets quite as close.
- The Depth of what can be done is immense. How combat works, How ships already and will work soon. Mining, Salvage, Engineering, Cargo. The scope of everything is impressive.
- Each and Every ship feels different. Feels 'alive.'. And this is before total Modularity and 'Gold Standard'. Gold Standard being where ships will end up. being fully interactive, every component, attachment point, Potential for being set on fire and taken apart piece by piece. The amount of Passion they put into every single flyable/Drivable vehicle is huge.
- The game will be huge. We only have access to the Stanton System right now. Within a few months, We'll gain access to Pyro. And sometime after Squadron 42, We'll get the System that game takes place in as well. No Loading screens. No Fade to black transitions. Technically you could take off on one planet and Fly non stop to another planet and land all in one single travel. QT Drives simply shoot you forwards at blinding speeds.
Star Citizen will define itself, That's for certain. It's just taking far too long. For anyone wanting to try it, I honestly just recommend they pick up one of the cheapest packs and enjoy it in small play sessions. Wait until things smoothen out and a full release is ACTUALLY visible on the Horizon.
Star Citizen is the most amazing, soon to be real AAAAA game. I can't get enough of it (my wallet disagrees)
Don't say it, never ever say it. The more AAAAAs the worse it is, just look at how the last so called "AAAA" game went
It will be the greatest -A game
@@schlagzahne6741 Ubisoft isn't CIG bud. CIg is doing a LOT of good things. just wait.
@@schlagzahne6741 Yeah, starting to think that the "A" stands for Anaemic.
it's my least favorite game of all time.
It's buggy. super buggy. maddenly buggy. and yet I find myself walking across a bed of grass for those few glimmers of what this game could be.
And yet the core gameplay they have today is incredible and fills a part of my heart no other game does.
Game is in EARLY ALPHA, even 4.0 won't be beta so it's normal for the game to be broken sometimes. Go to any game company and try any alpha build of any games you'll see it's a buggy mess. Hell, most of them aren't even playable as compared to star citizen early alpha...
no one complains about the amount of time it took Bethesda to create a loading menu simulator and charging £60 for it, no one complains about Ninja Theory taking 5 years to create a 5 hour boring interactive film and charging £60 for it. But as soon as you say you spent £45 on Star Citizen 5 years ago, and currently have 500 hours in it, people lose their minds! "HoW CaN yOu BacK a sCaM". If you don't like the development style CIG are using you don't have to pay for it, you also don't need to play it! just let the people who are having fun, have fun!
Actually alot of people complain about those things lol
Literally Everyone. Everyone. Everyone everyone complained about those games, stop sucking the dick of the people making this game. This shit smells like a scam so goddamn hard. If it turns out to be real awesome. But after the amount of money they have swallowed up and turned out no product it's Insane.
Most other games dont charge thousands of dollar for a single item i.e scamming
You literally missed the entire point that you literally don't have to pay for anything else other than a starter pack? Every other purchase is optional, all items can be obtained ingame by playing.@@Zool6693
The conclusion “12 years of development and still shit” is a fallacy in that it ignores or misinterprets the development of highly complex server and backend technology. However, at least many of the current bugs and errors in the game can be traced back to these and are therefore not comparable to the development level of a run-of-the-mill game like Tarkov
Guys, let's be honest with ourselves.
What the CIG is doing is a phenomenon nowadays - they've been doing for 10 years what any publisher would just put their dick on.
These are the same people as Larian Studio and their Sven Vinke, only K. Roberts suffers not from DnD, but from star Wars of the 80s, i.e. both Sven Vinke and K. Roberts are enthusiasts and they love their work and are ready to spend all their income on them.
But publishing houses are run by shareholders who care about video games like a cat cares about higher mathematics..
CIG do their job and slowly because they are pioneers, i.e. no one has done this before them, which means they solve problems as they arrive. This should be treated with respect and patience.
If not, then call of duty anb battlefield are waiting for your money...
The mining loop is the best, rock and stone brothers
I want to see a bit more from it. Like using science to find underground deposit veins, or scanning rocks to crack them better with sweet spots and frequencies...
Never mind all the crafting we're gonna get.
You can kinda do that with modules but yeah the underground search could be sick, also asteroid mining is way too weak atm
If we’re talking about profits and consistency, salvaging seems to be superior. The loop is however more simplistic than mining.
Im a salvager brother, Take what you can and give nothing back!
That's how I made my start, mostly do salvaging now...
Well when I can even sell anything thanks to dupers lol
I have been playing for about 3 or 4 years now I bought the Titan starter package for $60 at the time and have had nothing but fun ever since despite the bugs. I always laugh to myself when somebody calls it a scam knowing that I had just finished playing it and enjoying it for hours that very day and have been around long enough to see the continuous updates, additions and improvements with my own eyes.
I answered the call November 07, 2013 and will hold the line ... I just pulled the trigger on the Ironclad standard ed. w/1536 SCU ... That's a lot of Furys. I had a Galaxy W/Cargo mod. CCU from my Caterpillar that was the exact amount needed. Cost $0. new cash. After putting $100. a yr 4 10 yrs was easy, but you never have to spend more than a starter pack $45. Everything else you can earn in game.
the reason why love star citizen is that this is the game I've always dreamed about a space MMO that allows u too land on different planets
Me personally, I'm hopeful. But I ain't getting burned - I won't spend any money or time on it till it's done. I wish them (the devs) the best of luck!
Till it's done :D Oh boy, this really tickled me.
Have you tried the free fly events they run? No risk to try it besides wasted time.
Not a particular great time to join, but it's sometimes not terrible. Depends on the gameplay you're looking for
I bought the game like 3 years ago and ever since I feel far less burned than with many of the soulless "AAA" games.
It's probably going to be a perpetual Beta, like Tarkov.
Depends on your rig too. If you don't have a good one you wont have a good time. But by your statement I'm guessing you don't really play PC games.
4.0 is really gonna make it or break it for the game. If they can get server meshing working somewhat stable for that patch the game is going to blow up. Finally be able to fight AI and do missions without stuff bugging the hell out.
I don't necessarily disagree with you that 4.0 is "make or break," but I would add that server meshing is the make-or-break tech that the game needs. That and a fleshed-out next-gen economy. If those make it in 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that they actually make it into the game at some point.
even if it makes it and it so-called "stable" Its not really gonna change much except it will just have more people in it. Its really what comes after server meshing if it works and if it works at scale...All the things CIG has talked about content and different systems being put in the game but said they couldn't because of the main blocker server meshing. Everyone's hyped for 4.0 I feel like im the only one thats hyped for what comes after. Quanta Sim? Long-Term progression other than just buying ships in game for example: Skills? Orgs actually in game? PvP over Territory Control? (CIG never talked about territory control but I imagine if basebuilding is a thing and if they let us build space stations it must mean we can claim different sectors in space...)
IF Server meshing Works and can be implemented without many issues. It'll also mean they can work on Server stability properly. Personally I think the reason they've NOT made Servers a ton better, is because the plan was always to replace how they work. No point in doing that 'before' and Just breaking them all over again.
Pyro will be good for adding more varied gameplay. Risky Missions. Better planning for longer trips needed. larger ships for a Crew, beds, Storage, etc.
Server Meshing. Being able to have some, 100-200 person battle around a Moon while EMT services, Repair/Refuel stations of a couple dozen are stationed On the planet a short QT Jump away. Having huge clashes that don't result in the rest of the server being totally void. This is where orgs are going to see the biggest jump in real use.
@@ratedxvn Yeah territory control is a given as they mentioned that you can place beacons anywhere in non-UEE territories to claim the land, and you can also control certain facilities once resource management is live.
4.0 and Server Meshing aren't going to be the Jesus patch. Expect there to be a period where they push the performance of the servers to find out the data they need in order to get good metrics on how much the servers can handle. An example of this already was when they did the Tech Preview of Server Meshing and had up to 800 players on a server. They quickly realized they couldn't sustain that and cut it in half. They need to keep testing how their improvements are working and that will mean that sometimes they will make things worse.
This can't be limited to PTU or Evocati because there aren't enough people to really hammer their systems with real world conditions. I'm pretty sure that the majority of people who are in PTU have better network connections and/or computers because otherwise they wouldn't stick around.
'They will happen but much slower than we want them to' - this phrase perfectly sums up Star Citizen!
Switching from the tiny team working on the PU to the massive team currently working on it. I think changes will happen much faster then we are used to.
Thats already been proven by how much has happened since the announcement of Sq42 being Feature complete. Work on Pyro accellerated. We've had huge changes to existing Systems. Master Modes, Mobiglass and Starmap 2.0. A lot more new vehicles. Engineering coming real soon.
This isn't talked about nearly enough.
its good that most dont realize
that way they have more time in the shadows and less expectations still for shorter time frames
They called their shot and failed. No. They will continue to stumble in late, half dressed, with an excuse.
@@hangglidingmontana6134 A month late is much better then pushed back a quarter. I'm more then happy with living with that. Plus they are preparing server meshing and fabrication.
One thing I don't envy CIG at all is finding the balance between progress and playability / bugs. I mean they could probably progress faster but it wouldn't be playable. Or concentrate on removing bugs that will pop up later in any case, or improve systems that will be replaced. No matter which way they are leaning, some people are really upset. And if they take the middle ground, probably everyone.
I'm amazed at the amount of tarkov players getting into SC. It's the buggiest mess but amazing. It's like dayz mod in arma 2. If you learn the bugs, there's a good game to be played
it's a shame you can't learn how to deal with 3 server fps haha
@@gr_egg change servers, dont hang around major cities and don't play during invictus week. I don't get 3fps so not sure why you are.
@@roamin9871 ah, so your solution is coping, a tried method
@@gr_egg you watch Jesse, you clearly play tarkov, anyone with a good amount of wipes under there belt will know tarkov ain't perfect with servers, desync and so on. Everyone knows it's full of bugs still, let's not start on tarkovs audio either. But I guess people who like it and play it are "coping". What a stupid way to look at it.
@roamin9871 I never said that, denying any of those facts would be coping, same way as saying that the servers aren't complete dogshit in sc (they are especially after PES) is coping
I love me some star citizen. Started just under a year ago and im having a blast. See you all playing in the verse o7.
A big reason why the game is blowing up now is that its JUST starting to get good, and its only lookin up
I play star citizen since 2017 Patch 3.0, i have around 2-3k hours of playtime, made many Machinima Videos with my friends from CAW INC/CUT AND WIN INC, had many good times and of course many bad bug related times. I invested a good amount of money in the last 7 years in that project and i love to see this project grow and grow. In my opinion it is the best Gameproject of our generation (and the most transparent one) and i am looking forward how it will develop in the next years and i hope it will develop even further over the next 5-20 years and never stops.
I was an original baker in 2012. Backed for Squadron 42 everything else is a bonus. Just hope I live to see it come out.
Star Citizen is an ambitious game. I bought the game a year ago, but didn’t start to play it until March this year. The game doesn’t feel like a scam, but I often go back and forth on whether I like this consistent alpha. When in alpha, they have a continuous what can I do attitude. But I’ve seen quality, tech, and new concepts in Star Citizen I’ve never seen anywhere else. I think I’m still of the opinion that this is a revolutionary game.
Recently it is really a game. Going back 10 years, all you could do is look at a ship in a hangar or when a few missions first came out, only do that mission over and over. Landing on a planet wasn't even a thing and when it was there weren't ground vehicles. A lot has changed in the last few years.
As someone who has spent over two thousand USD on Star Citizen I will say
When Star Citizen works it's like nothing else
But getting to those moments requires patience like nothing else
It’s not for the casual player. I played wing commander back in the day and believe in this vision. Even now it’s a game that anything can occur
I think it because games like starfield really showed how good star citizen was.
My main games are EFT and star citizen , and im happy to see my favorite tarkov creators also cover SC 🎉
Jesse out here finally dipping his toes in the SC content. You love to see it! I can't wait for what's next
People often forget that it’s not yet a game, but a testing platform. Not many games have ever done open development live for everyone to try. Not everyone can be a tester on a project like this; some don’t have the patience to deal with bugs, server crashes, etc. There are features that people will love, and then there are some that people will hate. Nothing is set in stone until the game launches. We also forgot to mention that Squadron 42 is feature complete and should be ready for launch in 2024 or 2025 (TBD). I’ve seen major improvements in Star Citizen, so if people still want to believe it’s a scam, they can go ahead. Everyone has their own opinion. You can play the game for only 45 dollars and buy the ship in-game if you desire. People who spent money did so to support the game. Ships won’t always be purchasable with real money . Ive met people say the game is shit because they dont like 1 of the feature and then ive seen other love that feature . No one is forced to play and if we get together and try to push the game farther it will be better than any game curently avalaible . Game dev nowaday kinda sucks at making game and the last massively played MMO is World of warcraft . Lets make MMO great again :P
I am in the cult. Star Citizen is one of my most played games ever. I've been on a break for several months but I still check up on updates and videos like this because I am a believer. There is nothing close to this game.
been playing since 2020, when 4.0 comes out this is going to be really amazing
No one ever seems to understand what buying this game and playing it means right now. If you are not ok with being a tester and finding/reporting bugs - DO NOT PLAY. You are not entitled to a perfect unbuggy game, but if you want to voice what you do find that is wrong, buy in and start your journey as a game tester.
Been a backer for about 3.5 years, cracked the badge of shame that is 1000$ spent last October. Only two other games have come close in having me in their grasp, Sea of Thieves and Elite Dangerous.
There just isn't any game that provides the kind of experiences SC does. Recently, one member of an Org I'm a part of was attacked by pirates who destroyed him after he took too long to respond to their demands. A few minutes later the entire place became a warzone as we engaged the pirates and their reinforcements.
Other times we had all these cool events planned, only to have to cancel them due to the amount of issues we ran into.
It's like Star Trek Enterprise. Many times you'd rather pull your teeth out than endure what's happening on your screen, but if it works, by Q does it make all the previous agony worth it.
I think a study needs to be done on how Shroud got so famous, dude has less charisma than a turnip
To say it in simple terms, when it works well, there's literally no other game out there that can compare
Im one who wishes they had a computer and internet connection so I could actually play the game. The best I can do is live vicariously by watching others play the game in UA-cam videos on my phone.
It runs on Steam Deck with a bit of tinkering.
I think many critics of star citizen do not understand two things:
a) The pure scale of this game and how much work it needs to create that. We are so overfed with "AAA-Titles" from the big publishers, which produce a new fifa every year and a new CoD every 2 or 3 years, that they expect every game to have this kind of fast development. Star Citizen is just something completely different. The kind of stuff Star Citizen creates needs years or decades, especially if one is pioneering in something.
b) We play the game in a phase where people usually don't get to play a game. They could be more efficient with holding it up until its ready for early access, but then they would need another way of funding. Like a big publisher, who then milks the team dry with needs and deadlines. This way we got to see the game in a very unfinished state. I think its fine.
And before somebody claims something like: People have to defend their investments: I havent spent 1€. Got the game gifted and payed nothing. But i'm also a developer and understand the process a bit. I think they do an extremly good job. There are mistakes happening. But thats okay. They are human and they are pioneers, one can expect that.
Oh about that 10 years of development... GTA 6 is been developed for more then that and rockstar allready had a massive team and exoerience in this kind of development. What people don't understand is how mass8ve the projet is and also that they are working on 2 games and not just one ...
Star Citizen has the potential to be the next World of Warcraft. The entire community is just praying it lives up to that potential.
Hmm, I dunno.
Yes, I hope SC will last as long as WoW does right now.
No, because Blizzard did some odd decisions that killed the game for some of its player base.
For me, I hope it's gonna be the last MMO I ever play because it will keep me invested for years to come.
When SC works, it's like nothing else. A group of friends, doing whatever, from salvaging to pvp, there's just not another game that encompasses everything that SC is. Unfortunately, those times are pretty rare.
I've watched it grow since the original kickstarter, and bought in just over 10 years ago. This is a very important year in my opinion. They made a lot of really big promises at CitizenCon this past year, and if they fail to deliver, it just doesn't bode well.
I hope it's everything they want it to be, but I just am at the "I'll believe it when it's on the launcher" stage.
So far, they've been kicking ass. I'm really proud of that team.
I'm finally playing multiple sessions in the same ship without bugging out. I took the ROC mining car inside my Cutlass Black and did a bunch of mining trips and made enough to buy a new ship. It feels more like a game than ever, and I've been logging in since 2013.
I can tell you about my experience in a few sentences. I started playing in 2016, I woke up on a space station called Port Olisar(RIP). I looked out the window and saw Crusader a gas giant, so I spawned my ship and walked out to the landing pad. Oh my gosh, it took my breath away as the sun came around the side of Crusader. I walked to my ship, opened the doors to it, sat in the pilot seat, powered it up, and took off. I headed straight for Crusader and I blew up. I then realized I could not land on planets but still had a blast. 8 years later... I can land on planets, fly into the gas giant called Crusader with volumetric clouds all around me, and land on floating sky platforms. I have to take breaks to not get angry at the Triple AAA industry when I see what CIG is doing, for I have watched this Universe evolve around me. I can imagine games I loved in the past in this engine, and they would be worlds better. SC will take some time to bake for it is the most ambitious project ever conceived and no one had the balls to do it but the man the myth Chris Roberts.
I think we're on the brink of the greatest most ambitious game ever created. Just my opinion
Great Video, I subscribed. I think the scream when you fell through the planet did it for me. 😝 Keep bringing Star Citizen content and I'll be there.
I backed it in 2012, then we thought we were getting Freelancer 2, and that it should be released around the same time as Elite dangerous. Never would had imagined it would take over 10 years.
i can say, as a long time space game and simulation fan, i have had more fun in star citizen the past few months, bugs and all, than i have in any game for a very long time. the amount of stuff you can do in an "alpha" is astonishing.
Star Citizen gave me more memorable moments of adventure and hilarious bugs in my first few months of playing than any other game ever has.
I for one, have been critical of star citizen in the past, but I'm glad that the people that dipped so much money into it are finally getting something at all.
FELLOW MINERS ASSEMBLE
Been playing SC for 2'ish years now and it's a space scifi lovers dream game. With each big update they add lots in and this year around July to September we're finally getting server meshing which will enable local player numbers in the thousands which is essentially the last thing missing component for the proper MASSIVE in massively multiplayer online.
When the game is working, it's one of the greatest experiences I've ever had.
When its not it's a frustrating mess.
as a long time player im happy the game is attracting more new players its been fun to show people around the verse
0:53 - This recap takes me back to every other Kickstarter game promising the ultimate game for $50k.
The only games I play are tarkov and SC it sucks sometimes because they are in alpha and beta but I like how in depth both games are in their own ways. Plus playing with friends on any game is decent those games just have a lot more options and realism… and bugs lol
They already tested server meshing in a live environment Jesse. It was actually surprisingly successful. Once they have server meshing in place, dynamic will be very soon after.
Great video, but "server meshing might be ready for testing at the end of this year" is wrong, it already has been tested multiple times with a large audience and was a huge succes everytime.
Even if it is scam citizen, I've still had more fun playing it than I have with other "real" games lately. When you manage to load into a healthy server, it can be so much fun. Especially with a few friends
imo you NEED people to play with, because its essentially a sandbox atm, besides sightseeing and a few missions you will find not alot of engaging solo content
It’s still a scam which has taken 3/4 billion dollars of public funds with no return on investment or equity in a private company who preys on gamers constantly for the most ridiculously priced packages I have ever seen in 35 years of gaming. Disgusting business practices.
@@strangebrew1746 they have not taken anything, that's just dishonest wording, people decided to spend money on it for whatever reason and the ridiculously priced packages are optional, you can get the full experience just with 40 bucks. get real.
@@strangebrew1746 No return on investment...other than the hundreds of hours of entertainment I've had playing the game. Which is more than I can say for 90% of AAA games that are coming out these days.
I don't see any other game coming close to what this could be. If it doesn't work out, it will be a shame, but if they succeed even partially it will be something to behold.
Some folks keep saying it's not a thing but few years ago they didn't imagine it would reach the point where it's at now
Small correction, server meshing has already started testing earlier this year. It was demonstrated as working on a closed test with some upwards of 800 concurrent players on a single mesh, albeit with a lot of bugs and performance issues. It's also been announced as included in the next major patch for the game, so we should see it going live in about 3-6 months from now. Which shows a lot of confidence in how close it is. It's always been a year away maybe, never the headlining feature of the next patch.
Which also to extrapolate more on why there's excitement for the game now, server meshing is the lynchpin feature. It's the last big piece of underlying tech that the game relies on. There's numerous features that they've held off on delivering because they need server meshing, and bugs that have plagued the game for years which they have avoided fixing because server meshing would potentially make that work redundant. Back in the last CitizenCon, where they demo'd small scale working server meshing and announced the singleplayer campaign was feature complete so focus would shift back from the singleplayer to the mmo. Server meshing has kind of represented a turning point, where development switches from building up proof of concept features to actually polishing up and finishing things.
In the time since that announcement that the singleplayer was feature complete, we've seen a significant increase in the amount of content coming in patches too. A whole bunch of features they've been talking about for years had been developed for the singleplayer side got ported over to the mmo side that's currently playable. The current patch ended up dropping it's most significant feature, which had a ton of other related features that had to be dropped alongside it, and it's still about as much stuff as we got all of the updates last year combined. The preceding patch was also pretty substantial as well, and this next patch looks to possibly be even bigger. For the first time in a long while, the progress in Star Citizen isn't just all talk.
So 4.0, the next patch, will be a huge milestone for the game. Early tests of server meshing showed a significantly better server tick rate, which like a solid half of the game's problems seem to tie back to. The braindead AI that has plagued the game actually become surprisingly competent in the rare case you get a server with decent tick rate. Issues of falling through the world, items not equipping/unequipping, grenades returning to hand and exploding when you throw them, desync issues, crashing into invisible asteroids, and a handful of other issues all seem to be at least made worse or more frequent, if not entirely caused by low server tick rate. So if server meshing allows them to run the servers at higher tick rate, that alone could potentially fix a number of issues. Even if it doesn't though, server meshing has been used as the excuse for why fixing issues isn't a priority, and development has shifted to focus on working towards a finished product over developing as many new features as possible. I kind of expect 4.0 to be a buggy mess of a patch as all the major new tech patches have been, but I expect the patches after it should only really get better afterwards. It won't be the god patch that suddenly makes the game perfect, but it's likely to be the biggest single step towards that point.
At the end, you forgot to include another option: Players who play nearly every single day, and love it, enjoy it, and don't mind the bugs that much. Original Kickstarter here...and I have over $5000 into this game over the last dozen years. Now, that $5000 wasn't all at once, mind you. Just here and there over the last decade. But, this is my "scratches all the itches" game for me.
Im playing the Game since 2017 , it changed a lot . I spent a lot of my time on every patch , but this patch is the most fun to play .
I first learned about SC many years ago when a friend told me that the guy that made the Wing Commander games which i love makes a new space game.
Star citizen although a buggy mess is in a world of its own. No game is similar and if they ever complete it, no game will compare.
I love being part of that project. We need to keep in mind that it will never be completely finished and we'll also always have some kind of issues, just no more game breaking stuff. But it's just the most impressive game out there, with amazing tech, graphics and depth. Not interested in another Assassins Creed, CoD or BF any more. Star Citizen is also pushing the industry as a whole.
I play SC since 2017, its just another level of game.. its the most immersive game i played. Some people don´t have the personality to understand it or wait for the RSI to work on it... its still an alpha game and it is already awesome
I'm fine with SC. Have about 30+ early access games, so long as they keep me upto date and keep coming out with regular content I really don't mind how long it takes so long as I can play around with it, we live in a age where there are games coming out all the time I have plenty of other games to play while I wait for the next early access game to be finished or updated.
If anything if a early access game reachs 1.0 faster than usual its probably had alot of content cut out of it, i'd rather have it take longer and have more content.
Star Citizen, just like EFT, scratch an itch that once I play, I try to look on other games, but never get to the potential of those two.
They might have bugs, we might get mad at those games, but at the end of the day, it'll be hard to find a game that matches the time that the company spent on each game, they are there for a reason and I like both of them for that
been a backer since Kickstarter & I've never regretted it.
I understand what is required to create as a programmer myself, so I have no issues with the game taking the time it needs to be "done".
Because lets be honest even when all the main features are ready for showtime, the game will never be "done" as they will continue to build upon it.
I like it because I have my very own spacecraft. I can walk around it, fly it, get on the roof whatever. I wouldn't consider it gaming tho, everything just takes too long. It's more of a simulation, where just doing stuff is the goal, not actually achieving something.
"...or, more likely, they will happen, but much slower than we want them to." Sure, I would love to be playing the game tomorrow, but more than that, I want them to reach their full potential for this game, so that when I do start playing it's something I'll enjoy for decades. It's fun to follow the development and engage with the community, and I think the next couple of years will be the funnest yet.
I said to myself back in what 2013 or so "this game looks like it'll be good, i'll prob get it when it comes out' - 12 years later, still waiting :D
Golden ticket holder and original backer, I love the game, I'm having so much fun with it.
We gotta link up and play sometime soon!
This will be the game that defines the direction of games to come. I have been enjoying myself with this game. This is not a game for loners, but for people wanting to have fun with buddies.
I bought the pre-order 10 years ago and touched the first arena beta once. Are there any codes for free credits and stuff for existing players?
Chris's vision is clear what he wants. starlancer and freelancer showed some of his dreams. i cant wait another almost 3 decades for the finale to his space trilogy. I cant wait for everything to get intertwined.. when science gets added thats all im gonna do, now we just need player guilds back :(
Star Citizen is definitely not a scam; that's not how scams work.
Definitivamente la gente que dice que es una estafa, nunca fue estafado y no saben como funciona, la gente que va a estafar no va a crear una tecnología única para después irse con el dinero 😂.

Been a backer for a decade now and was immediately one of the first concierge when it came out. That being said, I'm one of the ones not in the deluded state.
The game has been in development for what seems like forever, and proprietary tech aside, the pace is just depressingly slow and falls short constantly. Its quite literally what I've come to expect by this point. I stopped being a paid sub about 4 years ago when we were in another development black hole and have no intention of giving them another cent until this thing is finished and released.
I'm an actual trader/investor, so knowing when to stop putting money into something is kind of what I specialize in. This is one of those things that's been on a bearish trend for so many years, its actually doubtful if any announcements are real, if any promises of new tech are ever going to occur, and if the money is even being spent properly. That's the reputation CIG has built over this last over-a-decade project.
That all being said, I do not regret having put what I did into this. I do think they are slowly heading towards a finished product finally, but if this and squadron 42 aren't out and I do mean OUT and FINISHED IN OUR HANDS before 2025 is over, everyone should dump constantly on the game and its devs as the biggest scam ever so they can never escape the stigma.
Even the content creators that aren't desperate to keep their tiny corner of the internet alive so they don't have to get real jobs are saying they're on the last straw here. CIG either releases this and finishes before 2025 or we're all done and will turn on them.
Been gaming all my life and I am 36. There has never been a game that gives me a sense of fulfillment and passion like Star Citizen. The games at that level for me is Cyberpunk 2077 and Mass Effect trilogy. Either way, Star Citizen is amazing. I have countless hours probably ranging in the thousands. It's an amazing game and there is literally nothing like it.
Where does one get the white Defiance helmet seen in the video?
people that are mad about Star Citizen are braindead and don't understand what it takes to develop a game. They amount of work they put into this is staggering and what is currently available is what I would consider a full game.
