- You don’t have to look too hard to find comments about Star Citizen being incomplete, with no shortage of news covering things that aren’t yet in the game. But, many of these criticisms sidestep the fact that even in this incomplete state, as at patch 3.19, there is a LOT to do in the game already. This video includes some cinematic and gameplay footage from Star Citizen.

After 9 years myself, I can say there are things to do, up to a point. And you will be able to do them at least, ooo, say, 60% of the time without a game ending bug.
But that there is also no point in doing any of them as bugs aside any progress will all be wiped out every few months due to still being a bloody alpha. Brutal but honest.
Yeah, the wipes can be harsh. To be honest though, we haven't had a wipe in a while. Frankly, we sometimes need a wipe anyways because you collect so much junk over time that it can get frustrating.
Actual items, that stuff I really don't care if they wipe, I can always buy again. The reputation and the ships though are really brutal to lose because that is A LOT of work to get those.
@@rixxy9204yeah the inventory can become a mess really quickly. There should be some kind of home, where you can store the things that you really want to keep, like favourite armor or weapons, maybe even on a rack or on a "mannequin" (like they are displayed in the stores), but the impotat part would be to keep them separate from all the rest.
PS sorry for replying after 2 months :P
I'm really enjoying mining with the overhaul. It's been nice to use a mole with friends and get those new added benefits.
Totally!
2:21 salvaging and working with people on a big project is my favorite part of games like this
Totally!
My friends and I use SC to make machinima. We're currently working on the next episode of the Overclocked series.
Kudos, there is so much work involved in that!
To be honest, Star Citizen is exactly that - You're a citizen in the stars!
It's not like any other game which is why it's so much fun. The level of detail and overall complexity is quite high which is what I really enjoy; most games get boring very fast because you either finish the story or you've mastered all the skills so there's no point to do anything. In SC there really isn't any story and there are no official skills: the skill is exactly your own skill on how to whatever the action is.
For example, when you start the game you won't even know how to take off or land. You will hit the hangar. You will crash into the planet. You will blow yourself up when mining. You will crash into an asteroid when in combat. You will jump into space without a helmet 😂
But as you play, you'll find a sense of achievement unlike any other game, and there's always some other thing that you haven't touched, ship you haven't seen, place that you haven't really been to, or players you haven't met.
My only argument is that it does not have (at this time) is crafting, which is not a huge issue but would be something nice to do. I think that crafting tools, guns and armor would be very cool.
Anyways, welcome to Star Citizen!!
Man I bought this game like 2 weeks ago.. your ship review is become my guide to choose which ship I get for my pledge.. now I've been doing some cargo hauling, mining, salvaging.. this is the best RPG I've played so far..
Long time player here and Farrister is one of the few UA-camr's who I consistently watch for things like ship reviews. Welcome to the 'verse.
bro this game is not RPG game. it'is Space Sim game
@@emrebayram1778 If you're using "RPG" like most computer games do (which is with numbers that increase with level to represent your character's skill) then no it is not, I agree. However, if you use "RPG" literally (Role-Playing Game) then yes it most assuredly is. If your objective as a player is to give yourself a slight case of DID and do things /as someone else/, then you can do that just fine without any character progression at all.
As far as 'space sim' goes.... Yeah. But a heavily gameified one. CiG has made some effort to make things close to reality, but they freely admit that if something comes down to realistic or cool/fun, then cool/fun wins.
@@CyberiusT where are RPG materials? This game even doesn't have storyline or living environment or main story . You can't even interact the NPC's. You can't choose your dialogues, you can't choose your gameplay mechanics (stealth, tank, ranger, etc) . It's just space -sim.
@@emrebayram1778 Never played a pen&paper RPG have you? You don't need dialogue choices written out for you - you can write/say your own in SC. You don't need artificial mechanics when there's a physics engine. Defined roles (tank etc) are actually antithetical to role-playing, which is why people end up doing wierd multiclass things like bard/druid/monk and then have to play three times as long to get anywhere.
And a predetermined story, whilst useful, is pretty much in the same camp. If you have a decent adventuring group (or SC group), you use the setting to make your own adventures.
Started with mining over a year ago.. tried salvage after that, now i got myself a redeemer and beginning to like the combat side of the game, aswell as the fps combat
Covering all bases :)
Remember, you can only do these things after about 40 mins of preparation and getting to your ship, waiting for elevators, waiting for trains and hoping that ATC lets you out the hangar, oh also don't forget in order to spawn your fancy new space tank, you have to spend an extra 30 minutes going to a place where you can easily spawn your tank and load it onto your ship. By the time you do all these tasks you forget what you were playing the game for.
If you set your home base to a station you can be on your way in 5 minutes or less everytime.
In a station you need to ride 1 elevator and then walk to an asop that is less than a minute away and call your ship.
Avoid the cities and your experience will be a lot better bc stations don’t have trains and you ride 1 elevator after spawning.
For ground vehicles I keep my favorite ground vehicle stored in my ship capable of transporting it, as long as I don’t lose that ship, any ground vehicle inside is still there even after storing the ship at a station so its still only 5 mins or less after login to play time.
The only delay is putting armor and weapons on if you died, set your respawn to a station and your experience will greatly increase.
Avoid the planets unless you are buying a new ship, planets have more bugs and delays than stations.
I agree, there is way too much elevator to tram to elevator to elevator again, but ATC has been super snappy in 3.19 for me and all moons have at least one place you can pull vehicles from. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to go from hab to ship to moon since you can QT directly to those locations
@@arenomusicATC, but also elevators have never really been an issue to me in terms of deadliness
and what can you do in your space tank, big bunch of fuk all lol
@@arenomusic Yes it will take more than 10 mins, can't forget about ship claim time and waiting for that too... theres simply no gameplay
Honestly there's enough gameplay for a shippable game already. What it needs now more than anything is more places to do those things, IE, a few more star systems, and of course a whole lot of polish. Supposedly we should see the second star system some time early next year perhaps? Hopefully after that a few more might arrive sooner rather than later. What I'm most eager for is a second developed commerce system to provide market variety and more places to haul to :-)
for a shippable game yes. for a good game. debateable. its kinda like old sea of thieves. sandbox, make your own fun.... we need game loops and proper mechanics and economy.
@@CosmologicalBG you can't fly ships or EVA in Fallout
Yes and no.
The amount of possible gameplay loops would be enough for a shipable game, however except for miming all those loops arent yet in a state that could be considered finished.
Salvage is half way there as it only needs munching and more gold standart ships. The rest is good enough for testing purposes, but not yet for a full game.
I'm not concerned so much with star systems but rather things to do on the planets. They need planet tech spawn points (something River Guy was working on), as that would enable actual exploration style gameplay and resource gathering. That would create a ton of new loops and emergent possibilities for gatherers/traders.
Agreed, although lots of people are still waiting for gameplay to be added to their ships, or for their ships to be added too.
To lift this game to the next *stage*
1. Server meshing, the bigger 1000 ppls servers. 100 is way to small, even with only 1 system.
2. Add dynamic economy. Player driven.
3. Add the missing game mechanics of so many ships - more resque, data running, bounti and criminal delivery, exploration etc.
4. Add pyro + more
Agreed on all fronts, although game needs to be stable first and foremost! No sense in having 1000 player servers until the game can handle them
I am kind of enjoying mining again and if you get it refined it pays pretty good. Thanks for vid Farrister have a great weekend. o7 😎👍
o7 me too!
New Farrister video!...Swan dives over couch...shoves granny out of the way...triumphantly hits play...
haha
Man I enjoy your content. One of the main reasons I'm sticking around in Star Citizen.
Ah thank you :)
being a friendly merc/weapons dealer and taking down unlawful players helping those in need is what i love to do. must obey the law of the UEE :D
:D
Great video Farrister. I enjoyed it a lot. Keep up the great work. Take care my friend, fly safe, and I'll see you in the verse.
o7
Thanks for the overview of some of the major gameplay in Star Citizen. One element that you didn't emphasize much, perhaps intentionally, is the group play aspect which somewhat merges with the extremely active global social network of players. Truthfully, there is more to do in the game, and of such complex detail, that one person is unlikely to master all of it, and likely will find some favorite activities and just dabble in others. With the open development cycle being used by Cloud Imperium Games, the activities in game are constantly evolving. One of the best examples of this is the ship and ground vehicle racing gameplay, which has been a grass roots player created and organized hotbed of activity for several years. Recently, the developers, um, "adopted" all that work and made it an integral part of the game. One doesn't see that sort of thing in most, or any, other games.
There is such tremendous variety in what people enjoy, it's difficult to say one thing without slighting another. Of course, FPS gameplay is hugely popular, and there's a massive amount of content in the game specifically focused on that. Likewise, for the pilots and adventurers, the structure of a three dimensional space simulation, which is what the game creates, is immensely immersive for everything from ship combat to mining, to cargo, or salvage, or medical rescue, or indeed, piracy.
There are players who've been with Star Citizen 11 years, since the beginning. I'm not one of those. I was a skeptic six months ago. I'm not a skeptic any longer. It's not the only game I play, but it's by far the one I admire the most, and have the greatest respect for. Star Citizen is a highly technical game; it's not an arcade game, and you don't use a game controller to play it. You need a rather high end computer to run the game properly, excellent internet connectivity, and a willingness to spend a lot of time learning the details of how things work. I think that a lot of the critics are simply people who misunderstood what the game is, and weren't looking for something so technical and requiring such a high skill level.
Someone said, regarding what to do in Star Citizen, very simply, "join an org, and make friends". The making friends part is pretty obvious, and truly it has become a MMO. It's only a single player game if you want it to be that. Regarding orgs, they play a major role, but should be approached cautiously. Some are guilty of deceptive advertising and are not at all what they claim to be. Some seem nice at first, but over time the toxic environment in the org becomes more clear. So, just to add to your excellent video, I would say that there are millions of players out there, but only a fraction are people you want to have any association with. Take care, regarding that aspect of the game. And as always, thank you for your excellent work, Farrister!
Thanks, although I think more is needed on the group play front. Probably because that's the single thing that excites me most about Star Citizen, but there isn't a huge amount of multi-crew options at the moment. Once I see more multi-crew gameplay, it's probably all I'll ever play xD
@@Farrister Sure, certainly, I agree that true multiplayer activities that the game actually supports with functional technology, will be fantastic for some players. As a newer player, I was adding the warning to not assume every random player you meet, or random groups of players you meet, is suitable to play with. Some are, and some aren't.
Us would be medics need the support of big names such as yourself. Many people believe beacons are only traps and choose to never use them. A significant number of players don't even know how to use them.
Another great video, though. 👍
I'm not sure I'm a "big name" but thanks lol. I think medical gameplay will be helped majorly by: 1) death of a spaceman (life is more valuable), and; 2) a meaningful reputation system (help people decipher if the beacon is a trap or not)
i honestly enjoy almost everything in here, but i think Mining, Salvaging, and Exploring are my top ones
The non-combat stuff can be very satisfying
Explore what? The same derelicts time and time again? That's not exploring, exploration gameplay doesn't even exist yet...
@@MrMiro2300 just casually driving/flying on over the planet surfaces… it’s a lot of ground to cover and I don’t know even where derelicts are so if I find one it’s accident and that’s cool… but exploring to me is just flying in a general direction for awhile see what I find… usually in a prospector or 315p and I’ll pick up a mining rock to punctuate the end of session… i play this game to relax and put up so lofi just fly mine salvage etc… I just enjoy the little things in life…
@@TheGlassSword Fair response, what's important is that you're having fun
@@TheGlassSwordits actually what I do 90% whenever I hop in SC. I combine it with delivery missions to get $$. Everything else is just too bugged to even attempt at the moment.
The profit is not always BIG, but profit IS profit!!
Profit?
@@Farrister Whatever ship I use, once I have done a few box missions, an investigation mission, a recovery mission I end my session with a trade run, buy at one place-sell in another. The profit is never huge, but it IS profit, and my aUEC total gets that much bigger.
Though I guess the real progression (where there is actually any) is probably in reputation
For the last year+ piracy has been the most challenging and fun loop for me.
Damned pirates :D
all the stones are in place for a great game. We just need in depth economies and politics and individual careers. Wars, factions, territory, agriculture, commodities, trade lanes, Water tankers, civilians, Famine, cures, disaster relief, I can go on.
Some of those are kinda dark lol
Lets not forget "Trash Man". Someone need to go around picking up the trash people leave behind. Placing bottles and cans into the trash bin and picking up/selling the medical gowns.
Not the first person to say this to me today!
the timing of the vid i just got back into SC since its been 2 years
Serendipitous!
Star Citizen offers more gameplay loops than GTA V Online or Elite but pepole still complain about a lack of content, i think the amount of planned features just let the current features seem lacking in depth and quantity
This. Plus, 100% of the people who complain about "lack of content" either don't play the game, or only play the exact same missions over and over.
The Retrieval Op missions are perfect for those who want exploration style gameplay. They take you to some really cool locations, especially scattered across Microtech and Hurston. They're fantastic, cinematic looking locales, too, but sadly they don't get featured much in UA-camr content.
you guys are so delusional. you people so deserved this CIG money milker politics.
I think it's easy to look past what there is and focus on what there isn't, that's why I wanted to share my thoughts for this video
Sometimes I put on incredible armour and half stand on a seat at Area 18 like an NPC and wait for people to try and steal it. Other times I dance in the elevators and wait for someone to enter. I have also tried running from my ship to a housing module at an off-world mining station in nothing but by underwear. You can’t put a price tag on this kind of stupidity 😎🛸
lol
i love this video Farrister. The potential of the the Polaris is fantastic. I can see so many uses for it. I even like it's looks. The price tag is out of my range, but I would be more than willing to crew one. Tnanks tor the video, keep bringing out gems like this one. Take care my friend. Fly safe, and I'll see you in the verse.
Thanks Koron, as always :) o7
I think bottom line it needs to be said that SC isnt for everyone, its a very niche game, but its a niche that hasnt been truly covered by any other game. Patience is a must and I really dont expect anyone to like it. It gets a bad rep and thats fine, its own community has a hate/love relationship with it and for good reason. We arent blind to its flaws. But like I said, theres just nothing else quite like it. So hate it or love it, play it or dont, its all good.
I don't think I've been playing the same game as you. Most of this is broken when I try to play.
That wasn't what this video was about
If you mentioned this in the video I must've missed it my apologies. But what would you say to a new player, who is a solo player and is worried about griefers? and also does everything cost real money or just the ships?
Worth checking out my full new player guide which helps with the costs piece :) Personally, I don't think the griefing is too bad, and you can relatively quickly learn to avoid other players if you so choose. But as with most games there are certainly players who make it their mission to ruin the fun for others, I just think they're few and far between
@@Farrister ok i'll check it out thanks ❤
I’d also say the griefers are few and far. I haven’t had anyone recently deliberately coming at me and harassing me. Most players are very helpful and when you do eventually run into another player, part of the fun is not knowing whether they are friend or foe. Makes your heart pound and keeps you on your toes in this gritty space
ship combat: ✅
works well enough pvp and pve with varying diffculty.
fps combat: ❌
teleporting players, invisible players, braindead NPCs or shooting through solid cover broken NPCs.
medical: ❌
laser go bzzzz... yeah, no. that's not medical. that's magical, but not even in a good way. yawn.
salvage: ✅
works well enough for how new it is but it's rather limited (cargo transfer, forced combat, limited to ship ownership as handtool isn't viable whatsoever).
mining: ✅
aside from the usual bugs it's a playable, viable gameloop that works even on low budget for newer players.
cargo/delivery: ❌❌
unprofitable for anyone but large ship owners, deliveries are sending you into ship AND fps combat on derelict sites for ridiculously low payout where pickup and dropoff aren't even marked. you didn't mention "maintenance" or this stupid mission where you drop off a little handheld satellite either, and it's in the same vein, just about as worthless and negligable.
if you had limited it to "you can fly boxes around", fine, but as described it's not how this works in practice.
piracy: ✅
for the pirates it works a treat. for anyone else it just doesn't. one pirate mental child uploaded a video suggesting players how to deal with pirates: "just go hide inside the armistice zone".
even pirates know how full of shit they are, they just want to pretend not to see it.i refuse to believe anyone is genuinely that dumb. disingenuous and willing to lie to get their way: absolutely.
prison: ❌
how is tis something "you can do", or a seperate thing?
it's mining, pvp and at best a jumping puzzle.
again, you could have pointed at kareah or the mission inside there... but is that really anything but just what boils down to pve/pvp more badly working pew pew? it's just that, so a repeated, void point.
racing: ✅
in ships it works about just fine and the mustang is cheaply available to get started and does well enough.
refueling/transporting: ❌✅
nobody needs refueling other than on station. that's just not a thing that happens. transporting can happen, but usually it's because someone got kicked out their ship in quantum or the consoles don't work. is that really what enriches gameplay then if it's depends largely on the game failing for someone else? green tick, but more out of pity and because it does at least work and has a reason. a crappy one, but whatever.
exploration: ✅
there's cheaper large maps in other games with far more detail, but it can be pretty here and there.
Just quickly on the FPS PvE... It's not so much 'working badly' /code/, as massively underpowered hardware. If you get on a fresh uninhabited server (a rare event), the AI will hand you your butt. As server load and time increase, though, things bog down really badly. (Yes, time counts too. It's like a memory leak or something.)
@@CyberiusT true, i wrote so much i didn't want to go into detail, it's just still a huge problem for me, makes me not want to do those missions and i end up sticking to BH as well as i can
It's like a full review in the comments!
real
Realsies
Yah there’s some things to do. Imagine if they didn’t put PU funds into Squadron and how much we would’ve had by now…
I'm still hopeful that Squadron 42 could be fantastic...
I like to solo group ERTS from Northrock, and hunt for rare loot at Derlict Ship locations, then trade the found loot for aUEC. Additionally I like to pick up trash and junt along the way then server hop to the EU servers, type in chat "Never forget 1776!" and litter in front of a crowd :)
What do you use for your ERTs? and what happened in 1776? :D
A great summary Farrister!! Keep them coming !!
Thanks :)
well you cant do box mission has theyre bugged. so i stick to bounty mission
Different things seem to be bugged at different times
it always narks me when I hear people say there is nothing to do in SC and there's no missions to do, especially since within literally 30 minutes of gaming i had so many options of what to do, and many different ways to enjoy the game...
whether that is any number of missions of the varying types to just straight up exploring the planets and/or driving around with friends or alone....
and there are plenty of points of interest that you can find while on your journey's too...
the dynamic and natural way events can happen is imo what makes SC stand out above so many other games...
and due to SC's variety of what to do... it has literally replaced the options on my steam library.... only exceptions so far being base building and RTS games.... but i usually find the ones who claim nothing to do are the ones who either loaded in once or twice, or they haven't bothered playing since the early versions
and understandably the AI has had a reputation for being more asleep than a zoned out buffoon in serious need of munchies... when the server is running great, there is a certainty that you wont make it out the bunker or wreck in one piece...
but that being said.... there's so much to do, it just boils down to what YOU the player would be interested in doing!
Yup, exactly my rationale for making this video. Yes, there's a lot of promised functionality that still is missing, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to do...
@@Farrister and honestly, Farrister... i could not have done it in a more factual and interesting way than what you did... it truly rams home the scope of what SC is, and shows not just the current form of the game, but the potential of it becoming far more too...
i mean the old argument of "it's an alpha" still applies and will do until it moves into Beta, and by then that reasoning will be replaced by "it's a Beta", but either way... for them to develop it people need to realise that they need to build it up....
I will say though SC is by far the best looking game ever created, even if it's not finished yet... i have to admit, i've had far more fun on it... that i have had on any fully released AAA title in the last 20-30 years, cos even when you cant decide what to do in game... you always have that easter egg hunt for poi's and find those unique places that we hear people have found but are so elusive... and discover new things even on the planets and moons we have been accustomed to for a while now
thanks for taking the time and making this video and sharing it too... hopefully it will open people's eyes or at least make people think and try out the other missions or attempt to make their own fun too
I'll be honest, yes there are things to do, but having my progress wiped every month or so just doesn't make it worth my time yet.
Every month? It's far less common than that! At the moment it feels closer to every 1-2 years
Are you a sales rep for CIG you forgot to mention all the bugs in the game that almost everything struggles to work correctly
That wasn't the point of this video, it was more for info. I think there's surprisingly a lot of mechanics in game already (and yes, a lot missing and a lot bugged)
There's a ton of neat stuff to do in the game, it's main issue is that the game itself refuses to run properly. I gave hull scraping a try over a period of three days and had some fun but out of those three days i only managed a single salvage loop without some weird bug or crash taking away all my progress.
If CIG ever gets the game to actually work i'd gladly put some real money on the table to play it again but as long as they prioritize adding half finished features over stability i'm not touching that game again.
That's fair enough too - hopefully when the game is finally 'finished' it's something you might enjoy :)
I love watching the sand worm racing.
Not a compelling race, it's very slow..........
Until the server inevitably crashes and you can do it all again.
Sometimes, yes...
I would have tons of fun being a refuel ship but who really needs fuel. Ya'know?
Yeah many think that that would become more of a thing when Pyro comes. But not even God knows when that might be
Yeah, I think it's a shame for the Starfarer, it has great promise but not really used
Only way to enjoy this game is with a careless mind, willing to be ok with losing any active progress in the name of the fun you had while doing something in that moment.
And that's my biggest issue, I don't like the idea of spending time and effort working towards a goal just to, by some random external factor outside of my control, let it all go and start over, and pretend I'm happy with just flying a ship from point A to point B, and only those things I bought with real life money remain.
It is a big contradiction between what the game wants you to bilieve you can do long term, and the mentality required to do those things, versus you accepting that those selling points don't match the reality of a developer's mandatory wipe, and move on. It's just weird...
1:40 that tank is like 140$ lmao
😭
They just need animals to hunt/fish so I can survive off-grid
Would be cool!
To be fair, you do the majority of these activities only if you enjoy the process itself. With credits and loot wipes almost monthly now (sometimes weekly), there is not much point doing bunkers, or salvage, or mining.
And regarding exploration - your videos about places of interest are actually much more interesting than places of interest themselves. Yes, there is a hidden cave under New Babbage, yes, there is a Javelin on Daymar. So what? You flew there, you saw them, what do you do next? Exploration could be a major part of the gameplay, but it just doesn't exist yet, after 11 years of development.
I see what you mean there :( but maybe time will help with that
Amazing how even with nothing to do….I still do something.
haha
There is commuting, waiting, and permanently losing stuff, and starting all this over and over.
That's why they've resurrected AC
Haha there's a lot of that too, yes
basically typical survival game things to do. repetetive things with lot of time consuming and if you want action, it may be hard at some point to find one
Plenty to do in game. I love the variety of gameplay. I know CIG will only continue to expand it.Thanks for the video, Farrister!
o7
You can work towards money that doesnt matter cause there is no economy.....
Can still play for fun though
What you spoke of are only functions and mechanics. There is not much content really and the NPCs are lifeless robots. Missions available are simply repetitive tasks for grinding money which gets wiped anyway time to time, there is simply nothing to add value or depth to the gameplay like story based missions do in other games. Thus Star Citizen is more and more becoming grinding mobile games like Ebony than a good old PC game.
I dunno, there's always been a lot of grind to MMOs, I think. It depends if you enjoy the game loop or not.
@@Farrister ESO, Elden ring, Star wars: the old republic, eve online. These games have story driven deeper content and not monotonous. And it's nothing that can't be done. Just adding missions and extra dialogues to most NPCs already present ingame can solve it all.
Star Citizen's graphics LITTERALLY look like Starfield 2
In some cases, not so much in others.
Have watched 20 seconds, but I have to say that if you can fit all there is to do in a five and a half minute video then that in itself says there can't be much.
Considering I could fit all you can do in Call of Duty into roughly 1 minute (if not 5 seconds with "you run around shooting people") I'd say you are wronf my dude.
@@EdwardDragon96 Given the disparity in size and scope of the games, I would argue that that isn't a strong counter point. This is supposed to be a universe simulator, not an arena shooter and we have had a decade + of development. So far, realistically, we have: Shoot things in ships, shoot things on foot, point a beam at something to ''harvest'' from it (mining/salvage) and a few mission givers that give variations of the aforementioned archetypes. None of those are very refined and all of them are buggy as hell and barely enjoyable most of the time. At this stage, given the scope of what we were promised in 2014 (when I backed) it is increasingly difficult to put up with people that won't accept the perfectly deserved criticism that is being levelled at CIG and the glacial pace of their development.

Given that the game is nowhere near finished, I'd say that my counterpoint is about equal to the point you were making. You tryed to hold it to the standart of a finished game (wich it isnt yet) and I compared it to a finished game about shooting people.
There is a lot of valid critizism in regards to CIG, most recently their lack of communication, especially regarding the priceincrease of the Titan, Harbinger and Cutty Black or the for lack of better word "boneheadedness" regarding the decisions made with Seraphim Station (aka. players like PO because its easy to get in and out so lets do away with that completly).
However critic because someone is able to summarize what you can do in the alpha of a game in roughly 5 minutes is, no offense, just plain silly.
I dunno, I felt like I spoke quickly for this one :D
sure is a great game but with pvp active all time theres no way to enjoy the good graphics or just enter in the game for a casual play
Yeah there really is, it's not too hard to avoid PvP if you're not into it
thats a plus for me . I can just see me and by buddy going bounty hunting and jumping fools out in the boonies while they least expect it
not trying to spend 300$ to mine
300?
You dont need to spend real money on the ships, thats a common misconception i keep seeing, you can pledge and spend money for different starting ships, you can also reinvest that pledge into different ships without spending any extra money. But all of that is accessible through the in game economy as well.
All those buildings in the cities… are they all explorable? Are there npc cities…? That looks TOOO MUCH content to have any meaningful design/depth to it
You're completely missing the main complaints that a lot of people have.
1. The flight model is so bad that it is completely unplayable
2. 30k errors after spending an hour getting your kit ready, launching your ship and travelling to the destination that you want to do something at.
3. Losing items because of 1 and 2.
These 3 issues make your claims in this video misleading.
1. It's not unplayable. You might want to see improvements, but it's very playable.
2. They happen, but aren't really the topic for this video.
3. Likewise
The point of this one wasn't to give a view on the stability of Star Citizen, it was to show just how much can be done in the game, as of right now.
@@Farrister 1. You are incorrect. I tried playing Srar Citizen again a couple of weeks ago and even following the tutorial, it was still unplayable. The flight model is full of bugs and unplayable.
2. Most people don't have hours to play so this is a huge issue with playability. Especially with losing items as a result.
The fact that the game isn't playable makes the things that you are claiming can be done in the game misleading.
Without NPCs you can meaningful interact with the game feels extremly empty and ... meaningless
:(
You left out that there is one FPS map.
Most of the Stanton system is available for FPS?
dunno if you can even call that jank combat
RIP
30k errors never get mentioned while you are trying to playtest the "game"😂
I mention them quite a lot! A few of my gameplay videos include the 30ks
not a single Citizen in the 'Verse has to explain WHY they play or what they want to do in the 'Verse... if you don't like it, don't play it.
Fair enough!
@@Farrister Sorry, I haven't been involved long, but have been watching SC development for a LONG time (10 years). Decided to take the plunge last year and haven't regretted a second of it.. your content is awesome, sometimes it's very difficult to pull apart the ships/mfgs/lore, etc. for SC and these videos help tremendously. Almost every ship or subject you cover is something I have been really wondering about, but unsure how to dig up more info about, or organize what I learned if I did. ALL your vids really help.
Back to what I posted, everyone has a story about how they got here.. how does someone have one about how they didn't? Maybe they have been hurt in some way. So far this game has been the most exciting mmo i've seen in a very long time.
Keep up the GREAT work, Sir..!
90% of this stuff is broken, incomplete, or extremely boring and time wasting. Exploration isn't even a gameplay loop.
Ok Princess
No one's forcing you to play 😂
If you do retrieval missions, it is. But only people who play the game would know this.
:(
The very fact that videos like this exist... tells the whole story for most backers.
Im SO BORED of this game tbh
Nobody's forcing you to play, man. Go do something else for a while. Or a While. Or forever.
@@CyberiusT I know what I can do. God, the little cry baby cult btches that get their panties in wad if someone says something negative about this game is annoying and lame
Sometimes it's OK to take a break!
Left 4 dead more fun than this
Boring
lol
lol?
@@Farrister omg I said lol because I just dupe nothing else really works for me.
A nice referal farm video.
I'm not sure I really need them anymore! It was more for info, I think there's surprisingly a lot of mechanics in game already (and yes, a lot missing and a lot bugged)
game to play if you literally don't have life
Or troll....
No shame in being a gamer, it's 2023!
