Nah I’m good. I’ll wait for someone else to mash X4 and No Mans Sky together into 1 game instead. While that’s what all I expect Star Citizen to be, we all know it’s probably a lot less than that.

I’ll settle for Freelancer

Last time I tried to play this game I had to use a 7+ year old fix on their forums for memory management and change the page file to a stupidly massive size to keep it from crashing. Of course the neckbeard star citizen fanboys in game told me to “just buy more ram”. Bitch, I already have 16GB of fucking fast ram I’m not trying to build a quantum computer for my star citizen fix!

I still can’t even get into the elevator from my ‘room’ without the game crashing. This is on 2 unique PC builds and over like 4+ years trying every now and then to play the game.

It also runs like crap, even on a 4070 super and 3700x the FPS in the city is barely 20-25 most of the time.

I’ve seen this issue on my friends PC where he was using a hdd and had 16gb of ram but have never experienced it myself.

For comparison I ran the game fine for years on an 8700k 32gb ram with a 1080ti and an ssd.

Im surprised by some of the negativity here too… I have genuinely played hundreds of hours and yes, experienced bugs, but also had some extremely memorable experiences and lots of fun.

Yeah I’ll have to try again soon, I have quite a big group on a discord that plays it regularly and it does look fun.

Nah, I’m good.

Meh. Wake me up when Squadron 42 is released… And actually reviews well.

Sabata11792 ,

I’m not going to play a game that wants me to pay more for a ship than my actual house.

I gave up on that LONG ago.

Fuck , off , scam

Artyom ,

Around when I first heard of Star Citizen, I remember writing a paper on the Mt. Gox data breach and the bitcoin crash. A bitcoin was around $250.

Explain to me the difference between Star Citizen and a scam at this point.

SkyezOpen ,

They have a very impressive tech demo. Sadly it’s about as wide as an ocean and shallow as a puddle because they keep expanding the scope but not fleshing anything out, all the while releasing “pledge” shit for hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

A scheme designed to milk players for as much as possible? Sure. Outright scam? No. For as negative as I am on the subject, the “game” does exist and there are in fact people who enjoy it while understanding what it truly is.

BarbecueCowboy ,

It’s always felt like the world’s fanciest microtransaction fueled cell phone app to me but just on a PC. There is something there, but it’s not what the ads make it look like and you’ll have to pay a lot to even get close.

BruceTwarzen ,

Idk, i bought a ship for 45 dollars like 8 years ago and so far i played probably around 400 or so hours. I played it more than most 60 dollar games i own. I get why people hate it, but no one forces anyone to buy thousands of dollars worth of ships. I don’t think the game will ever be done, but they do put some work in, every time i play it again there is new and different stuff. And so far i have never played a prettier space game. I guess i got scammed.

neutronst4r ,

More like ScamCitizen, what they are doing is plain old fraud and deception.

DebatableRaccoon ,

Amazingly, I can’t even get their website to work long enough to sign up. Bodes well for playing the game…

dan1101 ,

It’s a cool tech demo, it does things the other space sims do not. But be aware during the free periods the game tends to run worse, it depends on servers a lot.

systemglitch ,

Once upon a time I was so excited for this game. Amazing how little fucks I give now.

I would not take the game if they have me every ship for free now.

TommySoda ,

As someone that has played a fuck ton of Star Citizen and bought a few ships… Don’t. It used to be a game. Now it’s a marketplace without the game. Every time they update it they make things worse and break everything else. Nowadays I can’t even get into it for more than an hour before I realize it’s the same game as it’s ever been or worse. I’d rather just go play something else. But don’t worry, they’re more than happy to sell you a ship for $2,000 that’s been “in development” since you were in highschool.

Maalus ,

Screw that ship. The worse part is the two hidden shops you see only after spending a certain, high amount of cash on the game. So “regular players” don’t see it and “whales” do

BaroqueInMind ,

Yo wtf? Please elaborate!

cristo ,

There is something called “concierge.” It is a tier of player that has spent 1000 usd or more on the game. They get access to extended ship sales, exclusive skins, etc. I will not confirm nor deny that I am concierge, although I love the game. I tell all my friends who want to get into the game to not buy anything more than the base 45 dollar starter package. Do they listen, no.

Donut ,

Ah yes, let’s enable the whales even more in throwing away money to fuel their addiction! I feel like this is something for the EU to look at, after loot boxes and other gacha mechanics. In my country they tried to ban them but failed.

cristo ,

I get it, but its not really gambling like gacha and loot boxes. You are buying something, the gamble is whether or not the project actually gets finished. What’ll make you real mad is the different levels of concierge and the fact they sell a 3500 usd packagae. Although thats not really meant to be bought with new money and anyone who does buy that with new money has a problem.

SuperSpecialNickname ,

If this isn’t proof that it’s made to extract as much money from you as possible then I don’t know what is.
