The funniest thing about SC when it comes to EVE is how all the "EVE is dying" people clamped on to it as a ;ever to use against CCP.

"Star Citizen is coming!, CCP you better make your game better for the masses or SC will kill you, and by 'better for the masses' I mean 'make it the way I've always wanted it since forever'!!!"


The same kind of people have done that to varying degrees with every game that even slightly looked "sci-fi", The Star Wars games, Star Trek Online, Elite, Black Prophecy, , Jumpgate, No Man's Sky and more.

I should create a web site that does nothing but predict the next "Messiah Game" that will come and save these types from the injustice that is EVE Online lol.

Who would know it, people want it. Bad luck developers cant stand the heat.

I loved the old Wing Commander Series from Chris Roberts. So if "Squadron 42" (the campaign of the game) is good i will give it a try. I'm not interrested in the pseudo MMO part, PvP Dogfights and all the rest of it. Just want a good old Spaceopera with an interresting story and fun missions.

I'm not a backer btw, if the product is good when they release it, i will buy it.

I'd like to be optimistic about SC but no.

Everything about it feels like either a long con or a failed delivery. Which one it turns out to be is largely subjective and depends on whether or not you gave them any of your money...

I don't think it's a con, but it's going to become a case study of "nouveau riche" business development.

They really, really should had stick to the initial plans for a 20 million $ game. Specially if it's true that they've burned 82 million $ so far and achieved nothing that can be released.... let alone anything that looks like a 82 million $ videogame.

I loved that video that compared mining in eve and in star citizen, showing eve ingame mining scenes (obviously not spectecular) and then showing a rendered fight within a asteroid belt in star citizen, then again complaining how eve mining is just click and wait, telling the audience that star citicen has such an awesome mining system, that will never ever bore anyone but sparing the audience how this will be achieved.

what I really loved was black prophecy, pretty bad it died in such an early state...

After I read somewhere that Chris Roberts had bought a yacht I stopped caring for the game. I don't know I just got a bad feeling about the future of the game after that.

I know this is a necro...

But has anyone had a chance to play SC 2.0 yet with the open universe?

And if you have, do you need to buy anything in particular?

I paid the $19.99 or whatever bought you the game but when I saw Arena Commander was extra I figured I would skip it.

Also, is this open universe open to everyone now or only a few?

What I read was vague on this fact.

Everyone can play it is alpha feels raw audio is empty for most part ship just take off no sound no feel for it size no engine power up or anything like that .

SC site will tell you do you have all things needed during download initialization so you will know before hand should you drop 40 gigs to your hard drive or not.

Planet is dull and boring space part i tried briefly like 10ish minutes so not much to tell it looks pretty.

Bugs are there very first attempt of entering constellation and i was walking around pressed something that i later found out was a toilet that catapulted me thru roof straight to space some 200-300 meters above ship..... talk about water pressure....

a lot of the money given for "development" is going into enhancing the lives of the people involved... such as leather shoes, yachts, premium clothing etc

its just another graphically intense vaporware.

dust for pc would be way better than that game anyways....

Huh. Strange. I have sounds in the universe, however the game crashes every minutes for me.

According to the RSI forums a lot of people have the same problem.

Also I think I need to upgrade my computer, but I don't want to do that for a while.

Oh well. If they fix the crashes it might be ok to play.

I did have a wow moment when I walked out into the landing pad and entered someone's docking bay. They kicked me off the ship though.

I suppose it is close to not being vapor ware. Well 2 years away.

my opinion, even with 2.0 being out, is the same. this thing will crash and burn. and you will see CR blame people like Derek Smart instead of himself.

CR's track record is not really that good for making stuff.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

You know there is some progression (although a bug ridden crashing progression).

I have a feeling that if RSI does not run out of money, it will release something.

It is yet to be determined if that something will live up to its hype.

As far as running out of money, it will depend on the player bases willingness to shell out more money for ships.

That doesn't seem to be abating.

I like Derek Smart though so I could go either way.

Star Citizen still has a long way to go before it can be considered a failure, plenty of mmos took the better part of a decade to release and were considered successful.
