I backed it back in 2014.
12 years ago.
Star Citizen has turned into something I never wanted. I just want Squadron 42.
Well that's supposed to come out this year. Start holding your breath now. I'm similar situation, i just want the simpler game that i backed a decade ago.
Hello similar situation, I'm dad
Well that's supposed to come out this year.
It was supposed to come out in November 2014.
I remember back in the day when i spent 23 hrs a day on a mmo. I got top of server and realized wtf was point. I hope that everyone one of these poor souls reaches that point too.
Then you realize it's the same with a career. What the fuck was the point is what you will be thinking at 60 years old.
Though I very much agree with sentiment, Sadly money.
I think this concept is a good one to help ppl find what they need to find in their lives.
It's a good idea but I think many professions are killing the love people have for it. For example, I liked tech until it become full of meetings, scrum, bad managers, stress, reorgs, and so on.
Scrum made my workplace better. It is run by peers, not management though.
Amen. Not many ppl are so fortunate to find stable place or even the mobility to go find it but if you do it's great.
Well, at least you got paid during your career. MMO, not so much.
False. I'm a decade out andnimmmostlynsrill enjoying the learning and the challenge of it all.
Do what ya love and you'll never work a day in your life.
This game is gonna party rock so hard when it comes out in a year or two in 2014. Just you wait and see!
all my apes gone
Mildly related: it feels like eurogamer has really stepped up their ragebait game. I've been subscribed to their rss for years and lately it's just ragebait after clickbait after community drama. What happened eurogamer? Who bought you?
They often but not always now run 2 different titles. One on the actual page, another in the embedded metadata that gets pulled on social media/RSS.
The more mainstream gaming becomes, the more bullshit the gaming media will become. Entropy at its finest.
Someday I will fly it. My kids will email me back to say "We understand now. We respect you". They won't call me The Sad Man anymore. Nobody will.
I had a friend tour me through the game and it’s honestly come a long long way. I’m considering getting an entry-level taxi ship and just exploring. From what I was seeing, that will keep me plenty busy for my ~$40 worth and I imagine quite a bit more.
For $40 it really is worth it. I've gotten soooooooooo many hours out of the game over the years, but God do I hate that game some times. Just always be prepared to lose your progress for no fault of your own, it's a perpetually buggy mess.
Just yesterday I flew down to a planet to check out the ship expo going on, called ATC, got assigned a hanger, was just approaching the opening to land when suddenly it wasn't actually open and I get teleported out of my ship. Had I had any cargo it would have all been lost, but I've played enough of this game to know only bring what is absolutely necessary and going to an expo meant nothing was necessary thankfully lol
Thats my strategy for going to food markets. I take $20 of cash and leave my wallet at home. That way I don't end up buying and eating everything.
Sounds like the kind of game that would be painful to play while working 9-5. I can't imagine spending an evening of free time doing that just to die to a game-breaking bug.
It can be pretty disheartening so I tend to stick to things that simply complete with very little interaction like a merc mission where it's just killing things so you don't have to worry about losing anything and failing the mission, or losing money on trade goods.
I had the same experience with about a million in refined ore a few patches ago. I stopped selling ore on planets after that.
But I agree, it is a fun game, and it has made progress. Looking forward to what this year brings
I thought they needed all of that funding to develop their next-gen engine? Don't tell me they've been spending it on hookers and blow?
It's the servers mainly. They're still implementing some core tech so I guess they don't find it worth spending so much time getting the servers running perfectly when the next major change just ruins everything again. They're going to be completely changing planet and POI generation soon so that's probably going to mess a lot of things up.
Kickstarter making bank on this one. Goddam.
I thought they moved the crowdfunding to their own site.
50 million over 14 years.
