Over $600 Million Later, Star Citizen Is Now at the Alpha 3.20 Stage::Star Citizen’s long-running development has inched forward yet again, this time to Alpha 3.20 stage.
Playing starfield vindicated the development of Star Citizen. I eventually stopped playing sf after 30 hours to go back to sc because I feel more enjoyment in the immersion given to me.
“Immersion” when every NPC stands around doing nothing in a t-pose and some of them sit half in the ground.
Not really sure where you got immersion from. The entire city is also just a prop on planets you can’t really interact with (except the space port part).
I’ve felt more immersed in Cyberpunk.
To be fair, starfield NPCs see through walls, and stare into your soul at all times.
Lets not pretend the bar is high in either game when it comes to NPCs.
3.20 has been a great launch
Should see 4.0 soon bringing some of the last big architecture needed for the full universe
This game is taking so long because they are leading the way in this field of technology. What they are building has substantial technological hurdles - not just basic game design
It’s taking so long because their business model is selling ships and promises and never delivering.
Yeah, for a space sim those spaceships are awfully expensive… considering you pay with actual money. I like my games to be fun, Not ever-expanding money sinks.
I see this mentioned from time to time, but my understanding is that all ships can technically be bought with in game currency, it just takes a long ass time to get them.
Nice try Chris. You can’t puff up a substandard product without admitting you’ve done such a bad job at so many aspects of this scam that you’ve had to redo, like, all of it
Note: I do not blame you, you are raking in mucho bucks with no end in sight to the gravy train. Keep chugging!
Absolutely rediculous that it’s been allowed to go on for so long. Biggest scam in gaming history.
I think it’s incompetence really. They’ve basically started over on shit multiple times. It’s sort of that perfect is the enemy of good mantra at work. They’re never going to finish it.
This is exactly it. They’re continously pumping out content and updates; no scam would put in this much effort. But most of the effort is deeply ineffectual. It’s obvious that there’s some serious lack of organisation. They’re trying their best, but their best just sucks (and that’s not a dig at the people doing the grunt work, it’s clear that they’re very talented).
Hard to call it “effort” when they’ve been in an alpha state for a decade.
Why is that in a tech community?
Okay…so…when can we try it out?
Whenever you want…provided you spent like 50 dollars on a starter ship in 2014
You can play it now. They even offer a free weekend every now and then. I tried it a few years back but never got very far into it…
Who knows, the game might release by 2030 at this rate.
You can also pay for it and get a refund, which is what I did. It isn’t anywhere close to being finished.
I’m just super curious at to what $600m would get me. Maybe suckering people into paying for it out of curiousity was their genius business plan along though.
That’s the cost of about three typical AAA games. Genshin Impact’s costs up to around its second year of development is also about that much.
