If Star Citizen adds twinks to the game, I might consider getting it.
It’s Twinkies, so a little different, but still tasty.
As long as I get to the cream in the middle, I’m happy.
I don’t get why people are always so negative when a game is publicly developed for such a long time. It doesn’t really matter so long as the launch product is good.
In this case that seems to be the crux of the issue. Star Citizen players pay top dollar for mediocre ingame content.
People who take money are expected to deliver equivalent goods.
But it’s not been launched. It’s kind of like all the people that were bashing Skull & Bones or Rainbow Six Extraction before they even came out.
Sure, now that they’re actually out you can say people were right but I also wonder how much of that is self fulfilling prophecy. If you literally kill the PR for a product/game, it’s really hard for any studio or company to come back from that.
Nowhere has this studio said the game as it has been seen by players is “done” or the launch product.
They took $669 Million USD and they’ve provided content and services for 11 years, people can and should expect returns befitting those numbers. Problem is, though, the team clearly hasn’t demonstrated the ability to make that sort of product.
Probably closer to a billion but christ this might be the biggest bomb in history potentially. I just hope it either bombs or is great because I get entertainment either way.
“Bomb” as in “not selling” ? That ship has sailed a long time ago, hasn’t it ? They made hundreds of millions through that “crowdfunding” scheme of theirs already.
It could be complete garbage and then people file a class action ever the ships not being in the game or something similar, lots of money has been invested in this game.
Isn’t it basically a “X4: Foundations” plus multiplayer?
Not really no
Star Citizen is the game of tomorrow and it always will be.
Lots of SC hate in here and a lot of it deserved… but also its a prety good game Fyi but demanding on specs as its not very optimized.
I read this as “twinkless” and was like “well I’m not interested then.”
Rainbows twinkle at the end of the horizon
Its crazy that they burnt through almost a billion and theyre nickle and dime’n people for ship insurance/ single player. If I gave their crowdfund a penny (and waited 12 years), I’d be demanding a free game.
If you did fund it early, you got ships with unlimited insurance and the single player game is part of your package.
At this point it will be a retirement gift
