Star Citizen 1.0 'Twinkles on the Horizon', Dev Says — 12 Years and $669 Million Later - IGN
The developers of space sim Star Citizen are now talking about the 1.0 launch being within sight, some 12 years after the game launched its first crowdfunding drive.
"It's coming soon," he says as he lays off a ton of staff and flees the country.
Suuuure it does. I'm sure it'll be along any minute now...
I tried it maybe 4 months ago and it felt like a AAA bloated mess maybe 1 year into development.
I continue to maintain that a list of features and a big budget does not make a good game. What makes a good game is an engaging experience, where the features exist to serve that experience.
After $700 million you'd think we'd at least get a AAAA bloated mess
I guess this needs a preface, so, I invested $45 in the initial Kickstarter.
That being said. Every time I log in I'm amazed by the scale and scope of the systems in this game. It's a game in a mind blowing scale, with so much crazy detail and so much to do. It's also a massive clunky mess that I can't play for more then an hour. Nothing is really cohesive. Nothing works together, and everything is constantly broken.
There's a multiverse where this is the meta-universe that people interact with in a natural way, and people can exist in for almost their whole lives. But our universe rolled a one...
Bullshit.
I'll believe it when they're celebrating the 12 year anniversary of it officially releasing.
We need to stop promoting this bullshit.
Does this mean I may get some of the stuff I was promised back in 2014?
Nah.
But... what about Squadron 42?
