Someone has to critique those treats, especially when it comes to Star Citizen. I'm simply taking over his job and responsibilities while he's away.

He's guarding the gates of hell to make sure Kissinger doesn't get out. He best not get distracted

wasting time on reddit but not hexbear? I wouldn't wish such an awful fate on him

You mean the popular Japenese anime that aired on Toonami, the same network space that carried Cowboy Bebop?

I don’t think any part of that studio is $700 million worth of tech unless you count all the toys the CEO has been buying himself for 12 years.

The kind of game Star Citizen claims to eventually be fundamentally doesn't work. An open world space sim is a concept that sounds cool in your head but if you think about how it would actually play, it's simply not good. Space is impossibly large and 99,99% empty. Even a single planet is way, way, waaaayyyy too big for an open world game, and Chris Roberts hilariously promised 100 star systems at one point.

Star Citizen, were it to ever come out, would first and foremost be a fast travel simulator. Sitting in loading screens waiting to be teleported to the 0,01% of the ingame world where there are actual things to do and see. Flying through space in your starship would be fun for a few minutes before you press the warp speed button to get to your destination already. Because again, space is empty. There's nothing there. Planets would either be desolate wastelands or contain a single activity hub where 100% of players are at any given moment.

There is no way to do the scale of space justice. Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA 5 are gigantic games and each take place in a single city. You can run across all of WoW in a couple hours. Star Citizen would, at best, have the same amount of content as those games but spread across 100,000,000x the surface area. Flying your ship around would become very old very quickly.

They didn't make a cool engine though. They just made a pretty Cryengine demo that runs like shit which is scam game easy mode.

I liked it a lot, it is a good game to jump in, fly around for two hours and come back the next day or something. I liked it more since I have my own flying stick, the flying was smooth and fun. My only big issue was the "now what?", after completing a few missions, buying a new ship I didn't really know where to go. I guess I should have looked more into joining the Fuel Rats. Maybe one day.
