Its progressing in terms of quantity of content but it all feels a bit horrible to me. Its personal opinion I suppose, but I just don't see enough progress. | ||

Seriously regretting all the money I put into it now, but I tried to get a refund last year and they said no thanks. Its progressing in terms of quantity of content but it all feels a bit horrible to me. Its personal opinion I suppose, but I just don't see enough progress. I'm really curious about this. A few different people have said something similar now. With something like Elite Dangerous, even though it's shallow and there's not much to do gameplay wise, I would argue it's very good at what it does do. I kind of expected SC to fall along those same lines. Is that not the case? I was interested in getting into alpha/beta/whatever back when I got into Elite but haven't really followed development since then. Now it seems like the folks that have actually been playing it say that the stuff that is there is kind of clunky, rather than a solid core that's just too ambitious for its own good. | ||

if you're talking about star citizen, it is bugged to pieces like an alpha/pre-alpha the issue people has is they say its been in dev for so long that it shouldn't be that way and they question the dev's ability to ever make it playable no matter what amazing features it demonstrates, they haven't fixed basic playability yet and people are pissed off they are pouring cash into new ships for 2 years instead of making the game actually run for 5 minutes or letting more than 10 people log into the server without crashing something like that | ||

Almost participated in the kickstarter too, but really glad I didn't. The only reason I remembered it now is because I googled "Mark Hamill Wing Commander" and something popped up about him being in the single player campaign for this game too. Sadly this project is kind of a trainwreck. No planning, bad networking and unending engineering debt. Plus it became/is massively P2W, with ships costing in the thousands. Its really insane the whole thing | ||

I was really hoping this would be a success I loved the old space combat games, and this looked amazing. Well, from chairman Ray's post it seems they are still working hard at it, and maybe they can turn it around and complete this, but if they expect people to shell out thousands of dollars for ships then I still won't be inte in playing | ||

Its really well made and brings back that Wing Commander feeling nicely. | ||

And the artist from that is now working with Double Damage Games (who made Rebel Galaxy) on a new Privateer-ish game. Still early but there's clips out They also pitched this Star Wars game to Disney but it didn't go anywhere: Shame it didn't go anywhere but they can do space action. Looking forwards to the game from the twitter clips! | ||
