PentA game

Worse than all that, it's a fucking space sim. Why are all these space sims wanting to add FPS?

It's about taking money from people who like spaceships.

Everything lol

It's supposed to be a "space life" simulator so you can basically do just about anything

Sir it's in the name. Star Citizen. Citizen of the stars. It's pretty clearly aiming to be what Starfield completely fucked up on.

A space game with as few restraints and as many possibilities as they can do. An Elite Dangerous with a much broader scope.

It’s playable if that’s what you mean. It’s still “early access” though.

I hear it has the same release schedule as Half Life 3, Knights of the old republic remake, and Road Runner vs. Acme.

Even more fascinating, people are still chucking money at it. Because apparently too many ran out of other things to waste money on. Entirely.

Well, see, with Star Citizen, you buy it to have an unreleased game that will allow you to buy a ship for 8000 dollars that you can.. stand around inside of and look at.

Seriously, This is peak gaming.. how can you losers not understand how great this is?! /s

barely... when's the last time a ray of sunshine slapped you across the face

Okay I did some math. If the gun shot a single photon with all the energy of a .50BMG from an M2 heavy machine gun, it would have about 1.2e-4 Ns of momentum. For reference, the bullet it's compared to would have 38.3 Ns. So the photon has about 32000 times less momentum than a bullet. Do with that what you will.

Just because the product they are making is quality does not mean it isn't a scam. The game was supposed to be released a decade ago now. They said they had the entire single player finished and ready in 2014. The things they have made are impressive, sure. But after that amount of time its looking more and more like they lied about how ready things were to get more funding, and have been doing that for a decade now.

If SC simply showed their original roadmap and timeline, it would speak to itself if it is a scam or or not.

As someone who bought in from the start (when everything was bundled), the argument of “not a scam” fell through when they started to hide their original roadmap.

I think so. Which is more realistic of course. But also a weird way to out "random recoil".

Well, procedural when applied to generation of scenery/galaxies etc means to create the exact same thing using random values that are the same random for everyone. It just saves on storage.

But, I cannot tell you how this would apply to recoil. It would only make sense if there were an absolutely huge number of possible weapons.

Those are already in the AAAA standard that Ubisoft pioneered with Skull and Bones.

They've had a "basic world" for a long time at this point, unfortunately it still doesn't go beyond "tech demo" levels of development.

Squadron 42, their single player game set in this universe, is supposedly nearly completely finished and coming "SOON™".

If Squadron 42 actually releases it would mean Chris Roberts has finally managed to start and finish a project without a parent company ordering him or taking away the project from him.

I check this game out once or maybe twice a year which is more than enough imo. There are plenty of people playing this daily though who apparently can cope with all the bugs and crashes.
