Earlier today, Cloud Imperium Games’ Star Citizen officially passed the one-billion-dollar mark on its funding tracker.
I had a friend tour me through the game and it’s honestly come a long long way. I’m considering getting an entry-level taxi ship and just exploring. From what I was seeing, that will keep me plenty busy for my ~$40 worth and I imagine quite a bit more.
For $40 it really is worth it. I’ve gotten soooooooooo many hours out of the game over the years, but God do I hate that game some times. Just always be prepared to lose your progress for no fault of your own, it’s a perpetually buggy mess.
Just yesterday I flew down to a planet to check out the ship expo going on, called ATC, got assigned a hanger, was just approaching the opening to land when suddenly it wasn’t actually open and I get teleported out of my ship. Had I had any cargo it would have all been lost, but I’ve played enough of this game to know only bring what is absolutely necessary and going to an expo meant nothing was necessary thankfully lol
Sounds like the kind of game that would be painful to play while working 9-5. I can’t imagine spending an evening of free time doing that just to die to a game-breaking bug.
I had the same experience with about a million in refined ore a few patches ago. I stopped selling ore on planets after that.
But I agree, it is a fun game, and it has made progress. Looking forward to what this year brings
Thats my strategy for going to food markets. I take $20 of cash and leave my wallet at home. That way I don’t end up buying and eating everything.
I thought they needed all of that funding to develop their next-gen engine? Don’t tell me they’ve been spending it on hookers and blow?
Someday I will fly it. My kids will email me back to say “We understand now. We respect you”. They won’t call me The Sad Man anymore. Nobody will.
I remember back in the day when i spent 23 hrs a day on a mmo. I got top of server and realized wtf was point. I hope that everyone one of these poor souls reaches that point too.
Then you realize it’s the same with a career. What the fuck was the point is what you will be thinking at 60 years old.
Though I very much agree with sentiment, Sadly money.
I think this concept is a good one to help ppl find what they need to find in their lives.
Well, at least you got paid during your career. MMORPG, not so much.
False. I’m a decade out andnimmmostlynsrill enjoying the learning and the challenge of it all.
Do what ya love and you’ll never work a day in your life.
Kickstarter making bank on this one. Goddam.
50 million over 14 years.
I thought they moved the crowdfunding to their own site.
Mildly related: it feels like eurogamer has really stepped up their ragebait game. I’ve been subscribed to their rss for years and lately it’s just ragebait after clickbait after community drama. What happened eurogamer? Who bought you?
The more mainstream gaming becomes, the more bullshit the gaming media will become. Entropy at its finest.
They often but not always now run 2 different titles. One one the actual page, another in the embedded metadata that gets pulled on social media/RSS.
I backed it back in 2014.
12 years ago.
Star Citizen has turned into something I never wanted. I just want Squadron 42.
Well that’s supposed to come out this year. Start holding your breath now
Well that’s supposed to come out this year.
