Star Citizen [free week] [not steam]

Nice. I think I'll give it another go. I downloaded it last time they had a free week but it didn't run very well. I've got an SSD since then so hopefully I'll notice an improvement. Interested to see how it's coming along.

how is going the development o f the game...?? i followed this game years ago i cant remember when... its finished?

I'll give it a try when it's 1.0

So in 20never

I only wanted the SP part anyway. Good thing that's completely done and will be released in 2016.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here with the "was released the following week" bit. It's still in alpha though?
Do you mean like an anniversary or something?

I've long since lost faith in it when I realised they held a convention for it, an unreleased game, while still accepting purchases under the guise of 'fundraising'. Well, that, and as someone who bought a lower-end ship package (including the singleplayer and an Avenger), after spending forever downloading it on my slow-yet-stable connection, I logged in to find that to play the arena mode you had to make a separate purchase. A year and a half later, and someone on a random chan-style forum said that it's free now. Downloaded the whole shebang again and it was a big nope on that front. Worse yet was that when I actually got to try it out on a 'free fly' weekend, I was frequently disconnected early in sessions because small amounts of packetloss / stutter / lagspikes resulted in whole "connection lost" reaction in a VS AI mode.

Star Citizen is a lovely idea, but ever since they realised there is more money to be had in generating ship content rather than in expediting the body of the project, it's just going to be milked to death while veering further and further towards microtransaction hell. I mean, it'll probably be finished eventually, but it's going to be less of a game with a full soul and more of a weird life-support symbiote used to float their entire company.

Wow, according to the Development Timeline the kickstarter campaign ended in 2012. I completely forgot about Star Citizen because even by 2016 no end of development was in sight. In hindsight i probably wouldn't have kickstarted it, if someone had told me that it would take more than eight years till release. (Planned release currently Q1 2020)

This scam is still around?
