this was the goon propaganda video recruitment for starcitizen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwjj4e1VRfc

We had high hopes.

Jst0rm.. the guy who stands outside of the party telling everyone we had high hopes that this would be a good party.. meanwhile, everyone's inside partying. Dude's just afraid to go through the door and see there's an actual party, because it means he has to admit this flawed, delusional perspective he has was wrong.

This will go down as one of the biggest scams (well, to be fair, let-downs) in video game history.

I'm up to 100+ hours of fun so far. If it crashes and burns tomorrow, that's a better return than a lot of other entertainment I've spent money on.

There are people on both sides of this thing turning the success or failure of Star Citizen into an existential human crisis. It's not, and it never will be, but then again I have a life outside of playing games.

The flight model is also broken as its better to just use a mouse.

Not even close. I use HOSAS / Pedals, and the flight model makes great use of them.

I like this video as well.

There is no game techboy. We look. ALL the time. People running around stealing ships from each other and becoming criminals in timeout spots isnt a game. Farming the same mission over and over isnt a game. This is a buggy tech demo. You are as bad as a Scientologist. I'm done with this thread for now. There is no saving you and you will get everything thats coming to you.

I find it interesting at how some of the first 20 pages of this have a few people predicting that this will fail, with everyone, including a former mod who hyped it out attacking those people as thread crappers. Now former mod who hyped it out and is basically unhappy along with a host of others... Definitely a turn of events here in this thread. If someone wants to see this in action, just skim the thread from the beginning and take a note of who was for it and who is not against it. This will go down as one of the biggest scams (well, to be fair, let-downs) in video game history.

Possibly or it could be a game changer like EQ1 or Crysis. We just don't know, u feel its safe to say if you are concerns wait for it to launch. There are playable area's now, I'll admit my current PC isn't up for running it but I've known from day one I'd be at the bottom end of performance.
Basically I'm saying if someone bought in early & has second thoughts ask for a refund its pretty cool that you can get a refund if someone bought in the last 24 months the risks should apparent. Being a gamer comes with the possibility you'll be disappointed, fair or not its been the case since the 80s.

You say things that aren't true. You're still stuck on the 'its a scam' idea from 2 years ago, and are so invested into it you can't let go no matter what's in front of you.

psychological projection isnt one of the fallacies. Its a real thing. Notice how I talk negatively about the game and you feel the need to then talk negatively about me? White knighting a videogame. To the point you try to get me banned from the forms for having a different opinion then you about a video game. Does that sound like a reasonable human? Does that sound like a great party?

Im also an anandtecher and I dont want to see my fellow anandtechers throw money down this drain. Without a counter point to the evangelicals more people could be in a uncomfortable position in a couple years and feel used.

There have been pages and pages of us "evangelicals" posting that if someone is on the fence, they should hold off. And pages of us stating that the best way to get involved IF someone does want to is with the cheapest entry packages.

Seriously, quit trolling. Or at least try harder, preferably with something new. I know you can do better than this :lol:

Somehow the latest posts from this thread gave me a strange urge to buy more ships. Lots and lots of ships. And UEC. Piles of UEC. All hail Lord Chris, our Savior and Protector!

you make up shit, troll and post fud and think its 'projection' when someone attacks your character?

Posting logic and realistic expectations that are based on current info and readily available data is white knighting?

Wanting a troll who has a delusional opinion based on fud that spams the discussion with negativity to be banned isn't reasonable?

The party is awesome, as long as you're not in the room.

Moot issue.

You're saying we're throwing it down the drain, and we're saying we've already gotten our money's worth.

It's like telling someone who's eating a tasty cheeseburger that they are clearly enjoying and didn't mind paying for.. that they're wasting their money.

Adults with money can easily drop $50 in a night having fun. You're going to tell this guy he wasted his money?

I've never recommended pledging for SC without explaining the current alpha state and the risk of loss and likely delays, and I've recommended to plenty of people that they look to other options and wait on SC based on the context of what they're looking for.

I've also seen several people in this thread do the same.

I've also seen you in those threads making random comments about SC (and were the first person to bring it up) instead of contributing anything relevant to the OP, so stop pretending you have any kind of real concern for Anandtech members.

No. when you said this "You say things that aren't true. You're still stuck on the 'its a scam' idea from 2 years ago, and are so invested into it you can't let go no matter what's in front of you."

That was projection. Because thats where you are right now in your mind. Everything is fine. The game is great. It was worth $500 even if it died tomorrow. There are no problems. its not a scam.

Thats why I said it was projection.

Yes. You're the one projecting. We're trying to have a reasonable discussion.

Basically.. just when you think Jstorm is done trolling and posting fud

We were having a discussion. This thread isnt just for 4 white knights whose hopes and dreams are completely invested in this one video game. Its also for others to discuss the game and its crowd funding.

At what point did I say you needed to be "Pro Star Citizen?" Where are you coming up with this stuff? If it doesn't make sense, read more slowly.

There was a recent post from a member asking about options for space sims / games. Three people who you like to label as SC cultists recommended keeping an eye on Everspace, NOT SC.

You jumped into the thread and made sarcastic remarks about SC and contributed nothing to the OP. If that's your idea of showing "concern" for the Anandtech community, I really don't think many here are interested.

Short and sweet 2.5 feature list from Leverett

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/4th2e4/official_25_feature_list/

I absolutely can't wait for Grim Hex. It's beautiful and having this as a new landing zone deep in the Yela belt will be stunning. IIRC, we can FPS there too like Kareah. It'll be like Kareah with shops.

thats it... from now on in this thread, unless it has anything to do with the GAME itself, and not the ETHICS of CIG or RIS, or the developers, or the conspiracy theory on the game I WILL ISSUE OUT INFACTIONS PERIOD.

If you want to talk about ETHICS of CIG make a new thread, but keep this thread related to the development and discussion of the GAME and SOLEY THE GAME.

This is my LAST warning in this thread, you will be given infractions from here on out.
