Star Citizen is Facing a MAJOR Deadline

"A lot of cool features, but not a lot of gameplay." Star Citizen in a nutshell.

Our grandchildren will tell us how good the game is on our deathbed.

9 years ago as a broke college student, I bought into this game at a sizable expense, played for a while, got over the bugs and the jank, and put it on the shelf. 9 years later, I have finished my degree, met a girl, got married, have a mortgage, 2 children, started a business, and got my pilots license. I picked up the game last month, exited to see the progress. Played it for a week, got over the bugs and jank, put it on the shelf.

I hope 1.0 comes out before the inevitable nuclear war starts lol

Can't wait for people to realize that once Pyro comes out its just going to be the same old missions and same old economy that has no purpose. Game needs 5x the content and an actual progression system that can't be bypassed by whipping out the old wallet....

The only deadlines are ship sales m8

Plot twist SC has no deadline.

The base building stuff was spearheaded by Todd Papy, who left CIG shortly after CitizenCon, so who knows what's going on there.

Bruh its just a joke at this point. The devs are starting to add furniture to the second floor of a house that has floorboards missing on the ground level

Watch vid. Get on. Hanger doors wont open.... log off. Wait 6 months.. repeat.

CIG: "I am once again asking for your financial support"

Whenever CIG talks about stuff at CitizenCon I just remember, they actually call it Citizen CON. Why would you believe anything you hear there?

I don’t know after 7 years it still feels the same. The core mechanics haven’t been improved at all. I did a FPS fight in a bunker and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Gun wouldn’t fire, med pen stuck in hand or not working, the whole on call, animation queue and latency of the server is whacked. Same goes with dogfighting, desynching, delays and whacky animations. I can appreciate that they added ammo pooling, EVA, medical beds in vehicles and spacecraft as spawn point if you bind. However, playability, stability and performance are no where near close. As usual nothing really works.

A decade later and it still feels like nothing more than a tech demo.

CIG is basically a laugh, nothing more. 4.0 in 3-4 years, atleast the features will take that long, patchnumber wont reflect the reality. SQ42 in 4-5 years. Also AI blades are damn needed or NPC gunner v0, but they cant get shit done besides time sinks

I am ready for Star Citizen to be STABLE!! Then, I am ready for a game that is deeper than a puddle. Finally, I am ready for the cool features and new ships AFTER the above things mentioned are 100% complete. Ya know, basic Project Management... P.S. Whoever thought the compass design was a good idea needs a professional Neuro Consult and possibly a Psych Consult too!!

Star citizen missing a deadline isnt anything new..

Showing a lot of cool game engine features during events and then not delivering them on time is pretty standard for Star Citizen. Similarly when they promise "soon" it normally means "Not anytime soon. Ask someone else in two-tree years."

I knew they would fail. Failing is the only thing they ever do with consistency. As for new features, don't ever expect anything to get in and work as intended. It's always a "tier 0" version which is a bullshit excuse for them to say they got it in but it could be years before it's where they want it to be. How are they doing now? I think they are likely drowning in tech debt and I'll be very surprised if we get to Pyro this year - if we do, it will be at Christmas, it'll be a mess and need several .x patches which we won't get until at least February. CitCon this year will likely be a S42 release announcement (probably next year), a big ship sale and more bullshit.

The map is awesome? Have you been playing lately? It's been janky as f***!!!
