Star Citizen

[Destraex]

JH I cannot wait to experience this in multiplayer to have some fun. My Freelancer has three spare crewseats and I reckon with the bunks we can invite at least 4 more! :)

Btw how does it work if you want to take a vehicle on your trip? I don't see any clear method to have it spawn with your ship? Are vehicles still tied to other game modes perhaps?

Destraex my performance is top notch. Smooth framerates save for some light stutters when a new scene loads. This is on an SSD.
But I haven't checked out the vast urban expanse of ArcCorp yet.

What are your specs? My performance was horrible even with a ssd. I need to do some serious work on my pc anyways I suspect. My install is something like 7yrs old and playing up a bit lately.

I'm having the best performance under the current build than I have ever had. Very smooth and stable. My install in not on my SSD.

Nothing fancy anymore by today's standards save for the videocard:
Intel z87 chipset
i5 4670K 3.4 Ghz
32GB RAM
GTX1080
Samsung Evo SSD
Soundblaster AE5

This guy's first 5 minutes mimic my own attempts to get into Star Citizen. Admittedly, he stuck with it more doggedly than myself. I'll get back to it one day (perhaps)

Well I've watched about 7 mins of it and I must say that he sounds surprisingly incapable as a gamer. :) SC being in alpha state should mean enough to prevent anyone bitching as hard as he does about framerate and gameplay cohesiveness.

If he just had been a bit more patient, perhaps scrolled through the keybinds menu for a bit he would have made life quite a bit easier on himself. Lol. I am sorry but its all a bit whiney and if you're that incapableas a gamer you shouldn't come near alpha's anyway. :D

@Pete I snickered there, buddy. :)

Later on (10:40) he places SC somewhere between the ease of No Man's Sky and the intimidating intricacy of Elite Dangerous #:-) ???.

SC being in alpha state should mean enough to prevent anyone bitching as hard as he does about framerate and gameplay cohesiveness.

Um, he had a point regarding framerate at least.  Did you watch it?  It was more or less a slideshow for him a lot of the time.

[Yskonyn]

I listened more than I watched and I am sure he did, but he also went on a lenghty intro speech about the prior history of the game and the state of the gameplay.
So IMO he shouldn't bitch about performance issues knowing full well the PTU isn't optimized and is called Alpha. To me he indicated not being very well versed in the meaning of alpha's, being overly dramatic cause that's what gets him views or a little of both.

He should go back to making music is all I am saying. :D

[Huw the Poo]

The rest of your criticisms are perfectly valid, but performance - no.  Whatever else is said about SC, its fans will always say it's at least playable.  But for him, it wasn't.

Well I thought it was funny...it's why I posted it. Fuck me, if only I'd known.

Actually further on in the video, certainly at the end and several times throughout, he says he enjoyed it, regardless of the issues he came across. I am paraphrasing, so shoot me  :-"

Um...what's the problem?!

Yeah he does, which is actually reassuring as I'm still planning to buy it soon.

Err.. to be sure the 'he' in my post is the video guy, not you JD. Just in case you are refering to my posts.  \m/

My CPU is letting me down. I pretty much have the same specs as you. EXCEPT my CPU is an i5 3570k. I might try setting it to medium :P.

Also in other news. Another mate of mine told me that a few days ago he saw a piece saying that the devs only had < than 100 million left and were spending at an average of 30 million a year? That's still a long time to be able to finish this sucka. But it does get you thinking about whether it is enough. I will try to get the article out of him but I doubt he will have it. I cannot see it on failure to report or bored gamer youtube. So I doubt it is fresh news. He may be talking about the recent forbes article I guess.

The article is on page 27 of this thread, which is where the discussion of it follows. Its old news which gets recycled every year.
