As far as #2 goes, I use what I already had. Intel quad core i5 3.4 ghz, 750GTX 2048VRAM, 16 gigs ram, Winders 10. It cost me under a grand to build my computer 4 years ago (my laptop costed twice as much) and I’ve only ever upgraded the graphics card. Star Citizen runs great for me… aside from the crashes that everyone experiences– because, ‘alpha’.

AAA quality games takes years to make they don’t just come out of the blue. Understand game development before you talk about how long its in development. Games like these take time to make.

That’s a big wall of text for somebody who, right from the very first paragraph, makes it blindingly obvious that you’re an idiot whose opinion of the game is formed solely based on bullshit others have fed you and you haven’t bothered to do any research on the topic yourself, or you’re just a complete moron who doesn’t understand anything about how this game and it’s funding and goals work at all.

Funny you say that, since it usually requires brains in order to make the money to purchase and assemble yourself a personal super computer. Sounds like you’re just a jealous little bitch.🙂

Not to mention all that DLC which was promised free is now going to end up being charged for. Sigh…

You aren’t going to be winning many hearts and minds with that condescending attitude, ‘son’. This sure was an indie game, which is what makes it such a shame that they decided to charge AAA price – $60.00! – for a glitchy knockoff that only shows 20% of the functionality previously demonstrated. DEMONSTRATED! LIVE! in front of thousands of spectators, unscripted, with playtesters!

Imagine you were buying another product, for instance a car.
The salesman lets you ride in the passenger seat as he shows you all its features:
the roof is photovoltaic and charges the car’s battery before your eyes from 80% to 100% in just a couple minutes. What insane power efficiency!
the roof folds up into the back, wow it’s a convertable too!
he accelerates the car to 300 miles per hour, wow what a fast car! amazing!
he drives it into a lake and it floats, driving around on the water. Holy cow it’s amphibious!

you’re so impressed you buy the car.
and so you pay $80,000.00 for this incredible groundbreaking technological marvel

but then as soon as you drive yours off the lot, it sputters to a halt. you check the roof… hey wait it’s not charging the battery! you check the battery – oh wait, this isn’t a battery, it’s a steam engine – a COAL FIRED STEAM ENGINE.and the roof isn’t convertible either! And even WHEN you shovel 50 pounds of coal into the boiler’s firebox, the car can’t seem to go above 34 miles per hour no matter how hard you push the accelerator. And forget waterpoof… because when it started raining the car fell apart.

but heeeeey don’t be mad! you knew what you were getting into! this is a car from an independent developer, you’re just happy it drove **AT ALL**, right!?!?! BESIDES, none of those features you were shown by the dealer were PROMISES, all he said was that they’re going to be part of the car you’re buying. That’s not a PROMISE! Why, that car dealer did a FINE job and he should never have to explain to you why the car you bought didn’t do any of the things you were told it was going to do. ever.

Because you’re a GOOD little consumer whore so you don’t complain when papa business bends you over, you SPREAD EM!

The money spent right now for in game items is just to support development. All of the items for sale will be able to be earned in game with no RMT. Your point on release date may be true, only time will tell, but the rest of this is absolutely false.

Burt,

1. The game is truly different from other titles and the developer never promised the moon.

2. I’m all for getting what you pay for but at the same time they shouldn’t be comparing these two titles since one is for consoles and the other for PC. Two different space sim on two different platforms. Star Citizen should be comparing itself to EVE or other PC centric space sims.

You sound like a true blind fanboy of CIG OR true hater of NMS.
NMS is a finished game and working game – SC is been in development for 4 years with tons of cash and still nothing is really is out there – Christ roberts like to release mind blowing trailers but when it comes to the users it’s far from what was shown.
You should be a shame of this title and you should release your hate somewhere else.

Marcus,

1. True NMS didn’t advertise itself as a space combat sim. Honestly they didn’t show much at all because as it turns out the game didn’t amount to much. Just mining and scanning really. A great tech engine in search of a game.

2. This is where you lose me. Gaming is a hobby like any other. You get what you pay for and spending money on a beast of a rig is not stupid if you have the money to do so. Sure the performance per dollar value goes out the window but to those that can afford it that doesn’t matter and that doesn’t make them stupid. It just means that they can afford the best. It would be the same as thinking it is dumb for someone to drive a nice car instead of a Corolla because it is cheaper and functional.
