    So 600 years into the future and the Earth’s army sounds exactly like the US Army of today, but looks a lot whiter? wow there’s been some ethnic cleansing in this Empire

      Yes, I think it would be way more fun to play if they spoke some language I don’t understand or at least said “frak” a lot.

    “Focus on optimization” = normal people can not get close to affording shit beyond their existing 10 year old hardware.

    I looked it up and I backed this thing in October of 2012. I’ve played 0 minutes of this game. Talk about return on investment.

    Considering how bad his financial management is i doubt he has money left to finish his “magnum opus”.

    Game will probably cost 100$ for base edition and 500$ for day one dlc and 50000$ for ultimate edition and in game store of course.

      There are so many things to actually criticize CIG for that it seems weird to come up with something like this out of nowhere. When they were last selling SQ42 as a standalone it was $40. Despite all of the entirely justified memes about expensive ships you can still buy the complete Star Citizen game for $45 and unlock all those ships in game. While CIG have zero problem shilling $5000 ship packages to overly eager whales, they’ve always kept their base asking price impressively low.

    Considering the persistance and severity of bugs in Star Citizen I would expect this one to be delayed about 5 more years. There is no way they get this out the door in a working condition any time soon.

      They let around 100 people play the game throughout the weekend.

      All reviews where very favorable.

      So,.I think sq42 is pretty close to release

    Holy shit finally. I was one of those idiots who pledged $40 way, way back when Star Citizen was first announced, solely because I wanted Squadron 42. I’ve maybe logged into Star Citizen twice.

    Will be extremely surprised if there’s a playable game next year but I’m into it.

    Chris Roberts’ upcoming single player magnum opus, Squadron 42, now has a Steam page, the company’s focus on optimization will allow the game to run on early 2010s era CPUs

    Yeah, I believe this Chris Roberts guy, he seems to be very trustworthy.

      Yeah, fucking what?

      Star Citizen?

      Optimized?

      Its notoriously a horrifically buggy and unoptimized branch of literally the Crysis engine which was famously memed into oblivion as being quite hardware intensive.

      … on the very hardware specifically mentioned.

      That’s made basically no progress in terms of optimization for about a decade now.

      This is delusional.

      Like did nobody see the recent ‘hey guys this is our dev branch you can see how much more optimized it is - woops its buggy laggy and crashes all the time’ live stream?

        You don’t get it. It wasn’t buggy. Sure, they delayed the game again, but that was totally because of GTA6. Trust
