Have you ever wrote anything positive about this game at all?
I have bought a Constellation backing package, an Ebay Mustang Omega and a grey market LTI Super Hornet because I love the design and thought hat LTI was worth it if this game turned out to be what I hoped it would be at the end of 2014/ start of 2015. Oh, there's also X52 HOTAS, later replaced by the CH Products HOTAS setup and the MFG crosswind pedals, TrackIR (hey, guess what does not seem to have proper support in Star Citizen?). HOTAS and TrackIR I bought initially because of Star Citizen, but figured could be used pretty well in some other things I'd like to play. Would you call an euphoria fueled ~1000$ spending spree as being positive?
But I wasn't active on neogaf back then and positivity had compeltely dried up somewhere around the middle of 2015, when they started selling increasingly ludicrous concept ships. Most notably around the time the Starliner concept sale started. Cocktail mixing mini game? In flight movie theater simulation? For the benefit of AI passengers complete with health simulation, a flight attendant job market and whatnot? In a game that had back then and and today still has not shown any sign of non-hostile NPC bar some pretty static oir scripted figures?
Cracks in a wall...
Tell me one thing. If you think they are under-delivering, which other game approached what they did and in what time. And what were your original timeframe expectations for the game CIG is making?
No other game approaches what they promise. There is no game with that scope and there is no timeframe with that scope. Because turning their civil space flight I mention above fantasy into an engaging game alone could mean having a project as complex as any civil flight simulator. FSX in space? Hell yeah! But that, while at the same time promising FPS to beat the pop culture that is CoD, cinematic campaign, space MMO with trade, bounties, mining etc. pp.. Having backed in 2014, my original expectation was seeing progress throughout 2015. Yet, I saw ludicrous ship sales attached to concepts that had and have no connection to what they have been showing since 2014. To round all that off, there's the dishonest handling of Star Marine. First it's delayed indefinitely, then it's weeks not months away, then it's fallen under the table and backers please ought to stop bothering Roberts, as it's in the Alpha 2.0 anyway. But suddenly it's in 2.6, which is part of a plan to release a major patch per month throughout 2016. Was it in the game or wasn't it? Then they're selling scripted demos as progress for the MMO they initially promised.
Things didn't add up and they continue to not add up.
