Buy it if it comes out, then.Shadowcatbot wrote:Thinking about shitting the $45 or whatever for the most basic package of SC.
Still on the fence though, Shit's ungodly expensive for a combat mode and expensive ass models.

Re: Star Citizen
That'd be a bit more sensible than circlejerking what little's available or tearing into it for the sake of being contrary.

Re: Star Citizen
@Tiel that's essentially how I react. Either "Okay, so but it cheap when it comes out a d do the grind," or "Get some fun stuff now and maybe Alpha access," pick one.
Slightly relevant: the number of people who get WHOOSHed by the pricing and such amazes me. Guys, guys, this just in: you're not paying $125 for a fighter, you're paying about $20 for a game, $20 for another game, and $85 to support the development. Even if you forego the package and buy just the ship, it's prced the same way; $x to buy the ship, $y to support development.
The Fine Print, thou shalt read it.

Re: Star Citizen
And I get that perfectly. I got my expensive super hornet because A) Its what I want to do in the PU, and B) I wanted to help CIG make this game a reality. Unfortunately lots of other people don't get thatError wrote: Slightly relevant: the number of people who get WHOOSHed by the pricing and such amazes me.

Re: Star Citizen
Honestly, I am spending a ton of money on the game, but actually, I don't get a kick out of buying an awesome internet spaceship as much as being actually useful to the development

Re: Star Citizen
Error, people are whooshed by the prices because where the money goes doesnt matter, if you have to pay $60 for a game or item even if $59 of that goes to charity or painting rocks the fact is your still payin $60 for it.

Re: Star Citizen
Kinda, while I support Terran seperatism, I am unlikely to militarily support them and instead remain quasi-neutral as in that I will economically profit from any military action involved in Terran seperatist movements, possibly giving the Terrans slightly better deals than the Imperials.

I support the separatists in all capacities. Free the Terrans!

Re: Star Citizen
Trying to free Terra and other interested parties from the UEE. While not tyrannical, it is laughably ineffective, and amusingly gutless.
