"didn't show anyone playing it live." Uh. Clive was literally playing on stage during the showcase. Complete with yearly CTD and all.
I'm all for shitting on CIGs trash practices, but you don't need to lie to get there.
I'm just working off the video linked above. No video of the player, no commentary, no indication a person was actively playing it.
If they actually played it live, well bully for them. One point goes to star citizen.
The video is a redo from the guy who did it live at Citizen Con, because the demo crashed when they were onstage.
Okay, so they got the game "somewhat working" live? Well, that's something I guess.
I guess that explains why the commentor above posted a pre-recorded video instead of the actual live video that undermines his argument that the game is nearly done.
I posted that video because it was the first one I found, it's not a grand conspiracy to trick you, jesus. Get over yourself. Watch the actual live one then, I don't care. Still looks like a fun game.
Looks like a fun game isn’t what is being discussed here.
What IS being discussed is if this so called “feature complete” game is ever gonna come out. If its feature complete how is it crashing in the first demo they show? 2026 is a long ways away for a feature complete game.
As a dev, I realize feature complete doesn’t mean done but it also doesn’t mean an extra two years lead time before release either.
Just like the rest of Star citizen, aspirational date after date with no serious commitment. What they do release is either a little or a lot broken. This shits been going on for over a decade, but yeah it’s totally different now (but like, not now, but in 2026!)
….but it lOoKs LiKe A fUn GaMe!!!!!!
