$50 spent on this is $50 NOT spent on Star Citizen, save my money?

[Stathi]

Just fired up my old copy of X3, after it crashed to the desktop after 30 min of fumbling round trying to remember wth to do, I decided to see if there might be anything worth looking at in the interim until Star Citizen comes out. I assume you all know about this, right?.... anyway, should I save my money? The movies look cool, the reviews are a giant red flag.

I would get a pre-purchase of Star Citizen and wait a few months for this to have a 75% off sale or more. It's a dud that only modders will make "fun."

I believe 2015 - they still have some slots left to pre purchas the game along with various levels of ships. They released the hanger module, so you can walk around and look at the ship you bought! LOL. Pretty amazing game from what I can tell. I was a huge wing commander, privateer, freelancer fan.

So its basically a PtW game if you can buy a ship worth $2000?

Any ship you pre-purchase can be bought normally in the game by playing it. You just get it earlier. Also this game isn't just a cheesy PvP game. -_-

Yes, listen to your Star Citizen masters. Pay hundreds of dollars for your "reserved ship" for a game that'll be out in more than a year. Jesus christ, you people are stupid. Can't you see he's just milking you guys? Star Citizen is just an overhyped Freelancer with a money grubbing dev. Creating a game isn't the dev's goal anymore, it's just money. I find it hilarious you fanboys listen to every word he says.

It looks to be true,they can't even get the dog fighting module out because of "issues" with the net code.

Star Citzen is starting to seem like just as much bs as this game. If X-Rebirth has taught us anything wait till the finished product is released.

There weren't any issues with the net code. The original CryEngine net code wasn't designed to scale up to the level required for a game of this size, so the team were left with two options: release a temporary solution that would only work for the dogfighting module but would then have to be thrown out later, wasting development time, or use the permanent code base they wanted that would work with all the other modules going forward, but delaying release by a couple of months. They chose the latter, and in all honesty I'd have done the exact same thing.

We're only a couple of weeks away from the dogfighting module, tops, and there have been views on both sides of the argument so my recommendation to anyone not yet in on SC at this time would be to simply keep an eye on how many alpha slots are left. With any luck there'll still be a few once the dogfighting starts, and at that point you can make a much more informed choice as to whether to get in on it. If they're running really low before then and you're desperately curious, just go for the lowest priced Aurora package.

My G-d, when I compare the 6 videos that Burndt put out along with a few dozen screenshots in 7 years of Development of Rebirth......... to the many Hundreds!! of videos being put out by Chris Roberts at Star Citizen within only 2 years, we are definately talking Pee-Wee league vs the Majors regarding the content/concept/quality from what I can see.

With over 200 staff, multiple third party speciality Devs and 42+ Million dollars, it looks to this space-farer that Star Citizen is doing everything right and has learned from all the mistakes of Re-birth. The team is amazing when you actually hear and see what they are doing.

Don't take my word for it.........simply check out the Star Citizen website as you can spend weeks looking over all the Dev's work to date, updates, and Space-Lore...........and perhaps want to save your nay saying if you've only glanced at things to date cause it really is an apples to oranges thing.

Again, while I will keep Re-birth in the hope it can improve and restore some of the greatness that Albion Prelude was........, I humbly suggest you will be missing out if you don't spend some time researching Star Citizen.

And I know my fellow dissapointed gamers in Rebirth are saying to my comments the old addage.......fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me !!! Well, I have only one thing to say about that.........May I be smitten with shame and never recover, cause I for one think from my research that it's going to be absolutely kickass.

But whether Star Citizen delivers or not, I for one have already far reaped the rewards of that website and that community and those other almost 500 000 plegers......... and you can choose or not to pre-pledge/buy the game for as little as 30 bucks, or simply wait until the fall when squadron 42 comes out to see. (The prepledge gives Beta benefits including the dogfighting module (almost out) and in the future a planetside and/or first person shooter module prior to the release of the initial missions (squadron 42 in the fall) which will open up into the Sandbox Universe at the end of this year.)

Well, whatever Big Eddy the Poster decides to do with his 50 bucks, my suggestion to him would be to buy both, but know Rebirth has still many challenges and only up to about a 5 out of 10 so far, and Star Citizen is still an unknown but risks nothing to check it out and gains you soon to be played Beta's if you spend the minimum 30 bucks pre-release.

ITS an Illuminati game.. I mean.. EGOSoft???
Who in its right mind thought we could Not get money from odiots?

[Tbone]

I bet those at Egosoft are laughing more than you do

[Tbone]

btw..and this is truth...The relaoded game that came just 24 hours after this initial release is probably the best. At least i can play it without spending money

[Tbone]

Its simple...the DEVS ae EGO
And they tried and succeeded with your ignorance

[Tbone]

I love them more then a batch of players who are stupid

[Raz]

I, for one, welcome our Illuminati reptilian overlords.

[Tbone]

btw... what is the def of stupid?

[Tbone]

To Raz: no you dont.!

I got an aurora back before they even had 1 million. I remember feeling bad for the chris roberts guy because he was basically a nobody who happened to make a game I liked (Freelancer). Back that short time ago he and that fat Eric Peterson guy used to talk with me in chat. Now they've gotten too "important" along with promising things they won't deliver, or at least not like the deranged immersive crowd believes.

I'm sure it will turn out better than X Rebirth though.
