If you're not a fan of supporting games till they're out and finished then steer clear, Star Citizen is not likely to be "finished" for a while. The scope of the game is HUGE - think No Mans Sky if all the planned features of that game were actually intended to be put in the game... they recently admitted to some hiring mistakes which set them back a little... that should be sorted now, but it's still an unfinished game - officially still in Alpha.
I like it (though never have much time to play thanks to uni and travel to uni) but I see it being a good old gap between now and release.
When it is out... if you liked the Wing Commander games you *should* love it
so as the game stands at the moment then it's nothing like the 3.0 trailer I watched?
I don't mind paying for it to be developed as I mean hell I bought NMS and that's for intents and purposes a shit game currently that I weirdly can't stop playing. You can't fly the ships, the fighting is weak and the endless mining is getting real thin, it's nowhere near as pretty as the trailers and it's constantly rendering the terrain. The npc's are shit too, why do I keep playing it?
I think 3.0 will be good fun to play - but again, it's still an alpha so there could be bugs, or missing features - I'd not want to recomend something only to be told that I'd over-sold something
I know a few folks who do work there but I haven't spoken to them for a while so I'm not completely up to speed on where they are up to now.
Any particular reason you're not up for Elite: Dangerous?
That would still have them have spent less than Destiny cost ... a game with only the same mechanic repeated over and over and no real story content in a supposedly storey driven action RPG...
I don't think Chris Roberts had the slightest idea how to run a company of nearly 400 people is the big problem and things got away from them - given how good the later version look and work I think they've solved a lot of the problems (they'd say they solved them all some time ago)
Im happy to be proved wrong though.
I wanted NMS to be what SC is trying to be. If they could deliver what I saw in the trailer for 3.0 I'd be happy with it not in beta
of of course I may not be able to run either with my Mac in bootcamp windows 10?
I fully accept that it was quite early days and things could have changed a bit since then
Fast combat, shield/power management, just enough difficulty to keep you interested. That's enough. It needn't take 10 fricken years and a bajillion crowd funded dollars...
