FPS same as always, since it is just a description.

Multiplayer FPS is what they are talking about? Seems like a convoluted headline.

    2016, for me. 42 was supposed to release the next year…such a scam…

    boonhet,

    They have scaled back their projections for 1.0 from 100 systems to 5.

    Wow is that the first realistic thing they’ve done?

    We just need to buy another ship guise, they’re so close to release!

    Tedesche,

    Learn to spell before you make fun of others’ intellects.

    Passerby6497,

    Learn to recognize mocking sarcasm before you make dumb comments on the Internet

    Tedesche,

    I made no mistake. You should mind your own education more and spend less time throwing shade online.

    Passerby6497, (edited )

    Of course you did, which is why you chose to attack my intellect and spelling* instead of addressing what I’m mocking.

    It’s ok if people make fun of things you like, that doesn’t mean they’re dumb or anything. Assuming people are dumb for making fun of people who have fallen for the scam for over a decade says more about your intellect than mine.

    Tedesche,

    I have never had anything to do with Star Citizen, and I don’t care that you’re mocking it. I just think you should pay more attention to your spelling if you’re going to do so. It makes you look foolish.

    Anyway, I’m done explaining this to you. Buh-bye.

    Thank you for admitting you completely missed the sarcastic mocking. You could have saved us all some time by not protecting your ego from the start.

    Good, saves me the trouble of breaking out the crayons to help you understand the point you’re ignoring.

    yeah but how sick is the game gonna be after $1 billion in funding

    Now imagine it being double that good for just $2 billion!

    I’ve played elite dangerous for 4k hours. Done everything there is to do in that game. Had a great time. Glad I chose that game instead of the SC scam.

    CosmoNova, do games w Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year

    People still contribute to this scam? That‘s a shame.

    deadbeef79000, (edited ) do games w Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year

    $1 billion !?

    That is insane.

    Elite Dangerous had a budget of £8m… if Cloud Imperium Games can’t release SC for a hundred times that amount it’s because it’s a grift.

    Earthman_Jim,

    You did a reverse EriKa KirK there. I think you meant “grift” not “gift”

    deadbeef79000,

    I did indeed.

    I blame Samsung’s appalling autocorrect.

    Earthman_Jim,

    so ducking annoying

    Probably want to get a different keyboard then (one that doesn’t send them everything you type, for one)

    Passerby6497,

    it’s because it’s a grift.

    Always has been.

    Look at the price of those ships you can buy, its always looked like a very obvious attempt to keep rolling in money while always juuuuuuust being a bit too far away to release. But just give us a few more million and we’ll toooootally release it.

    Goodeye8,

    You can’t even see the most outlandish prices because the shop has a hidden shop. If you want to see the most expensive ships you have to have spent something like 12k on the game.

    I’m not sure if my entire steam library is worth 12k and my library is pretty big.

    Lmao.

    Even my non-gamer wife knows about the scam that is SC. Honestly, at least it’s just whales who fall for it, who had too much money undeservedly either way. 🤷

    Absolutely convinced is a government front for some research.

    Phegan, do games w Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year

    I am waiting to play star citizen until full release. I assume I will never play star citizen.

    MonkderVierte,

    I stopped buying beta games since one repeatedly broke some great mods, the modder gave up.

    fantacyde,

    Gonna get Senior Citizen before full release Star Citizen

    Rhoeri, (edited ) do games w Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year

    Categorically, this article doesn’t even belong in this sub. Star Citizen isn’t even a game…. It’s a scam.

    @sirico@feddit.uk avatar

    It is going to get to a point general development will surpass and standardise what this game has promised.

    Rhoeri,

    This “game” will never be released.

    BreadstickNinja,

    I’m starting to feel like I might own an actual spaceship before Star Citizen gets to 1.0.

    ripcord,
    @ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

    They’ve dramatically downgraded what 1.0 is supposed to be, so don’t be so sure

    Passerby6497,

    Wait… Store Citizen has a plan???

    WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

    There are many copies.

    boonhet,

    Concepts of a plan, really

    llamapocalypse, do games w Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year

    Goddamn just come play EVE, we have crime, pretty ships, and hilarity

    Korhaka,

    Started EVE in like 2009, now I find it just ends up taking so much time to do anything. Never been into 1v1 PvP but do like small to medium groups, but that can take so much time to get and you might not even find anything.

    So it ends up with you sitting there for ages with nothing going on, then When it does start to get interesting sorry gotta drop off to go to bed.

    I think Anvil Empires might scratch a similar itch for me, while being a bit easier to drop in/out. Albion Online is one I tried too but barely even got into much PvP, maybe I should try again. I like cheap builds really, don’t want to grind for hours to lose it all in 1 go. Not sure how cheap you can reasonably go in AO.

    rc__buggy,

    No flying though. I’m looking for airplanes in space and sometimes SC can scratch that itch but E:D is the better product.

    Like you literally cannot “fly” your damn spaceship, you have to use a point and click interface (at least the last time I checked). I wish SC was a good product and I’ll be sad the day E:D goes offline but EVE is definitely not it for me.

    edit: E:D is elite dangerous for people that don’t know what the fuck all these space dorks are talking about

    krooklochurm, (edited )

    Elite dangerous is a blast for a while. And it has vr.

    I haven’t played since before you could go and walk around, but for what it is I loved it for a while.

    Wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle but it takes a long while to notice the lack of depth and it’s a blast to pop in your vr headset and some good country trucking music and just hop around the galaxy trading.

    ripcord,
    @ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

    SC now has VR too

    Passerby6497,

    Yeah, but ED is a full game, not some decade old alpha scam that has no actual plan and is a living definition of scope creep and customer milking.

    I really wanted to get into Store Citizen back in the early 2010s, but thankfully I clocked the grift early before I put any time or money into it.

    Wooki,

    You have a sandbox for griefers. Nota chance in hell. Eve is not even remotely close to similar except it too grifts players

    boonhet,

    I mean in EVE, it’s the players that grift each other mostly. That’s why it’s called EvE, or Everyone vs Everyone

    llamapocalypse,

    You’ve kind of got to go out of your way to get “griefed” tbh, I largely fly solo and short of the occasional unexpected gatecamp or gank (the latter means you were doing something too risky in something expensive and somebody did the math) the biggest issue is in finding decent matchups that don’t end in a cyno dropping 20 redeemers on you

    eleijeep, do gaming w Welcome to the FPS vibe shift: At the end of 2025, it's clear that casual shooters are back in a big way.

    Overwatch heralded the death of the genre, after which (almost) every FPS release has been a casual shooter.
