I have no specifics tbh and I have no business talking about it because I haven't touched the game in recent months, only fiddled about with it probably over a year ago and since then I've just read up a little bit and looked at footage. It just seems to me like it'll be a jack of all trade and a master of none, the devs promised so much and yet everything they've released seems to be half baked. It may have gotten better since but footage I've seen seems underwhelming, even if we ignore the bugs which are to be expected. Add to that a batshit crazy fanbase that's deeply invested (both emotionally and financially) in this absolute marvel of a game that's being promised to them... I think there's a lot of grounds for people to be disappointed. It is really, really beautiful though. But I think it will be shallow, and I think that a lot of the features that were promised will be either missing or poorly integrated. It's just how I am tho, I like maintaining low expectations for everything so when something good comes up it's that much more exciting. I'll buy Star Citizen if it turns out to be good but some people are already down literally tens of thousands of dollars buying virtual ships for a game that's not released -_- | ||

And then in the comments section: jivebeaver 1141 points 10 hours ago i think if you dissect all the articles or interviews about this game up to release you will find a lot of just pure malarkey. like this one talking about potential features "The team programmed some of the physics for aesthetic reasons. For instance, Duncan insisted on permitting moons to orbit closer to their planets than Newtonian physics would allow. When he desired the possibility of green skies, the team had to redesign the periodic table to create atmospheric particles that would diffract light at just the right wavelength." even if you gave them the benefit of the doubt that they could simulate ray based light refraction at the molecular level (which may require a NASA super computer and cause the game to run slightly worse than it does now on PC), wheres the evidence of any sort of interactions between the periodic table? theres no presence of gaseous elements anywhere, theres no atomic weights, just plutonium-lined planets. ... TWITCH_MIA 849 points 8 hours ago This shit made me spit my coffee... "When he desired the possibility of green skies, the team had to redesign the periodic table to create atmospheric particles that would diffract light at just the right wavelength." WTF AM I READING? | ||

TB contends there were plenty of red flags warning potential customers about this game. people projected their wishes, hopes, and dreams onto a game with deliberately vague pre-release advertising. The dreamers got a rude awakening while Sony and Hello Games filled their pockets with pre-order cash. Wow, i've never seen that happen before. There is a sucker born every minute. | ||

When these things happen on reddit is it often mods trying to suppress opinions. Sub reddits are pretty autonomous and as such there is not really a level of oversight of mods like here on TL. It could have entirely different reasons but the logical explanation is to try and hide the truth about the game. | ||

They do a lot of talking, it's what they do. They like their marketing, they sell ships for hundreds of dollars still. There's also some pretty footage that looks like the mechanics are mediocre. Last I saw of the gunplay, it seemed to be an absolute disaster. When I did some dogfighting in the alpha, it was straight up bad. But the rabid fanbase will deny, of course, because they're invested. But show me something good and I'll change my mind. What I've seen is -Beautiful scenery and graphics -Horrible dogfighting -Horrible gunplay -Absolutely disgusting monetization -Extremely long development time -Confusing website. What can you buy? What are those versions? Can I buy the game, why do I buy a ship when I buy the game? -The game is split into two now? What? Anyway crowdfunded games are always iffy, so you can't blame people for getting skeptical a few years into development. I'll just have to see evidence that the game will deliver on its promises and tbh the footage I've seen suggests it'll be eye candy and not much more. | ||

Many people have started predicting vaporware, I don't think I would agree... but I'd bet $20 that when this releases in 2017-2018, it'll have half-baked features. There's something powerful that comes from actual deadlines from investors who have leverage, and from the need to sell copies after finishing a game. Either way if I'm wrong I won't feel bad about this, I take no pleasure in being pessimistic. I can say that I'm happy I've only preordered one game (a known quantity I had tried and enjoyed) since D3's release and it has saved my ass quite a few times. Being distrustful and not buying into the hype will save you grief and money in the long run. | ||

I don't care how much you hate the game, the "logical" explanation is not the sub's mods deleting one post about criticism to "HIDE THE TRUTH, MAAAAN". There have been tons of very angry posts that have gotten just as much attention. Also his entire account is gone, not just that post, as someone mentioned. And someone copied the archived post for posterity and the mods re-stickied it. If you want to get all tinfoil hat about anything, you could convince yourself Sony or HG contacted him directly and asked him to do it, for any number of reasons. Or he just didn't want to deal with angry fans messaging him. Who cares. We'll never know for sure. At least a copy of the post is still there on the front page.
