    Why is this on metacritic? This is an unreleased game. And yes, this is at the same level of a tech demo, it is a game in alpha. Should it be in alpha after 10 years of development? That's another discussion altogether, but not fitting for a review in a category for released games.

    I've been following SC development for 4 years now, and while I can't recommend this game to people that simply want to play something and are not interested in tech and/or gaming development, I can't blatantly say it's a scam. They've made impressive progress on many fronts, and the scale they're working at is unparalleled.

    The reason this game is funded, even if it didn't have a stellar progress of development, is because the targeted audience fiercely wants this idea to be born. There is currently no other idea on the market that fits the vision of SC.

    The community is one of the most mature you'll get, and is friendly. Did Chris Roberts inflate the promises for the game? Probably yes, and as all things in life he will pay in some way if this is such.
    Still, the developers gathered for this project, and the progress I've observed until now are indicators of potential success.

    Will this MMORPG succeed? I don't know. But this is not a released game and this is not a scam.    … Expand

    The game itself is really good and the graphics are also, but there are so many bugs. Even though this is an Alpha, in my opinion the focus should be on bug fixing game breaking and frustrating bugs that makes the game nearly unplayable. Instead of adding more features that also bring more bugs.

Instead of adding more features that also bring more bugs. There are bugs in the game that are several years old and haven't been fixed and in my first day playing(12 hours) - I died 6 times because of bugs and lost multiple items because of bugs.

    These bugs are also so unavoidable and completly ruining my expierence. Then i look up the internet and see posts about this bugs 3 years ago and that makes me wonder if they even care about fixing. Everybody knows how high the budget for Star Citizen is and they can't fix some bugs I notice in the first few hours of playing the game?

    Without the bugs the game is probably a 9/10 and if there are even more features surely a 10/10, but I can't give it in the current condition a number higher than 5.    … Expand
