It seems a lot of people haven't played it. It's quite playable and has less bugs than the average new AAA game.

It's currently got 4 planets, each with 3 or more moons, and many stations that can be visited. 6+ game loops and around 30 flyable ships.

Yeah people spend way too much real money on it, but 90% of the fly read ships are purchasable in the game. At least give the damn game a shot before you shit on it. The community is super nice and willing to help new comers.

Edit: Not sure why everyone is so upset. This is my experience and every argument I've seen against sc is about bugs or spending real money on ships. Let people enjoy the games they want without getting so mad cause someone likes a game you don't.

and it only took almost 15 years and a three quarters of a billion dollars to get... most ships flyable, and a couple planets.

and you say that as if its praise worthy.

I mean what game has been around with active development for 15 years? Most games development stop at 5sh. I paid $45 8 months ago with no reason to spend more.

While 15 years is stupid, at least it's a fun game. So I'll continue to enjoy it while not spending anymore money on it.

Project Zomboid Playable since 2011 and still in active development, oh and no micro transactions, ton of mod support and costs $26.

Less bugs than the average new AAA game is just not true lol. I have a lot of fun with SC but it's a complete buggy mess.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For me this is true, I've been playing since 3.18 and haven't had many bugs. Cyberpunk and Halo had more bugs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Give me your secrets, lol. I want to love SC desperately but I find prohibitively frustrating every time I die in an elevator for no reason, or my ship explodes randomly, or I'm unable to get up out of the bed, or my character phases into the planet, etc etc etc. Functions on ships just don't work sometimes for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I had those, but it's rare for me. When I first started I phased into a corsair and decided to do a character reset and have had very little issues since. That and I've heard newer hardware helps as well.

Everyone gets too upset about it. Personally I payed $45 for it, and I feel like I got more than $45 worth of game out of it even if I feel like it's a total mess. I don't think it's a $500m, 15 year game, I guess, but to me it was a $45 game so it doesn't bother me.

It's a mess, but people are playing the new COD and that's a mess too. Maybe it's because I've only been playing for 8 months, but I find it super enjoyable.
