I tried to play Star Citizen so you don't have to

okay since everyone's been saying starfield looks a lot like star citizen and i've never played that game before i figured we should check it out okay so star citizen um okay it's not on steam star citizen what the hell is robert's space industries okay first person adventure well they spent a lot of money on this website okay uh play now okay for 45 i can get um three month insurance what does that even mean okay this looks cool but i'm just we're gonna go with the cheap option you know i might i might not even like it embark on an epic single player campaign digital access upon release so it's not out so it wants me to pay for something that's not out yet this is the most complicated purchase i've ever made for a video game do i want to add light and dark gray paint for three dollars no all right so buying this early access is not a purchase um because it's still in development okay but there's a road map what what is all of this what the is this oh my god so they've got plans out to march 2023 jesus okay now we can download the game okay you not i'm clicking start the download and i go to this page and it says i need to buy a game package on my account so i click get a game package and it brings me back to the same page or no it wants me to buy other things no i've already bought the starter pack okay if i go to my hanger and billing and subscription okay it says that i paid but the fulfillment is none and the payment is pending what is even going on okay i found this reddit thread from five years ago so it's a really long time ago but this person waited two hours from buying the game to actually being able to play it okay okay i guess i'll just i guess i'll just wait oh it's kind of cool um you can spend 1 100 for this pack you get six ships oh thank god it's in stock oh and luckily this one contains lifetime insurance you know you're gonna need that insurance okay just out of sheer curiosity i went to check my bank account and it has charged it it's still pending because it's a recent purchase but usually that means you can like download what you bought it can take up to 24 hours to process your payment all right so it only took about 30 minutes honestly not that bad but it's still funny now i can download star citizen okay let's let's sign in to the galactic network all right it's time to become a star citizen to unlock your friends list

it's kind of like uber it's time to go kill those bastards we're getting our spooling system ready we're sorry we're spooling for the quantum drive you know it's probably a horrible idea but i kind of want to see what would happen if you quantum drove just like straight into an asteroid be kind of cool okay we made it to the mining claim okay now we need to go down here or we didn't make it to the mining claim we made it kind of close okay oh god oh god we went fast we went past here we are on the mining claim what's the what what am i looking for what am i missing okay apparently this uh this

uh-oh dodge the missile uh okay so i died by fatal impact cool medical care no injuries that's that's great can i leave yeah let me leave oh i'm actually in a gown [Music] when got myself killed in the star citizen all right guys well um as you can tell this game is really complex and i don't think it really teaches you how to do a lot of stuff i just had to like look up a lot of stuff but i won't deny that it's actually pretty cool um although i don't know how many people have patience for a game like this it's it's very clunky and uh yeah for something that's been worked on for 10 years it feels like maybe there should be more here by this point maybe and uh yeah i'm glad i played this because now i can compare it to starfield but i i still don't even feel like i haven't scratched the surface on this thing it's crazy thank you guys for watching if you enjoyed this video let me know by clicking the like button subscribing to the channel clicking the bell so you don't miss my

"Everyone's just trying to sell me a ship!"

[u/Nrgte]

And of course the comment section is filled with fanboys.

The opening made me think the title could’ve been called “I tried to pay for Star Citizen so you don’t have to”.

[u/Patate_Cuite]

It's interesting to notice that even in the space of big youtubers who get curious enough to try the demo we can observe a split between super shills (half of them being paid by CIG or one of their affiliates) and people who immediately see there's a big problem. The demo is so polarizing I wonder why because usually in gaming a consensus in the larger gaming community is usually found rapidly especially amongst youtubers. Or am I wrong?

[u/boolybooly]

Very upbeat and makes light of the bugs which in reality make the "game"/demo unplayable.

Most telling comment at 20:12 - "for something that's been worked on for ten years it feels like maybe there should be more here"

This would be a generous treatment for producers who were really trying to make a game but someone should tell him its been jank for 10 years and CI have just left it like this all that time.

Considering which its not good to cut CI even more slack, because they are not worthy, is like aiding and abetting a robbery.

I'll leave that to grumpyeye to play and give me the down low so I don't have to.

[u/AtlasWriggled]

Best way to become a 'hater' is to play Star Citizen while in possession of an actual objective and functioning brain.

Logs in, crazy stutters, sets to "medium" settings for his RTX 3080. Such fidelity.
