FF to 59:55.
I only watched a minute of the clip - and have never seen this podcast before - but judging by the title it seems to be dedicated to Star Citizen. Can that be right? It is 200 minutes long! Nearly 3.5 hours! Is it all about Star Citizen?
If so, all I can say is: These sad boys don't have lives!
That clip is hilarious.
But, yes, there are loads of dull discussion videos on Youtube about Star Citizen. The problem Chris Roberts has is that he's created a hype train, even greater that NMS, where he has promised the world to the fans (quite literally, they're still on about procedurally generated cities on planets). We're in the situation where the scope of SC is so huge, everyone just imagines what they'd want to do in their perfect space sim and when they check the list of features then inevitably parts of that dream are on the list. Which is why you can have 3hr discussion videos all about the non existent game mechanics, lore and development - all dreaming about what the game could be like. The problem is that, if it is made, it will NEVER live up to any of these over hyped expectations, which is why CRoberts says it will always be in development. The promised features will always be added in a future patch, and if you just buy some more ships then they can make it better, always in the future, always just out of reach, but doing enough to make the whales think that it will work out in the end. That strategy has worked for CRoberts for years now, the only way the whales might lose faith is if they realise that CIG can't make even a limited 3.0 patch work. CitizenCon will be interesting this year.
