Star Citizen

To be fair, even though I have grown to dislike Elite Dangerous, they did make their game with a heck of a lot less money at their disposal.

Make sure you check out the Starfarer (you need to use the revel & york hangar and go into the middle end of it) the while you can btw. It gives you an idea of where the game is going

To be even fairer, their budget has nothing to do with being unable or unwilling to add a simple pilot-model into the empty ships cockpits. Look at the rest of the game, it looks great, can't deny that.
But hell... not even a pilot? That's sad.
Back then I was convinced that's just a typical alpha issue/oversight, but look where the game is now. It even had a (severely expensive) DLC and still... nothing (except grindy grind grind without any real content).

Elite just has no soul, never had one. Unfortunately.
Now look at what SC already delivers. The fluent transitions from space to planets, with atmospheres, unlike Elite, is totally blowing my mind.

This title is truly ground breaking and ahead of its time. Sure, the crazy amount of funding had a big say in that, but even as a well versed gamer the results baffle me.

I am almost afraid that game will destroy many lives once it is released.

Don't get me started on Elite there is a separate thread for that. Or just read my review http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7...mmended/359320

Fundamentally I think the problem is David Braben's ego, and limited funds.

But... do you really think the missing pilots in the cockpits are due to lack of funds?
Well, not important in the end. He got out money, that's what matters.

Ya, till the next project when people remember the last one.
