The first time I heard about Star Citizen and S42, I was a teen and wasn't able to save up enough allowance to buy even the cheapest ship/the game.

Now I'm looking to build a house with the love of my life.

I'll probably have grandkids by the time this actually comes out. I have zero interest left.

I liked the comment on a YouTube talking about this game saying when it finally releases people will be playing with ships they've inherited from their parents

You mean one can play ships from Star Citizen in Squadron 42? Otherwise, how would the parents have ships already playing the game, if its not released. I'm a bit confused about what is meant here.

Welcome to modern video games, people have been waiting even longer for GTA VI

Star Citizen has been in development since before both GTA V and goddamn Skyrim released

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They literally both started 2014

The SC kickstarter was 2012, but it started development in 2010

I don't think it's fair to call that the same game considering it got put in the bin and started over, whilst they are also building a second game first

Last year I developed a neuropathy severely limiting my motor control and more or less ending my ability to play games. I've had other issues going on and it is unlikely I will be around to watch my son play them. So I have started getting my accounts set up for my family to take when I die.

S42 took so long I'm actually willing it to my child... Lol, fkn got me.
