    Hold on, I’m not familiar with Star citizen, but do you have to spend real money to get ships in this game?

    The MISC Hull C added with the Alpha 3.20 update costs an eye-watering $500

        I’m just super curious at to what $600m would get me. Maybe suckering people into paying for it out of curiousity was their genius business plan along though.

          That’s the cost of about three typical AAA games. Genshin Impact’s costs up to around its second year of development is also about that much.

    Playing starfield vindicated the development of Star Citizen. I eventually stopped playing sf after 30 hours to go back to sc because I feel more enjoyment in the immersion given to me.

      “Immersion” when every NPC stands around doing nothing in a t-pose and some of them sit half in the ground.

      Not really sure where you got immersion from. The entire city is also just a prop on planets you can’t really interact with (except the space port part).

      I’ve felt more immersed in Cyberpunk.

        To be fair, starfield NPCs see through walls, and stare into your soul at all times.

        Lets not pretend the bar is high in either game when it comes to NPCs.

            They also t-pose, just not often. And sometimes they vibrate, before hovering into the air? Idk the NPCs in Starfield are weird as fuck sometimes. It just felt like a hilarious thing for them to choose when the meandering NPCs aren’t really the focus of either game, but less so SC.
