I can't imagine why people have given this one star reviews. Or how they can be so confused on why this game has taken so long/so much funding to develop. CIG is developing completely new tech from the ground up in order to give us an unprecedented space exploration simulator. For $45 you can experience the basics of what they want to deliver (it's an alpha it will be buggy, there will be issues) or for $0 you can wait, and see what they come out with! The rest of us will work on mastering the game mechanics and having some of the best and funniest moments a game can bring you. It's worth noting that CIG is inventing a tech that completely prevents server crashes causing loss of progress in a massively multiplayer fps sim. & the same tech will allow you to jump between servers without a loading screen. You load into star citizen once, and you play until you close the game. The only waiting is for elevators, doors to open, and deliveries. If server performance is increased & large bugs resolved this game easily gets 5 stars

Short version, everyone giving low scores don't understand the principle of what Star Citizen is. They add extremely complicated tech they routinely have to create for themselves as it doesn't exist yet. You play Star Citizen to experience the mechanics and the vision they have for the verse. It's a complicated game with a huge future planned, It's unpolished because they constantly add new ground breaking mechanics, like object persistance. I personally look forward to the vision they have, and appreciate the effort they put in to make this dream come true.

I dont know what these people are going on about, the alpha (not beta because the other work is the single player content Squadron 42 with Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill and X files Gillian Anderson and more in Squadron 42), The Star Citizen multiplayer with different occupations other part of it, is much bigger and random? Other games take 10 years+ also when not a small 6 hour game, so what are they on about? Are they newbs?

Well, it's kind of fun to play right now. The graphics are beautiful, there's a decent amount of stuff to do, and at the cost of $45 or less during sales to get a paid account and play the game without any limits, it's really not a bad deal overall. Reports of this being a scam are nonsense. People are just annoyed that the game is taking forever - and will probably, really, take much longer still, to reach a final release stage. It is what it is. Definitely avoid if you're not OK with bugs and an early access model. If you can still enjoy it anyway despite major bugs and the early access model though, Star Citizen has genuine value with frequent updates, relatively transparent development, and a hell of a crazy amazing vision for what the finished product should be.

They have a transparent development process but they seem to have to little focus on core gameplay. The space ships still feel like flying a paper airplane and the gun gameplay is still very lacking. Hoping for improvements but it's not on the roadmap
