First off, I would never spend that much on a game. Got a $70 starter pack. Nothing more than you would spend on a normal game. Can't blame cig for playing the monetization game. Either there's regulations that stops this shit or capitalism goes brr. That's the world we've built.
As for the game itself; when Star Citizen works there's nothing like it. A huge space battle followed by a tense zero g boarding action. Taking the cargo and salvage afterwards. Hell, just flying across a solar system and landing on a planet and getting out and walking around -- all without a load screen -- is something to be experienced.
To anyone reading this. If you're the type of person that has the resources and you buy games at ~50-70 price point, do it. Even with all the alpha bullshit. Even with all the easy echo chamber shit posts. There's some magic happening with SC.
Plenty of streamers if you're on the fence. Berks is good if you just want to catch a stream.
I'm a cheap starter too. Really enjoy the game for sure! It completely ruined Starfield for me... I was out of Starfield the first time I "flew" the spaceship... Loading screens... All of it... Star Citizen killed any joy in that game for me. Haha.
Ever tried Elite Dangerous?
No I haven't..
Give it a shot. It’s less polished in some aspects to SC, but there are so many different systems that they have still barely been explored, even after all these years. The flight is pretty damn good too.
