Yeah.. I guess you're right. It says on the first page, "it's more than an MMO."

What am I kinding, I'll just file that as an MMO, with a single player campaign.

 

compering these two type of games does not make a good case IMO.

Dismissing it as just an MMO doesn't do a solid favor either tbh. Even with one who has his own rig. You were corrected and should have taken it as such but instead you went "eh it's an MMO anyway so lets just not compare becauseI got corrected". Both games have their multiplayer portions, one just happens to give it's MP focus a bit more "breathing room" than the other while both have their SP. 

I've also noticed how we're dismissing SC before it's out and yet with a load of PS4 games that aren't even past demo stages do we roll with whatever they show and hold it to the candle, I don't think that is fair in any way, especially when one is being worked on by someone who has a passion for what they want to bring to their fans who directly funded their game to make it possible versus a studio that is paid by a very large company that has been around for 70 years. At least acknowledge that a lot of you on here hype your fave games before they are out and judging other games on other plats that aren't even out yet because that's what we're getting right here and now. You could argue "wait till it;s out" but I know that routine by now to know that those who dismiss SC now will dismiss it once it's out regardles.

What would you compare SC to anyway, WoW, FFXIV? (Because you're rolling with it being strictly filed as an MMO), something easy to compare to and then easily dismiss?.

Of course there are tons of console games that get delayed all the time and sometimes even canned, but Star Citizen is a bit of a different animal though. The game is practially the Water World of video games. It all does sound fantastic but to me it also sounds like the developers bite off more than they can chew with the game. SC was announced in 2012 and people have been spending a fortune on "modules" and fundraising the crap out of it, while it's still unclear when and if it will ever get released. 

We will have to see, of course, but at the moment it's a buggy mess, the FPS part module got canned, and I can totally understand that people are pissed and are asking for their money back.
