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. 

I need only look at TLG and FF XV to know that other studios much bigger with lots more money have also bitten off more than they could chew for a very long time in the gaming world. 

True, it happens all the time, but at least those are not crowdfund games. I mean they have raised nearly $100m for Star Citizen and there is a big chance that the game never even gets a release. They keep adding new ships that people can spend a fortune on and add insane features (a whole alien language.. I mean, come on..) yet they are forgetting to build a game to put them in. 

Anyways, if we are talking about why UC4 is the most impressive game when it comes to the overal visual package, Star Citizen is really not the game people should mention to prove otherwise as the game is one big incoherent mess. Someone asked what we should compare Star Citizen with, is it a MMO, space sim, FPS? Fact is, we don't fucking know because its trying to do everything and that's the problem.
