Star citizen should not have went after great graphics and instead focused on its scope. Unless they can gain another 50mil or so from crowdfunding or a company funds them the game will never be completed. No mans sky had the right idea visually.

Yea, I just hope they're still in time to change their course and deliver the game. Another game that started development roughly in the same period, Hawken, and that had a troubled and long way, even losing its original publisher, found another one and it looks like it could be in the last stages of Steam Early Access phase, so maybe there's still hope for Star Citizen too, but Roberts should stop NOW frantically adding stuff that risks delaying launch forever or at least postpone it until after launch: if they'll finally manage to launch the game, they still can expand the game universe and add missions, campaigns, new ships, etc. later, just like Bethesda successfully did with Fallout 3 and almost the whole The Elder Scrolls series and it's still doing with Fallout 4.

To be honest I could say the same for the Ark devs, those guys keep adding so much stuff in the game with constant patches landing nearly every day and yet the game still hasn't had it's heavy crunch period for optimization, the last few weeks before release aren't going to iron out all they have added in and those guys didn't have SC's level of funding. 

As long as devs keep their time allocated and act on it then they can make a good game whether it be boasting good or bad visuals.

Also if SC never went for graphics then we would very easily be seeing the constant rigmarole of "PC has no good graffix games" arguments all the time.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
