PC for Star Citizen

Wouldnt bother, surely there's another game you want to play? Elite Dangerous maybe? They seem to be competent with their development updates.

Hahaha. You're trolling right?
Frontier have been consistently missmanaging game balance for years. Everything is a massive grind, there's no depth to the game and any time they accidently make something enjoyable and worthwhile it's nerfed into the ground. I hear there's been some better updates in recent weeks, but I've not checked them, even if they're suddenly doing things right they've got a long way to go before they can be called competent!

Sure SC has it's many flaws but the devs have shown far more progress in developing the game than Frontier have with Elite for the past few years imo.

With elite everything players wanted is in next year. Atmosphere, walking being the main two.

With star citizen people are still waiting to play the actual gameplay loop and will continue to do so for years.

So yes if I was building a pc for space sim in 2020/2021 I would be speccing for elite not star citizen.

Not convinced they're adding "everything" players wanted to the game. Atmospheres will be cool if done well, but I've seen very few people genuinely excited about the fps element of Elite, I fully expect it to play like a complete afterthought. I'd love to be proved wrong there however.

Essentially at the time of writing, Elite is still missing lots of gameplay, just like Star Citizen! Both games feel like you are running around a half finished sandbox with a lot of potential right now. CIG have atleast released updates to Star Citizen this year that have added/improved the gameplay loops that currently exist ingame. I'm not sure Frontier have managed that yet as they've been keeping it all behind the scenes as part of the new expansion. From what I've heard you still will only be able to have a party of up to 4, either in 4 separate ships, or all in one - unable to switch around. It will be interesting to see how the expansion pans out once it is out.
