I'm curious, because as an outsider I understand that this game has been available to play for it's backers for years now: Is this game at a point where players are enjoying to some extent what they're playing?

I'm sure a lot of the positivity (or lack thereof) is around what is expected down the pipeline, but how would Star Citizen "review" now, as a product?

I ask because games often have this long life cycle in a pre-final stage where they might as well be final games available for sale since they're being sold and tons of people are playing it and giving it money.

It looks like as more promises have been layered on, player expectations have changed but does anyone know who hasn't been enmeshed in that community...would that game as it is today be at least okay, or is it still all future expectations with little current enjoyment?

Buddy, pal, friendo...I can't even get a PS5 or Series X is I want to yet. I don't even know what I'm getting with the consoles we have now.

The entire time I've owned my PS4 I haven't purchased a physical game once.

I got a Switch in 2020 and have only purchased physical games for it.

I stopped paying attention to the rest of the world in regards to covid by the beginning of 2021 but at least in NA we are still in the middle of omicron and stories of packed hospitals are very much a thing.

Cars. Motorcycles are cool but often in games with both, you're hitting things (even driving through obstacles like light poles) that cause you to fly off your bike. If that isn't an issue, the leaning to turn still feels a little less immediate than driving a car in most examples I can think of.

I am on a stock alert website that sends me emails and I've basically never seen the PS5 available but the Series X has come up a few times. I've missed it each time. I was Xbox 360 --> PS4, and that this point I don't care which one I choose next. I will never buy something from a scalper and I'm not willing to invest too much time in trying to track stuff down. Hopefully at some point before the end of 2022, if stuff can be in stock for at least 20-30 minutes I can order one.

I would be interested to see how many of either console has been sold/how many they're able to produce. At some point even if the supply chain is still hampering production efforts, enough millions will be sold to make the scalper market no longer interested.

God it would be hilarious if Frozen beat F&F on this website of all places

We never spoke directly, but good to know you're doing well! The forums are MUCH quieter than they were 10 years ago which explains your top #4 status.

Well let’s do a quick test.

My wife and I actually play a lot of Swith together in the evenings, because she doesn't like spending too much time just watching movies/TV. Switch games we can play together are a fairly narrow subset of games in the grand spectrum so I tend to play video by myself in the mornings. This has caused few direct issues since my wife work early in the mornings but there have been plenty of times where if I was doing something, or planning something else other than playing games during that time I would have avoided upsetting her. I'm trying to ensure I don't do that anymore and get stuff done in the mornings.
