In the video, the host discusses several features of Star Citizen that have seemingly been forgotten or abandoned by Cloud Imperium Games (CIG). This trend of features being announced but later neglected is noted as a common occurrence in game development, where ideas are often shelved or canceled after initial excitement. The host emphasizes the importance of these features for both the game’s vision and player experience, highlighting a few specific examples that have not seen recent updates or progress.
The first feature mentioned is Actor Status 2.0, which aims to enhance the game’s survival mechanics by introducing elements like hygiene and the need for players to attend to their character’s basic needs, such as using a bathroom. Although CIG has previously indicated that this feature would significantly impact gameplay and NPC interactions, there has been little to no communication regarding its current status or development progress, leaving players in the dark.
Next, the video addresses the state of bounty hunting in Star Citizen, which the host criticizes for lacking depth and immersion. The current system is described as more akin to assassination rather than genuine bounty hunting, with players simply following markers to eliminate targets. The host expresses hope for a more engaging bounty hunting experience, where players would actively track targets through investigation and gather clues, ultimately leading to a more realistic and rewarding gameplay experience.
The discussion then shifts to passenger transport, a feature that the host is particularly passionate about. Although there was an early presentation showcasing how this profession could function within the game, there has been no further information from CIG regarding its implementation. The host laments the absence of this feature, especially since it seems unlikely to be included in the game’s official launch, and wishes for more transparency from the developers about its status.
Lastly, the video touches on the dynamic economy, which has not been seen in-game since its announcement. While CIG has mentioned it occasionally and claimed it is finished, players have yet to experience its functionality. The host expresses hope that with advancements in server technology, CIG will soon roll out updates regarding the dynamic economy and provide clarity on its implementation. The video concludes by inviting viewers to share their thoughts on other forgotten features and promoting a giveaway for subscribers.
