Despite the game’s complexity and ongoing development, they find it to be a cool experience but acknowledge that it may not be suitable for everyone.
In this video, the creator decides to try out Star Citizen for the first time, due to comparisons with the upcoming game Starfield. They navigate the difficult process of purchasing the game, encountering confusing options such as insurance packages and paint choices. They also explore the complicated purchase process, with the game still being in development and the need for a game package to actually download the game.
Once they finally manage to download the game, they create their character and select their starting location in the Stanton system. They face some technical issues with choppiness and adjust the graphics settings accordingly. They then embark on a mission to pick up a package from another planet, navigating the spaceport and finding their ship.
The creator struggles with finding their ship within the spaceport and attempts to ask for help, encountering other players and engaging in brief interactions. Eventually, they locate their ship and take off into space, successfully quantum travelling to the destination planet. However, they lose their mission objective and decide to explore the game further by visiting locations like the Galleria area, purchasing clothing and weapons.
Finally, in an attempt to engage in combat, they accept a contract to help another player in space. They engage in a space battle but ultimately end up getting killed. Despite the game’s complexity and clunkiness, the creator admits that it is a cool experience, although it may not be suitable for everyone due to its steep learning curve and ongoing development process.
