The speaker expresses their disappointment with the current state of Star Citizen, noting the lack of activities, technical difficulties, and stagnant progress. They also mention the absence of other streamers, indicating a general lack of interest in the game.
The speaker begins by mentioning that Star Citizen feels dead these days, as they are starting a live stream and notice that none of their friends are online. They attribute this lack of activity to the fact that there isn’t much to do in the game currently. The recent completion of the Siege of Orizon means that there is limited PvP action, and while cargo gameplay and bounty hunting offer some options, they can become repetitive and boring after a while. Additionally, technical difficulties such as crashes to desktop and missions not updating add to the frustration.
The speaker notes that they have been trying to boost their reputation with Crusader security but have been stuck with little progress. They mention that other streamers, including Captain Richard and Zero State, are also not streaming Star Citizen at the moment, indicating a general lack of interest in the game. The speaker acknowledges that it is currently January and developers are likely planning for the rest of the year, and there have been some PTU patches, but they are unsure if these will address the issues they are experiencing.
The speaker concludes that the current state of Star Citizen is grim and not very exciting, unless one is playing with a group and has clear objectives. They mention that only the most passionate players are likely to stick around during these difficult times. They also note that new players may find some enjoyment in the Zero to Hero progression, but even that can become boring once they reach the hero status. The speaker expresses a desire to take a break from the game but mentions that they don’t have any other games to play at the moment.
In summary, the speaker believes that Star Citizen feels dead due to the lack of things to do, technical difficulties, and the frustration of stagnant progress. They mention the absence of other streamers and conclude that the game is currently in a difficult state.
