do you like a game that you can bury
yourself in a game that walks the line
of realism and immersion so well that
you completely and utterly lose yourself
in its Universe do you like the thought
of exploring space and knowing no matter
how much you explore there will always
be more out there would you like to have
the choice to play your game alone with
friends or with strangers kind of like
an MMO you you excellent we're one in
the same you and
[Music]
andai here are the 15 reasons why you
should shut off the chains of this world
to explore the boundless Frontier of
space and the upcoming simulator Star

Citizen it's an understatement when I
say that Star Citizen is a came a lot of
Gamers seemed to give a damn about when
Star Citizen was looking for funding it
was turned down by the major Publishers
but funding via their website and
Kickstarter brought this game into
reality as a matter of fact it's Gamers
like you that made Star Citizen the
number one crowdfunded game project ever
with over $4.2 million raised on
Kickstarter alone that was
210% of the Project's original goal
today a our citizen has been backed by
more than a 100,000 Gamers with over $7
million raised and Counting it's about
time for another good space Sim wouldn't
you say that the most important thing
about a game is the person who makes it
Chris Roberts is the guy who made all of
these games each epic in their own right
space sims is what made Roberts a gaming
a legend so what did this God amongst
Gamers do with this gift he quit or
rather he took a break to make some
movies but now he's back and he's ready
to make us another spectacular title
make no mistake I've read this guy's
Wikipedia page so I know for a fact this
game is in good
[Music]
hands this game is first and foremost
about immersion and rightly so being a
space emulator Above All Star Citizen
aims to make you feel like a space pilot
it when you're sitting in the cockpit of
your Starship You Are Meant to feel a
deep sense of realism whether you're
pitching left or firing your turrets
your virtual hands will mimic your every
move how easy it is for me to put myself
in the shoes of my character has always
been important to me in video games so
watching gameplay footage like this yeah
it makes me all
wet one of my buddies tell me that
playing video games for a its Graphics
is like watching porn for its storyline
it's true good graphics aren't the most
important thing about a game but that
doesn't mean I don't want them hear me
when I say Star Citizen does not have
good graphics Star Citizen has amazing
Graphics I'm sorry consoles but you've
been holding technology back for far too
long PCS sit on the throne of innovation
don't mistake what I'm saying here for
opinion this is fact plain and simple
Chris Roberts has that special place in
my heart because he doesn't only
recognize this but he builds his game
around it star citizens level of detail
has been described as 10 times the
amount found in today's AAA titles
Pilots Fighters and cruisers look good
and it has everything to do with the
fact that they are rendered in 10 times
the amount of polygons it's like the
difference between glasses and no
glasses standard definition and high
death all this on the Cry 3 engine what
you might recognize from these visual
masterpieces physics aren't often cited
as a reason to be excited for anything
so bear with me I'll try to make it
sound interesting Sir Isaac Newton is
the deadliest son of a in space
Sir Isaac Newton himself would play this
game that's because in this game Mass
force and energy all have real effects
on how your ship hurs itself through
space your ships are equipped with
thrusters and engines and all are linked
to a computer that helps the pilot
navigate through space you can enjoy the
realism as you see these thrusters
rotate and engines Roar as they produce
yaw pitch and roll these realistic
flight physics will no doubt add an
extra layer of authenticity I very much
like
authenticity whenever a game comes along
that offers a true range of scale I
applaud them so many games nowadays take
the easy way out and give you these
awesome Vistas and massive structures
that really are only good to look at you
can't really go to those places or stand
on those structures it's cardboard
counterfeits Star Citizen recognizes
their game won't survive with such cheap
tricks I'm not just looking at a 1 km
long carrier I get to get out and walk
around on this thing I can run the
length of a hanger I can stand on the
bridge and everything is proportioned to
my 1.8 m tall little dude if that's not
good enough we promised all this with
not a single load screen in between
behold ladies and gentlemen the power of
[Music]
PC while Star Citizen does feature a
single player campaign it also boasts a
Cooperative mode where you can fly
alongside friends and explore the Galaxy
together I can even fly a battle cruiser
and and have a group of friends Manning
the turrets Shields and engines helping
me live out my Star Trek fantasies make
it so number one on top of all this Star
Citizen will host a server of their own
that everyone can join so whether you're
the space explorer that would rather
have that alone or the PVP junkie such
as myself that would like nothing better
than to test their resolve in massive
Space Battles there's something here for
everyone nothing says No Boundaries like
a sandbox game well except for maybe
space there are those of us who love
exploration and few titles manage to do
it right if star citizens simulate space
shouldn't it be boundless shouldn't it
reward exploration in a meaningful way
while it aims to do just that for
example some of you will find your
fortune in the stars by stumbling across
a large asteroid field full of precious
metals map the location and sell it on
the market those of you who have played
EV online know EX exactly how this
system works charting black holes and
investigating anomalies in space it's
freaking fun what's the point in having
a Sandbox if you can't affect meaningful
change it'd be like telling a kid in a
literal sandbox that he can't build a
sand castle everyone wants to feel like
what they do matters in a game however
so many multiplayer games fail utterly
at this I'm sure many of you have played
an MMO where the developers try and make
you believe you've made an impact on the
world when really you've only done the
same thing a thousand people have done
already and a thousand more will do
after you're gone it's this fake persona
of importance that really just makes me
sick don't insult my intelligence give
me meaningful ways to leave my mark on
this virtual world or let me be on my
way Star Citizen has a rare opportunity
since they are dealing with the vastness
of space and they're looking to embrace
it as a traveler of the Stars if you
discover a new system and no one has
journeyed to before you become a
permanent part of the Star Citizen
Universe you will get to name that
system after yourself talk about
incentive for exploration my only
concern is the guy whose Avatar name is
something like love zus will we go
probing in the Love's anus system Chris
please have something in place to
prevent this do you want to know what
really pisses me off pisses me off about
subscription-based
MMOs they make you pay $15 a month with
a promise of new content now you'd think
the millions of dollars backing MMOs
like wow they'd be able to afford to
hire a big enough team to release
content not every couple of months but
every freaking week this blatant price
gouging pisses me off and it should piss
you off let me make it clear now Star
Citizen does not have a subscription fee
not only does it not have a subscription
fee but the developers will be adding
content via micro updates not every few
months but every week or two just like
real space Star Citizen will see an ever
expanding
Cosmos speaking of expansion I've always
been a fan of the modding Community
nothing extends the life of a video game
quite like nurturing a healthy modding
Community just take a look at your game
shell for examples Fallout 3 morrowwind
Team Fortress 2
they all Thrive and live well beyond
their years because of the power of mods
seriously guys where would we be without
Skyrim's nude bonds we'd all be forced
to get those real girlfriends I've been
hearing so much about Chris Roberts has
made it clear that he will be promoting
the modding Community with more than
just tools he talks about giving modders
the opportunity to even host their own
private servers to use as a kind of
playground in addition if a mod has what
it takes to be a part of the main server
and the universe like say someone
designs a kick-ass ship it will be
implemented and available for purchase
by the public not only that but the
modder will receive the rewards giving
them incentive I can't wait to see the
modding Community grow around this game
and I look forward to supporting
them yes by God I
do
the signature of a nonlinear game is
Choice the freedom to be who you want to
be and more importantly kill who you
want to kill Star Citizen looks to put
fate in your own hands by not forcing
you into a one siiz fits-all mentality
this can be most readily seen in how
they are approaching character
customization remember that single
player campaign I previously mentioned
Apparently that is a military campaign
that is completely optional if the
military life doesn't suit your play
style maybe the life of an Explorer or
businessman sounds more to your liking
or maybe you're a scumbag like me whose
sci-fi fantasy is leading a band of
Renegades against mining operations for
easy credits decide on the man you want
to be now because in Star Citizen
anything goes if Borderlands is a game
for gun porn then Star Citizen is a game
for porn from what I've seen ship
customization in Star Citizen is
elaborate to say the least a ton of a
attention has been given to the
different loadouts that you can choose
for your ship making Your spacefaring
Vessel truly unique will you be looking
to make an honest living in the stars
make a properly modified mining vessel
with a large cargo holds and Powerful
engines I for one look forward to
plundering you in a fast ship that can
pack a quick punch and get away with the
booty I like booty so you've played
Space Games before you got your hole you
got your Shields if both hit zero it's
all
like came from
behind you poor poor fool you thought I
was going to be able to make to the end
without a Star Wars reference in the
past space combat was made shallow with
a generic hole and shield meters Star
Citizen preaches realism and it reflects
in the way your ship takes damage taking
a hit from an enemy turret will have
serious consequences should one of your
thrusters take a direct hit your
maneuver ability will be compromised
imagine for a second the extra layer of
authenticity this will bring to combat
just like real nautical vessels Space
Battles will be fought in one by the
Strategic planners rather than the
biggest guns positioning yourself
correctly in a combat situation will
help protect vital systems and will keep
you in the fight longer or in the case
of the miner or hauler help you get away
quicker this excites me because I enjoy
the game that doesn't boil down to
simple numbers and Firepower this
excites me for the same reason I choose
Battlefield games over Call of Duty more
often than not the Victor isn't chosen
by the guy with the quickest reflexes or
the biggest guns but by The Thinker the
planner the military
strategist thus we arrive at reason
number 15 in a category all its own sure
I could have put under realism but I
thought it deserved its own category
Oculus Rift integration for those who
aren't familiar virtual reality imagine
sitting there and turning your head
about in a fully rendered cockpit Star
Citizen has backed and supported the
Oculus Rift the premier virtual reality
platform that is said by many to be the
future of the gaming industry although
the Oculus Rift has yet to hit the
consumer Market when it does I look
forward to throwing my money at it to
exper experience my lifelong dream of
virtual reality gaming and I'm glad to
know I'll be putting it to good use in a
proper space simulator like Star
Citizen ladies mostly gentlemen are you
horny for Star Citizen I know I am the
more I look at this game the more I
realize it might well be the game that
revives this beloved genre a space
simulator that you can experience on a
realistic and engaging level a game that
you can lose yourself in I hope I've
been able to offer you some insight on
this upcoming title if you're hyped for
this game like me be sure and share it
with your friends I he space gets lonely
if you liked this video format be sure
to like and more importantly subscribe
for more I've been Josh this has been
the shoty cast we'll catch you
