don't judge until you've seen the dynamic cloth physics! that is what everyone wants, right?

I actually will only play a game with realistic sweat and tears. Oh, they are hard at work on that?! Well FINALLY, I'm SO fucking glad. Thank you SO much, Robert's Space Industries. You guys are definitely NOT complete hacks.

I paid for star citizen a decade ago and honestly enjoyed it enough for about 2 days. It always felt exciting to see how ahead they were of early Xbox 1 / PS4 games in their scope with volumetric effects etc.

The trouble is, 90% of their innovative content has been long overtook by general game progression, they're making a game that could have probably launched with the PS5 and been innovative and are already falling behind there. I genuinely believe that they were Innovating their game slowly over time and there were amazing things in the works, but they missed the moment that it was exciting and new by so many years.
