I've been following Star Citizen loosely since the first day the original crowdfunding campaign was launched, but I never backed it. The reason is this: at the time, it looked impossibly ambitious. Budget an order of magnitude larger than others, studio without a history, and too many promises of really ambitious game mechanics wrapped into a single package. I think you can't really blame anyone for smelling another Peter Molyneux style story brewing. Since then, I've spent time watching and the main problem is the same one I had with games like Destiny 2 at launch or Elite: Dangerous (played both, wish I had waited two more years). There's a kernel of fun in there, but that's where it ends, and there are plenty of other games out there that have both the kernel of fun and a fleshed out execution. Star Citizen doesn't look bad, it just looks incomplete against its ridiculous ambitions, and I'm lumping this in among games that will probably become complete a few iterations after release. I would much rather have the game as promised, but I've seen this pattern too many times before and there are too many other great games in the meantime for me to hold my breath for it.
