They will absolutely release a glitchy game, and blame the workers when gamers go nuts and start sending death threats because Generic Genre Game #281 sucks.

Sooo star citizen is gta/mass effect/no mans sky lol man at least those released even if some like no mans sky were hot garbage on release but I think the devs have done a decent job making it better

That may have been the most accurate and hilarious 5 Second Review yet. I'm 40 and remember playing a LOT of Battle Toads as a kid. Like you, I remembered it being hard, but my god, I was not prepared for how hard it really is. I've been playing too many games on "Normal". Haha.

I’m starting to feel bad for people who invest in star citizen cause this is looking like they may never get a game or there money back.

You know that saying 'A fool and his money are soon parted' well that's people who invest in Star Citizen.
