The first time I heard of the game was a few months ago. The first time I looked into the game was a few days ago. Apparently there is a $48,000 DLC for ballers. Everyone on YouTube is outraged by this but I figure the game must be pretty compelling for rich people to drop so much $$$ on it.

It looks like the first truly next gen game. You can land on full sized planets and travel between planets and there are no load
screens.

Criticism of the game also seems fair. It has been in the works since 2013 and the game is still in alpha. The full game won't likely be released for another five or six years. Although this only makes me like the devs more since they are unwilling to compromise on their grand vision.

I'm as excited about this game as I am for Tamriel Rebuilt. If I live another five years, I will buy a gaming computer to play this game.

What do you guys think? I'm sure some of you have known about this game a lot longer than I have.

Tamriel Rebuilt progresses at a glacial pace. It's entirely free and what's released varies from good to excellent. I don't know that it'll ever be done but they have been progressing more in recent years and seem to have a good team together.

Star Citizen will end up hitting a billion dollars of crowdfunding at some point, but is little more than a ship storefront. If you think of it as a live service game it makes more sense. The endless cycle of "updates" will continue forever because the main purpose is to convince enough idiots that they should be buying $500 ships.

How does Tamriel Rebuilt run on your PC? Are there ever FPS drops in large cities?

You get some pretty big FPS drops in a couple of the cities but overall it runs fine. Most of the major optimization mods work with it
