EP 220 - Star Citizen Finally Introduces Dungeons in 4.3 (Ft. TheAstroHistorian)

As a gamer who comes from the likes up KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Deus Ex for my sci-fi fix in gaming, RPGs have a special place in my heart. So a new space RPG has all of my attention. The sci-fi game genre has been struggling for quite some time, creating the chance for something new to tentpole the genre. Will Starfield be that mainstream, quality space game the industry has been waiting for? Today, I’m joined by The Astro Historian to discuss everything we saw in the Starfield showcase in June and give our thoughts on who might enjoy the game.

Star Citizen has a lot of things going for it, in my opinion, but it’d be pure denial to say there aren’t some crucial ways the game could improve for its players.  Today’s Guests: The Yamiks Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo6p2NdDfoUvH2Iw3O3ipPg  Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheYamiks Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvpiPXCO7OVJOlBIclW9tbpb2g29gur3I Support This Podcast: Patreon Paypal Ko-Fi Follow Space Tomato on social media: Website  Youtube  My Other Youtube   Instagram  Twitter  Facebook  Discord

As is tradition, the final weeks of May have revealed new ships and possible new plans for Star Citizen as a whole. But the new ships this year tell a slightly different story than before.

Welcome to the Launch Sequence episode 100, it’s a long time coming, but I couldn’t be more proud of it. I hope you enjoy it! 8 different interviews were conducted over the last few weeks to understand the thought process of people covering Star Citizen after the most turbulent update in the game’s history. With so many questions about the priorities of the game, who the game is currently being made for, and if it’s even worth playing right now, I couldn’t just get the answer of 1 or 2 people!  Today's Guests: TheSpace Coder Twitch:https://www.twitch.tv/thespacecoder YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thespacecoder Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheSpaceCoder1  Morphologis Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/morphologis YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Morphologis Twitter: https://twitter.com/Morphologis  Tree0311 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tree0311 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tree0311 Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tree0311_SC  Nazeris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NovaforgeEngineering Croncy Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/croncy YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Croncy Twitter: https://twitter.com/Croncy1  TheAstroHistorian Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theastropub YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAstroPubLive YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAstroHistorian Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheAstroPub  Jorunn Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/jorunnsc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StarCitizenJorunn Twitter: https://twitter.com/Jorunn_SC  SaltEMike Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/saltemike YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SaltEMike YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saltemikereacts Twitter: https://twitter.com/SaltEMike  Audio Podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/launchsequence Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvpiPXCO7OVJOlBIclW9tbpb2g29gur3I Support This Podcast: Patreon Paypal Ko-Fi Follow Space Tomato on social media: Website  Youtube  My Other Youtube   Instagram  Twitter  Facebook  Discord

Over the last couple of years, there has been a noticeable shift of players from Elite Dangerous to Star Citizen. Being a very similar genre of game, this sort of switch makes sense, but I wanted to get a first-hand account of why exactly it was happening. This week, Elite Dangerous Youtubers Yamiks & Down To Earth Astronomy join me to discuss the case of the Elite Dangerous refugees.

From the founding of Hurston Dynamics, to the current state of politics, Star Citizen is a pretty dark game when you consider all the lore involved. But why don’t we get to learn that through the game? In this pre-100 special, I’m joined by TheAstroPub to discuss how lore in Star Citizen is making a bigger impact with new features and factions coming, and how such a dark and dystopian game will continue to immerse players in its fiction.
