Star citizen. 2 minutes in and I turned it off in disgust. £200m seems to have been spent on making choosing how to invert your Y axis as complicated as possible.
There isn't an invert Y button, there are literally 50+ different toggles for inversion of everything, across all possible concurrent control schemes (mouse, joystick, keyboard, gamepad). Each of them is a compounded tree where you can select inversion for FPS mode, flight mode, hangar mode, turret mode, ground vehicle mode, free look mode, walking mode and some other modes. Select inversion for any of those modes and it inverts everything. X axis too... So you have to drill down into each and invert the Y axis for each mode individually, but it's not called Y axis, it's called pitch, or view, or something else dependent on the mode you are in. And you have to repeat the same exercise for each control method.
So I did all that, took ages, game crashed coming out of the control menu and starting it up again it has lost all the settings...
So I do it all again, get it setup right. Didn't crash this time! Start the game by going into my hangar... the x axis is inverted, even though I told it not to be...
Turned off the game and gave up, what a load of shit.
My third time of playing the game, once in 2015, once in 2018, once in 2020.
Current thoughts from tonight:
1) Performance is shockingly bad, and it looks like utter shit. Even running in 1080p mode on low I was getting major framerate issues just walking around. 1080p looked like 640x480 zoomed in.
2) The first person walking around will make you vomit, the dude is constantly moving and sliding around after you stop your input, it will cause motion sickness. I could feel myself starting literally within the first movement of the mouse.
3) It doesn't recognise the throttle control on my HOTAS and I can't make it see it.
4) I literally couldn't even find my ship in the main game, there is no indication of what to do or where to go to even find the hangar, and I had to stop wandering around aimlessly as it was making me seasick.
5) inverted mouse control also inverts the cursor when the cursor is on the screen... good job guys.
It doesn't seem to have progressed at all since I last tried it (and looking at my 2015 post, it looks to have gone backwards). I'm completely convinced that it is a scam.
