The better question is: will Star Citizen release/fold before Barkley 2? I say yes.

another reason to be excited about Star Citizen is that when it comes out, it will finally make everyone on earth admit that PC is the only real gaming platform, showing how much publishers have been holding back the true potential of PC gaming by catering to console fuckbois, and it will have a product lifetime which is measured in decades, not years* *all of these are actual backer expectations

kikkelivelho posted:How could I not be serious? We are, after all, discussing an IP that could be this generations Star Wars. A global phenomenon that will redefine scifi and space game conventions as we know them. I certainly wouldn't expect anything less from Chris, he did already revolutionize the space sim genre once with Wing Commander. There's been a lot of copycats since then but none have truly reached the perfect mixture of hollywood screenplay and adrenaline filled space combat that Chris is once again aiming for with Squadron 42.

so what can you do in hangar module that makes it "as good as any other game" I imagine its like a garage in a racing game except none of the cars or engine parts have been made yet edit: I'm guessing he means the two in conjunction i think?? It's hard to tell with these people what "gameplay" means

Gilganixon posted:that's a $120 jpg, did you get a refund or do you still consider it a good price for the inside look at the insanity and whatnot? It was $110 when I bought it. My purchase history is weird. I was an original backer so Goons would use me to "launder" ships so they could get a feature called lifetime insurance (a formerly limited benefit that pretty much anyone can get). During 2013 interest in SC exploded and I laundered more than $28,000 worth of starships. I got around $700 in "tips" for doing this and bought a bunch of ships on store credit. I also bought a few minor upgrades here and there and sold a ship for $300 to break even. I then became a subscriber for $10 a month. The main advantage for this was being able to directly ask Chris questions via his weekly show (I hold the record for most questions answered, which pisses off a bunch of spergs). I also still believed in the project at this point and appreciated supporting the efforts that communicated things to the community. Between subscriptions and various purchases I spent $600. Most of the purchases was small stuff. $5 here, $20 there, the charity skin, etc over a three year period. In October I got permabanned from the forums and I decided to sell off some more ships. I broke even again, and then CIG had a big military sale which killed the value of the ship's I had left so I figured I would wait. Then in December one of the guys I helped launder ships for got a refund and demanded that CIG return the gifted packages to their original owners. I got around $500 worth back. So the end result is that I have made back all my money, have all the benefits of being an original backer, and still have $1K "worth" of ships. Since my backer history is so complicated it's unlikely that I would have gotten anything refunded. I am still deciding what to do with the remaining packages. Most are locked to my account. Honestly had I just had the $110 package I likely would have not gotten a refund. I still expect CIG to deliver a product, and I have gotten more than my money's worth in entertainment. Breaking even thanks to selling stuff has just been gravy. I do not expect to ever give CIG more money based on how they are acting.

fuctifino posted:I must admit that I had doubts, but after seeing the brainchild Chris Roberts demonstrate his game before Xmas, all those doubts left. holy gently caress, I just now actually watched it. They never bothered to plug in the joystick and test it. And he couldn't figure out how to do it with kb+m. And the ship computer just started randomly saying contact scanning landing completed. And he couldn't even get the game to give him the ship he wanted and he had to figure out where his ship would land. I love how random rear end audio just starts playing over crob when the game locks up the computer for no reason. Like how are there even games that do that still? It's not fuckin' dos, I thought modern OSs kept everything compartmentalized so it wouldn't freeze the whole system or some poo poo. And it happened twice!

why would they have a separate window for chat they could have just put that in the shiny helmet hud, they already love overly fancy dodads on everything. Why couldn't he have had some rando employee find him and land so he could get into that guy's ship instead of walking around like a dumbass for half the time? This is a dumb game that looks like it would never be fun to play

fortunately taxes aren't an issue because you don't actually buy ships, you're making a donation, same as to like Red Cross

Is there still a lot of this wheeling and dealing going on or is the writing on the wall?

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:For a lot of people (myself included) there's a massive desire to be immersed in a sci-fi world similar to Star Wars, with starfighters and tramp freighters and players not just flying a ship but actually being inside them. Star Citizen looked to be closer to that experience than any other game, and the entire marketing campaign revolved around that. The joke about SC being full of dreams is fairly accurate, particularly with respect to ship sales. They weren't selling ships, they were selling roles. If this every turns out I want to join your crew, so long as we fight everything that we come across and kill as many people as possible

Gilganixon posted:to me this sounds like a good game, I couldn't care less about the space sim itself. Unfortunately, they've made a lot of changes to stymie that short of dealing. Things like ships only being transferable once, and also additional sales of "one time only sale super rare get it now or have to earn it in game when it launches" ships. Also they're starting to admit that they're going to keep selling ships after launch, something they formerly denied.
