I would definitely watch a job swap show where Doob had to manage a $100m spaceships game while contending how much of the money to claim as salary, which Croberts is forced to run a hot dog slash automotive shack in the Deep South. I mean, who *wouldnt* watch that?

Star Citizen would somehow get released the next day, cost $100 a minute, and only have servers that work a different hour each day Doobie's Doghouse would close to do fundraising for 20 years, with Croberts endlessly milking the local townsfolk dry with greater promises. The Diner will have foie gras! An attached automotive shop! A waterpark! Why wouldn't it???

Blazing Ownager posted:Notably I am basing this again off interviews with the various development teams, because there's always a question about what it was like to work with Chris Roberts, and they explained they only saw him once every few months because he was doing other things to get a "blessing," basically. I'm paraphrasing but this was an interview from like 1994-1998ish that pretty much confirmed it. (Not actually) coincidentally, Strike Commander was poo poo. It sim aspects were horrible and the movie part was duller than dish water. In trying to push more for the former, it instantly lost the approachability of the WC series because it just became needlessly complicated, but it still was very simplistic so it didn't really appeal to actual flight sim people. All this as opposed to the user-friendly and audience-aware WC2, which remains a worth-while nostalgia game.

So does WC2 still hold up at all? I played the poo poo out of that in middle school to the point my joystick broke.

Space simulators are just flight sims for people too dumb to grasp real wolrd physics, and Star Citizen's sales performance is a proof of that.

It's still something you have to approach with a clear mindset that it's a nostalgia trip, but if you managed to maintain that then yes, it's fine.

Then again, the thread in Games occasionally get invaded by some new starry-eyed citizen desperate to defend his dream game. It's pretty glorious. Also, it is consistently trolled by Lowtax and Derek Smart, so there's that too.

I'm cracking this case wide open and it's a big one. Here are my notes so far: Startrek -> pedophiles Star citizens -> pedophiles starships -> pedophiles? space -> pedophiles? (investigate starships and space!!!!!!!)

MeLKoR posted:And the best part is that when you dig past the zealots what you find is a community of the carest-of-all-bears that rant incessantly about how "non-conventional PvP is pretty much like rape" and "all griefers should be banned" for a definition of "griefer" as "anyone that dares shoot at me". Then there are the guys that spent thousands of dollars and now want the game to reward new players with the equivalent of 50 cents per hour for manning the turrets in the whale's ships and serving them drinks ingame so that they are literally trapped in wage slavery and can never afford their own ships. I am not exaggerating in any way.. This makes perfect sense, if they were even semi-compenent at PvP or charismatic Star Citizen backers could get the experience they are after playing EVE Online. They want to buy the experience of being a big player in a huge space MMO, but don't seem to realize that you can't buy respect.

When you buy a ship for 140 USD$, are you buying a "license" for the ship that allows you to fly it in game, and you just have to buy copies of it with in game resources? Or are you literally buying a 140$ virtual object that, if it's destroyed, you lose it permanently and have to buy another one with real cash Because the first is dumb, but the second is literally inexplicable to me

Some deals have "lifetime insurance" while others get you three months etc., and you have to keep re-buying the insurance policies with in-game money if you want to keep getting the ship. There was a lot of confusion and backtracking on CIG's part over the insurance policies and I'm pretty sure that like every system in this game none of it makes sense.

The way it works is that you "own" a copy of the starship, and it's inside your hangar for you to use as you please. There is an insurance mechanic that replaces the ship when lost. Depending on when you purchase the ship it will also come with Lifetime Insurance, which basically means you can't lose it. Ships purchased later will have insurance that lasts for a few months (or years) and will cost in-game credits to maintain. Supposedly the price of maintaining it is insignificant. It's dumb and just another example of how CIG has unnecessarily complicated things.

It's amazing how we are all speculating on how the game will be full of people who want total freedom but don't want you doing what you want because it's rape. People slaving for other people in massive ships and wasting months of their lives in lobbies or hanging around not actually doing anything worth while. All the drama and poo poo that a game with such a toxic community will have. The idiots spending life savings on jpgs and the stupid insurance system for years to come. All the crap that we KNOW will be badly implemented or poo poo, and we will all laugh at it. And yet, The game will probably never come out or more likely get shitted out into a "ongoing development beta" steam greenlight knockoff where the idiots who drank the koolaid will play until "The Next Big Thing™" and everyone else will forget it except when it appears in Buzzfeed articles alongside Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem. All this wonderful derision and big juicy balls of scorn we are pouring on it and the game will never live up to our lowest expectations. All we will have to make fun of is Battlecruiser 3000/ Universal Combat levels of half baked shittery. It's tragic really.

Wait, people that bought in really expect new, poor players in the future to spend time and/or money to clean the space toilet on their ship worth hundreds or thousands of dollars with the with workplace environment hazards like clipping out of the ship into space and getting raped by space pirates?
