I love how pants-shittingly terrified they are that someone else would dare to interact with them in a video game or even on a message board in a disagreeable (to them) manner. How do these people function in the outside world where someone might dare to tell them "no" or "I'm sorry, your fursuit is not acceptable to wear to the office for casual Friday"?

I'm thinking of designing a game myself, and I've decided to use SC as a business template. So far my priorities are outlined as follows:

1) House, cars, vacations, coffee machines
2) Mocap studios
3) International offices
4) Sycophants

That should cover the foundation. Next up:

5) JPEGs
6) Fidelity
7) Head bob
8) Livestreaming

Once that is in place, from what I've learned, I can consider the game shipped. However, since quality is job 1, I want to go above and beyond for my future customers. I've added some stretch goals:

- A game engine
- Physics
- An economy
- A game

Once all that is completed, I'm hoping to finish it off with a design document.

Anyone on board with this?

The human mind is one of the most complex things someone could possible have to deal with. People who think they can analyze some stranger's mind over the internet are just the worst. Could you imagine some random dumbass shouldering a bomb disposal expert aside going "I got this, don't worry! I'm smart, you know? Watched a lot of movies and poo poo."

Star Citizens would see no problem with this. They'd probably start to wrestle each other to reach the bomb first if they'd ever encounter this case.

The scary part about this is that, when dealing with a normal game and fan base it's just a fun thought... but with Star Citizens it's literally something they are forcing into how they think the game will actually operate. They truly believe that everything they imagine is going into the game and it's going to be almost heart breaking when they begin to commit Sudoku in the of Christ Roberts.

Well didn't you hear? CIG got over a million dollars so that means they have no choice but to make the most special snowflake game ever all for me and my special delicate snowflake imagination, that's just science man.

Piece from the Farticle :

A huge milestone towards achieving this goal was the release of Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 earlier this month, with the ability to play in a huge area (the biggest yet in gaming thanks to 64 bit floating point positional coordinates) and offering up all of these exciting options in that world: walking around a space station on foot or boarding a space ship by yourself or with friends� walk around that ship and/or have your friends man various stations while you are flying� fly thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilometers, engage in ship to ship combat against AI or other players, exit your ship to EVA and explore space stations� engage in FPS combat (on foot or in EVA), rescue stranded players, perform various missions. All of this happens seamlessly without loading screens at a fidelity and scale that has not been seen before in any game.

Can someone confirm how much of this is true? And how much is carefully worded bs?

Just the ones I know of off the top of my head:

- Biggest area in gaming: false, but exactly what beats it depends on what he means. Elite has a far larger world (not E:D � Elite� the one from '84). EVE has far larger local grids (ranging from 16Mm to 100Mm across).
- Fidelity: inherently false. �Fidelity� assumes that there is something real to replicate; nothing in SC has even the slightest connection to reality. Its physics would make Aristotle go �yeah, you've misunderstood something here�� and he'd be right � never mind anyone who's born after Newton.
- Scale: what does he mean? If it's just a repetition of �biggest� then it is false for the same reason as before.
- Seamlessness: if he just means a lack of loading screens, then EVE is once again more seamless. Also, you have to wonder how much is them just hiding loading behind their omnipresent canned animations�

Someone needs to make a youtube video of the points listed in the article and just cut to shots of cr looking confused and angry at his computer trying to get all of it to work.

MeLKoR posted:

I think what baffles me the most is that these people seem incapable of thinking outside the box they themselves designed. They are completely unable to grasp the idea that any pirate would kill his victims rather than taking them alive because it would damage their reputation, or that any pilot being boarded would self-destruct and kill everyone even if it costs him more money. They seem to think people will follow an ingame money/reputation cost/benefit chart mechanically instead of having predictable human reactions like "it might cost me more this way but I'll make sure you assholes also lose money in this attack" or "I rather kill everyone on board rather than take like prisoners" (where to???).

All of these dreams are going to face a very harsh reality the minute they face actual human opponents with human motivations that might go beyond increased ingame insurance costs or some such nonsense.

Because every dingbat who's actually thrown money at this game (no offense to anyone on here, most people on here just seem to be curious/regretful not fanatical) seems to think that when they roleplay a certain way that everyone will roleplay around that and not try and do their own thing.
Because the makers have said yes to basically every stupid suggestion , the people who are invested seem to think their every whim and game idea will be catered to, it's going to be hilarious when absoloutely none of it comes to fruition.
There's going to be a lot of "UGGH YOU'RE NOT PLAYING THE GAME THE RIGHT WAY, STOP IT!" gnashing of teeth.

I recently did a wedding for a couple that was renewing their vows after 25 years together. I like to write something unique for each wedding I do, and I wanted to celebrate their time together. I've been glued to SC recently (just truly discovered it) and this is what I wrote. Forgive the extreme cheese factor, it's a wedding (names are removed) ____ and ____ have been together for 25 years. That�s 9,125 days together as husband and wife. What a wonderful, memory filled journey that must be.

I often imagine life as a night sky. A background dotted with motes of light both bright and dim. Like a night sky, the backgrounds of our lives are full of memories both strong and distant. Longfellow said, �Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, blossomed the lovely stars,� and so do we make new memories each day to add more pinholes of light to that vast background, a collection of experiences that helps define who we are and who we will be.

Our view of this sky is different than all other�s, as we see it from the spot in which we stand, a perspective unique to each. Gazing out at that vast sea of black with small islands of light, it can be easy to feel lonely or overwhelmed by the vastness that stretches out on all sides. Is this how we were meant to see, alone in this vast ocean of memory? I think the answer lies in this: on occasions when we give pause and gaze upwards at the same time as the person next to us something interesting happens. We share our perspective, we marvel together at the beauty in those distant, shining lights. We see through each other�s eyes and perspectives and take more joy than we would ever find on our own. We clasp each other�s hands and take delight in all of those stars above and all of their light.

9,125 days. That�s a sea of light that they can both look up at together, sharing each moment at its creation and later in its distant reflection. We should all envy that and hope that one day we are able to see the same sights. We�re all so happy that we could be here to help you celebrate your togetherness, in the past, the present, and for your future. We�re so happy to see you renew this commitment to make and share a million more moments, afloat forever on this sea of memories.

Get gary oldman to read this and I MIGHT be impressed *armcross* But seriously that's very sweet, good job :]

Okay so let's say some of these people get their wish and piracy works the way they want i.e. 'honourable' pirates who generally don't kill you.

You get captured. Here's your options.

1. You are instantly 'ransomed' and immediately appear in a nearby space station. Ruins immersion. Unacceptable.

2. You are captured and have to stay on the pirate ship until they deliver you somewhere to ransom you. Enjoy not doing anything in this game you dropped $30k on for an undefined amount of hours until they get around to dropping you off, I guess.

3. You are captured. Goons leave you in the cell forever and leave the ship you're in in low/decaying orbit.

The only rational approach to being beaten but not killed by a pirate becomes immediate suicide, lest you are stuck in a jail cell indefinitely. All you've done is remove the need for the pirates to waste the bullet.

See you in the 'verse.

Uhhhhh EXCUSE ME, have we forgotten that this is star citizen we're talking about? a game where anything is possible?

I enjoyed him too until i stumbled on what goes on behind the curtain. Basically most of the stuff in the DayZ videos is heavily edited in post production, when you hear him go like "hey mate, hey there, put down your gun pls friendz", that's added in post and he usually smackstalk them or just gun them down in reality. One of the players he did that too and edited it to make himself seem like a saint in post was actually a streamer and posted a youtube of what happened on his end where frankie yells poo poo at him, mows him down and laughs at him or whatever. Then Frankie tried to copyright claim his video and shut down his channel.

There were also some videos with "proof" (i cant tell cause im bad at games) of him hacking in DayZ and CS:GO and he did the same with those.

This combined with all the sponsored poo poo makes him suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper shifty to me.

Basically this man is perfect as the face for SC.

Ahh gently caress that guy then,i like dayZ videos but most players just come across as pub bores "Oh I can tell the sound of a gun from 10 miles away ughhhurgh tactical hardon!" *splooooge*

It made the nose end of the big black ship rock up into the air, once it got high enough, it was like the whole ship was sucked away by a vacuum cleaner, it just went zooop and was gone.

Then I showed him stealing other people's ships.
