hi Star Citizen thread. I haven't payed much attention to this poo poo besides tacitly assuming that it was doomed from the start/thinking everybody buying in is a giant retard with far more money than they deserve, but it seems like whatever kind of collapse just happened to prompt a Refund OP must have been pretty goddamn funny. Please, tell me what the funny collapse was in normal people terms instead of vague encoded SC-thread in-jokes. i dont know or care who derek smart or the Roberts person are, besides that those are presumably the names of human beings. I just want to know more about the disaster that has apparently befallen star citizen. i want to see the train wreck in HD vivid detail without having to dig through hundreds of pages of shitposting from the previous thread. please.

Mister Adequate posted:Actually if there's an effortpost in the old thread about how the whole thing was supposed to operate, that'd be neat, because it kind of looks to me like even if they were delivering everything as promised it would still be completely goddamn insane. It's hard to know what the game is supposed to be because the lead designer just says "yes" to whatever sperg-phantasm it's fanbase comes up with. It's a a single-player theatric space shooter featuring Nathan Fillion and Mark Hamill, but it's also an MMO featuring Harvest Moonships and Hamburger-Time minigames, and it's also the next big First Person Shooter. You can buy ultra powerful ships with real cash but the game is not pay-to-win. There are lots of dynamic space battles but it's not really PvP if you want to hold on to your precious ships. The game is basically whatever it needs to be at any moment. Which is easy because there is no game.

You know what would get a ton of spergs to buy in? Space Trains! You have have commuter space trains for intra-system travel or tourist space trains as a slower, more scenic alternative to space liners. You can have space train stations, space train conductors (complete with space train ticket checking), space train dining cars, space train toilet cleaning, etc. The minigame opportunities are endless!

As part of the inevitable disaster after-action report, I would really like to see someone map out all the bajillion ancillary systems and mechanics they've “designed”, and then try to connect the dots to see if there's anything in there that actually resembles a coherent game dynamic.

Just going back over some of these funding goals before Croberts decided he got sick of writing new letters. $14 Million Hibernation Mode: for the explorers out there, we will add the ability to save and resume while you are out in space. When not in combat, power your ship down, hit the bunk, and exit the game safely until you can resume your journey. Professional-quality feature-length “Behind the Scenes of Star Citizen” documentary film. $19 Million Know your foe with a Jane’s Fighting Ships style manual free in PDF form to all pledgers. RSI Museum will air monthly, with a new game featured each time! $24 Million Public Transportation System – Need to get from one place to another but don’t have a starship? We’re building a galactic transportation system. $36 Million Tamsa System - Hey for another million we'll make a map $37 Million Tanga System - Hey for another million we'll make another map. $38 Million Cano System - Hey for another million we'll make another map. $39 Million UDS-2943-01-22 System - Hey for another million we'll make another map. $40 Million Kabal, Oretani Systems - Hey for another million we've got a great deal for you. We'll offer you two maps! $43 Million Combat armor - Hey for another million we're gonna give you this nice looking texture. $45 Million Hadesian Artifact - Hey for another million we're gonna make a weird alien object for you! $49 Million Space plant - Hey for another million we've got a great prop for you to place in your hangar! $50 Million Alien Languages – Do you speak Banu? We will work with real-world linguists to create distinctive and realistic alien languages for Star Citizen’s three biggest alien races, the Vanduul, the Xi’An and the Banu. No universal translators, no garbled animal noises: Star Citizen’s aliens will be speaking their own authentic languages!

Okay people, can we get some history? Because I thought at one point the SA thread on this subject was full of enthusiasm for the game and goons were throwing money at it? When did things change such that all goons now have to say about Star Citizen is endless derision?

starry skies above posted:Okay people, can we get some history? There was a pitched battle between the forces of the star citizen hugbox thread in games and the combined star citizen, doobie's dog house, and dayz garbage nightmare thread in gbs. It was a forums golden age for sure. In the end the sheer weight of evidence supporting the garbage nightmare interpretation won out, and the hugbox posters either became disillusioned, retreated to offsite, or started rolling with the punches

Here's what Star Citizen is supposed to be, I guess. If you're an eternal optimist, this poo poo is right around the corner, any day now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INS_YZl85rQ Here's what Star Citizen is currently. If you're an eternal pessimist, it's never going to get better than it is right now, and right now is awful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppdnbrylevc The truth probably lies someplace between those two extremes, but where the final game will fall, no one can say. It's a pretty big gradient shaped like a roulette wheel, and most goons have already made a profit and are cashing in their chips. Goredema fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Sep 30, 2015 |

"One major point of concern includes the seemingly silent alterations to the Terms of Service. In total, a revision to the Terms of Service includes 178 removals and 199 additions, and was instated after the initial release window for Star Citizen had already passed."
