nopantsjack posted:Whats the verdict on E:D? Obviously these Redditors tell me its the worst game ever, a ripoff of SC and the devil and everyone regrets backing it instead of SC. It's also pretty good on the "shoot spacemans in ships" front, too.

nopantsjack posted:It makes me sorta frown and smile in disbelief when I remember my girlfriend's dad has played like 300 hours of Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen still doesn't have a proper fly spaceships gameplay model. It's fun in the same way that Microsoft Flight Simulator is fun. Frontier also seems committed to improving the game (with some missteps along the way) and a patch due out tomorrow adds in an arena PvP mode.

Whats the deal with all the furries and SC, just a subsection of the community or is there something that actually caters to them in the game? Also whats the deal with people who seem to talk about space prostituion and stuff, is that just roleplay or has Croberts promised human trafficing and sex robots in his magnum opus or something?

Welp, let's hope you get that much entertainment value out of what you spent, I guess. I'll try to check out your show. Anti-Brony? That's a MLP version of the Eridani Light Horse logo. Googling ELH and pony says http://mwo.gamepedia.com/Unit:Eridani_Light_Pony ... yeah, they like MLP and Battletech. Not the worst pun.  Eridani Light Horse logo for reference - they happened to be my favored Battletech company. Warcabbit fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Oct 5, 2015 |

Its not even that uncommon an amount, I mean like two days ago I would have done a couple spit takes but now its like, "heh, amateur" e: Man before this day I was worried people would find out that back when it was new and big I probably spent over a hundred quid on League of Legends over the course of a couple years.

Just laugh at her and be like "Okay so someone sent you something on the internet?" That, seems to be a typical response from what I've seen. Also I don't think anyone wants to go to court (not space court) over a dick pic. edit: ALL of this was presented to CIG back in 2014 and they didn't even ban him for 24 hours btw. We were collectively pissed at CIG for being lovely at their job. Raskolnikov fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Oct 5, 2015 |

Beef Hardcheese posted:Could someone explain in non-programmer language what it is about Cryengine that makes it bad for a game of this type? Compared to the Unreal engine, or... Uh, I don't know any other game engines of this type. They're having huge problems making an FPS with an engine specifically created for FPSs. So I wouldn't take CIG's issues as evidence of an engine being poo poo

nopantsjack posted:It makes me sorta frown and smile in disbelief when I remember my girlfriend's dad has played like 300 hours of Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen still doesn't have a proper fly spaceships gameplay model. I'd give it an 7.5 on a 1-10 scale (8.5-9 if you play with VR) and THE SOUND DESIGN IS THE BEST IN GAMING. When it launched it was a 6. But keeps adding content, expanded / refined gameplay, and occasionally even really intriguing lore. It gets better every month, expanding outward from a very stable set of core mechanics. (Basically the opposite of Star Citizen.) It's a low-risk purchase, IMO, because Frontier is so ace about the perpetual improvements / additions / refinements. They're the exact opposite of CIG in that regard. The "Horizons" expansion in a month or more brings planetary landings, looting/crafting, multicrew(!), new ships, and supposedly some meaningful expansions on their most interesting in-game lore, a pending invasion(?), attack(?), plague(?) from the old insectile menace of the earlier titles, the Thargoids. You should wait until Horizons release to buy in-- and I imagine you'll end up feeling like you got more than your money's worth. Particularly if you're a fan of space sims. Just be warned up front: it's a slower paced game than many. There's no denying that it's a "Grindcore" game at its heart; combat, exploration, mining, smuggling all have a grindy nature. What the game needs, more than anything, are more surprises and stories-- but Frontier knows that, and we got a glimpse of that with the semi-recent discovery of an alien artifact in game. (Watch the full clip for a nice surprise that caught the discoverers off guard.) It's believed to be spreading a plague-- and ships which carried it to stations seem to have led to station infections which resulted in quarantines and abandonment of the ship. THAT is the kind of really cool "this galaxy is alive and CHANGING" stuff Frontier knows it needs to triple down on. Given their track record to date, I fully expect that they will.

Until now, that has not been allowed in any jurisdiction in Canada So it's not relevant to SC, sadly.

CLAM DOWN posted:on a serious note for this thread, some provinces in Canada may have crowdfunding rules coming This is somewhat different because it's crowfunding + actual investment (securities). That's not allowed right now in either the US or Canada. This is why Fig, the kickstarter-alike that says they give you equity in the project, is currently only allowed to take money from people who file some forms to prove they have a million dollars of personal worth. There are a lot of laws about this because a hundred years ago stock scams were as common as crowdfunding scams are today. e;fb Klyith fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Oct 5, 2015 |

The sad part of all of this is when I watch poo poo like the multi-crew demo I feel the deep nerd-yearning in me that the faithful must feel. If I didn't know enough about reality to know that you currently just can't make seamless first person high fidelity EVE I'd probably be throwing money at this too. I'm universally poo poo at space games so they hold little interest for me, but goddamn would I play a game where you could spacewalk onto a derelict ship, power it up and fly it away or fly up the rear end in a top hat of some guys bigger ship and go explore that in a persistent universe of thousands of people. Problem is even EVE can't do EVE without it having to drop to 10x slow mo whenever anything interesting happens. The multicrew demo is cool but you look at how its chugging along in places and then extrapolate that beyond just one map with a set demo route into 100 star systems worth of hybrid procedural and artisinal content with voxel based hoosits and basically the only way thats possible is Croberts discovering sorcery.
