I did a check on the page to see an artifact left over from "Vindicator" but didn't see anything. Someone with more webpage knowledge should probably see if anything was forgotten.

They probably did a find and replace to switch Vindicator to POTATO and then missed those entries after they came up with Sabre

I was trying to convince myself to learn movie clip editing for this clip, turning it into a goon-style parody upon witnessing tonight's 'con' (which I was certain was going to be a disaster), but I legit cannot muster that kind of :effort: for this insanity, now that I've rewatched all this poo poo late at night...

So this video clip sums up my feelings at this exact moment about Star Citizen and CitCon 2015. If anyone wants to make an SA-parody vid out of it, by all means do.

The fact that they renamed the dumb ship (and hosed it up so it was named POTATO briefly on the website) and then changed the price by 5$ to PROVE DSMART WRONG is far more entertaining than it should be. I would ask what it is named in the game assets except there is no game :lol:

If SOMEONE didn't give bad advice about salting hashes none of this would have happened.

I'm okay with this because they've said that they wanted each manufacturer to have its own design language or whatever so certain components are either similar or identical in appearance.

A more pressing question is why is it so loving foggy inside their spaceships?

I decided to browse the brown sea. A discussion of the progress made in the last year was brought up.

A poster linked the various tech demos (multicrew/fps/social) and said they are "playable."

"If they are playable," I inquired, "then why aren't they released?"

He informed me that that's not what "playable" means as he saw a person "play" them once.

I feel like I'm debating a new age feminist who is changing the definitions of words to fit their agenda. I give up.

Waiting to hear back on my refund submission.

This whole thing is so strange, but I really hope nobody hurts themselves over it. Seriously even if you got enormously ripped off, just remember you can recover from that but not from killing yourself. The incongruous perception between the fans and the critics just spells disaster to me.

I'm still enjoying watching it all unfold though so kudos for that... Just, don't hurt yourself people, regardless of what happens, you know? I'd feel really awful enjoying the shitshow of anyone actually hurt themselves I guess. Chalk it up as an expensive lesson in getting carried away and move on if you are feeling awful and like you made a huge mistake. I know the 'true believers' are fine but I bet there's someone out there with maxed out credit cards feeling panicky.

I think the terrible thing here is even if the game gets released and everything is great these people will still have crippling debt and all the emotions that tell them to end it all, a game won't keep those feelings away forever.

Conditioning and starvation. The first "sizzle" trailer with the Bengal and Vanduul and poo poo blowing up was this epic thing that really caught your attention. The commercials did the same thing. But over time the quality of what CIG released became less and less impressive and of course actual gameplay like AC is terrible. Meanwhile CIG releases next to nothing in terms of new gameplay videos (the little you saw is still the most CIG has shown in months), so when backers do see something new they eat it up.

Meanwhile anyone seeing this from the outside sees it for what it truly is; painfully derivative but very pretty poo poo.

I was reading one of those reddit threads when the Star Marine FPS trailer got released last night. There was a guy who said he could never get into an "earthbound" shooters like CoD and that this looked awesome to him. The latest CoD has you doing power leaps, speed runs, ziplining, and jet packs in an exo-suit. The next CoD will have cyborg powers. Saints Row 4 gave you superpowers such as flight. I'll even go back, Halo 2 has a moment where Master Chief goes all Major Kong on a Covenant battleship. That dude has been missing out and his gaming knowledge is loving weak.

I genuinely liked the level of detail and interactivity on the ship, and the character interactions were decent and would make for a fun game (though you have to wonder about replay value). They built the impression of a crewed and functioning ship far more so than anything else they've shown to date. The dialogue was not particularly cringey until the "briefing room" and I found myself kind of enjoying Morrow's character. Personally I want the game to have a lot of slow-paced shipboard segments in between the sorties and combat. I'd like to see a lot of character development through that, it would be a nice departure from previous space games where your downtime was a couple static screens between missions.

That's kind of interesting, because that's exactly what got on my nerves so much about the minimovie. Everything and everyone was so generic - you get the nice guy, the girl with attitude, the cool-headed briefing officer - and there's nothing really distinctive about any of them. They're all around the same size, all have the same short hair, and all have the same muted color palette that everything else on the ship has. Who are these people? Why do I care about them? Nothing really happens in the demo, so they don't have a character to establish, so all I have to go on is visuals, which are all just varying shades of gray and orange.

Everything about it was just baffling; the first glimpse of this movie consists of some guy making a Generic Rousing Speech, then a tour around a bunch of corridors. No dogfights, no tense launch off the deck as a swarm of unstoppable monsters beyond the stars tear apart your home base, nothing. They could've even just had a sad scene where a salvage team is picking through the wreckage of a dead battlegroup, finding corpses for burial to actually give a sense that there's a war for the player to win. No, let's establish our setting by walking around corridors for an hour.

He's a moronic sycophant who tries to defend SC at every opportunity despite actually playing the game for less than 10 hours since its release. He also tries to Google law and other topics he has no knowledge of to try and prop up his terrible arguments. He is also a pretty bad poster besides all that.
