I always wondered what Baragoon's problem with goons was. I see him on /r/starcitizen_trades all the time and he's always raging about goons. Never realized it was because goons called him out on homophobia. How dull. Usually people have a real reason to hate goons. "You scammed me" or "you ruined xyz game for me." Never "You called me out on being a bigot." Star Citizen continues to underwhelm.

Sarsapariller posted:I was pretty much exclusively a redditor but the sub soured by degrees until it became a complete echo chamber. I left when a guy made a thread that literally said "Anyone who complains about this game obviously has little to no money in it- nobody who has truly invested in it has anything bad to say. Show us how much you've spent, doubters. I will buy out the most expensive doubter on the condition that CIG close their account forever." I opened it assuming people would be calling him a loving moron and instead the whole thing was full of people shouting encouragement. I wasn't even particularly anti-SC but I hate blowhards, so I called him on the bluff. He didn't actually bother to verify that I'd ever even criticized the game- he actually took it all the way to CIG. Their response was a literal "We talked to Sandi and we're really sorry, we'd really like to, but we can't." They were extremely apologetic to him that they could not help him use his loving wallet to literally run another person out of their community. Welcome to the verse

Trapezium Dave posted:I doubt who wrote in POTATO did in maliciously. There's a slight undercurrent of making fun of the Irish at CIG LA, it was noticeable during the wing commander live stream, Lando doing a Scottish accent instead of an Irish one and not caring. Hence possibly potato might be code for whatever poo poo they intend to sell next to idiots. One of the earlier streams has them try to make Martin Galway do an irish accent too with Chris Roberts laughing about it, he grew up in Manchester so I dunno.

Sarsapariller posted:I don't think I've ever had my writing compared to an ex-cultist before, that's a new angle! Star Citizen was a project that really grabbed my imagination at one point, but never to a fanatical degree. I think it's less that I was deeply into the game and more that I've always tried to understand the position I'm arguing against, as a person actually advocating it would. When I was pro-CIG I really spent a lot of time examining the criticisms, and eventually they became concerning enough and the community got weird enough that I left. Now that I'm pretty anti-CIG, I still work hard to try to understand the optimism of the fan crowd even if I disagree with it. People on the internet now have grown up without ever having to really exist around anyone they disagree with, and that has had a very isolating effect on communities. I try to bridge that gap. Hmm, in topics I actually care about I find temperance and empathy valuable goals. Here, though, it just feels like any actual time spent empathetically considering these people is damning ourselves in affording them a shred of legitimacy

I'm really not up to speed with the game or the drama, I honestly thought the PU stuff looked pretty cool. However, the few seconds of FPS footage that they tacked on to the press demo looked like poo poo. It was objectively worse than at pax nearly a year ago. Regardless of whether or not CIG are about to run out of money and/or cocaine, after a year of work it should look better than that. What they hell have they been doing?

SelenicMartian posted:You're saying all the people who think it was all perfectly planned only need to look at the released cutscene to realise Roberts & Co couldn't direct an emotional scene if their life depended on it. The Dirtiest Harry posted:What they hell have they been doing? And when things lag behind and industry veterans dare speak their mind about the Chairman's interference they get told to walk the plank. Rookies then get promoted to be project leads and they have no experience to think independently and fear directly speaking up (as it took out their boss) so wait days for Roberts to check something for approval and then have to change things based off shonky photoshopped mockups. Keep in mind Roberts thinks today's technologies can do everything out of the box and within two years. He likely saw the Aircraft Carrier attack in Crysis and thought "yes, that's my next game!" He hates programming and hated how when he was working on Freelancer got bogged down in the tech limits of the day trying to realize his vision. No doubt he's upset and confused to why it hasn't actually changed much in the year 2015 and doesn't listen to the devs who tell him all the cool poo poo he saw on that carrier was well done smoke and mirrors where the player is largely on a rail. Roberts wants to remove that rail and doesn't see why that isn't an issue. And I bet he still walks in at 2pm and expects everyone to have solved that bug from yesterday.

Longer answer: -They have repeatedly missed deadlines by 6-12 months -They have repeatedly broken promises concerning the nature of pledging/pledge ships -They have show little to no progress in actual development work -Their latest reveal, CitizenCon, which happened yesterday, featured a buggy unplayable mess that was somehow praised by the brainwashed cult community -Chris Roberts is hell-bent on making a movie rather than a video game -Play Pulsar: Lost Colony, Angel's Fall First, Elite: Dangerous, literally any game other than this.

Its going to be great when it comes out that Mark Hamil's role is only a cameo to hand Sandi's character a bouquet of flowers (as played by Andy Serkis)

So the even if the game turns out to be perfect in every way, it will turn out that Sandi is the player's love interest and you have to see her face for 10 hours while playing.

Wing commander 3 had a porn star as one of the main cast alongside Mark Hamill, John Rhys Davies, the boss from Herman's Head, Tom Wilson and Malcolm McDowell. His casting choices are always hilarious.

I said it before for a long time I thought the rumours and criticism of Sandi Gardiner might have been just because she was female. I later came to doubt that. But still if you ignore all the rumours of hiring practices, toxic work enviroment, screaming, eye rolls, firings, if you ignore imdb, ignore season 2 of reverse the verse and the ending of wingman's hangar. Ignore holidays and photos being taken while people are different places, ignore a personal facebook page being used to release new content to real content starved fans in this "open development" game. Ignore game development shifting from Austin to the more expensive LA and ignore a yearly live stream event for thousands of nerds being taken over at the very start by a weird pointless speech that resulted in the "it's not a secret!" comment and ended with a gift of flowers. Ignore all of that and that single image tells you everything you need to know about $91 million Star Citizen game and the actress Sandi Gardiner.

In fairness to Sandi, she is provably Hollywood-grade material at several non-acting traits that are pretty crucial to make it to the top in the movie business. Raging insecurity, a willingness to gently caress a really gross old man with a monied production company, being willing to trample on production assistants and then fire them for disloyalty, expensive tastes, a good coke connection, a rabid hunger for top billing on the marqee and is totally comfortable working on a production where nobody is going to make a dollar if they are hoping to come out ahead on a cut of the net profits. poo poo, Anne Hathaway made TMZ this morning just for sending back a poached egg breakfast four times. Meanwhile Sandi Garnder made people pay to listen to her congratulate herself in a speech right out of "Showgirls" and then asked them for money in the next breath, from a group of people she knows to be largely unemployed! She has the chops is what I'm saying.

Off the RSI forums on a thread criticizing Gary Oldman's "rousing" speech. I dunno, I'd expect them to put at least as much effort as any company would at E3 for their own loving convention and maybe finish a two minute cutscene.
