kikkelivelho posted:I assume croberts has not stated how those are actually going to work. Honestly, if CIG can't standardize a docking collar size after the compound failures that were non-standard weapon slots leading to them finally releasing geometry to which each weapon and weapon slot must conform, this thread may as well just be closed now and replaced with one purely focused on games journalism. Those docking collar points are on a couple larger ships (Retaliator is one of them, Connie another) and they aren't in unreasonable locations. They could probably slide by with a bare-minimum "curtain extends hey now your ship is copulating with another ship" and get away with it.

Octopode isn't patently incorrect about everything, just insufferable when trying to drive a point. I recall the "Here's a link to California Law XYZ, enjoy being wrong!" where "Here's a link to California Law XYZ" could have done just fine. CR could also have benefited from being less verbose and keeping to the point. I've found that just buttoning my lips and re-reading poo poo has been a good fix for taking a bad / naive stance on something elsewhere in SA. Edit: holy poo poo Octopode's stuff about virtualization was hilarious though.

thatguy posted:I've never seen a dissenting view on r/starcitizen get over 50 upvotes. On the beginning it did. CIG eventually began posting there. Over time the more vocal parts of the brown sea realized not only could they defend their point of view, but also remove them from view. Every subreddit is designed to become a hugbox. For example, if you read only the politics subreddit you would think Bernie Sanders is destined to win the election by a landslide.

Potato Salad posted:If the voiceover acting ends up being as underwhelming / flat as it was with some/many of the characters in the SQ42 demo, it's entirely likely some of it may be done over with talents trained in that field of dramatic performance. If the rest of CIG's cash is planned out for the fifteen-ish months as "loving Get SQ42 Out the Goddamn Door," getting a good cast to do a few hours of capture each won't honestly cost all that much. Excellent talent is reasonable, and good voice talent can be bought at a freaking steal. In other words, SQ42 is gonna be 10 hours of nolan north talking to nolan north, with a supporting cast of nolan north.

Bitter Beard posted:Your echo chamber? The tides moved for and against Star Citizen, even the first GBS thread didn't impact it much but now that there have been a significant amount of failures this thread is mostly turning against RSI as far as I can tell. Put it this way - SA deffo is an echo chamber, since it's formed its own culture and sub-cultures over the decade and a half now. And with any kind of culture, echo chambers come quite naturally. There was one on this topic, once, where there was an actual J4G avatar buying programme in place for about a year or so and now there's another, where we all just talk about whatever and poo poo all over this lunacy. That being said, though, SA's general opinions certainly have the potential to change moreso than elsewhere. And not because loving GBS or Imp Zone trolls the poo poo out of this thread, that didn't change anyone's opinion other than be hilariously funny. Mainly due to SA absolutely stagnating and refusing to make the same mistakes the rest of the internet is (such as like and dislike buttons). Anyway, onto more important topics. I'm currently stuffing myself with crispy potatoes and can't help but imagine that CIG should've just ran wild with it and posted something like this for their new ship:

It gives some people hope, and i know where the kids coming from in the sense that during my worst depression, being able to fantasize about the game worlds prevented me from thinking some very dark thoughts. It's about a reality that falls neatly into the personal narrative one has constructed where all people who choose to spend money on a game of their choosing suffer from some mental disorder that you get to play the hero and save them from. The reality is that people see something in games that excites them, and they are willing to spend money because of that.

Basically I just want it to be like mystery science theater 3000 but instead of laughing at terrible movies they're going to be laughing at terrible design promises. Edit: Someone who followed the subreddit more closely could probably school me on this but I always felt that the place went tits up either around the time when people started to feel that if you whitewashed the news the health of the ship sale market would be stronger or around the time INN started to wallpaper the place. But I only visited casually as it was a pretty good place to pick up news and information back in the glory days of earnest enthusiasm.

Unfunny Poster posted:The name and the price of the new ship revealed were off, but only slightly. The Star Citizen Sabre actually looks like being fairly inspired by the Wing Commander Sabre. I was wondering if they actually did try to identify the internal leak by seeding various ship names to see which ones got out. Ofc, they could just have had the intention to release the Sabre as Vindicator, similiar like the Rapier became the Gladius.

It seems more likely that the original ship was called the Vindicator due to the general Aegis naming conventions with the Sabre being the name that the nostalgia team pulled out of a hat. But as the ship model is more or less a 1:1 kitbash of the Vanguard I imagine that was the design influence. Just resize and move around elements from a popular ship and call it new.

Unfunny Poster posted:Imagine a Wing Commander IP game that's a C&C RTS using FMV? Late as gently caress, but I consider Tib Wars 3, and Kane's Wrath, to be the best C&C installments outside of Tib Sun. The multiplayer is janky as gently caress because of a "Desync" issue that EA never bothered to fix, and the game itself has a spotty record of working at all but EA basically abandoned it. drat shame.

I mean, I get escaping into fantasy whenever someone's depressed or poo poo. That's normal. But saying "This is home" is mental. At the end of the day, it's just pixels and dreams - it can't love you back.

Something awful isn't an echo chamber because when everyone here love star citizen and a couple of us were making fun of it in the thread we didn't get silenced, just had people be dickish. Now when everyone hates it we don't try to actually silence octopode, just people are dicks to him.

One of you mentioned that the Illfonic work might have to be re-done, and that the FPS isn't coming out any time soon, so I made a quick thread in the brown sea. https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/289566/so-they-are-starting-the-fps-work-over#latest The ones who agree with me have to couch their negative opinion/agreement with paragraphs of assurances that they love CIG and believe completely in Star Citizen.

There was one on this topic, once, where there was an actual J4G avatar buying programme in place for about a year or so and now there's another, where we all just talk about whatever and poo poo all over this lunacy. A larger point about Star Citizen: For better or for worse, pop culture has been totally taken over by the philosophy that Your Tastes are the best ones and that anyone who doesn't like them is a bad person and an elitist at best and perhaps even immoral. And we're encouraged at every opportunity to retreat inwards and enjoy the things we already like. Enjoy Star Wars? We'll make it so you never have to enjoy anything BUT Star Wars, if that's what you want. When you're not playing video games you're reading about them or watching other people play them. Then you can strap VR goggles on and enjoy it even more. The like/dislike buttons and algorithms make it easier. It is what it is. I have my nerdy self-obsessions. But SA is out of step with the times, because the culture industry in general (not just gaming websites) do not want to tell people that they're making bad decisions when it comes to the cultural products they consume. Don't like Star Citizen? Well, then you are trying to smash people's dreams and fantasies, you monster. Yeah, there are still bad reviews. But the idea that you shouldn't emotionally invest themselves in any specific franchise is verboten, and companies are criticized when they're not catering to our self-obsessions effectively enough: http://io9.com/force-friday-was-a-disaster-for-many-star-wars-fans-1728765957 BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Oct 12, 2015 |

That doesn't happen in an echo chamber by definition.
