Aesaar posted:The new UI stuff is pretty decent. It's a shame the cockpit designs are nearly all loving stupid. "Hey we want this game to have top of the line graphics. BTW we'll be obscuring half your screen (or more) with bullshit so you'll barely be able to see these awesome graphics." It's cool from a visual perspective but seems pretty over complicated for gameplay. Oh no I'm being shot at, better give more energy to my shields! Hmm... *opens reactor menu* *opens energy redirect sub menu* *opens "rear shields" sub menu* *flies blindly into the side of an asteroid*

Hmm... *opens reactor menu* *opens energy redirect sub menu* *opens "rear shields" sub menu* *flies blindly into the side of an asteroid* This too. Directional shield controls sounds cool in theory, but in practice, no one is going to be loving around with them in the middle of a fight. At best they'll press an equalize shields key (which, in Freespace 2, is the only shield control anyone cares about). What's more is that if shields block 100% of all damage until they go down, there's no point to controlling shield distribution. Equalizing shields across all quadrants works just as well.

Blimey, posting a Star Citizen article on the internet is like switching on a bat signal. Only instead of a bat it's a circle with two small arms sticking out of it.

I've also seen a lot of people using Voice Attack for those kind of controls: http://www.voiceattack.com/ It's not a difficult problem to solve.

Raskolnikov posted:The comments section is a AAA mustread: quote:You tried...you really did try to remain unbiased, but unfortunately you’ve gotten all caught up in Derek Smart's convoluted make-believe world of crowdfunding conspiracies that make the JFK shooter on the hill seem like fact and not fiction. Even using Derek Smart and the Escapist as a source for your article means you’re one of those people that probably took it all in at face value without doing any research of your own before becoming a mouth piece for one of the biggest trolls the Internet has ever seen. Glad you at least mentioned the horrid affair of the DS flame wars from the 90‘s, but let’s not mention the reality that is Derek Smart, or the fact that the Escapist Online Magazine wrote a smear piece based on so-called anonymous sources that weren’t so anonymous and not properly vetted at all.

The Yahoo article is pretty balanced and reasonable, too. The Escapist article was pretty heavy handed and only really told one side of the story, but the Yahoo article basically says there are differing opinions and maybe it'll all work out OK in the end. The fact that it makes SC backers so angry and upset that someone would dare to say that there are differing opinions on the game and it might not be a success is extremely telling. Their biggest fear right now seems to be the truth.

Yeah, it's a very milquetoast "Maybe the answer is somewhere in the middle? " article, especially compared to the "Jesus gently caress what are these guys even doing" articles people who have actually read into what's going on write. But obviously this means they're spreading FUD and are firmly in the pockets of Derek "loving" Smart.

Much like the captain of the Titanic judt after it struck the iceberg, i think Chris probably has some vague awareness of his impending doom. He probably has a fairly accurate vision of some enraged rando spergtard who has had enough waiting for the BDSSE finally decides to take matters into his own hands and storm CIG Santa Monica (looking at you, Octopode).

quote:Holy cow, does this author not know that the next major expansion of SC is actually going to include part of the persistent universe, AHEAD of schedule? This game is not behind schedule at all, only STAR MARINE is behind, but that is one component of a much larger whole. The game has been cooking along for quite some time, and unifying all these parts is a whole ball of wax on it's own. The game has been making steady progress, the kicker here is nothing has been rushed, this is WHY it's taking forever, however in this instant gratification based world of ours, we have been dealt crap from other publishers and developers and just thought to ourselves this is the way games are now.

This is such a train wreck. It hurts so bad. I hope the revised edition of DSM 5 has Starcitizenopathy personality disorder. They can put it with histrionic disorder and narcissistic disorder. My psych is a little rusty. Those two are in the same group I think.

I've also seen a lot of people using Voice Attack for those kind of controls: http://www.voiceattack.com/ And FS2 mapped those controls to the keyboard arrow keys. Doesn't matter. No one used them because loving with your shield distribution in a fast-paced dog fight is something you don't really have time to think about, especially if equalizing shields across all quadrants is effectively the same, works for all directions, and only requires you to push one button. It's not like SC is the first game to have this idea. Aesaar fucked around with this message at 12:03 on Nov 7, 2015 |

I guess they're a real journalism site, because they're falling for the same dumb logic that most 24 news channels follow: "Our two guests tonight are Vox Day, who thinks all minorities and females should be severely beaten and then locked in cages forever, and an average NOT INSANE human being, who believes all people should have equal freedoms under the law. I suppose the truth lies someplace in the middle!" No, no it doesn't. Sometimes the truth lies very very close to one side of the argument, especially when the other side is comprised of pants-shittingly-retarded fanatics.

For every mil we gave him he probably took 10 mil out, transferred the cash elsewhere and has been playing the loan pay loan game for somewhile now, since we're still so glad to throw money their way, they're just gonna apply for more credit. So he's getting the cash, and a salary from the loans. Sweet deal.

Goredema posted:I guess they're a real journalism site, because they're falling for the same dumb logic that most 24 news channels follow: I dunno, you've gotta forgive the average person for seeing a video game developer with a lot of money and some pretty pictures and thinking "maybe this will be good". Understanding that the scope of the project and technical requirements are insane and the videos of people flying around in space ships apparently playing the games are unrepresentative pre-renders and rigs actually requires a fair bit of knowledge about how video games work and the history of similar games. I wouldn't expect someone writing a side story on Yahoo to really grasp these things. The fact that average people can see that this may turn out to be a disaster is important though since it directly affects CIG's ability to sucker more people into parting with their money.

Even a legion of morons filling their comments section with limp attempts at being clever and condescending isn't really going to convince the author there's a fire.
