So heard about this poo poo when it first got launched on kickstarter and it was clear then that it was never going to happen in the very first thread. Now what happens when everything goes tits up? I know people who donated are classed as investors or whatever, but really it seems to me like they're customers (read: suckers) isn't there some kind of consumer protection in America, Or can Christ Roberts get out his paper shredder and gently caress off to a tropical island? Reading Derek Smarts blog it literally seems like a scam set up for the purpose of fleecing more and more money while Christ Roberts creates shell companies around the world in order to hide a fortune of all that cash, that appears to still be coming in as we speak. I can't believe people are still donating money. What the hell, I seriously advise taking up smack or something that gives a tangible reward rather than space-heroin jpegs lol.

I've been a member of this community for over 10 years but I'm starting to feel we jumped the gun on this one and now many of you are simply determined not to see what's right in front of you. We all bought into Derek Smart's claims and in retrospect we should have know better but that doesn't excuse what you people are doing now. The game is out and it's a lot of fun, we can't continue to pretend nothing has changed. I bought a pack last night and none of the stuff you keep talking about is true, I've had a lot of fun and not a single crash. What possible reason could you have to keep lying about this game? Chris Roberts delivered already and if we continue with this stupid obstinacy we are going to be left behind. I know I'd hate for the game that is going to define PC gaming for the next generation not to have a strong Goon presence so I think it's time we swallow our pride and try to get back in with the least fuss possible.

Ahh Yes posted:Now what happens when everything goes tits up? A whole bunch of nerds commit suicide? Dark, I know, but I genuinely fear for what will happen to some people's already weak psychological state if this does explode in a ball of flames with no game at the end of it. It's scary enough to think what will happen to these people if SC turns out to be a decent video game worth $50.

Ive heard a lot of delusional people say 2.0 is fun but they cant seem to pinpoint whats fun about it. I would like to see a genuine write up of the gameplay experience, what there is to do right now, if its better than whats offered in other games of the genre. That sort of thing.

I would like to see a genuine write up of the gameplay experience, what there is to do right now, if its better than whats offered in other games of the genre. That sort of thing. It's fair to say that 2.0 is a fun game with extremely minimal variety or content. Many, many games are based around the concept of missions that boil down to "fetch item" or "shoot dudes". 2.0 has this basic framework and flying around in a space ship shooting dudes or in FPS mode shooting dudes, or fetching items in first person or in a space ship can be fun. They fix the crashing and add a bunch of randomly generated missions involving shooting/collecting different permutations of dudes and/or items and you absolutely have a video game on your hands that a human can have fun playing. Slap some exp and currency as mission rewards that let you upgrade your poo poo to bigger poo poo and this is basically the PU I expect to see at release. I really doubt anything that SC offers will be better than other games - I expect SC to fall into the trap of trying to do too many disparate things. It'll have an explorable universe of only 100 stars when E:D has literally hundreds of thousands. It'll have dogfighting which may be up to scratch with other games that offer it, but it's unlikely to be better. It'll have FPS combat, but it won't be better than a game like Planetside 2 or other dedicated FPS games. It'll have a story but it won't be better than something like The Witcher 3 - to be honest the story is likely to be awful. It'll certainly take the award for crowd funding better than any other game but I don't imagine SC will be notable for anything besides that. Would love to hear from one of the few SC supporters scattered around the thread about what they believe SC is going to do better than other games of it's genre. To me it's just going to be a jack of all trades that, if you're lucky, will be a fun little game for a month or two.

We don't really care about his credibility since he's not the one selling $15k ship packages in a supposedly non-p2w space game. He's very obviously not the bad guy.

It will look like absolute loving garbage if you don't have the right people with the right pipeline doing it. It will look, in fact... a lot like Star Citizen looks. Is that why Gary had a pez dispenser mouth when he's doing his lovely speech? Would own if they end up redoing it, like Duke Nukem Forever but with cutscenes rather than engine or gameplay elements.

Has anyone thought about creating a kickstarter for a full feature length AAA Hollywood film about the making of Star Citizen where Mark Hamill can play Chris Roberts and also play Mark Hamill. And we can sell the dream of adding backers names to end credits for a small one time fee, but you better be quick if you want to see your name first on the list. Actually just get Mark Hamill to read out all the backers names in his "Old Man" voice with a black background and a violin playing. With maybe the occasional jpeg thrown in for posterity.

Fun just means it is a game, and that you can do game things. As opposed to non game things, such as word processing and Photoshop. Just remember that this is the first version of the game with more than rudimentary gameplay mechanics (walking, flying, shooting).

Bootcha posted:You're Wolf, Derek's Chains, KC's Dallas, I'm little brother Houston. And Legal is himself. I am okay with this. Also I'm glad you and fuzz are happy. ErIog posted:Sandi is a symptom of the problems over at CIG. She is not the root cause. Star Citizen might be slightly different, but still probably just as hosed as without her. Roberts dev history demonstrates this point pretty well. Sandi made sense as a marketing person back when there were 7 people on the project. Hell Erin makes sense when you consider his history. The problem is that CIG was a victim of their own success and allowed scope to creep to the point where it's this bloated monstrosity that means everything to everyone. That's a really, really bad thing to have happen when the primary quality that determines how good the game appears is how much money you've sunk into it. Fortunately most Kickstarters see that now and include an upper limit to what they'll promise. Battletech is a good example of that. Rad Russian posted:I have no understanding how all the reddit cultists defend Croberts spending backer money on useless $10,000 'artsy' desks and $5000 chairs that people have posted pictures of. How does this not wake them up? Even regardless of whether you agree that delays are acceptable or not, or what the stated vision of the game is etc. That stuff is NOT ok in any industry when your company does not have a released product yet. Sunk cost fallacy. EightAce posted:FROM CLOWN IMPERIUM'S WEBSITE Good job CIG, because if there's anything that says "we value our backers' it's loving them over with minutia. People love that, almost as much as they love it when they give you money in response to you declaring an artificial scarcity and then watch you go back on your word. It's almost as if the person in charge of marketing is a horrible, amoral, soulless husk of a human being with absolutely no regard for anyone.

All the stuff about Sandi might not be true, just throwing that out there. Given the sizable number of rumours you'd have to say there's an awful lot of smoke coming from her direction but The Escapist hasn't revisited the story so far. If it was all true that would be a difficult story for me to resist going back to, largest crowd funded game in history and all that. The next 6 months are going to be interesting. Will CIG show a new found confidence and commitment to rolling patches out to fix issues and add gameplay to 2.0, or will they half arse it as the sale period is over while more developers run for the exits? Tune in to Around the Verse, season 3 to find out.
