So I tweeted this private link last week for the XB1 trailer of LOD Tactics that's releasing this Fri. And sure enough, a bunch of retards have been down-voting it. And they wonder why we're at war.

No. Star Citizen is a horrid design for a "game" and I have yet to find any redeeming "gameplay" qualities in it. But the graphics are nice. Glitches and all.

I tend to innovate in some shape or form with my games. So if something isn't interesting or worth admiring, I have no interest in it.

Over time you've mentioned some stuff your games include but I don't think we ever had any sort of feature list. What sort of cool/innovative/unique stuff did your games include that you were either the only one or the first one to have made?

It can be both gameplay and cool programming solutions.

PS: poo poo THAT WORKED. Not just an intended feature but stuff that actually worked and was not horribly bugged.

All Glory unto the Stimpire. Give up your arms and legs and embrace the beautiful agony of electricity that doubles in pain every second.

I was wondering if their responsibilities have changed with the alteration in their nomenclature. Such as the S42 bit offering people the chance to 'pre order' rather than pledge and so on. While I imagine on some level that all roots back to the TOS it seems like that can't be the case across regions that have more robust consumer protection laws. If you're offering to sell people a pre-order that can't be expected to be treated in the same fashion as a crapshoot pledge.

I am curious about how CIG would vanish. If Chris Roberts could just walk out the door one last time knowing that they're approaching the red and decide that he doesn't want to try to push forward while going into negative numbers that he would be accountable for, if they'll just slow down the train and let the lights flicker out one by one as the funding keeps trickling into a project that has long since ceased to have a chance of succeeding with all remaining effort going into packaging things up to find someone to buy out the company in exchange for a final golden handshake and retirement to mocap production.

This looks a lot like suffering.
You know with thermonuclear missiles and faster-than-light travel it's not really plausible that there would be any sort of prolonged conflict in space.

Also it's pretty non-immersive that you'd have a spaceship with no anti-theft features whatsoever. A 5 year old has more security with the lock on her diary than a Shitizen has on their UberChariot.

Wow that guy must clearly have a history of infractions and have already been warned, hit by a 24 hour ban, hit by a 7 day ban, hit by a 30 day ban, and then finally ignored ALL of those warnings and done something else in violation of the forum rules!

Oh wait, he got warned that his next infraction could be a permaban. Yeah that's exactly what the rules say. At least he knows which moderator is loving with him; I didn't even get that courtesy.

The vanduul ships are absolutely ridiculous and put the lie to CIGs claims of any sort of fidelity in ship design. For the love of god look at that center of gravity, why the gently caress would you cripple your ship like that to put a wing :psyduck: / blade :psyboom: on it?

All the candy you want. Crotton crandy, crandy apple. I like to go on the best ride first. Name of roller croaster.

The devs just dropped into the Alpha 2.0 chat to hype up a patch they may or may not release tonight. Patch would fix random physics grids with gravity that were spawning out in open space. Supposed to be "alot" more stable, better FPS, and they said they had fixed one of the worst offenders for crashes.

That's what's been clear to everyone who has a brain from the beginning. You've got big guns, but you can't really attack more than one target at a time.

Looks like they were too lazy to do LOD states with it that they just used the actual full res model. Now imagine if you had 20 types of missiles, all having varying models and textures. Its gonna be so good that your 980ti can't handle it.

Oh come one!


By the time this game comes out the 980ti will be a relic and we'll have 16gb graphics cards.

Chris Roberts is planning for the future, and the fact that you don't understand that is a clear display that you're a goon and a troll.
