Ok, I know we're all cynical edgelords here. But I have to admit being impressed with the possibility of what could be with this game. I just snuck on board a connie with three other players (who seemed to know each other. Two were un-ironically calling the other guy "commander" in chat). At some station I was able to EVA and see these guys moving around inside the ship, I got back in the ship and took the driver's seat. As I was ramming their ship head on into another connie I could see the crew members of the other ship running around inside of it. Pretty impressive. And i can't screen cap. Just pastes a black screen.

^ ^ I felt exactly that way about 1 year ago, when Arena Commander was finally unfucked and you could play it with your buds. But...by this point I've long since accepted this is all just carrots to make you forget what a turd the company is that built it all and how long they took for just this much.

Can't ships be spawned on demand or something by players right now? Why do they get so mad when an enthusiastic pilot scrubs all the landing pads clean?

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Million Mile High Club Screenshots What do you expect ? Robert's space nerds are actually deeply conservative people, if you give them some 5th Element or Blade Runner style costumes, you will have them whining forever on the forums about how stuff is unrealistic and not practical. Anything but a plain tactical vest and fingerless gloves is not considered space-cool by these idiots.

I think the blank screen screencap is something that happens when running games in fullscreen borderless windowed mode, fwiw. (I don't even remember if SC offers this as a video option, but anyhow.) I also agree that seeing the premise is super hype-inducing. Over the years of watching roberts in action though I just have no doubts that he will gently caress it up and turn the whole thing in to a terrible shithole of awful game mechanics, whether it's because of appeasing carebares at any cost, or thinking that something like DRINKMASTER 5000 is a good thing to have exist in your game.

Dapper Dan posted:And there is no way to group with your friends so you have to pray that you end up in the same server. Apparently if everyone loads into their hangar, press f11 or something and forms a group, when one group member launches into the space camelot the others will see his instance and can load into it. Not tried it myself but that's what someone said.

Hav posted:Ben Lesnick is fat -2.0 went fully live and it was like:  -Lots of fat shaming of Ben because during a livestream of him and a few CIG employees watching Star Wars he walked by the camera someone screenshotted him from the side blotting out the sun (Ben, I kid). -Nothing new about Derek except more of the same, no lawsuit details, other than it's coming, DS predicts 11 million is left in coffers and they will be insolvent in Q1 2016, won't divulge anything more -Wesha (a CIG whale to the tune of 32k) is against laws preventing sex with minors (i think?) and is a creepy stalker, but I had to be a creepy stalker to find this out  -No karl, no octopode, no seraph I can think of in a while, but we get the occasional apologist who calls us virgins -Loiosh, Space Pollyanna in the flesh, came around and is actually thinking of getting a refund after CIG utterly failed to convince someone who was, for all intents and purposes, an enthusiastic backer who really wanted the project to succeed, with 2.0, as it is an unmitigated bug filled grief fest... was in over $1,000 deep from what I recall, but correct me if I am wrong Loiosh!  -Griefing is out of control in the 'verse. Many threads on CIG and reddit on how to deal with them (like RL execution/lifetime bans) when RSI sold a pirate pack for you know, piracy but carebears are saying that is only to match the 'verse lore, not actually pirate stuff. -Kamikraze Org started a ramming revolution and is growing in leaps and bounds. Citizens are terrified, and it's not goons doing it, it's their own... -CIG devolving into eating their own, wheels coming off, promises broken. -The Million Mile High Club can NOW BE ACCESSED BY ANYONE, thank you reddit, by altering game files. no one was impressed, incoming whale tears. - Sandi changed the bouncer at the MMHC to a white dude and got rid of the black guy for reasons.

Sicarii posted:Oh hello I'm new If you have the $35 Kickstarter package like me, I wouldn't ask for a refund. (Unless you say "$35 is a substantial amount of money for me and I can't afford to lose it." but then you should re-evaluate your decision to back stuff on Kickstarter anyways.) If you are in $100+ then get a refund and rebuy the cheapest package once something substantial actually gets released. The game itself in its actual state is not worth wasting your time on though. But you keep the ability to have a look at it now and then (its funny in its own way) and browse the forums unhindered. It should be mentioned that the game delivers quite clearly on the meta level: The hilarity and madness surrounding it in this forum, CIGs forum, Reddit and various other sources like D_SMARTs blog and articles in magazines like The Escapist will have you laughing for days (and crying) until tears will turn into blood and you will start talking in tongues. Hail Satan!

Sicarii posted:Oh hello I'm new Derek Smart is a massive liar who is jealous because his career in gaming was nothing more then a wet fart. Star Citizen is on track to be hugely successful. All of the claims about this game being dead, mass lay offs and people walking out, have proven to be wrong. I use to be in the camp that believed Star Citizen's development was going to fail in spectacular fashion, but nothing at this point supports that belief. I will still only buy this game once its retail though.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Frankly the whole direction they've taken the clothes is so depressingly mundane it continues to bug me. It's 900 years in the future and the guy is wearing a vest, tie, and black latex gloves? I always thought game design would be a really cool opportunity for folks to take risk and see what kind of interesting designs people come up with if given total freedom. I mean Hollywood is full of costume designers; you can't contract them out to go wild with some concept art? It's about as unimaginative as the ship designs. I look at the stuff that was done in the Hunger Games or Mad Max and wonder what people could do if really given the freedom to play around with it. I really wish Erin had a stronger hand in that, got nice and drunk, and went back to the hilarious wardrobe and absolutely bizarre styling of Privateer 2. That game was crafted to follow in the highest tradition of made for TV science fiction drama and it absolutely reveled in it. SC looks like someone thought that the wardrobe choices from EVE's character creator are great, could do with being even more conservative and mundane. Then add on the incredible fidelity of adding extreme skin pore texturing to the NPC selection from Half Life 2.

I said come in! posted:I will still only buy this game once its retail though. I feel like everybody has made good points, "investing" over 50 dollars is an interesting personal decision since your're probably taking orders from moon men, and I'll try to grief people and fly around before I decide on a refund. Which I wont, because I don't care about the Canadian Currency any longer and roberts probably wont give me euro bucks. Also I'm controlled by moon men. Hail Lunatica! Tippis posted:Coincidentally, that's roughly the same distance as the radius of the baseline restructured grids in EVE online. Of course, most grids are now a lot larger than that silly baseline — travelling 20–30Mm before losing sight of other ships on grid is commonplace, and the always well-populated Jita 4-4 grid requires a 70Mm hike to escape. Oh wow, last time I played I think the grid ended at 500km. Or something. Sicarii fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Dec 15, 2015 |
