The bulk of their deployment consists of some 20-odd .pak files, most of them 2 GB each. Since their patcher doesn't actually patch anything, just compare local versions to server copies, AND since each release they change nearly every .pak file - net result is a 20GB "patch" each time they make an update.

Roberts has a story credit on III but two other dudes (the same guys who wrote WC4) wrote the actual script of III.


Erin Roberts is the only reason Strike Commander and the first Privateer made it out the door.

I'm not entirely sure that's an argument in his favour. I suppose both actually work well enough and they did get released, but Strike Commander in particular could have used the other side of executive production: “that's an awful lot of work and excessive hardware demands just to get something that's worse in every way than Falcon 3.0 — no-one really cares about animated talking-heads cutscenes”

There was a deleted scene that revealed Hobbes as you knew him was some sort of personality construct, with the real Kilrathi double-agent in him being awoken by a phrase used by Prince Thrakhath (main Kilrathi bad guy) during a broadcast to your ship.

Tenuous and convoluted, but it worked a bit better than "the guy you flew with and trusted for years was just joshing you all along". I don't know why they cut it.

Slightly better, but it really only replaced a stupid character rewrite with a plot hole. If they had him on some subliminal nuke-Blair programming, why not activate that a decade earlier when he was gunning for the emperor's flagship? Oh sure, it's the most convoluted assassination plot ever and someone wants the emperor dead… so why not activate Hobbes the instant that plan succeeds?

Does anyone actually understand their logic on PTU build numbering? Ignoring the whole 2.0 thing for an alpha, the patch notes from 2.0x to 2.1 are bug fixes and a new ship which for some reason means they went up a version number and also make you download the whole client again. :psyduck:

Their logic is to lie for marketing purposes. A real game reaches "Alpha" when all the game systems are completed and functioning, and you can see what the whole game will look like when finished, but when no comprehensive QA and bug sweep have been completed. A real game reaches "Beta" when they believe they have fixed all the bugs - then it will either go to closed or open playtesters for another bugsweep. Then they go "Gold", ship the game, then we all download a 6TB zero-day patch because nobody gives a poo poo about QA any more.

SC is not a real game, so they call a minor tech demo an "Alpha", then they stick 2.0 on it because even people's grandparents have learned from lying marketing assholes in every conceivable product sector that "2.0" is the equivalent of a perfected product.

You need to download the client every patch because they have gigantic .pak files and their patcher can't properly patch binaries. So you have to fully redownload each 2GB file every time they change something. It's not even a patcher really - it just compares your files to theirs and makes you download every file that doesn't match their published version. Since there are only around 200 files in the entire installation, the bulk of the game is the 25 files in the Data folder (30GB total), you can see how you can suck up internet bandwidth real quick whenever a new .jpeg needs lens flare added.

It was finally Christmas, and all through the day,
Not a Goon was shitposting; not even Eonwe.
The Goons were all feasting, and filled with great cheer,
In the hope that more Baby Pu bugs would appear.

The White Knights were nestled all snug in the 'Verse,
Defending Chris Roberts while gameplay got worse.
Sandi in fake tattoos, seeking attention,
Shed crocodile tears at a dumb nerd convention.

When from Awful App there arose such a clatter,
I rushed to my smartphone to see what's the matter.
I picked up my Samsung, quick as a flash,
A shitposter? Here? Was it Karl, or Seraph?

My excitement built, then as quickly departed,
A scrub-tier Star Citizen had said "You're Retarded."
A cacophonous clatter; Goons started to shout,
All chiming in to yell "Gryphon, :frogout:".

When what did my wondering eyes just then see,
But an internet warlord, Derek Smart (M.D.).
At the shitposter he scowled "Get thee hence."
"By the way, goons, please purchase Line of Defense."

His brow, it then furrowed. His eyes had a gleam.
His knuckles were bloody (from a vending machine).
He glanced at his refund from CIG's store,
And girded his loins for an Internet War.

"Come MeLKor, come AP, come Neurotic Jew,"
"On Beer4TheBeerGod, and Loiosh, too!"
"On The Escapist, Peter Gabriel,"
"On Sarspariller and on G0RF as well!"

"Reveal now how CIG's on its last legs,"
"With costs that outstrip income selling jpegs."
"With a toxic community, gameplay that's poo poo,"
"And a janky old engine that's 32-bit."

The Citizens rallied, and began to bash Smart;
"Our game's in development, yours is a shart!"
Smart said: "That's no matter! Your point here is moot!"
"Just wait two more weeks 'till I file my lawsuit!"

Then the citizens faltered; as since the reveal,
Of the 2.0 update they'd lost some appeal.
They were stared in the face by the reality,
That they could lose ships when they're in PVP.

They stood there confused, and posted with dread:
"This game was much better when all in my head!"
They saw just how poorly the game had been coded,
The community fractured, and quickly imploded.

Arguing increased as the game took shape,
Equivocating that to gank was to rape.
"Piracy? Murder! Fighting shouldn't take place!"
"I'll lose my Idris if there's battles in space!"

They turned on their own, and then started to brawl,
Some arguing fiercely "No combat at all!"
On the merits and downfalls the carebears did harp,
But to Goons, Merry Christmas, and to all a good :gary:PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP.:gary:

Imagine dropping 2.5K on this hack's POS "space game" while visions of being a space pimp dance in your head.

Then log into any version of the PTU. Very few people would not immediately get a feeling in the pit of their stomach that something is horribly wrong.

It is my firm belief that the furniture is so expensive so that when CIG goes tits up and liquidates, Roberts will be able to offload the furniture and keep the money.

Also 300 staff will cost about a million a month which means they're probably running another million a month in software and hardware costs which means they will probably last until at least April if they had 11.5M at the start of this month as Derek's 'sources' have said.

MeLKoR posted:

In my short, days long, presence on reddit I've been told that people in one instance (orbit) will be able to see and bomb people in a completely different instance (planet surface). How? Who knows... I've been told that you can't track anyone all over the server to repeatedly grief them because of instances man but that simultaneously it will be trivial to track a bounty/pirate using spy cameras that can follow him through whatever instance he's in. How? Who knows...

I'm going to try a new approach with cultizens, instead of focusing on how terrible CIG is which always devolves into discussions about DS I'll try a more constructive approach of getting them to actually think about the insane gameplay ideas they have, see where those ideias lead and why they'll never work as they imagine them. Maybe if they reach the conclusion by themselves that none of the poo poo that has been promised has been thought through some of them will question the rest. More likely I'll just be downvoted to hell.


e:

These are my first direct interactions with cultizens outside this thread. I know I shouldn't be so naive but...

We have our differences but I can confirm that those who think there's been any indication that you can bomb people from orbit are indeed delusional and making poo poo up. Also the separate instances only generate when there's too many people in one area to support properly.
