This is likely one of those people who did pledge but then quickly turned into a vocal swarm of hatred instead of wait a reasonable period of time for the game to develop. Probably better to not feed the trolls.

I think you might want to watch this particular video, Derek.

On the one hand, it's so boring at times that Ben is actually falling asleep. On the other hand, there are several moments throughout when Sean says things that suggest some concerns. They're all in the second half.

TRACY: "Star Citizen will be done. Someday. Someday."

Awkward pause.

LANDO: "Hopefully."

---

Another interesting moment takes place at 55:25.

TRACY: "Yeah. I understand that we're getting a lot of crowdfunding money, and it's going well. But not THAT well. And there is a waste."

Sleepy Ben wakes up and offers a weird smile to the camera at that point.

---

A bit later.

TRACY: "Now, I don't want to go too deep-- because I don't want to say something wrong and be like called back and quoted."

LANDO: "We're already going to be called back and quoted."

(Looks like you were right, Lando- first time for everything...)

---

Tracy seems like a likable, honest guy. I hope that doesn't mark him for removal from CIG LA. He's definitely going to have to learn to guard his disclosures like a good LA employee once he relocates.

I agree. The goons are just pissed that they got refunded because of Derek. And now that they see that it again was just total rear end from him they try to get a rise out of people hereExactly. They all pulled out as cig generously granted them the chance to get a refund, and now they've seen that we have 2.0 and Gary Oldman and now they can't believe their eyes.

Battlefield 4 is an absolute masterpiece of multiplayer mayhem and is probably the best $100 I've ever spent on a game with expansions. It was crap at launch due to server stability issues and whatnot, but it is now one of the single greatest multiplayer gaming experiences of the latest 10 years.

When Chris Roberts said that Star Citizen / Star Marine would be "as good or better" than the best multiplayer FPS games out there, that was when I KNEW he was completely and utterly deluded and insane.



I just grabbed this clip at random. On the one hand, it's amazing-- a guy is in a helicopter, piloted by a friend, and he turns and fires off a missile at an approaching jet-- which he hits right as it is about to collide with them.

On the other hand, it's commonplace. This crap happens thousands of times a day and this isn't even the kind of thing that really dazzles a longtime player.

Here's another example.

Guy puts a bunch of C4 on his jet ski. Rides it up a ramp, leaps off, and when it lands near an approaching enemy tank, he triggers the C4 and blows the crap up.



What is totally commonplace and unremarkable for Battlefield 4 will not, with $500M and 10 years to develop, be created by Chris Roberts. 64 player battles with multiplayer vehicles, destructible environments, squad coordination, and countless opportunities for some of the funniest in-game griefing and most epic kills you can imagine.

No matter how much money he's given, Chris Roberts could never bring such a game to existence. That he suggested it's part of his "to do" list for Star Marine shows you how completely out of touch he is with his own game, and with the industry at large.

You've convinced me to put up with Origin and buy this shooty mans game. If I buy the premium version do I get all the DLC?

Sean is not the good guy you think he is. Wait to see what happens in 2016. His brother, Dan, is gone btw. He was the one that insider reports said was being threatened with deportation if he didn't snitch. He chose to quit instead.

ps: It is highly unlikely they will fire Sean, since he's a key CryTek engineer. He will probably quit instead of sitting around to be fired.

Holy poo poo. If Sandi finds out he's even remotely saying negative things he's going to get the axe. Which is sad. He made Mechwarrior Living Legends which is superior in every way to MWO. It's just too bad it never got as popular and that "supposedly" PGI put some legal pressure on them since they own the IP right now.

Yeah. Plus they've added some free new DLC- old Battlefield 3 maps and "Night Maps" of existing maps in BF4. It's now like $40-- for a game that can provide hundreds of hours of laughter, amazement, and outright delight.

FWIW- I don't play Call of Duty games. Too arcady. The vehicular combat, squad coordination, and scale of environments makes Battlefield a far more strategic shooter. You'll spend the first couple of weeks agape at just how bloody epic the whole thing is- and then spend the rest of your hours laughing your rear end off and having a blast. (Unless you're protective of your K/D ratio...)

Though I have a pretty killer PC rig, I'd recommend playing it on the PS4 (if you've got one). Battlefield through Origin IS a pain in the rear end on PC; the multiplayer management on Playstation is a lot less hassle.
