Thanks to GORF I bought Battlefield 4 the other night, I am glad as well, it;s a really cool game. I am working through the campaign at the moment, it's good.

Can someone explain why a charge-back is worse than getting a refund through CIG?

HookedOnChthonics posted:people were talking earlier about benchmarks for considering sc a success, some suggesting 85 on metacritic. i think that mark is overly demanding and furthermore completely arbitrary, and instead suggest sc be judged by the current market leader in persistent space-mmos with multicrew walk-around-your-ship functionality and planetside shooty bits and what not, star trek online. That has a 66 on metacritic, which i feel is a much more reasonable goal for star citizen. Rebel Galaxy has 75, and Elite: Dangerous has 80. You are right that 85 is a bit high for a niche game, but 66 is not exactly a bar for excellence. And if Star Citizen can't beat Elite: Dangerous, citizens will commit seppuku.

TheLastRoboKy posted:Assuming it's not in direct response to a tweet you've made recently, with the way the creepers like Karl and Gryphon keep flipping out about your "open letter" to Sandi as well as running tattling to the community about you and others I wouldn't be surprised if it immediately got back to her and she's been getting increasingly mad about it ever since. It's not like they can do anything about it though, you're already probated for a substantial period of time so blocking you on twitter would be about the only "win" they can manage. She's actually been incredibly polite to me with a recent CS request and I can't remember the last time I ever brought her up. So maybe it was awhile ago and I just didn't notice.

That shield effect at the start does look pretty awesome. Time and again I see really good animation and rendering that went into Star Citizen, though I'm reminded of the e-mail from one of the artists saying that Chris Roberts likes to randomly reject previously-approved art assets and order the artists to do them over again, because he suddenly decided he didn't like them anymore. I'm sorta hopeful that this kind of animation work makes it into a different game after Star Citizen collapses. Alternately, on the off chance that Star Citizen actually is released as an actual game with an open-PVP fuckyou universe, I'd happily hunt pubbies all day to see their pretty shields failing and their fancy ships disintegrating into scrap. If they didn't want players to randomly blow each other to hell, they shouldn't have made the explosions so beautiful

peter gabriel posted:I have had a Rift since day one and there is no way, noooo way this game can be ported to VR as it is, it is impossible. I raised an eyebrow when they announced they will be working on vr support for this. The ground work they have done re-rigging the player model will help toward getting a consistent view for VR, however, there will not be a suitable GPU to run it for at least a few years. The standard 2D client would need to be able to run around 180-200 fps to get the 90+ fps x2 render targets required for "presence". The only way around that is if Crytech have developed revolutionary instancing techniques in their engine. They would be far better off designing the meshes and UI for VR and leaving out actual hardware support until Squadron 42 releases.

D_Smart posted:There will never be a VR version. Period. End of story. I agree, if any of you havn't used a Rift then you have to understand that any time the camera is pulled away from your control you feel sick, very very sick. So everytime you get out of bed (wtf) or get in a ship, or any other number of things you will feel physically unwell. It's a horrible feeling. You can't just do those scenes where Gary Oldman is making a rousing speech, you cannot have camera pans like that, you'll throw up.

DoctorStrangelove posted:Can someone explain why a charge-back is worse than getting a refund through CIG? Worse for the customer or worse for CIG? Basically most places require you to try and get a refund from the company before you do a chargeback. If a chargeback is successful CIG would not only lose the money the customer paid them they are also charged a fee by the credit card company. That fee can range from a couple of dollars to a hundred depending on what their chargeback/transaction ratio is.

chargebacks do not hurt you, per say. they do require a little-to-a-lot of wrangling with the cc company, but usually as long as you can show you attempted to get a refund a cc will go ahead with the chargeback. where it gets tricky as i understand is 'does the cc then tell cig you're asking for a chargeback' or do they simply issue the chargeback. if the former, cig can pull legal shenanigans, i think? im not too sure. I know i made sure to politely and calmly ask for a refund before trying a chargeback, so that i can at least tell the cc company 'yes i tried'.
