MMD3 posted:Thanks, someone just linked me to this post. He's got thousands in ships, you think he wants to admit he's lost money? It's like ebay, you can list poo poo at whatever price you want, doesn't mean anyone is going to pay it. You might get $350 if someone is stupid and to be fair there's no shortage of stupid Star Citizen people, but personally I'd just be happy to get my money back at this point. List the upgrade + the colonel as two items, basic colonel is more attractive than a ghost colonel for some reason (or at least used to be) but you still want the guy to hopefully throw in the extra credits for the upgrade, or keep it to melt it for a cheap basic package once the colonel sells.

 This is me when I try to play Star Citizen. Voting for this to be the default avatar of any true believers that show up. Rudager posted:I was playing Elite this morning and in the middle of killing some NPC's when the power went out for about 2 seconds, I was worried that I might have lost some bounties and have to buy back my ship for a few thousand credits, imagine what it's going to be like when that happens to someone in the middle of a dogfight with their fancy Idris? I can't stand the place for more than 5 seconds but if some brave person could go on safari to the SC forum and find someone who has both complained about Elite being a boring grind and advocated grinding in Shart Shitizen that'd be lovely.

I grabbed horizons and made the mistake of talking to my starvangelist friend about it, and his argument that elite was a bad business model for charging 60 a year for expansions and content was somehow better then star citizen's jpeg sales got brought up again. he talked a mean game about 'useless grind' as well.

Cross-chassis upgrade, downgrade, melt chassis, unmelt package no uec store credit, rec, LTI tokens. What the living gently caress is this bullshit. How about somebody over there make a loving GAME?!?? Literally none of this manifest except some cardboard and paper and plastic merch hastily folded and scrawled upon by the tired hands of a Chinese child. What the gently caress happened here? Is this how it feels when you're watching an important moment in history unfold before your very eyes?

peter gabriel posted:What Chris is doing is systematically putting things into the game that the rest of the game dev world learned were poo poo ideas and systematically removed from their games a long time ago. This. And it does give me a bit of concern, particularly with how many review site now handle things with kid gloves. Ideally I'd like to see the "game" get panned for exactly this, but it's just as likely to set the industry back.

MMD3 posted:Okay, I made the mistake of posting the response I got to my refund request on Reddit. I honestly intended for it to be informative, didn't realize I effectively through a stone into a hornet's nest and I got poo poo on as much as I probably deserved. The reasoning that CIG gives for not providing refunds doesn't even apply to countries with stronger consumer protection law. For example, it is illegal to display a sign saying ''No refunds after x days" in Australia. You are entitled to a refund if it isn't delivered in a timely manner, doubly so if it wasn't delivered in the time-frame indicated by the seller . From what I gather similar provisions exist in the EU. The argument that they 'used the money' could apply to literally every transaction. A retail outlet spends money on rent, a clerk, a POS terminal, etc. That poo poo costs money too. Providing refunds in this situation is the cost of doing business, and should be factored into your overhead. That someone wants a refund because you failed to delivered is completely reasonable request. The cult is plainly wrong, and is suffering from serious cognitive dissonance. That they are the type of people who stand against companies like EA for financially exploitative business practices makes this extra hilarious.

EA is bad because they tricked people into paying for and enjoying their products. Or something. I don't loving know how they rationalise beyond that.

Watching that Morrow poo poo again I noticed a lot more pop-in and general ugliness and what looks like kind of fucky transitions between takes. Like they had to splice it together for whatever reason. Maybe they couldn't get it to run all the way through without crashing. And the scripted things like Chris saying "oh hey go look at the engine, totally spontaneously!" are so transparent. I wonder if they thought they were being clever or just knew it'd be enough to fool the idiot cultists.

Everything about that just felt wrong. They spent so much on mo-cap and they have such lifeless characters who don't even make proper eye contact most of the time. Their flat dialog doesn't help either. I saw this in the comments:  If you think that's how real people act, then you are a shut-in who has not interacted with another person face-to-face in decades.

Kind of reminds me of the intro to Doom 3, 11 years ago. Or Half Life, back in like '97. Honestly that kind of "theme park rail ride to show off the engine and do exposition dump" is kind of gauche at this point, no? Just get people into the action.

The Kins posted:It looks like a screenshot from a Youtube video compared to high-res/promo images. That's exactly what it is. I wanted to find a higher-quality image, particularly due to how washed-out it all looks, but for some reason CIG didn't think it was necessary to do any promotion for this. Which strikes me as really weird. I thought SQ42 was important? You'd think they'd put together something of a bit higher quality to put out there. Which leads me to believe that there is nothing of any higher quality, because knowing how CIG operates, if there were, we'd have seen it by now.
