The only context is which this would look good is the plot being a retelling of the operational history of USS William D. Porter.

While he's passing through the crate like it ain't no thang, there are these weird light flashes on the door behind them. It really helps sell the idea that we are in the 'verse. Maybe those are Sandi's photographers.

Scruffpuff posted:I wonder if I'm the only one who wants her to just go away. It's not like Chris can produce a game with or without her, so it's not really related to that. It's just this completely unnecessary Yoko aspect that it adds to the whole shitshow. She doesn't really add to the humor value, she just gives me a nauseous feeling in the pit of my stomach every time she shows up. The rest of the wacky cast of this reality show is fine. If this were The Walking Dead, she'd be Lori. http://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/escapist-article-on-star-citizen.28029/page-3#post-393651

Remember when Transverse had "flight" and "combat" as stretch goals and failed to accomplish either I applaud Chris Roberts for avoiding scope creep by also omitting these features

Get out soon, SC developers. Elite has failed to deliver, on every count, the spectacular comedy element that Star citizen has. They appear to have put actual accountability, deliverable milestones ,game development,decent design, production values, bug free content and immersive playability above classic slapstick and farce unlike CIG. At no point have I been given the option to give frontier development $15,000 dollars for some .JPEG's. I cannot watch a very ,very. very fat man, lie to me each week on you tube and nowhere is there the ability to talk about space rape, keeping slaves or form a racist space gang with my autistic pal's. I am very disappointed with Mr Braben and he should definitely take a leaf out of Chris Roberts book if he wants to keep me entertained ,thankyou very much.

Since Sandi is being compared to Yoko, and Yoko didn't do any harm, then Sandi isn't doing any harm. I didn't realize the transitive property automatically applied to the targets of analogies. Fair point they make, though - Sandi is not analogous to Yoko. She's worse.

A Neurotic Jew posted:Star Marine remains a sore spot in 2016. It should remain one, too, as nobody actually appears to want to play the game. We have a number of 'shooting in spaaace' knockoffs, from the one that Derek keeps building, through Planetside 2, which was dumped by Sony as a money-making concern. Angels Fall First is probably the best current example outside of PS2, and it's struggling for people. LoD and AFF are the only real space-to-ground here, but I doubt that CiG can handle seamless transition, but the FPS market is saturated to gently caress and back.

Although I did an early $45 pledge, I've more than gotten my money's worth of joy ramming bigger ships off the launch pads than I have in other games of similar cost. I've been following this joke on and off for years now. Once they started putting those stretch goals in, and I actually read and understood them, I felt something was off. Then when they started to put in the huge fully Photoshopped documents like "healing your spaceman" I thought, OK, this is definitely heading into scam material. The Derek Smart/Escapist fiasco just made me wake up to the fact that I was not alone. Then I found this specific forum. Bullseye.

Will your dude in SQ42 be faceless or will they have a character generating tool? Looking at the regular no name dudes makes me think that yes maybe you could make a rudimentary character because they all look like garbage anyways. But then you look at the A list cast (plus sandi) and their production value is way higher, no way would they let you look like a garbo character next to them.

Truly though, I've been a lurker on Something Awful since Lowtax started calling out Anarchy Online in 2001. I watched from the sidelines as goons engaged in joyful wreckage in EVE, thinking, "these guys get it." I just had to scrape together $10, and these things take time. I should have Kickstarted it.

I might sign up with you guys, if I manage to stick out the game for a few more weeks.

It's still a vast heffalump compared with the others, so comparing that the foothill should be much, much larger doesn't really stress my point. I acknowledge the accuracy of the figures, though. It's hugely popular on the PS4, which has it's own continent.

I backed Descent Underground early, but seeing as it was STILL impossible to bind a HOTAS (and there is no "reset to defaults" for when it shits itself) last time I booted it up it's unplayable for me. A shame, because it looks like it has real promise. Why would anyone want to use a Joystick in a Descent game?

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:My favorite part about the whole comparison is that Elite is judged on what they have delivered while Star Citizen is judged on what they have planned. That's what really boggles my mind. How the gently caress do you even judge anyone on promises in modern gaming? Are you so stupid to have ignored the massive amount of lies and failures, outright fraud bordering on criminal (I am looking at you, Aliens: Colonial Marines. It's like they promised you a Ferrari, but what they gave you was a fiberglass Ferrari frame built around a Ford Pinto) that developers and publishers have pulled? What about great developers who simply overstepped and had to alter things when they encountered unforeseen obstacles? (Dark Souls due to their inexperience with the PC platform had massive graphics downgrades and 'The Witcher 3' had graphical features it had to scrap because of the limitations of consoles). To simply go, 'Oh, he doesn't have an evil publisher, only evil publishers lie!' is such a retarded statement. Peter Molyneux, Richard Garriot, Tim Schafer are three just off the top of my head to have blown massive smoke up people's asses and they were not associated with publishers and have hosed over their customers. And even they didn't have the bold faced audacity to sell imaginary ships worth thousands and tens of thousands of dollars. And then they have the loving balls to complain about ED for a $60 expansion pack. Anywhere outside of their echo chambers they would get torn a bloody rear end in a top hat, which is why all dissent is squashed on the SC forums and downvoted on reddit. Its also why you see them scream and cry whenever an article comes out and they get hosed in the comments section. Or the hilarious posts of when they show other people Star Citizen and they go 'Yeah, I'm never paying for this' they simply cannot comprehend why. That's why when I say Star Citizens are stone loving dumb without critical thinking skills, its not exaggeration. It is the stupidest gaming community I've ever seen, bar none and I've played MOBAs. You simply cannot look at the industry and rely on promises anymore, this isn't 1995. Anyone who buys into SC at this moment in time is an idiot unless they are doing the cheap seats. You have to go by what they've accomplished, which is a tech demo. It looks pretty, but these aren't the days of Crysis anymore where people will go nuts over a pretty, but empty game. People want something more, and having a unique art style and aesthetic is more valuable than having bleeding edge graphics. Dapper Dan fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Jan 4, 2016 |

I think it's an interesting situation, in both cases you are kind of talking about features that aren't there. Elite has the bare minimum in terms of gameplay to be called an actual game, but the basics are as stable and solid as they get. People do like to daydream about the moment it will be fun once it gets some decent content (missions, a real economy, player interaction, etc). Star Citizen is similar in a sense that some stuff is there and people daydream about some promised features showing up in the future. Sadly for Star Citizen one of the those features that isn't there yet is the loving core gameplay.

Also, I'm pretty sure the $60 Elite expansion includes the base game (and I think you get a discount if you have the base version so it's not really a $60 DLC).

The thing is for as much crap as ED gets for being shallow, the systems are there. You've got a sturdy metal frame and some drywall. Its not going to fall in on itself and the developers have said they've made a decade long commitment to develop the game. Star Citizen is being built by an autist who is trying to build the Winchester mansion out of driftwood and Elmer's glue while he tries to push furniture inside of the frame, constantly knocking poo poo down and eating the glue that is holding the joints together.
