Also, how is ship stealing / owning going to work... "dunno - too far away". You have entire packages based on pirating, how do you have no idea, even at a very high level, of how the basic mechanics of stealing and ownership are going to interact? I've worked at 5 different game studios on 9 different AAA games and I have never seen such disorganization nor lack of idea of how the very intrinsics of the core meta-game mechanics of your game are going to work after so many years of working on the "vision"... as has been said so many times already, this is either all exclusively in CRs head, or they are making this poo poo up as they go along. This will not end well.

Unfunny Poster posted:They keep asserting there's an ulterior motive by Goons for pointing out CIG took less harsh of a treatment towards that recruitment video with pedophilic content. What that is, other than holding CIG accountable for consistent moderation, is beyond me. Well, we're prejudiced against the peadophile part of the SC community, y'see...and those are some valuable customers, unlike you unwashed refund-havers.

I think my favorite part of this whole fiasco is that they're not just selling a game, they're attempting to sell a service, but there are no plans to maintain month to month income. Once this shitshow releases, IF it releases, and people get a whiff of it, do they really think they're gonna pull in as much money as they need to keep the lights on and servers running? So not only are autists funding a non-game, they're not even going to get something they can play by themselves once the servers go dark. It's a total money pit.

Now the community manager just said they won't even think about it until after going live. And nobody is calling them out for it. You even have assholes saying they don't even want private servers. I figure it's just a preview of future things. I fully expect CIG to crank out a mediocre game in SQ42. Then they'll update the PTU to add a bit, call their legal requirements done and the leaders will vanish. Meanwhile, the fans will continue to assume this is what they wanted, and it will continue to improve. They will convince themselves that this was perfect, exactly as promised. No one ever wants to admit to themselves that they bought the steel from the Eiffel tower.

Berious posted:Is Alien Isolation worth playing? Humble Monthly has it at the mo. Get it. It's one of the better sci-fi survival horror games that's been made. But it's nothing like previous AvP games. Weapons are more-or-less useless in this game, it's a game of stealth. There's an abundance of atmosphere in the game, and it's incredibly pretty and very tense. Think Amnesia set in the Aliens universe, with an incredible engine. It's also really well-optimized. I was able to play it on my lovely five year old laptop.

My boss just said something about how people ought to play video games to stay out of trouble since they wouldn't be breaking any laws or spending too much money. Apparently, he's never heard of Star Citizen . . . though, to be fair, that's not a game anyway.

That's another thing - Chris doesn't have a loving "vision". His vision is "everything." "I want a space game that has everything." Numbnuts, that's not a vision. Anyone can sit there and say they want a space game with space pirates and space rape and boardings (but not pvp god-forbid) and immersion and just say "yes" to every loving idea brought up on 10FTC. Anyone can do that. That does not comprise a "vision." CCP had a vision, which is why EVE has a unique story and mechanics backed up by that story. George Lucas had a vision, which is why Star Wars' setting is stylistically iconic. Ridley Scott had a vision so clear the universe they built has been growing for decades, but remained consistent to that vision. Chris has no vision. He just wants "stuff." Generic "space stuff."

I still wish that Star Citizen would become a real game   https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/6229922/#Comment_6229922 Also, Alien Isolation is a good game - I actually got to play it with a Rift and it was legitimately scary the first few times the Alien caught you.

You know the Commodore 64 version of Aliens was probably the last time I played a good video game adaptation of that second film. I wish I were kidding. You'd think it would be so easy to make. Each time they announce a new Aliens game, like an rear end I hop right in, and get blasted in the face with disappointment. Alien Isolation, however, was excellent. My only complaint was that it ran a little long. Normally I don't mind a long game, but around the 75% mark I stopped caring about the alien or anything else, and it became a slog. Still wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who likes a game dripping with atmosphere.

That's true enough. I think it's maybe more a case of wanting to see more of the world and not letting that sweet engine go to waste. It could conceivably be fun to do what it did but more in respect to Alien³: even fewer or at least more rudimentary tools, but more friendlies to do stuff with and using the environment as your main “weapon.”

Alien Trilogy for PS1 was pretty okay, even if it fell into the vanilla "run backwards and shoot stuff" playstyle for a while. I enjoyed Isolation but what I really want is a great Aliens game, which I fear will never actually be made. Maybe someone could reskin Dead Space 2?

I don't hate this guy because him saying "one of the five of us will be dead" before private servers are released is just funny as gently caress.

I've honestly never seen something like this. It is the dumbest, most sycophantic community I have ever seen in my life. It combines every bad quality of fanboy into it along with the mentally ill. It is laughable that Chris and Sandi think they somehow cultivated this rather than bumbled into it. It reminds me of people who think they are financial geniuses because they effectively won the lotto and then act surprised when they end up dead loving broke a few years later. That's why this is pure schadenfreude, these people are some of the stupidest, most vile people around and there is nothing that makes you feel bad when they eventually get theirs.

I honestly never cared much for the private servers, so I am indifferent (apart from them breaking their words). Drop in co-op on the other hand for SQ42 - screw them for going back on their word when it comes to this.

IMHO, this is the top list of things CR (as of these days) cares about with SC/SQ42: 1) Success 2) A gaming classic 3) Directing Hollywood talent in a script he's co-wrote 4) Space ships 5) Immersion 6) Hollywood noticing him again 7) Depth 8) Art and ascetic 9) Functionality 10) What everyone else thinks of him (fans/press)
