Fargin Icehole posted:Alright, trying to find the actor's access page of her, I want to show my brother why something like Sandi acting with A-List actors, and comparing it to Joe Kucan directing and acting as Kane with actors in the Command and Conquer days is incomparable. Joe Kucan was already working as a producer with Westwood when C&C1 was made. He was tapped for the role of Kane as a guy with acting experience who could look menacing in front of a camera. The FMVs, of course, became one of the best and most fun parts of the C&C series and he went on to build an entire film studio inside Westwood's offices in Las Vegas but he still worked as a producer when the cameras were off. Plus of course the C&C games were actually released, were greatly popular, and made vast amounts of money. He runs a theatrical company now. He came out of retirement for the later C&Cs.

You could make no helmet at all and have the dude's head encased in an energy shield, the main thing is to make it look cool and not completely stupid. I like cheesy stuff but even if you wanted to be completely serious about it you could make literally anything work instead of making lame and bad space marine/dead space armour for the millionth time christ the journeyman project II jumpsuit works better as heavy space armour than whatever that abomination is supposed to be

The card sold for $10 (providing you spent $1000 lol), they have to process the order, arrange shipment, pay for postage and paid support has deal with nerds complaining about their precious limited edition bit of flat metal being bent. $1 is about what they actually cost to buy one, stop being stupid. The image is funny because someone spent at least $1010 to get a card and a valuation of $1.

Truthfully as with many things in Star Citizen, it's really only a tiny slice of very vocal haters that make the noise, most people are much more reasonable. But here's a few things I've done that made people mad Haha, that's pretty extreme and quite funny. You showed/talked about KSP crashing and being buggy for literal years and that was a beta and that was okay, but this holy grail can't be tarnished with this blatant unedited and untampered footage. illectro posted:* having a computer that's too slow and making SC look bad because of this (i7-6700K + 980TI + 32gigs). This is good computers specs tho isn't it? I don't know enough about specs, but i know 980TI is "new".

It's not that big of a deal It really seems to be the standard pattern that, whenever CRobber says something on the theme of “this is all new” or “this will change everything,” what he actually means is “I remember seeing this thing in a game back when I was last in the business (i.e. 15–20 years ago).” Erenthal posted:I know we joke around about it, but it really does seem like it all comes down to CR not having played a game or even looked at one since his glory days. He comes up with these brilliant new features, not realizing that they have been around in games for years and years, or have been discarded as bad ideas already by the industry. There's that too, sure, and all that is sad in its own way, but there's just this other weird undercurrent where he keeps trying to “(re)discover” ideas that he was around to see during his active period and pawn them off as new and amazing. The amount of not being aware of what was happening in the industry he was in while he was still in it is just staggering, and I'm not sure whether I prefer that level of ignorance as an explanation over him just lying through his teeth.

Contrast this with Unity 3D, where you can create a main body object, attach 4 wheel objects, plop a controller and camera into the main body, then assign a mesh to all five of the components (presumably a car body mesh and wheels) and have a functional vehicle.

I wonder if other developers find this laughable, when Croberts is going on and on about revolutionizing the video game industry by doing things that were accomplished in the 90's? Actually I wonder if a lot of backers fall into this category - guys that haven't even really played video games since Wing Commander and Privateer - it could go a long way to explaining why they are so amazed about everything SC related.

It takes some skill to straddle the fine line between enjoyable cheese and outright badness and the C&C cutscenes nailed it. Joe Kucan owned that role. From what we've seen of Sandi she lacks even a fraction of his talent and if the Oldman speech is any indication the writing in Squadron 42 is going to be dire. Actually come to think of it the early C&C titles might be the only games where I never skipped the cutscenes on a replay because they were so fun.

I am certain it is the case that the backers are just in the same boat. Or more cognitive dissonance and doublethink. They are really good at that. What bothers me about it is these are people that are meant to love space games but haven't really bothered to actually play the multitudes of them that are available. Recently there is a crazy number of them released and coming.

The best thing to come out of this thread for me personally was a renewed interest in Elite Dangerous, which I'm finally starting to learn the ropes of. It really seems to indicate that it isn't space games per se that these people care about. People have pinned it on escapism, but that doesn't hold up in my view, because there are too many immersive (real immersion, not unskippable animations) games out there that more than fulfill that role. It has to be something else. They've managed to tap into some primal poo poo in these backers. I think it's a combination of: - Nostalgia - Hype - Opposing critical thinking - Isolating members and penalizing them for leaving - Seeking inappropriate loyalty to their leaders Oh wait a minute, that looks familiar.
