This is not a joke. It looks and feels like an amateur Crysis mod. Ship handling is awful and the FPS parts feel much the same as Crysis. The only bit of it I've found comes close to feeling right and fun is EVA. If you run and jump off the side of a station it's not only pretty cool but it has the right amount of mass to the movement. On an unrelated note, did you ever play the zero G sections in Crysis?

There's a video somewhere where they demonstrate the shield system. If I recall correctly it was a touch screen and you could drag your finger around it like an ipad.

Scruffpuff posted:Elite could use a bit more design variety, but I generally agree with the idea of a consistent design, so I can't fault their conservative attitude in that department. The ships in Star Citizen all look like they were designed by different people working in different companies on totally different kinds of games, then all thrown together in the same space. That's because Elite has a cohesive vision for a game universe, and Star Citizen is being managed by a guy who changes his mind on a whim.

Without being harsh or overly critical Star Citizen is very bland looking and feeling, it' the kind of game that is like Hard Reset, it's OK but nothing there that screams its own identity. Like you see a screenshot of Hard Reset and it'll take you a while to figure out which game it is because it looks so generic, compared to say, I dunno, Borderlands where you know instantly what it is because the creative direction is good and it's really identifiable as being Borderlands. The walking around feels a bit odd, sluggish I suppose, there seems to be a micro lag with every input, especially jumping. The flight model seems to be outright missing, it feels the same as the walking, ship mass doesn't seem to affect anything. There is an obsession with everything being clicked to 'use' from many many buttons to chairs to doors to ladders (wtf) - everything requires your input and is usually followed by a lengthy animation that takes control away from your character. So the action of say walking through a door and going up a ladder becomes a loving dull rear end in a top hat of an experience the second time you do it onwards. But to me more than anything it's the blandness, the loving dullness of everything. The game is so preoccupied with creating a realistic immersive experience that the fun is missing, it's just not there - there is no joy to be had. I'm going to do a really idiotic comparison, but gently caress it why not. I've been playing Disney Infinity with my son, the new Star Wars one. It is a loving blast - questing, space ships, sci fi all that bollocks but it's expertly wrapped up in such a way that it grabs you by the scruff of the neck and drags you along on a really really fun ride. It IS a stupid comparison, I know that - but it is a great example of a game made with a vision by a company who know what they are doing, and it's a night and day difference, Star Citizen feels ridiculous and soul-destroying bland in comparison, it's woeful. It's also not a sim, what is a loving sim about it? It doesn't simulate anything. I get that sims are straight faced, I play iRacing for fucks sake, I understand the difference between iRacing and Mario Kart - one is a sim the other dumb good fun, the problem with Star Citizen is it is neither a sim or dumb good fun, it's just 30gb of 'meh'

Indeed. They've added a few more similar looking ships since release (Imperial Courier, Imperial Cutter).

PAAARP is now integrated in the game.quote:It has come to our attention that some players are experiencing a severe audio distortion bug which results in extreme volumes. This has been reported to happen after prolonged play sessions of over an hour or so. We are looking into the issue as a top priority but we are reaching out to ask for help in providing as much information and hopefully video evidence of the bug occurring.

If there are any other lurkers reading this thread wondering why goons keep ridiculing the developers and fans of this game. Watch this video. The man featured in it is in charge of its development. Also there's a complimentary hobo-santa.

Seriously, which space game do you prefer when it comes to the ship models? To me SC's ships are by far the best so far when it comes to visuals. As for the blandness in the game in general - I agree and I can't figure out what's causing it, it could be the similar-ish colour scale in all scenes or the horrible blurryness, not sure. But if you take the ships themselves in an isolated environment they look fantastic!

Maybe CIG is playing the long game?

peter gabriel posted:The ships look great but they just are blandorama and dull Come on, this looks fantastic:  The ships are distinct and several of the ships from the same manufacturer have a similar design style (Retaliator and the Vanguard for example). What I don't get is why they look like a grey blurry mess on a darker grey blurry background in-game when flying. BTW, for (imho) pleasing ship design besides SC, I really dig the ships in the Homeworld games.

T.G. Xarbala posted:But finding out the real name of an internet stalker is not exactly on the same level as trying to incite people to harass the family of someone who criticizes a developer of a game they like. And that guy with the personal vendetta against dsmart had a long loving history of pulling this kind of thing. He actually doxxed Bootcha and stalked him in multiple places, only stopping when his harassment drove fuzzknot to the point of threatening him with physical harm should he try escalate his crusade against Bootcha in person. And by all rights it looked like matilda2013 was willing to go that far up until she put her foot down. I have no idea if Karltilda even saw that post. My guess would be no, otherwise he probably would've harassed/doxxed me as well, but then again, he did quit posting here and left Bootcha alone after that. I know Bootcha can take care of himself, but gently caress it. Nothing makes me FLIP MY poo poo like somebody picking on Bootcha.

Just have blobs of shining lights or something, concrete triangles with hamburger engines, raccoon shaped cockpits with vaseline windows and poo poo. I don't really care, what pisses me off is 'OH HURRR HOW ABOUT A B-1 LANCER WITH MORE FINS???'

Iglocska posted:Come on, this looks fantastic: I am not specifically for or against the star citizen project, but that just doesn't really look all that great? It cribs heavily from existing aircraft designs that don't seem to make sense in space, and I'm assuming it's also for atmospheric flight or those fins and swept wings make no sense, and just in general it's a big pile of lines and panels that doesn't really have much to say. Your comment of it being a "grey blurry mess" is accurate, but it's all the time, not just flying. And why are the turrets mounted in such a bad place? Why wouldn't you want turrets on the sides, to be able to fire at the widest possible angle?

Some of them slip into a kind of 'generic sci-fi' style but I think the bigger problem is there's a real lack of cohesiveness in the rest of the game. So so much of it is just "near future sci-fi" and it really drags down the look of some of the more interesting ships. Port Olisar looks like it could have been cut out of any generic space game, and there's no reason for it. They obviously have a talented art team, but for whatever reason chose to go with "tube with spinny rings that we don't need" instead of something that says "We've been to the edge of the galaxy and humanity is thriving in space" and looks unique to the universe.
