Sillybones posted:Are these people unaware that people can lie to them? Maybe not everything they say on these 'open development' videos might actually be true. I can't even work out how they get into this mindset considering just how many times CIG has failed to meet up with their statements. Double-think layered on double-think. It is mind-boggling how much blind trust they put into everything. 'Oh, he said there will be pants making GBS threads for food poisoning? Makes sense, I am going to join the Space FDA!' Its like they've never dealt with the outside world where people don't always tell the truth. Not to mention this has been a pattern for years. This isn't a recent development. The only thing that makes me sad are how many other projects are deserving of the funds rather than this one. Otherwise these people deserve to lose their money. It is cruel to say, but if you are this stupid and arrogant while maintaining your ignorance and your only arguments consist of down-voting and logical fallacies, you deserve what is coming to you. You know, they say it jokingly, but its something I believe will actually be true.

I dropped like 140 bucks on lifetime pass for Elite Dangerous over the summer, and every time I feel bad about it I look at this thread and see what people have spent money on and who is in charge of that money and I'm always like "boy, spending that much money on a video game isn't nearly as stupid of an idea as it could have been"

Toops posted:There's a AtV episode where they interview the animators, and they say flat out they basically spend most of their time writing scripts to matchify different disparate mo-cap data, and schmear it all onto the moving target that is the skeletal rig. As of that update, they were on v9 of the rig. http://imperialnews.network/2015/11/around-verse-episode-2-08/ Some real gems in there. quote:{person} works on animation for Star Citizen characters. As they use motion capture {person} helps make sure the animations sync up with the in game skeleton. Taking massive datasets of Croberts mocap diarrhea and trying to munge it into something usable? I don't wish this job on my worst enemy. quote:A lot of work goes into retargeting and making sure animations are correct. The V7 Rig compared to V4 for example has a significant change in terms of how the accuracy.(sic?? siiick) Making sure that character’s arms and legs are not clipping and having them seated correctly in chairs and etc. One of the issues they had for awhile was two actors could be the same height but their legs or spine, etc may be longer or shorter and this caused issues with reach. Now they have a system in place to standardize everything. This was especially a problem with ships as you need the character to be lined up perfectly so they are able to use the hud and see outside the cockpit the same way another person would. They also make sure that there is variety in animations as having the same one for everything would be boring. This is a massive undertaking, and just one of the infinity reasons why game designers don't loving make games of this scope.

Scruffpuff posted:I enjoy reading Octopode's posts to be honest. They're just pure emotionless data as he understands it. I'm not really concerned too much about whether or not he's right - it's just entertaining to have our very own Commander Data pop in at impossible to predict intervals to drop these sentences that read like they're part of a user manual for an unknown device. And the hell of it is, he is right sometimes. Does everyone just give him poo poo because he takes CIG's statements at face value? At this point I'm perpetually behind by a ways, but wanted to say this exactly, please keep posting, Octopode!

I myself went through all 7 stages and I never put in a cent, it's very easy to get caught up in this game.

And like...I don't quite care which madness wins, just so long as it'll be mad.

In my spare time I like to read really stupid poo poo. These are words from a future god/soul entity (lol) about cults that really struck me as describing Star Citizen: **** 'The inner mechanics of emotion and belief are complicated, but these are individuals who feel that physical life has failed them. They are powerless in society. They think in black and white, and conflicts between their emotions, and their beliefs about their emotions, lead them to seek some kind of shelter in a rigid belief system that will give them rules to go by. Such systems lead to the formation of cults, and the potential members seek out a leader who will serve their purposes as surely as they seem to serve his.' 'When people are convinced that the self is untrustworthy, for whatever reasons, or that the universe is not safe, then instead of luxuriating in the use of their abilities, exploring the physical and mental environments, they begin to pull in their realities - to contract their abilities, to overcontrol their environments. They become frightened people - and frightened people do not want freedom, mental or physical. They want shelter, a definite set of rules. They want to be told what is good and bad. They lean toward compulsive behavior patterns. They seek out leaders -political, scientific, or religious - who will order their live for them.'

It's not possible because revealing what people are actually getting would murder CIG's revenue stream faster than you can say "web of lies". Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Now this is interesting The problem with Chris's Vision is that it resets every time he blinks. Mirificus posted:
Yes you dumb gently caress, he's upset because they're not giving him private servers when the game is released. Because you know what? That's what they loving promised. Along with drop-in drop-out co-op. But you know why nobody really bitched about losing that other feature? Because the number of people who give a poo poo about Squadron 42 is insignificant compared to the vast number of autism chariot driving ur-spergs who have dumped thousands on their own personal Star Wars fantasy generator. And incidentally you're not getting a full single player campaign. You're getting one third of a full single player campaign, worth supposedly around 20 hours of gametime.
