I don't want to know when the "game" and the "movie" are to be released. I want the fresh influx of bitter Shitizens. I demand SilverBullet! Where is S/He? Will it take "2 weeks" for him/her to join us? Will we have to read in Dr. Smart's blog about it?

What weirds me out about the "safe PvP" whale insanity is their implicit belief that CIG are going to stick around and manage an MMO. Nothing in their actions suggests to me anything other than a piece of poo poo dumped out and a quick getaway to a tax haven. But these guys are all "CIG will protect me in my Space Second Life", seemingly able to ignore even just the PR disaster alone unfolding around them, less the complete absence of any infrastructure planning or long-term management. Servers will freeze, ganking opportunities are guaranteed because the game is like a swiss cheese of bugs, but most of all the basic attitude is wrong-headed from the start and dooms it to fail. Even assuming they do stick around for a while, no one on the evidence of forum moderation can seriously believe that this lot could manage the shitstorms generated by the average MMO. They would be completely half-hearted about it except for preferential treatment (clearly expected by the whales), and the whole thing become unsustainable very quickly. And the best part about that would be that the whales still wouldn't get that it was a pathetic sham. It will end not with a bang but a whimper. And somewhere, someone is learning from it and will launch the next whale-trap.

Xaerael posted:Dear newbies to the thread. We get you're here to hate on idiot star citizens, and dig your eagerness to mock a lovely community and a bad game. But sometimes people go overboard and say lovely things. Amongst these lovely things is hating on "batgirl" for being apparently trans. This isn't cool, and you're acting like a lovely redditor by doing so, and makes the thread look less like a comedic critique of a washed up has-been, who was given too much money, and more like a hatemongering platform for transphobic idiots. Well then. Right'o chap. Lets science the hell out of this thing. Because modern science. modern science.

A Loud Fart posted:Seriously, is Roberts hiding in the UK and pretending he's Englishman for 2/3's of a year to hide his company's malfeasance? 4 years in and they have nothing to show for SQ42, and wont have a game until the end of next year? And it doesn't concern investors, good lord I am in the wrong business! The Monkeys on RtV can't even talk about the state of any of their modules, or development, and it devolves into Ben scratching his dander ridden head and that whitebeard auto banning dissent. This is garbage, and there is apparently little recourse. Early prediction: 8 playable space missions and 2 FPS shoot mans. 2 Hours of mocap poo poo.

The still entrenched shitizens will just continue their delusions and believe whatever they're told. At this point, they're so hypnotized by crisp parpberts' "say yes to everything" cash extraction technique that they could be told a naughty dog stole all the jpegs, and they have to start from scratch, please send more cash to make your wildest dreams come true, and they would believe it. I honestly get stuck between laughing till my sides hurt, and despairing at the total lack of common sense and spending control.

I has nothing to do with the fact that she is a trap. Why would you hate that in the first place. Chicks with dick = best of both world. Seriously, I think "People are hating on her because she's a shill! Please ignore half of my post that is entirely about her gender"

Kimsemus posted:Question of the hour: Is there a development studio or team on the face of the planet that could pull of Star Citizen? Ok, few pages back, but I'm gonna try to answer this honestly. I've thought a lot about it. I'm not sorry about the length. No, I don't think it's possible to make a game of Star Citizen's scope today. It's not because game engines can't do it. It's because we lack the communication and dev tools required to break the art-code boundary. There's a huge problem in game design that's been there from the start: 3d art assets are tightly coupled to the code that controls them, but they are developed almost completely separately by people with very different kinds of brains. Artists operate in the visual control space. Programmers operate in the logical control space. These modes of thought aren't very compatible. This problem becomes magnified by scope, which is another word for complexity. The pressure on the art-code boundary rises exponentially with increased complexity. This is why simple games with limited scope have been hitting so hard, and why large projects with unbounded scope keep falling flat. Fallout 4 is a good game, but you can see right where the vision and the execution exploded and had to be walked back to feasibility. No one can deny CIG has brilliant artists, and very talented programmers. But we can all see what's happening: Some senior 3d artist takes specific vision for an asset and works hard, using every ounce of their technical and creative knowledge to build that asset. Then, through a primitive and largely un-evolved process, they "hand it off" to the engineers, who have poured out every ounce of their capability into a complex framework to control those assets, which meets the technical requirements. Without fail, when the engineers are handed the assets, they go "gently caress. Well, that's not gonna work with the system we've designed." So they hack apart their logical framework, or send it back to the artist to hack apart their visual framework, or both (usually both), and generally squash and dismember the original intent just to get the loving thing to work at all. Now, throw into this the third wheel, the "visionary," who sees this compromised end-product, and says "Guys, this isn't good enough. Do it again." The artists and engineers know that in a way he's right. He's just an idiot for asking for it in the first place, and not giving them the tools to succeed. But gently caress it, they're still getting a paycheck so they embark again to get it right, and end up make the same exact mistakes. This is the precise loop that SC is in right now, and the only solution is to reduce complexity. That's the only possible way anything will ever be playable. This is why Derek is spot-on when he says this game won't be delivered as described. But Chris won't do it. The bottom line is, Chris Roberts is a loving fool for having such hubris and ignorance. You think it's "revolutionary" to take every feature you think is cool and throw it in a soup?? That's the opposite of vision. A visionary sees what other don't, and everyone has seen what he does, and said "nope, that's a terrible idea, because it's not feasible."
