If they have nothing to show, I'm not sure there's enough for people to touch in order for it to get worse. This is amazing.

Hiding behind "NO SPOILERZ LOL" is pretty loving weak. There has to be some generic poo poo they could show - walking down a hallway, some generic dogfighting, I'm sure someone's climbing a ladder - their refusal is amazingly transparent. The only conclusion is the one everyone ITT has reached - there is nothing to show. Amazing.

Actually I can think of another reason they're not showing SQ42 - it loving sucks. And Chris is using the same reasoning that he's using for the PTU - with enough effort thrown at it, it will somehow magically morph from a completely poo poo game to a fantastic game. Because that's how development works - you create poo poo, open studios around the world, throw 100 million at it, and then suddenly the poo poo turns to gold.

. SQ42 will not be a good game even if part of it is released at some point.
They just have more money than people think, so wages will be paid and mo cap endlessley 're shot for a while yet.

SQ42 is fundamentally poo poo. It's a poo poo movie , hybrid with a poo poo game with poo poo tech, poo poo lore and a poo poo script

Assuming this is true because they found some idiot bank to loan them a gently caress load of money, once the true scam is revealed the big financial backers will start asking for their money back I bet

So I guess they'll have to return the limited edition porsche and sell the mansion

- SQ42 is ALL interactive fmv with the odd dog fight/basic flight mission.

But in each case, including your example, seeing yourself gives good gameplay feedback, and is worked into the game well. In Star Citizen, the animations stop you dead in your tracks and leave you with nothing to do but wait. It doesn't inform or improve the gameplay, but interrupts it. Chris Roberts is really doing everything he can to ignore every lesson learned by game developers over the last decade or so (including how and when to use these types of animations) in favor of what he imagined them to be back in the 90s. Every time I've logged into the game, it's like a gaming time machine. Each thing I see in the game (animations taking control away, head bob, motion blur) makes me think, "Oh yeah, I remember this - and I remember when they finally stopped loving doing it. And here it is - back, and sucking more than ever."

That there is the problem He is not ignoring anything. He never learned in the first place. He was so busy making movies he never bothered to check what is going on in the game world. And neither did his most ardent defenders among the cultists. They live in a land made up of memories of gaming past.

I think I know who Gorf is but won't go public about it as that's not on.
If he's who I think he is he has done business with some of these characters before. I could well be wrong here and if so apologies to Gorf.But I'm talking a long time ago

I havnt been contradictory just vague sometimes, this is for obvious reasons.

People have the right to be sceptical and that's fine. I can tell you some things, some things I simply have to stay silent about and other things I don't know. Someone earlier asked if Erin was in a bar buying everyone drinks : I have no idea I'm not there. Knowing Erin that is most likely true though.


I understand the need to be vague, but things like saying Ben must be respected and obeyed but F42 is using :lesnick: internally.

I WANT TO BELIEVE.

I assumed he meant Ben is paid lip service but mocked behind his back because that's usually how it goes when a company contains an Important Retard like someone's nephew or something.

SQ42 is going to be a terrible nongame, and Roberts is so bad at management that the only way the terrible non-game takes less than 18 more months to finish is to focus on it to the exclusion of everything else they've promised.
