Uncle Derek, have you been suffering from sudden sharp pains on any parts of your body recently?

Holy loving poo poo that's cool. I gotta get this game. As soon as I get a decent computer to run it, haha.

It's actually quite optimized, in that you can run it on almost anything if you fiddle with the graphics settings. And still not make the game look like complete poo poo.

Also, it's a very good game for VR.

You can get at least 40-50 hours of enjoyment out of it (more if you play with/make friends), then get bored, and log in after 3 months or so to test the next update (it's still under active post-launch development).
It's a pretty niche title though. For someone like me (played all previous Elite games) this is a no brainer, but many people have trouble enjoying the game for what it is. A very well crafted but wanting in content and complexity sandbox with impeccable sound design and an old school Elite game design.

If my CEO decides, for some reason, that he wants to cast Gary Oldman in a 3-second commercial, in the end that decision is going to come down to money. If he wants to pay 5 million dollars for that, more power to him. If he does so, and asks me to "direct", because why the gently caress not, that does not mean that I get to parade around the world claiming "I directed Gary Oldman!" Yet that's precisely what Chris is thinking. He didn't cast those people because he wanted to make a high-quality game, or for any of his backers - he did it for two reasons:

1) To fulfill his fantasy of being a "real" director
2) To get his wife "acting" alongside real actors

He failed on both counts. No matter who you "direct", Chris, you will always suck. Your wife is not, has never been, and will never be, an actress. You lose.

In fact, it's worse than that. Using my aforementioned hypothetical commercial, if I have a famous actor with tons of experience, I'm not going to do much as a director. I trust they know enough to make an excellent appearance, so the less I meddle, the better the quality is likely to be. Now look at the "performance" Chris got from Gary as Admiral Bishop. It's an awful performance. Think of this - Chris doesn't just have no talent - he has negative talent. He wrung a bad performance from a good actor. That's taking failure to a whole new level. That's like having over $100 million dollars and some of the best talent in the world across several countries and still not being able to make a working tech demo.

It's going to be worse than anyone thinks, except those people at CIG who've seen it. You'll know which people those are if you meet the staff - they're the ones with the thousand-yard stare. Did you ever see the Twilight Zone episode (the original series had it, and it was one of the stories in the movie) with the little kid with godlike powers who was holding his family hostage? That family is CIG. Chris is a juggernaut of poo poo - the only options are to get out of the way, or get covered in it.

I actually think the concept of SQ42 (a long-rear end interactive movie) can work- it just would need to be so groundbreakingly impressive on the levels that Half-Life 2 and Avatar were, which I don't think CIG is capable of pulling off. I'm talking like full-VR integration, photorealistic scenes and characters (and not in the Cryengine sort of way, but in a UE4 ArchViz kind of way), like something so balls to the walls "~immersive~" it's beyond anything anyone has ever experienced before.

It's one of those go-big-or-go-home type things and who really believes CIG can do that?
