Whales will argue that metacritic scores don't matter while sending death threats to the reviewers. there will be some "What went wrong?" articles that are really soft ball and nothing will really happen.

If SQ42 does indeed take until Q4 2017 things will be quite interesting this time next year. Given their current cash flow, they are really going to be in a world of hurt when you are eating through 2-3 million a month in reserves.

Also citizens literally no one in this office thinks sq42 is coming out 2016 (or early 2017). Literally no one. People are actually a little afraid now of the backlash affecting their careers. Ive even started logging all the poo poo i do for the game to cma. Theyre working on some trailers and some vids for the cons. I saw a bit of one. Actually looks pretty sweet if you know jackshit about SC. No gameplay Unless foundry is hiding it from all the other studios (they arent), what you see in the PU flight model and FPS wise is the StAte of the Game

Levantine posted:I, for one, am glad we have Star Citizen to save us from Big Publisher games and their constant bugs, micro-transactions and long delays by giving us hilariously constant bugs, macro-transactions, and infinite delays. They just said they would do what the big publishers do better, not that you would like it. You need to refactor your expectations. Also I'm glad that we are all part of some kind of intricate, elaborate and well planned conspiracy to make Star Citizen look like poo poo at all levels because the only other explanation is that Star Citizen is poo poo at all levels. Our greatest ability is [platinumaccess[ to psychically possess members of CIG and make them not work, steal art, waste time and say retarded poo poo with our astral projecting. LOD is the Key. Hail the Old Gods. kltrklf fffftt kkfffllll[/platinumaccess]

ManofManyAliases posted:Nothing - just here to chill; shoot the breeze. They fired you for that one, huh? And you still signed the NDA? That was pretty daft, even for someone who doesn't understand even basic law. ManofManyAliases posted:Which financial documents have you seen to give you such confidence in your statements? True enough. He's low-balling the costs based on what competently run studios of similar size have to pay. CIG — and in particular the executives at the top — will not be nearly as disciplined as that, especially given the structure of the companies involved.

![]() ![]() The Final scene of Squadron 42 leaked! You can even see Sandi, and I'm pretty sure that's Andy Serkis hanging upside down. Watch it here before the inevitable takedown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URcvdDtnM_0

I've read in a few places that CIG might or is already starting to be a black mark on resumes. When Lionheart collapsed other companies were setting up shop in the local pub to lay out opportunities and job openings as the employees there were highly regarded because of the company's history. I'm not sure Roberts is going to cause the same thing, and a novice company that doesn't release anything before collapsing, or releases something that's universally panned isn't going to be a big gold star of products shipped. Also absolutely log everything for your tell-all after the fact!

Not releasing anything would be much better. That could at least be blamed more on the management rather than "Random Grunt #40." However once Wing Commander: The Movie 2 releases and everyone loving hates it then your resume will say "You see that blank eyed actress terribly reading terrible dialogue in an ouroboros of poo poo? I helped animate those scenes that are worse than "Final Fantasy Spirits Within." Once there is a lovely, awful product out there it isn't going to matter if you are a talented person that tried to make Chris' Roberts steaming dog turd look better and honestly tried your best / did fantastic work with what you were given. You are still saying "I helped make THAT" and THAT is now something that can be judged and reflect back on to you.

1500 posted:Picked up Overwatch, really fun game, although I have not played a PVP FPS for like 5+ years so boy do i suck. There are characters that don't require aiming, seriously. Winston's lightning rifle damages a cone in front of him and he's a hoot to play. Symmetra seems weird at first but her primary fire is like a TF2 medic beam that deals damage and ramps up the longer you hit the same person, plus she provides a ton of utility to her team. She can place up to 6 tiny, concealable turrets that damage and slow enemies (good for denying flank routes, distracting people while you and your team kill them or as an early warning system) and charging up her right click lets you spam slow moving dangerous balls of energy that pass through shields so you can break up formations, stationary defense and zone people. Her ultimate is a teleporter, highest value at last point on Attack, or the first point on D.

Its impossible to keep everyone on the same page and when i go home i wonder if all my shits gonna be hosed up when i come in the next day. The answer is yes. If it was a normal office theyd come talk to me before we continued but when you are in england or germany you have to just work and hope its ok. This goes both ways
