Please tell us more about how an apple falling from a tree doesn't demonstrate gravity, but rather the effects of gravity. I mean I'm as skeptical as the next guy about this whole thing, but let's be real here.

e: holy poo poo why are you fuckers posting so fast

It's not rocket science when your primary work is based on AI. The power of reasoning and deduction cannot be understated. So, here, let me help you with the heavy lifting:

Bad analogy on your part btw, but I'm in a playful mood, so I will indulge:

1) this is an apple. TRUE

2) this is a tree. TRUE

3) this is gravity: FALSE // unknown entity at the time

4) this is an apple falling from a tree. TRUE

5) there must be an unknown force acting on the apple as it falls, pulling it to the ground.

6) this unknown force is called gravity*

the "apple falling from the tree" experiment i) proves the existence of gravity ii) demonstrates the effects of gravity

quote:

* the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account.

Back to my point:

1) He never - NOT ONCE - said this was 3.0. Not loving once. <---- this is the part were you focus all your brain power so that once comes next, makes more sense

2) Stating that "this is what is coming in 3.0" != "this is 3.0"

3) While "this is what is coming in 3.0" == TRUE {"this is 3.0" != "this is what is coming in 3.0"}

So there is no "underlying" force|evidence (as in the case of the gravity deduction) to indicate that what was seen at Gamescom will somehow be in 3.0

I just want to know why Star Citizen is still in development. We were promised a spectacular crash and burn where CIG was going to run out of money and the game would be canceled. What changed after those damning articles across the internet that questioned Star Citizens development?
I think a lot of people were surprised by how deluded and stupid the core whales actually were. It was a more optimistic time.

Also probably some very clueless outside investors.

Guess what else is coming in 3.0:

Bugs of poo poo that you'd never expect because the game is a janky mess, which makes all the accomplishments go away.

But if you spent $2000 on the game you'd have less money and no tangible benefit in game, surely you should consider buying some jpgs now while it's uncertain if the game will exist? If you wait too long you'll be able to get them for free and this would be bad.
In an interview today Chris said ships will cost a lot more at launch than people are getting them for now.

So yes, buy in while you can! Like Chris said, a pistol costs 500, and an aircraft carrier costs 12 billion, so, um, you know, like, the scale might be slightly different but big ships will require entire teams of people doing team missions (there are large scale team missions now) to afford.

I don't think you really understand - if the game comes out and delivers what they're saying they'll deliver, I'm going to buy it and play it. No poo poo. I think a lot of people here would. I don't give a poo poo about "being wrong". I'd love to drop $60 on a crunk vidya game.

For real, I want to actually play what they say they can make. It sounds great. I don't think it's gonna happen, but if it does, poo poo yeah boi. But I'm not dropping a dime in pledge/donation/purchase/preorder on the current trajectory of this thing.

I don't think it's fair to assume that we're all here in some kind of "war" where the failing of SC constitutes a "victory". At least, I certainly am not treating it that way. I'm here to laugh at this clusterfuck until it either goes under, releases something that bombs, or releases something that kills, and go from there.

Who is sadder out of these three groups.

2) Reeking rat ogres on SA who have spent months, if not years, obsessively making GBS threads over development of same space sim and harassing a woman for reasons which I don't care about. Making tens of thousands of posts about something they don't like. Hours of their lives on this poo poo.

yeah, what they fail to realize is that if star citizen disappears, we lose nothing. if star citizen is an actual game and is good, we gain an actual game that is good.

LOL!! Yeah, pretty much. It's just so painful to watch.

It's amazing to me how Shitizens are claiming "victory" over a scripted demo based on wonky R&D. Like the games were suddenly delivered. Even as they conveniently ignore/forget that CIG have done this same very thing many times before and NONE of that is IN the game right now. Shitizens wanted "something" to tide them for the next 6 months. then come Dec 2016, they're going to (again) pretend Gamescom 2016 never happened. Meanwhile, they're completely oblivious to the fact that NEITHER Star Citizen now SQ42 is a 2016 release & BOTH will be 2 YEARS late in Nov 2016
