But seriously, the more I see/read about that Gamescom presentation the more clear it is that the whole loving thing was a massive fraud.

Like, there is absolutely no loving way that will exist within a publicly released build around the December 2016 timeframe. Look at 2.5. Just look at it.

I'll give Chris Roberts credit though - for once in his life he actually rehearsed a presentation. I imagine he spent weeks locked in a room with the "game players" getting the timing down to fake everything convincingly. Or he had someone speaking to him in an earpiece saying "countdown to fake wave emote in 3... 2... 1..."

90 is fairly normal for a reference GPU under load. My 980Ti was definitely hitting that in the summer, before I changed the cooler.

They are still struggling to explain the difference between NMS hype and SC hype.

Years ago I did the math based on what little we knew and the estimate was around $4 per hour of gameplay. Meaning CIG expected people to pay $4 to skip an hour of playing time. WoW was closer to sixty cents.

4$ per hour means that it offers 6.6 times more fun, joy, happiness, community, camaraderie, and bliss, than WoW.

SC hype is based around explaining away literally every facet of the Alpha until nothing remains but the black void of space, therefore SC hype is more grounded in reality.

I have this sneaking suspicion that Ben's lack of oversight over the project and what people are working could be due to the fact that once he's finally gotten into his office room, he seldom or hesitantly leaves it again during the workday due to different circumstances of which I can name none right now.


Mercury_Storm posted:

It would also be really unsurprising if the people he works with have some level of contempt for the dude, or view him as an annoyance. From what I understand he got the job for being "Chris Roberts Fan #1", and I doubt he has to put in nearly as many hours/as much effort as the actual developers.

The guy never leaves the lunch room unless it is to shoot an episode with Sandey or to get to the toilet.

Whoever put more hours into SC than NMS has a serious issue.


Do you honestly believe Star Citizen will be much different than it?


Other than other human players, what really differentiates SC and NMS? Missions? Classes?


The base games are the same, but SC is "prettier" whereas NMS is "artsy".

NMS has gameplay and multiple game mechanics and a game loop that leads to an end-game. That's a pretty huge difference.

Apparently, regardless of the bandwidth setting you set, the downloader will attempt to open all possible connections your network can handle. Which means that even limiting the download speed using the in-patcher settings menu won't help you. Instead, there is a torrent config file that can be edited to limit the number of active connections the patcher can use.
