I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO BE THIS STUPID

BUT HERE YOU ARE

But that is conjecture, I'm talking about things they state as facts, like FAU deleted photos of Sandi and her kids near her house, or that TheAgent claims he works at CIG. They make this poo poo up all the time about lots of stuff that they claim was said or done here as fact. That cracks me up because it's all so intellectually dishonest. I feel nothing but contempt for these people. gently caress the whales and gently caress anyone that join in and throws money in this furnace at this point. Everybody has had enough time to catch up, I'm all for encouraging people to spend more. :getin:

Enough pussyfooting about poor deluded people, anyone still in deserves what is coming. Maybe they will learn something from it, but probably not. :shrug:

It's the worlds first faith based computer game, they're just lying for Space-Jesus. All religious cults do it and have always done it.

So the first shot comes out of the barrel and the second shot comes out of the hand grips?
How do you even screw that up? It's not a latency issue. Just. How?

Everybody is focused on the PU but what is really going to blow this poo poo up is when everybody sees anything from Squadron 42. Think about it, it's all so bad that even Chris is ashamed to show any of it in it's current state. I can't stop thinking just how terrible these Hollywood stars must look like in game. Sooner or later he'll have to show what he spent all that money on and it's going to be the laughing stock of the internet.
agreed. that it's been pared down from squadron 42: a full video game to squadron 42: episode 1 to squadron 42: prelude is a huge sign that it's hosed beyond belief.

Actually, it might be latency / animation sync.
The grip emitted plop comes out from the place where the barrel *would have been* had the horribly fakey recoil didn't lift it up a few frames earlier.

I hadn't even noticed that. In this high-fidelity everything-sim, they've forgotten how a shirt works.

Guys, buttons on the right side go through holes on the left side (or the other way around for classic woman's outfit) — you don't glue the thing together, and if you do, there's no need to have buttons sewed in to begin with.

MoMA your game is utter crap. So much for Chris Roberts' legendary attention to detail. I thought he was directing the placement and color of every single pixel by every single artist on every single piece of content?

He's a loving hack.

Might not be holes/buttons but those things you press down to attach that I can't remember the english word for. You know... those things!

It would still be missing the part where the "rivet" connects on the right side of the shirt.

I wish CIG would finally admit this whole thing's a loving joke and start doing campy holiday events in their "game" by filling the space station with a bunch of space turkeys or whatever. I mean obviously that would require them to have a patcher that works, but they said that was right around the corner like six months ago so it's gotta be getting close, right?

Anyway, if we're charitable and assume Chris has poor taste then they aren't missing a hole but just the other half of that thing. Easier to fix.

If i had to guess, the real reason it's like that is because some poor intern modelled it buttoned up all the way to the top.
Then, 5 minutes before streaming it, in comes Crobblers and says "He ummmm errrrr would ummmm should have urrrr more casual ummm and ahhhh unbutton it a little."

So the guy just deforms the top part with the collar and goes on with whatever the next idiotic thing he was supposed to model was.

But then they would end up with an actual working game, which would defeat the purpose.

I wonder how much it grates on them that everything they've said they'll do, loving Goat Simulator of all things has done it sooner, faster, and better.

It's a space shirt everyone , obviously technology has advanced enough where you don't need holes or snaps

Forget the fact the rest of their world is still stuck in the 90s with space ships slapped on top

Space mines , cockpit canopies that have worse visibility than planes we have now , information pipes, server racks, and let's not forget space pings from the space sonar
