The gun sights bug out, its a little laggy, and more importantly its literally impossible to kill the dude sniping (a one shot gun) and camping the flag you have to stand still at for ten+ seconds. People tried but could barely ding him.

Floating in open space with a Sniper Rifle/Laser is OP.

I think they lifted those hit pings from the UTComp mod for Unreal Tournament.

Also, lol @ that exhaust smoke coming from the sniper rifle for...no reason at all?

The first 30 seconds kinda sums up the whole vid.

Looks like a good start. Lots of graphics issues. Lots of z-fighting issues. Lots of data loading issues between sections. I'd be very curious to know how this will work in the game itself. Just sitting there stationary by itself in an empty room it appears to have a considerable number of problems. That won't get better when it's plugged into their game world.

I mean hell, Elite has been battling the PVP salt for how long now? Half the playerbase refuses to play in "online" mode for fear of getting griefed, and they don't even have the nifty feature of being able to run around and shoot guns at each other. There's a huge disconnect with the Citizens who all like to shout that goons demanded refunds because CIG wouldn't let them turn the game into an EVE-style greifing paradise, because even as it stands now Star Citizen is far more conducive to greifing than almost any other game out there, and in fact that's the only fun thing to do in the game.


Honestly one of the biggest things that will stop me from buying Elite in all likelyhood. I don't want to spend gaming time as someone else's amusement.

im loving the Titanfall 2 free multiplayer weekend. i may buy it based on how fun, fast, fluid and spiderman-y it is. coming to this thread and seeing that garbage video made me cringe so bad. i'm the giant goggle outline and hilariously oversized gun that takes up 1/3 of the screen.

This bugs me too. Xian is also the contemporary Chinese name for China itself within the country. What are the other alien races and what real life stereotypes are they based on?

The aliens that look like some animu bullshit (tevarin) are a feudal society that honors the art of war and follow strict and honorable code of the warrior where the most distinguished ones are known as warlords. They also do suicide stuff.

quote:

Originally the Tevarin followed Rijora (/REE-jorr-ah/), a warrior-code similar to Bushidō on ancient Earth.

their ship is the prowler, you know, the final fantasy ship knockoff.

I'm going to go with either that or "Mommy and Daddy and Uncle Frank want private time, so they buy me computer stuff so I will stay in the basement all the time. I can understand Mommy, Daddy, and Uncle Frank having fun together, but why do ALL of them have private with Shaggy, the miniature pony?"

You can just play offline if you want to avoid PVP. You can still keep all your stuff and play online if you change your mind. A better reason not to play Elite is it's still pretty boring after a couple of years of being out and a paid expansion. It's looking like they'll never manage to build engaging gameplay onto their pretty engine. I'm giving them another expansion before writing it off though.

Yeah it's really weird how developers saw no reason to continue pouring effort into supporting multiple gpu setups as manufacturers made better and better single cards and as games moved increasingly to the single-card consoles.


Almost as if they were interested in staying in business rather than burning cash by pandering to the dozens of people who think the fact that they can barely run Crysis 3 on three loving gpus proves how great Crytek are at engines and games.

I had an SLI set up about five years ago because when I got my computer it was cheaper to strap together two x60 whatevers than get a y70. It was a huge loving hassle and I ended up playing most games with it turned off simply because things would consistently go fucky any time I tried to get them to do anything other than dedicated gpu + dedicated physx.

It would be a cheap way to keep your GPU up to date if it worked right. DX12 is supposed to make it much easier to support but I haven't seen how that's panned out

I know, but something about playing a multiplayer (especially MMO) game in singleplayer mode always felt weird to me. And yeah, I keep hearing mixed reports. A lot of people love it, but a lot of people hate it.

Amazing, CIG managed to make snipers even less fun to play against than in most games.
