Oleyo posted:It legitimately annoys me that everyone points to this when showing stuff that's "never been done before". Its not impressive to walk around in a ship that is moving. It would be impressive to step out and float along gently with the ship, even if you were screaming along at thousands of m/s since your hardly moving wrt the frame of reference of the ship. So it fails to be unnecessary fidelity, and becomes an over-engineered yet prosaic feature, while also being wrong. And the wrongness is the least offensive part. Wrongness is great in scifi if you are doing it to have something fun or interesting. My Kerbal Space Program story; I started playing the game with very little idea of what was going on, so I killed a lot of my pilots early on, relying on scientists to do the flying. When we finally made high parabolas - orbits were slightly out of reach - I started the science experiments to earn some sweet cheddar from Big Environment on Kerbal. One of the experiments you can do is EVA, which is fine, because you have a ladder that you can hold onto. So my Kerbal is hanging onto the ladder heading towards apogee, when I find out you can move up and down the ladder, until I fall off. it's surprising how quickly that separation goes from a couple of inches to a couple of meters simply from the impulse of leaving the ladder. I actually got quite anxious. I had to pause and feverishly look up the EVA thrusters, then manuever the Kerbal back onto the ladder before things got a bit hot from re-entry. $15 and emergent gameplay. Star Citizen can't do that.

Hopefully the tide will continue to slowly turn. I don't see how it couldn't, but I also never would have predicted them getting millions because of their last stream. So I am continually surprised!

Daffan posted:[INSERT ANY CIG IDEA TEXT, LIMIT 96 CHARACTERS] was an idea they came up with on the spot to placate the players, without thinking through how it would be balanced or actually work in the game - so they've pulled the plug on it IIRC. FTFY

Sandweed posted:We get that a lot in Warframe, everything in that game is designed as a 4 player coop game (except spy mission lol) and then you get people complaining that they can't solo the content. To be fair a lot of the content can be soloed once you get to a sufficient power level but still it shouldn't be expected and you should only blame yourself if you insist on playing solo. Warframe is amazing, Rhino Stronk.

cool new Polack jokes posted:It's me, I'm the 12-sided "round" cartoon button from Conker's Bad Fur Day (N64) I used to make 3d models for an online virtual world* company back in the nineties. The user-made models were always very 'round' and smooth and would tank your framerate. To this day, If i see edges that are too round my brain screams "inefficieeeeeeeent!" There was a real skill to representing shapes with the fewest triangles possible that I really enjoyed. Big red "Mother Of GOD" button is funny though. * haha, this was when Virtual World meant essentially a 3d gameworld, rather than Actual VR. good times...

The starting aspiration, the clunky tech demos, a bastardized version of an already released game, overpromising and internal struggles. Sure, sometimes great mods come out, but much more fail though. This is really apt. peter gabriel posted:Star Citizen :dxchop:

Randarkman posted:Why are Americans and British so fascinated with German compound words? There's really nothing that amazing about it, it's just like alot of other languages where you can, theoretically, make a compound word out of anything if you were inclined. Like "Fremdschämen" literally is just the words for "stranger" and "shame" combined into one, so it's literally "stranger shame". Norwegian among others works the same way, while English doesn't. Though I guess the Germans have been especially industrious about recording what is thought to be clever uses of that functionality, so they can have that. I think it's fascinating to English speakers because Germans have words for things we either don't acknowledge or don't even have concepts of or as a society.

Hav posted:My Kerbal Space Program story; Being separated from your vehicle during EVA has to be one of the scariest ways to die. The Titanic posted:Hopefully the tide will continue to slowly turn. I don't see how it couldn't, but I also never would have predicted them getting millions because of their last stream. So I am continually surprised! I honestly think that they will release a real game at this point. The amount of funding from so little material is staggering, and I can't really in good faith be surprised any more. They really toed the line with Citcon, but I think that has just showed them exactly where the edge is now. And they are going to ride that edge hard until they start to slip. Then they will jettison the And that game is going to be gloriously inadequate.

I expect that once it is released we will get some excellent pgabz videos and thousands of pictures of naked space men in other people's butts, clipping out into space with jets shooting out of their back and waist, etc. You seem to be under the impression that "releasing" Star Marine is somehow an achievement.

Ol Cactus Dick posted:Speaking of dealing with it, doesn't the avocados playing Star Marine mean that Dr. Warlord lost his ? As I understand it Derek was right that the original release of 2.6 to evocati didn't include Star Marine, moma was talking poo poo or trying to get Derek to break the NDA to prove him wrong. The 2nd option seems the more likely to me for him making so much fuss over something that doesn't matter at all, everyone knows Star Marine will be poo poo and so it will be proved, eventually, beyond all doubt. Anyone with any sense and experience who works there is looking for the exit door now. I know you and D1E have a real problem with Derek, my advice would start getting used to him being right. Edit Also lol at ex-CIG staff not updating their linkedin profiles while their new company is quite keen to talk about new hires and they seem happy to talk, I wonder how that happens.
