My favorite parts were drunk as gently caress Jared and the 14th redesign of the Vandull getting Stimpire armor installed under their skin because pain don't hurt.

Wait hold on what the gently caress is this. This is a photoshop right? They didn't really make a space drill instructor with a floral print shirt and a mile long forehead did they?

And you know the reason their armor is now after 14 refactorings stimpired on to their skin is because giving aliens layered armor was way too hard for them. So now its just a texture.

Yeah, also the whole logic behind them.

The stronger they get the less armor they wear. So you start all nice looking and end up Streaking.

C'mon man, don't be shy. Believe it or not this is your opportunity to gain acceptance from the goons, take the ribbing that you know is coming with grace and dignity and you'll earn a shitload of goon points. Staying away hoping things will calm down only makes you look like a coward.

elite is ok but not beginner friendly in VR due to all the keybindings. you really need a hotas for it in order for it to feel right. I also run a g13 and condensing it is brutal.

Late post, but you could also try something like voice attack and use that for any commands that are not time critical. Landing gear, supercruise and so on. I only use a Logitech joystick for the flying, combat and menus, the rest can easily be voice controlled if you have a half decent headset and maybe 30-40 minutes to set it up once. Haven't tried VR, though

I interviewed a NK escapee who came to my school and made a thread. Then life got in the way and the translation had to be postponed. I did finish it in the end, but nobody is going to pay 10 bux to update my.avatar
It doesn't matter if the cult dissolves at this point. The scammers have pocketed their millions already. Unless a government takes them down, will they even care if the gravy train derails?

It's nice that it's all coming to an end but I hope this story gets finale that's not just, 'And then Chris Roberts lived happily ever after.'

Game will be cancelled, Chris will weep on screen then launch another kickstarter to salvage the lovely SQ42 footage and bring it to life in movie form, backers will give him another $10 million

100% plan to do it. It just get frustrating that in a tutorial in vr and they push x key and it isnt bound under KB+M and your blind as gently caress and having to move my hands off the g13 to try and find it.
Once the refund comes through I plan to pick up maybe the worthog hotas or (t1600)for elite and dcs. Then use VA for the others. If CIG ever send me the money - mind you I still have to pay a fair chunk but what I saw in ED was pretty incredible visually. Just
everything else was a pita.

Perhaps they will buy out Crytek for a low amount, shutter them as a studio, and just get all the assets they created for previous games and use them?

What game would you make with 140 million, endless time, and a legion of devoted followers?

I'm thinking the ultimate nostalgia bomb Secret of Mana-esque couch-coop ARPG, or a city builder taking the best parts of SC4 and Skylines, adding a lot of cool procedural stuff, and adding the ability to start in city in pre-industrial times and build into a dazzling 21st century megapolis, with each era its own distinct, fleshed out experience.

My dream game would be tentatively called Night Mayor. You start out as just an every day bad guy, and you slowly accumulate assistants and gang members and you start working your way up the food chain, murdering, blackmailing, kidnapping and threatening your way towards eventually controlling the vast city's underworld. All the while, other players are doing the same.

Barring that, I would be happy with a 40K MMO. (I want to get down in the trenches against Necron, Tau, Chaos and more.)
