I've given this three times now. I want to see SQ42 drop in its entirety next year (2017) and real progress made with the (star)systems. That is to say, everything that alpha 4.0 was touted to be - should be in 2017.

Just to be certain and lock things down, mind you precise what you consider SQ42 to be "complete" ? The number of missions, the playtime and the estimated lenght of the module has varied wildly from the initial stretch goals.

According to the completed stretch goals, SQ42 must contain :

- 50 missions (6M$)
- Full orchestral score (6M$)
- Complete voice acting and Mocap cutscenes(5M$)
- Enhanced Mission Design for Squadron 42 – Squadron 42 can go above and beyond anything you’ve seen before. From opening with an epic battle instead of a training patrol to missions that seamlessly combine boarding and space combat, we aim to put you right into the action!

And the first mission disk (at least 16 missions if we compare it to WC first mission disk) must be free to backers who pledged before 6M$.

Would you agree that SQ42 need that minimum to be considered "complete" or do you prefer to go with another (MVP) definition ?

The first and second halves of this sentence completely contradict each other.

It's like a restaurant saying "Sir, your meal is complete. We have the recipe written down and the ingredients were delivered."

...I can't even tell what is a serious statement anymore, but yours cannot possibly be one.

That's so Star Citizen, though. The missions are all complete and now they just have to "put the code on top of the ideas" (I believe those were Crobbler's words), so if they're still in graybox, they're complete because if the ideas are complete then everything is complete, even if it hasn't been completed.

You claim goons shift goal posts, but you've done nothing but that since coming here

I thought you would lose confidence in the project if a number of conditions were met during the latest live stream

Niggling issues aside , they pretty much poo poo allover the list you had , except maybe releasing 2.6 to testing but that's still a grey area

Chris has finally been caught by the evil Goons. On the night before his execution, he begs God for just one year to finish Star Citizen

In the morning he's led before the firing squad, but a miracle occurs! Just before they fire, time stops. Frozen along with everyone else, Chris eventually realizes that God has given him the year that he asked for. He sets to work, creating the perfect Star Citizen in his mind

Anyway, he doesn't finish it in time

Somewhere in the Library is the binary for the completed version of Star Citizen and Squadron 42 with everything that was promised.

If only the backers were committed enough to this project we'd be playing this game right now. CIG should focus on organizing a crowd sourced exploration of the Library.

I get it, someone you trust has given you a glowing review of the progress with the game. Unfortunately people can be wrong about things, and their own personal bias can color their opinions. What you are getting is someone else justifying to themselves why everything is fantastic because that's what the want to believe. You are like some kind of delusion parasite.

First it was a ripoff of the Doom box art and now they ripped off Halo as well for the same image.

Instead of trying to stop the plagiarizing after getting caught countless times, CIG double archers a picture.

Shubin was reported as almost complete back in 2013. It's almost 2017 and there has not been one single proof of concept for SQ42. They have had a dedicated studio (Manchester) working on it for 4 years. 4 years and not even a complete vertical slice of a single player game. How on earth you're giving them another year is mind boggling :psyduck:

This is a perfect Ryan Archer, because when they switched the left leg to the foreground in their copy they hosed up the perspective and make it look hilariously bad. Meaning that not only can they not create the art and have to trace it, they don't even understand it in the first place.

More quality work from the $140,000,000 company that completely reassures me that the dream is real. Inability to do High School Art Class perspectives.

Edit: Someone dig up that guy from the CAD Mock threads that would make skeletal drawings to show the anatomy of bad art. They copied the lower half of the right leg but had to try and connect the knee to the hip on their own, leading to the guys crotch being in his left thigh with a leg stuck out at a 90 degree angle because they had to match the placement of the foot while shifting it to the background.

The rip off of Amazon Grand Tour and the Clarkson likeness I would think would piss them off.

I expect them to do a Mario commercial next since we all know how friendly Nintendo is when it comes to that.
