Tippis posted:They're in a possibly pre-rendered and/or in-editor demo. Which in SC terms means it's practically in-game or, really, has been in so long that it has already become outdated and it's about time CIG goes back to the drawing board to figure out a more modern update. This really is the best. It's like the fact that the original ships for sale (Aurora, 300i, etc) have all basically become hideously outdated and outclassed before the game ever even launched. They talk about things so long it's like it becomes its own reality.

orcinus posted:Case in point - my dad's friend, normally the most phlegmatic, stable and benevolent person i can think of, got provoked by a psych evaluator into almost screaming and crying, when he was trying to get his carrying license. Which might seem like a very douchey thing to do to a person, but if just talking to a stranger for 15 minutes can get you to lose your poo poo, maybe you shouldn't be walking around with a gun? All gun control issues aside, I'm pretty sure a properly trained person can get literally anyone to go into screaming fits after talking to them for 15 minutes. You just got to know what triggers a person, then start pushing that button.

Wrecked Angle posted:Reading through that r/ds/ beer thread and this one post really stood out for me (Beer made other good ones too) because it loving blows the whole 'you just don't understand game development' bullshit out of the water with a resounding 'okay, no I don't understand it, now give me my loving game or my money back'. Well done Beer Thanks. It's an argument I've been making for a few months now, and I haven't really seen anyone provide a compelling counter. At best I get the "pledging is a donation don't spend what you can't afford to lose" bullshit line.

Eldragon posted:Basically a privateer-like game, but isn't a billion miles wide and 1 inch deep. So more like Rebel Galaxy, and less like Elite Dangerous. Your chasing a whale, friend. Some game may scratch the itch but the sweet spot between "being a random cog" in Elite and a "story about me" in Privater has yet to be found. I would suggest : https://www.gog.com/game/darkstar_one - Simple, but fun http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmercenary/index.htm - Complex, maybe too close to Elite for your taste http://fractalsoftworks.com/ - 2d, need some mods to unleash its full potential http://store.steampowered.com/app/214730/ - 2d, turn based but plenty of depth. http://store.steampowered.com/app/2820/ (the superbox is below 10$) - The best "Not Elite" alternative. The perfect game of this kind does not exist yet, selling the dream is what allowed SC to become such a bloated 140M$ dumpster fire. Hope you get something fun for christmas !

So does their timeline say that 2.6 should be out today or tomorrow? Because I laughed whenever gazillion and digital extremes launched patches on Fridays and they are somehow way more competent than cig also they would have never released a patch like this just before Christmas.

There's always the "mod the piss out of the open source privateer" and replay privateer. Which I've been rolling around in my head for a while.

TheLightPurges posted:They did this poo poo with 2.4. Half the features were missing and it was dire but they pushed that poo poo to Live anyway. The way they handle version numbering is a complete misdirection. Somehow everyone argues about when and which each version is hitting evocati/PTU and largely forget that they are adding do-dads instead of major features. I seriously have no idea what Star Marine has do with the final product; it's a slightly different tech demo that they can now fiddle with for all of 2017.

You just got to know what triggers a person, then start pushing that button. Probably, if briefed on them beforehand, and if the person you're trying to trigger isn't aware of the purpose of the chat. I mean, people do go into screaming fits on the internet for way less, but that's different.

Weeell… not without a good competition break, at least, but that would be inefficient and costly, and the neighbours would probably be upset with the occasional grass fire you'd start. And also the constant gun fire.

Amarcarts posted:Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this infographic a bullshit attempt to justify problems with SC's development? Not only is SC not even in alpha by conventional standards, Jared admitted it as such last year. And it's not past the design stage. There is no vertical slice, there is no overarching concept, there are no design documents. There isn't even a scope that's been defined well enough for anyone to understand it.
