kikkelivelho posted:I know these twelve or so goons like to pretend that they are experts in all things design and software but lets make some things clear If you're playing devil's advocate, alright, cool. This open development process they're touting is complete bullshit, and it always has been. To me, the strongest indicator was the complete silence of star marine, and permabanning people on the forums for even asking it like they were some giant immature mod team with a lot of expecations to meet, to say nothing of the giant bullshit articles detailing waving it's giant fake fidelitous dick on selling you the game before they ever had any actual video of the game. CryEngine being the chosen engine really shows just how out of touch Chris Roberts is. Now they're switching from one version of CryEngine to another version of CryEngine licensed by Amazon. Chris Roberts was on that press release saying it's been a thing for a whole year, and Crytech was having financial trouble before that. Fact of the matter is, making the engine switch is not going to be easy, and with this revelation, people are lucky to have even anything new at all by late 2018.

And it only took a couple of the engineers a day or so to port those changes... Wait. What? That's all bullshit. As much as their terribly open development not telling you about the engine change a year ago and it only taking two or some mandays to port the changes over. Which sort of makes you wonder what they have been doing with the rest of the time.

Let me answer with another question, since we evolved into homo sapiens has there ever been any other group with as much griefing potential as this? It would have made internet history. Such a shame that it wasn't meant to be.

If you were mentally retarded, then maybe. Wait... nevermind. Their brains function fine, they just have hosed up ideas. Ideas like a fake reality where they paid to be winners, never confront any opposition and definitely no women to challenge them.

kikkelivelho posted:This was the best Christmas I can remember. I've never done so much overtime before the holidays and I was completely out of juice by the time the celebrations came. It was all worth it though when my nephews opened their gifts and found out that they were now both proud star citizens. gave both of them a Constellation package, expensive, but that's what Christmas is about isn't it. I gave them a quick image tour of the ships and tomorrow I'm going back to help them with installing the game. I can't remember when I was last this excited. But side note--I was this backer in 2013! I gifted my nephew a Freelancer package for Christmas in 2013 and was smug in the belief I was the coolest uncle ever. Fast forward a few months and I asked if he had tried Arena Commander only to learn he had traded the package for Steam credits. He was twelve at the time and in his words, "I hate to break it to you, but that Star Citizen game is never going to come out." Took me a few more weeks after that until I came to understand his wisdom. HycoCam fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Dec 26, 2016 |

BitBasher posted:Doesn't the move to Lumberyard permanently put a nail in the idea of the promised feature of backers hosting their own servers themselves for free? ROFL--Private servers. Did you ever see FREE Private Servers mentioned? On one hand we have the latest trend of rentable private servers. On the other hand we have CIG. This means two things: #1 There will never, ever be private servers in Star Citizen for the one simple fact that Star Citizen will never exist as a game. #2 If there ever were a game that got to the stage of enabling private servers--what are the chances of CIG not monetizing those servers to the hilt? If CIG ever had private servers I suspect they would cost more CompuServe and The Source did back in the 80's. "Private Servers are available for Star Citizen, rent yours now! 16 player instances for only 24.95 an hour!"

Yes Chris Roberts, the man that had no idea how zero gravity actually works in the video with Richard Garriott, based his game "from the beginning" on cloud computing. Right. He's been out of the tech industry for something like 15 years. I'm pretty sure he has no idea what cloud computing even is. He's not a smart person at all, and that's backed by a mountain of evidence form selecting the worst possible engine for a MMO, to contracting Illfonic, to paying 60 million for mocap that can't be imported into CryEngine. He acts smart but has no idea about how any of the technologies he blabbers about actually function. His "instanced cloud meshes of servers" nonsense word vomit he released as proof of how he will support 1000 players sound exactly like "internet is a series of tubes" to anyone with even a even a basic background in computer networking. He's a total idiot. Rad Russian fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Dec 26, 2016 |
