Sarsapariller posted:Okay, thank you for the answers- so, follow-up question. What is the motivation for any of these people to stream the game more than one or two nights? It's miserable, breaks all the time, and you aren't going to make any money doing it. It's not like hobbyist gamer youtube where people like Chip make video LP's for free because they enjoy a game and want to share it with their fans. Anybody who enjoys SC as it is right now is either lying, or hosed in the head, and the one hour of gameplay that exists has been shared hundreds of times over by now. For any more than a few days?

I'm two hours into Metroid: Samus returns. I do not want a refund. In fact, bad games are loving stupid. Buy good games, even if you have to look at tiny screens. Also: Tophat, where did you get stuck? Was it on Unauthorized Personnel? I got stuck there couple of days ago hunting for that one stupid vent I missed. Whoever designed the loving office levels of Fear should have talked to the guys that designed the other levels....

If you stream a game you might get "appreciation" from the devs. The fewer people streaming, the less competition; and you never know if Chris Roberts Himself might trip across your stream and give you thousands of dollars worth of free jpgs for doing his marketing for him. Also, most streamers will stream for their audience, so if your audience is "obsessive star citizen fans" then it kind of self-perpetuates for as long as possible because if you switch games then you might lose a lot of your subscribers and have to recreate your viewer base from scratch. It does make me wonder how many of these streamers bought into the "you'll never need another game again" koolaid though

Bofast posted:I've never seen many issues at all happen in Gamebryo games outside of what Bethesda has done with their modified version of the engine, which I would attribute more to them than anything. Are there other Gamebryo games that act weird? I must admit that I thought that Gamebryo was made by Bethesda. But I meant only Bethesda games with my previous post. Tippis posted:aleksendr explains the twisting pretty well. T-poses tend to be a sign of missing or confused animation states, or perhaps more commonly missing transitions between states. For double bonus points, it may be a direct consequence or component of the aforementioned stretching problem. He posted his answer shortly after I posted my question. What was confusing me was the fact, that after some character glitched out to the t-pose, usually he stayed that way. I can see how some animation error can occur, but I thought that as soon the character initiates some activity, which has a correct animation, the said animation is going to be started and the problem is going to solve itself. But point #5 of aleksendr's post explains everything. Toops posted:What's an ELE and why has nobody even mentioned this before now? I think that depending on how hard are you being called on your bullshit, it's either imminent or in two weeks or decades long event. But basically is sucking your own dick.

TheAgent posted:They're hoping to be one of the OG crew for a game that's going to take off and have -- according to Chris Roberts himself -- a 10 or 20 million player fanbase. The best thing about that is, that even if SC came out and was a gigantic hit, Sodapoppin or whatever bigshot there is would just stream and siphon all the viewers away from the OG crew. It doesn't matter how early you are, you have to offer a bit more than just 'I was here first' for the unwashed twitch masses to flock to you.

A friend does marketing stuff which involves social media metrics and all sorts of other things which are a blot on humanity. He did, however, point out that that there is absolutely no chance that SC has 1.8 million backers based on its 110k following on facebook and the initial 35k on kickstarter. Obviously we know this, but if you go round a whole bunch of other computer games/computer game companies, you'll find a nice range of the facebook followers being with 30-50% of the actual subscribers. SC's is 6%. Somehow unlike every other game out there, only 6% of the people who have pre-ordered the game have bothered to subscribe on facebook.

Its probable a high % of SC twitch streamers receive subsidies in one form or another from GIC PR an internet reputation management firm, thus ensuring a twitch presence no matter how unsuited the game is for audiences. As for who would do it ? Well, pennies on the dollar is better than no penies at all, If your not a girl in a low cut top you have to start somewhere if you hope to be a famous twitch host someday.

PR agency can always find a few hopefull spergs willing to work for a few free ships or maybe the possibility of a CIG studio tour. I guess the disconnect for me is that somewhere would be a game that actually, y'know, exists. It seems like the defining feature of a twitch game should probably be that it is watchable- like not even a PUBG or Destiny 2- just some game that is even slightly fun to watch. If this were day one of my twitch career, god forbid, I'd try to find a niche like maybe playing through every awful visual novel game with fun MST3K riffing commentary or something. I'm trying to get into the headspace where someone would go "Yes, the game with one level and a bunch of boring murky steel corridors and it crashes every 15 minutes and everything is P2W and there is literally nothing to do. That's the thing I'm going to ride to glory." I watched all 24 hours of the Gextra life stream last year. The games were poo poo, but they gave enough variety that Chip and crew could be charming and fun while suffering through them. But if it had been Star Citizen? What is there to play off of?

Seriously, Skywanderers is already a better Star Citizen than Star Citizen & it's the product of a single Frenchman working for a single year, not 400 resume-padders masturbating in Maya & Cryengine around the clock & across the world. (I love how the "buy a ship" tiers on the Skywanderers KS are for the backers to make ships for the game-maker, not the other way around.)
