hot balls man no homo posted:This is probably the best case scenario. The backers lose everything, Chris is broke and a worldwide joke, we have a good laugh, nothing really changes. Pretty sure the top brass already cash out about once a year. Now they're just riding the lightning. Didn't they pay themselves back for the IP which they sold themselves in addition to paying themselves back for developing that IP before the funding started rolling, while also paying themselves the salary they set.

Awesome! posted:is that a shoeprint? This simple act of firing of mah laser space RPG at a decal making it expand to 100 times its size, causes me to wince in pain at the kind of cacophony of lovecraftian widgets and gizmos that must govern the corporeal fabric of Space Resident Evil.

AP posted:https://twitter.com/RobertsSpaceInd/status/935275947611303938 I love non lethal weapons. Like that stun baton that’s in all the video games these days. Or the dart gun. Does the ship have a dart gun or big emp baton it can thwack other space boats with? If somebody hits the ship I’m knee deep in cleaning the chin out of the hot tub in, will I be electrocuted to death? Will I then maybe live, but be crippled until a medic on a search and rescue ship can find me?

That’s s very expensive, very sharp butt plug. I hope whoever is buying these limited ships they definitely didn’t sell before as limited and never to be sold again and also not actually build into the game several years ago is careful with them today. Never know what you might poke out!

On Crobblers looking like a fool to his own age cohort: he and I are the same age, and his vision of the future is so ridiculously antiquated. Compare to Alistair Reynolds or Charles Stross, other people in our age cohort. Hell, Nancy Kress is 70, and her futures seem actually futuristic. Crobblers is just putting World War II in space.

Also, let's just try to unwrap this one: "Ekhart's first mission breaks the player character." What? That's like saying "Getting into your car makes your house catch fire." What the gently caress is wrong with Star Citizen? I've never seen bugs like this before.

Latin Pheonix posted:I think it would take a good few months alone to unravel the mess that is Star Citizen. There's so many angles you could go in from; CIG itself, Chris' management style, Sandi taking advantage of CIG for acting purposes, Ascendant pictures, loans, management's payouts, etc. The list is huge. We just need a few confirmed reports of devs in a meeting:  So I see that it’s been a week, and we still haven’t redefined internet technology yet. What’s the loving delay? Well sir, uh, Rob is only part time. He’s still working on his associates degree as an IT - I don’t want your loving excuses. Rebuilding core internet communication technology should be a few day process. Didn’t you see me in that loving Charter Commercial where I already did the hard part? Sir, we’re still trying to figure out how CryEngine did- Shut your mouth! If you can’t do it, I’ll make sure you never work in this industry again. Tomorrow I’m going on camera again. I’m making a loving video where I’m programming this poo poo in my sleep fixing up all your cock ups. If this poo poo isn’t done by next Tuesday, you will all be fired. I’m sick of your lazy abilities to do nothing for my project. I’ll get another pack of high schoolers in here with loving talent to back them up and get this out in a few days.

They're at like 0.03 right now. Much like everything else it's a constantly thumping drone of dressing the product to present it as more ideal; in this case, appearing closer to complete. When a layperson encounters a tweet saying "Star Citizen 3.0" they're more likely to imagine it's a real game. Everything is about pretending it's a complete, real game for people to buy ships in while also being a pledge toward a future project you may never receive.

Anticheese posted:I really have no idea who greenlit the Hammerhead video all but saying "Hey this thing is a white elephant and maintaining this thing is a pain in the rear end that requires a lot of manual busywork" right before going HEY BUY THE HAMMERHEAD! Beet Wagon posted:Lol I couldn't be hosed to watch their dumb Grand Tour ripoff video for the new jpeg until just now. Jesus Christ it's smoothbrains all the way down. It's actually really simple: the "it's a broken down piece of poo poo but it's got character and I love it" sci-fi tech trope. Serenity from Firefly and the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars are the obvious two, but it's not uncommon to have "this piece of poo poo ship broke down again" as the Problem Of The Week in other sci-fi series. Both are "pieces of poo poo" in their own established universes, beloved by their owners despite their quirks, and beloved by the fanbases of both shows. People are literally daydreaming about "how cool it would be to have a ship like that IRL, and everyone who thinks it's a piece of poo poo can go gently caress themselves because it's got ~character~" and don't spend a second of time thinking about the actual offscreen pain-in-the-rear end maintenance time involved for either. So basically another iteration of "it works in movies but trying to put it into a game is going to make your game suck"

Basically if it were real life, it would be : Take a bite of an apple, it tastes like purple, the room you're in is now a polar bear, you are happy with how your fins look, the toilet is broken so you must tell the gunslinging cowboy to stop being the leaning tower of pisa, you're on a Micropachycephalosaurus. Pray CIG never have sway over anyones real life.

Oopsy daisy! 4: All those awesome videos of mobiglass customizing of- gently caress guys, we don’t even have genders for characters yet, of course we’re lying to you. Gosh. 5: Remember those awesome repair mechanics with picking out materials and focusing repair arms and- come on guys, of course it’s not in because we literally have no idea how to do any of this.

Spiderdrake posted:That's fine, that's crowdfunding. Calling it crowdfunded now is disingenuous. If you had read the textbook you'd know they were crowdfunded $4.2 million to make an Oculus Rift game. Then they continued crowdfunding through their website surpassing $85 million and now they're making a game where you move boxes around empty moons.
