AP posted:If you've got a problem with me saying "At the time none of us suspected things were as bad as he said", then you just need to quote that bit and argue about it. I just deleted a brutal takedown because I'm picking too many fights all over the forum and don't have energy for this one. I keep calling you out because you have a long history of sucking up to Derek and it's annoying. He's a ranting crazyperson and part of the disaster. If you want to tell him how he is a hero who changed everything or be salty toward anyone who disparages him his forums are probably a better place for that.

AP posted:I dunno why Derek bugs people so much that they get so incredibly angry about him, I think it's hilarious. If that means I get flak too, I'm all for it because it's funny. He doesn't make most people ITT angry at all, he's just a pedantic rear end in a top hat that writes blogs, repeating the same tired poo poo over and over, making predictions that are sometimes true and sometimes not (same as any other rear end in a top hat on the internet with an opinion), who has as much idea of what he's talking about as Crobblers ever did, but who, for the exact same reason, will never realize his inadequacies due to his galactic-size ego. Which is why seeing you step up to bat for such a guy will always be funnier than whatever anger (real or imagined) there might be towards him. Seriously, just chill the gently caress out commando! And I say this as someone who raised hell with a thread back in 2015 when he got refunded, he twittered and complimented that I was, and I quote, 'starting a revolution with no fear' and other than me keeping a screenshot of it to laugh at in memory, lmao if you think I'd ever defend him because of that faint praise like you seem to. Because, newsflash, he doesn't give a poo poo about anyone but himself. Plus, it also wasn't his stupid summer blog that got me to refund 2 months before the Escapist article, which is definitely when most of the folks here did theirs.

VictorianQueerLit posted:No way this lasts until 2019. Yes, I also think so. What is holding the faithful is that "reasonable hope" that stems from the funding tracker. Everything else is going to the pits but the funding tracker is that one red hot beacon of light and hope that backers go back to to reassure themselves there is still hope. Weather in a conscious or unconscious level. And while there is still hope many will continue funding. If anything manages to shake the faith on that funding tracker that will be the real ELE.

Well this is me throwing my hands up in light of $6 million space dollah (allegedly) pulled in during a time when the project is technically and demonstrably a mess from start to finish. It defies common sense and logic. In terms of gameplay it is indefensible. In terms of technical achievement it is indefensible and unfixable. In terms of art it is all over the place, models can look stunning, planets look terrible, animation is janky and bad. Movement is bad. Physics are bad. The only way I can understand it is to remove it entirely from the world of games and gaming. It doesn't belong. It is not a game nor a demo of a game, it's more like an interactive mocap session with QWOP style triggers of canned actions. It's designed that you can clunk your way around and the resulting images onscreen may create something that afterwards you can sit closed eyed and piece together your own mini-drama of what happened. It evokes the idea of a game without actually being one. It puts you in the mood for the game it is trying to be without ever becoming it. The only way it ends is if whales stop wanting what it wants to be.

I guessed 3.8 million but them hitting 6 million doesn't really shock me. There's pretty obviously always been a strong core of people with more money than brains who view their purchases as helping development. This isn't the first time they've managed to claw their way out of a hole like this. Everyone likes to remind Derek he'd predicted they'd run out of money a few years back, but then they managed to out-do themselves and suck people back in in no small part due to the PU, and even Derek admits he was surprised they managed it. I doubt this is the last time they'll do it, but looking at what they've managed so far it's obviously not going to result in a game coming out. The only way the dream is going to die is if the dreamers die.

SCtrumpHaters posted:I called it I get it though, I'm looking at this through the eyes of a gamer and I see a total mess with 'this is never going to be fixed' all over the place. Folks who make games for a living see the exact same thing, through the eyes of a coder. Folks who own companies and hire staff see 'this is unsustainable' through the eyes of a business owner. What you have to do is look at it through the eyes of the people funding it, and you can infer their social and professional experience well enough by reading r/starcitizen, r/ds and spectrum.

Videos of 3.0 being played wouldn't get a kickstarter off the ground right now, not when Elite exists, Dual Universe exists as a slick, smooth alpha, especially not when it's unashamedly a p2w title and especially when it has a fraction of the gameplay that even the launch version of NMS had. With worse graphics than all of them, with worse performance than all of them, worse physics, worse animations. The game is only one component of what these guys are buying into here, and it clearly, obviously is NOT the most important thing to them. I want to stress that so much I'm going to do a fiddly phone c&p of it The game is only one component of what these guys are buying into here, and it clearly, obviously is NOT the most important thing to them.
