It's playable. It's not stable, it doesn't seem particularly enjoyable, and even in its mystical 5 year alpha state I cannot see how it will be even remotely close to what was promised. But it's playable. They should at least be able to get Squadron 42 out, and I expect it to go as well as Duke Nukem Forever.

That's what makes this thread great, it's all just funny once you've got your money back!

Something weird is going on with the 3.0 release. Let's first look at some of these phenomena and then i will give you my conclusion. Going from simple to complex. 1. Falling through floors and walls while in a spaceship that is moving. 2. Not seeing items others are carrying or wearing. 3. Not seeing quantum drive while "crew" in a ship. 4. Repeating commands without player interaction when getting into the pilot seat as "crew" While the first 2 can be explained by network desync, #3 and #4 are not unless something else is going on here. #4 is so out of this world i have a video i clipped to show you that this is really happening. https://clips.twitch.tv/LongIcyThymeCclamChamp So how can this happen? Simple explanation is that every player has his own instance and once a player enters the instance of another player (spaceship) he becomes cargo and part of that players instance while his real instance is "paused" or simply confused back at the point where he entered the other players instance. When the crew member in that video took control of the ship, the game made it his instance and the servers tried to catch up to his game position by starting to warp him to the position he already was at. It's amazing how these guys completely hosed up netcode for CryEngine to turn it into an MMO, which it can never be.

The Titanic posted:Stanley thought he was in a good game today. But soon realized that he was, in fact, in a rather questionable one. He thought for a moment if this might change, but Stanley was wrong. Stanley was so wrong, as a matter of fact, that he had to sell his very soul, and of course his house, to star in this game. Nice parable

Scruffpuff posted:CR's little holiday diatribe is nice because it reveals his misunderstanding of what's wrong. His entire post was all about performance this, FPS that, and so on. It's as if Croberts had been a home builder who had been away from the industry for a few decades and still tried using lots of asbestos in his construction projects. When workers and home buyers started getting sick all over the place he started trying to figure out why he kept hiring workers with poor health and also saying things like "Well, we've only had 8% of our workforce hospitalized, so that's not nearly as bad as you might think. We'll just have to make them all drink some orange juice in the morning and we should get these things sorted out soon enough.".

I just watched the part of that lovely pre-not-even-alpha trailer where they launch their paarpships from the tiny carrier and uh why are they not launching fighters from rails like the much cooler Battlestar Galactica and also why are the flight deck crew standing right under the fighters during the launch with no masks on while the hangar is completely open to space?

PederP posted:Yeah, but my point is that we're reaching that point where the free ride is over, and the ever-increasing hackery has to come to an end. I am not suggesting that we'll be going back to optimization style of the C/C++ era. Just that the blatant disregard for performance, insane magpie mentality of cobbling together libraries, and other bad habits will hopefully be coming to an end. There is so much untapped potential in the current hardware, and unlocking it requires somewhat of a paradigm shift, not just in coding practices but in development methodologies as well. I'll resist the temptation to veer off into a longer rant, but I think Star Citizen is a prime example of why money, ambition and agile bravago simply can't cut it, if the foundation is poo poo and the engineering discipline simply isn't in place. It might take a couple of years before we have widely available engines focusing on efficiency with Vulcan/DX12 and other ways to cut out unnecessary weight.

ewe2 posted:I think it's possible that Roberts is addicted to his role and subconsciously never wants it to stop. It would explain a lot. Not even subconsciously. Star Citizen made him rich. More, it gave him respect. He barks orders, his minions cringe and leap to obey. Regardless of whatever happens with the actual game, so far Star Citizen has been a magnificent rags-to-riches story for Chris Roberts personally. This is a serious reason I don't think he'll ever take a golden parachute even if everyone else around him does. His sheer ego won't let him admit defeat like that, even if it would mean he got to retire to the Caymans with a massive payout.

Chris awaits the accountant's final measure of the books with trepidation. "You are bankrupt," the account says slowly as he places a mug to his lips and sips thoughtfully. Chris' face is aghast, all manner of horrors playing upon his features as the dreams shatter and everything turns to FUD. The mug is placed down, and the accountant says, "morally." Chris wipes his face with flapping hands and rises to his feet, "So you're saying we can sell the tanks? Is that what you're saying?"
