Whilst we're talking about the dream that could've been, the one thing this game still has over so many others right now is a theme tune that absolutely blasts off into space. It's honestly being wasted on this project, it's such a great piece of music.

When it kicks of at 1min 30, argh, it's beautiful.

It's no Jerry Goldsmith, but it's perfectly fine for a space game.

But I thought Chambers said this would be finished last year? Yet from this summary, it sounds like there’s tons of work still ahead... And THEN the hard work can begin.

Also:

Please sign up for Squadron updates... Please?!

Oh and please buy these discounted starter packs and this discounted shirt...

It’s been like 3 weeks since Chris has co-hosted, hasn’t it? Wonder what that crazy guy has been up to lately?

I suspect when the dust settles the really bad actors will be CIG high-rankers behind Chris and out of the limelight. Ortwin, the Elms brothers, or people at that level. Those who knew Chris was out of control but were happy to let him ramble whilst skimming hugely inflated salaries and bonuses off the funding.

No, you also get the warm feeling that you're not alone, and other people, just like you, thought it would be a good idea.

* Single charismatic leader.
* People always seeming constantly happy and enthusiastic. Especially if you discover that they have been told to act that way for the potential new recruits.
* Instant friends.
* If you are told who you can or cannot talk to or associate with.
* They hide what they teach.
* Say they are the only true group, or the best so why go anywhere else.
* Hyped meetings, get you to meetings rather than share with you.
* Experiential rather than logical.
* Asking for money for the next level.
* Saying that they have to make people pay for it because otherwise they will not appreciate it. This is of course a very silly reason, plenty of people are able to appreciate things which they did not pay for.
* They do not allow their teachings or practices to be questioned. If you question, then automatically the group assumes that something is wrong with you. It can never be the case that anything is wrong with the group’s practices or teachings. Often they will try to shut you down by accusing you of having a “bad attitude”.
* They will push you to obey by using guilt. They will demand complete “submission” to the group, its leaders and its teachings. They will do this by making you feel absolutely rotten about yourself. They will ridicule you and attack any weakness you might have (or invent weaknesses you might have if they can’t find any). Their goal is to break your will by causing you mental anguish.

ME2 is the game that broke me on following story plots. I had played enough Bioware games up to that point to realize that it didn't matter what you did, paragon/renegade, it didn't matter. You got a slightly different cutscene to finish that particular level, but the plot progressed the same either way.

I played Destiny 2 coop and the other guys got pissed because I kept skipping every cutscene as soon as it started. I told them "it's just space horde vs space alliance, in space, with lovely dialogue."

But honestly, and I know I'm a broke brain, but I don't care about story in games. Mainly because they're bad, uninteresting stories, not simply because they're in a vidya game.

fargom posted:

I'm pretty much the same, I skip all story and cut scenes from every game that allows you to get through via button mashing. Probably explains why I've never felt the urge to install the last of us HD edition that came with my bloodborne machine, from what I hear that game is all story.

I know this will never happen, but at least back in the day they put some effort into their lies. I think there were even photoshops of their blade design for that ship.

Now a days, they just lie and say they'll do stuff but don't even make a picture of it. :(

Come on, CIG, go back to lying with a little effort behind it. :allears:

I feel like this stuff started to die off around the hull series. Like prior to that they had the ship with the farm and the science pods, but they showed pictures of how it will definitely work.

Then they got to the hull E or something with like two billion spaces for cargo, and they didn't even show pictures of how it'll be loaded. Now a days we know it'll be loaded by hand, over the course of 3 months and 50 players working non stop together in tedious unity and pleasure.

I'm willing to bet that if they ever actually implement the giga cargo ships, they'll just hack in a console that loads "bulk cargo units" to the "external cargo pods". I.E. one of the 256 cargo spaces will be flagged as "iron", probably with no visual change.

Great historical analogy, really enjoyed that part of it too.

Popped up only once or so in previous ones, but it was thicker in this one. R u ok, commando?

There's something else about bears not many people know. If a bear gets hooked on the taste of crowdfunding, it becomes a man-killer. He'll go on a rampage and has to be destroyed. And that's why you should never hug a bear.

Thank you for pointing out how in the pitch video Chris makes it sound like everything is already in and ready to play, he lied bold faced to everyone knowing full well it was just a pre-rendered video.

They were even sure to put the 'all assets in engine and playable' disclaimer, I would LOVE to get a hold of the demo he used for the pitch video

Just some polish is needed!

That right there should count as false advertising, none of what he showed off is in the game, and never was. It was all smoke and cgi cig mirrors

Those little stupid screens popping out all around him in the cockpit are just stupid looking, how could anyone ever imagine that would be playable
