Blue On Blue posted: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 Honestly, I remember thinking at the time that I first saw it (in 2013) "Yyyeah, that's likely not gonna stay exactly like that, but surely that's something the team under him can rework as the hangar and dogfighting modules come out and they find out what actually works." Up until mid 2014 it actually looked like they were making steady progress...but then the sales ramped up, the endless refactoring of old existing poo poo began (Crobblers design by decree came into full effect at that point I think) while selling .jpegs accelerated, nothing actually new was being implemented much anymore and by mid 2015 I was straining to suspend by disbelief. Then, when they fired people like Chelsea and James Pugh, I was like: "gently caress this poo poo, they don't care one bit for me other than my money" and was lucky enough to get a refund right after Derek Smart got his, but right before the Escapist letter when they started denying them.

I enjoyed the little plugs in the latest video from CIG for the Captain Richard with his brand new multi thousand dollar PC donated to him from backer money, and that other guy the rapist showing off Star Marine

You sound like a backer (nothing wrong with that). There has not been, at any point in time, some sort of *steady* progress. Some tiny, scrawny spurts of progress here and there with the modules and whatnot but there is a reason many of us have been making fun of this ridiculous poo poo since 2013.

Shouldn't that kind of stuff be left for the "game progress" and "lies, lies, lies" parts of the series? That doesn't really have much to do with fracking the whales, which was the point of this one.

I feel bad for the guy who was dumped with all of the raw performance capture. Here's a bunch of poo poo we shot three years ago, go figure it out! In hindsight, it really shows how warped Chris's priorities are. #1 - Shoot a movie with someone else's money and pretend to be a hotshot Hollywood director. #2 - Get the game made.

Drunk Theory posted:Great video Bootcha. This is the first one that is really going to upset the whales with all the regencies to suckers. Yeah, it probably will, although it can’t be said Bootcha isn’t roasting himself and his own spending habits in the process... I think there’s really no getting around the fact that spending four or five figures on a buggy pre-Alpha for a very late game and unlocking/“earning” special CIG-conferred titles / ranks / privileges looks pretty crazy from a distance. It’s their money to spend as they like but I’m not sure there’s any way to normalize it outside of the SC community bubble. It reminds me of that laugh out loud moment 18 minutes in to Twerk’s Sunday stream. He was reading through his concierge booklet with his bemused girlfriend joking about how much more he was going to probably spend in 2018. While she was reading through the thing, somebody gave him a cash tip which allows text to speech messages: “Sorry for not giving you a game. Here’s a book with pretty pictures in it.” They couldn’t help but crack up. So at least some whales know just how crazy it all is and looks. Looks like Bootcha just replied to DaGaimez: BinkyATX posted:Thanks for stopping by DaGaimez, I appreciate your feedback. Your criticisms of CIG and the Star Citizen project are well founded and much needed. I hope you understand that exchange between my indignant "fanboy" persona and your criticisms showed that you weren't a pushover, and you got the better of that exchange in that bit. Perhaps saying you are a "fanboy" was not the right word to use, I understand while you still support the project, you are critical of it. Would you consider "backer" to be a more fair representation of your feelings about the project?

So I wonder what the likelihood is that Bootcha's speculation of shares being offered at WhaleFeast '18 causes a crisis meeting in the coming days as to delay the offering, if they can delay, or how to spin as a not an act of desperation.

HycoCam posted:So I wonder what the likelihood is that Bootcha's speculation of shares being offered at WhaleFeast '18 causes a crisis meeting in the coming days as to delay the offering, if they can delay, or how to spin as a not an act of desperation. It’s next week so the suspense shouldn’t last long. It seems like a longshot rumor but there’s no getting around the weirdness of the whole thing. That there is some unstated agenda is clear. That they plan to film it — this conspicuously rapacious gathering of a self-selected “privileged” class — for some future promotional use has already been stated. Capturing the theater of this “special” moment of fraternization is itself part of CIG’s agenda. The continuing normalization of CIG LA’s gilded age antics is sooooooo strange in this new era of backlash against micro-transactions yet that’s as much a part of their playbook as having Monocles in a Space Sim before Mining. But there surely is more to this gathering than just fraternization at the feet of the Code Whisperer. Stock sales? Sneak peaks and pre-orders of CIG’s upcoming in-game expanded real estate opportunities? They chose 60 Concierge level invitees and made them pay $350 more to get in the door. That’s already a commitment test that would keep out the casual, disinterested or cynical concierge tier backers. They will have 60 true believers there and surely be intending to sell them on something even while the event itself may get turned into promotional media used to sell whatever this opportunity is to a wider group... I expect we’ll see lots of “you won’t believe what’s coming! I’d tell you but NDA!” posts after the event to build buzz. Lost in all of it will be the obvious cynicism on CIG’s part and what increasingly feels like a very short term urgency to accelerate the money hunt. CIG can’t go wider now — they can’t cross The Chasm with a game without gameplay that requires 16GB RAM, SSDs, new GPUs & CPUs and all the rest. So they’re drilling deeper and deeper like the Dwarves in the Mines of Moira in the relentless hunt for more Mithril... Oh well. I’m sure it’ll all work out for the best.

bar10dr2 posted:I honestly don't understand all the hate. I've backed this project -basic package- because I wanted a modern version of (what I remembered of) Privateer 2, a game that I was quite fond of playing through at the time of its release. The only thing I got during my years of still being a backer was a crappy, buggy, inexcusably half-assed hangar module, excuses of "pre-alpha", and dozens and dozens of well polished animation videos of selling ship concepts. Then after missing several promised deadlines and the one in their TOS, they changed their TOS to remove the deadline, and went into "not giving any dates" while putting SQ42 in the freezer indefinitely. These people are hacks at best, scammers at worst. This is the only crowdfunding project as of yet that made me pursue a refund, and I am (or was) a proponent of the whole ideology behind crowdfunding. Not so enthusiastic and way more skeptical now than I was a few years ago of course. I also have backed a few rotten potatoes of projects on Kickstarter, and still didn't go for a refund for those. Because they didn't make me feel dirty for backing them.

gently caress, man. I check Derek's twitter and even he's so bored of Star Citizen all he's warlording about is some Trump nonsense. This is the low point, yeah? When the gently caress are Skadden going to do something? And "90 days, tops" is the same as Darude Sandstorm. It's a memo to self which says, "gently caress myself this evening after I buy and Idris".

Not SC related. Out of interest, got a big family thing coming up with game players involved across generations. Is Helldivers any good as a 4 player game (PS3)? Anyone played it?

IcarusUpHigh posted: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. It's generic as gently caress, and feels like bits have been cribbed to sound "Like the music in....". If ever there was a piece of music that could be accused of being painted by numbers, it's this. No one would be able to pick it out if it was used elsewhere. Like how Hollywood went through a fad of using "Bishop's Countdown" in every god drat trailer ever, everyone would say "WTF, that's the music from Aliens!". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlzkGd7qaMY Or trailer music virtuosos,Two Steps from Hell's "Heart of Courage", which became the next Bishop's Countdown, even being used for videogame trailers and A Snooker Pro's entrance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYKUeZQbMF0 No one will remember StarCitizenSquadron42MarenaCommandos's OST. Sure, I have an ear for music, and I can spot poor/lazy writing, so please consider this vid by one of my absolute favourite youtubers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7IXGFnB4h0 Or this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUdyc8j8eLc edit. Heck, just listen to the overture from one of Gaming's greatest forgotten gems. It just demonstrates the vast gulf of technical difference between SC and a true AAA game score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zfNTThhwag Or a track from Ori, that had gaming beats that affected me so much, just hearing the music again stirs the same emotions I felt the first time I heard it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzXNGRnOYP4 Star Citizen's music won't ever be considered iconic, classic, anything. It was a guy's job for a few months, and nothing more. Xaerael fucked around with this message at 11:07 on Apr 27, 2018 |

It's like giving someone the puzzle box from Hellraiser and telling him he's nothing to me unless he solves it (hint 32 GB of ram, I7, gtx1080ti, delete every other program on your computer, then you can really see what lies on the extreme of "fidelity"). Also, cheers, Beet.
