stingtwo posted:The designed for future systems was kinda true in the 90's right up til about 2006, when computers were sky rocketing in performance to the point of almost double cpu/ram and gpu speed and size every year, even the top systems couldn't play quake 2 but 6months later, newer PCs could handle it no issues. This is accurate, and it sheds some light on how far behind the industry Chris really is if he's pulling out 90's excuses and assuming they still apply today. The few times I've tried to play Star Citizen, the abysmal performance wasn't what got to me. It was the abysmal performance for a game that looked and played as bad as it does.

I've got a 12 core CPU, a 2080ti, 32gb RAM and an m.2 drive and this 'game' runs like crap, the reason is it's badly made, there is no other reason. It's a game with PS3 era graphics that runs like fried arse, there are no reasons or excuses for this apart from it being a hacked together heap of shite

 You mean they're done with frivolous lawsuits and are actually focusing on actually paying employees and.... Sorry, there's a bit too much bad blood surrounding this company to really get excited. I'll still welcome new Crysis anything, but they have a lot to prove.

And this feeds into the whole "PC Master Race" thing many of the backers fall into. A hugely expensive computer isn't seen as a drawback- it's a plus. A barrier of entry to keep the plebs out, a PC with fifteen fans to show off how cool and rich you are to spend so much on your gaming.

peter gabriel posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJtMQLHch2Y "I thought it was a good time to once again discuss the dangers of crowdfunded video game projects."That, in and of itself, is a perfectly reasonable, sensible, and necessary thing to do. The problem is that this video includes multiple examples of someone outright falling for some of the fallacies most frequently associated with crowdfunding projects. Crowdfunding is actually very simple to undrestand: you are not paying for a game, or for a pre-order. You're paying for a developer to spend a little time working on it. You'll generally find that this is met with some form of promised gods - usually a copy of the game - but even that's not a prerequisite (Bloodtained is one example of a game that had tiers where people could back the game without there being any reciprocation). That's the aspect that most people don't quite grasp, and which tends to colour their perception of crowdfunding as an alternative to conventional development/publication. This video makes the exact same mistake several times, beginning with the repeated pointing out of that Dec 2017 date. That's not a promised release date, it's an approximate estimate based on the information they have at that time (in mid-2016, in this instance). If anything, the commentary regarding the Sept 2016 update was even more irrational, with this video actually trying to draw a connection between a cited figure and a planned launch date as if they were in any way either legally binding or systematically interconnected. For perspective, recent noteworthy delays from even long-established studioes with literal centuries of experience include >2 years for Breath of the Wild, ~1.5 years for Witcher 3, ~2 years and counting for Cyberpunk 2077 (original internal release period was 2017-21, but that was for two games, with Cyberpunk being the first to launch), and ~2 years for Persona 5. And that's ignoring FF15, which could technically have been said to have been planned to release in 2009-10, instead releasing 6-7 years later. This is less a warning about the inherent risks of crowdfunding and more a self-serving rant from someone who's too compulsive to understand the difference between crowdfunding and pre-ordering themselves. Seriously, look at this poo poo: "Soulbound Studios is going to require another $2 Million more than that to get anywhere near completion. And with server hosting fees, QA work, etc., it would really be better if that was up around $3M instead." How does that statement - in which they're perfectly concise in saying that this is to get them somewhere "near completion" - morph into "That right there is a stone-cold association between completion - or, at least, "nEaR cOmPlEtIoN" - and $3m more in funding.". That inference is simply untenable. This amounts to "They guessed at a cost and time, and got it wrong, therefore SCAM!!!!!". Know what you'd be on firmer ground with? The part about them using Kickstarter funding as proof of interest to other publishers. Shenmue 3 pulled the same poo poo, as did Mighty No. 9, and people were furious about that because it's a flagrant abuse of how those crowdfunding campaigns were presented. As I don't see any early statements regarding this being the intent here I have to agree with the video that this is an attempt to retrospectively justify their seeking of publishers for additional funding. That criticism has a rock-solid basis. Whining about release dates and poor funding estimates is not, and actually says far more about the irresponsibility of anyone who adopts that view and/or backs such a campaign in the expectation of viewing those dates/funding estimates as legally binding. There's also something to the discrepancy between recent statements, with one strongly implying that development is indefinitely halted while another states otherwise. That sounds like someone trying to emotionally blackmail a captive audience, so I'd keep a very close eye on that. Still, though, none of that requires the earlier missteps in logic or comprehension, and are harmed by association with them. Try to avoid poisoning the well. ^^^ May or may not be a Star Citizen backer   8 million is chicken feed compared to others that shall not be mentioned lest they descend upon this sub.

The White Dragon posted:wait elite dangerous has pvp? or is this stupid pie in the sky poo poo? because i've always been a little interested in space euro truck sim but honestly i hate pvp so much that if it's always-on then i'm just gonna hard pass on it ED has 3 modes you can play in, Open, Private Group, Solo. All play on the same "server" but who you can meet depends on the mode you pick. Open is the de facto PvP mode as you can shoot at any other players you meet in Open if you want. You can try and pirate them or just blow them up. Some will fight back, some will call you nasty names after you blow them up, some will escape and laugh at you, some will not communicate even if you do blow them up. Some might send you a GG. PvP is terribly unbalanced though since if you are not flying a combat fitted ship, it means you have sacrificed combat ability to do something else, not to mention the massive difference in capabilities of ships from the big to the small. Having said that, between competent combat pilots you do see David vs Goliath situations as bigger ships tend to be less manouverable and vulnerable to competent pilots flying smaller more agile ships. When i play in open, which is rare, i'll generally stick to flying fast ships. The imperial clipper is great for flying in open. Decent capacity but one of the fastest ships in the game. Even if interdicted, not many ships can keep up with it, and if they can, it means they have sacrificed carrying heavy armour, which is rare for PvPers to do, because it makes them weak against other PvPers.

I keep thinking I'll get back into it and putter around in my Python.

  it's a bullshit made-up task, and because you noticed we're removing it from the roadmap So one of the only gameplay features actually on this patch is not real, and CIG claims they didn't even know it existed. How can anyone on here not become more skeptical of this project on a daily basis. I've been around since the beginning. I am not a 'refundian'. I have defended the game from lots of criticism while doling out where appropriate. I understand it may take a while, which I am not worried about. But the lack of transparency this last year has been astounding. Especially regarding Squadron 42. They just don't give a gently caress about keeping us in the know anymore, and that is very worrisome. Like I wonder what's actually happening here.
