ggangensis posted:I've just watched a gameplay video* of Renegade X, a remake of C&C Renegade using UE3. Looks pretty nice for a fan project and reminded me that comparing SC or ToW to a mod is an insult to modders. The level of amateurishness and incompetence from CIG is really a thing of its own and I tend to forget that Indies or Hobbyists release more stable and polished stuff these days. And if a mod project fails, well, I'm pretty sure most modders haven't scammed ~250 million dollars out of their users. I think the GoldenEye source mod also works better than both ToW or Star Marine, so yeah

Mostly what I remember is proper organization of GDI Engineers being pretty difficult to stop because NOD's obelisk of light couldn't fire fast enough to kill 3 of them before they could C4 it into the ground. Or cheesing it up with the GDI rocket truck things from across the map because they could hit the tip of the obelisk from their own base. I'm starting to realize that the obelisk kind of sucked.

Solarin posted:Chris fires people who tell him his plan is doomed. Or people that don't make the pixel bloom that way This is exactly the stuff that lets me dislike Chris Roberts on a personal level. This guy is just a big rear end in a top hat. It started with his lies, his disrespectful behavior towards the work of his employees ("This interface has to die horribly") and his loving micromanagement. So... this guy wrote some simple games for 8 bit micros in the 80s, directed a few FMV-sequences in the 90s, got the boot from Microsoft in the 2000s and vegetates as a used car dealer the following years. So what? How does any of this qualify this hack to lead a 500+ person company? He has neither the management- nor interpersonal skills, let alone technical prowess. This is literally the last guy you want to give a role as decision-maker. He is incapable of admitting he was wrong or that someone did good work, despite not being a 100% what he wanted. He comes across like this spoiled child that wants to make the rules in the sandbox, no matter what. The idea alone of having to work for such a piece of poo poo is sickening, and I'am pretty sure this guy is one of the main reasons no highly skilled specialist in a given field wants to work in his hellhole. Rant over, but there are moments when it completely baffles me how anyone can give money to his slug of a person after 8 years of constant failure.

Inacio posted:the new dragonfly hud is here guys! I have to wonder about things like this. That neon-green lighting in there is just ridiculous. Cars, for decades, have had dimmable dashboard lights because they know in low-light environments you want as little ambient light as possible so you can see well. So now that you're in space, where it's VERY DARK, you want a neon lit dashboard?

So now that you're in space, where it's VERY DARK, you want a neon lit dashboard? I mean, you probably want a bright light when you're driving in a very dark environment, but the light is traditionally pointed ahead of your vehicle, not right in your face

And if a mod project fails, well, I'm pretty sure most modders haven't scammed ~250 million dollars out of their users. First off, I'm glad EA stopped dicking around with the IP and let Petroglyph studios (founded by ex-westwood employees after Ea dissolved them) work on C&C Remastered. It is absolutely worth it. Second,I completely missed Renegade X when it first came out. I played the poo poo out of the original one, and this team's dedication is pretty inspiring. poo poo let's not forget about mods and games that did so well and were so impressive and they became legitimate purchasable games, like Counterstrike, Day of defeat, Insurgency, Red Orchestra, Black Mesa. Star Citizen on the outside had everything it could possibly hope for. A dedicated fanbase, a long drought of space games, a deal and backing of crytek with the engine. They chose to be so astronomically greedy while touting that they are the underdog, it really is disgusting. I was worried that they not only posioned the well of crowdfunding forever, but ultimately be final nail in the coffin of the very genre they claim to be rescuing. The only positive I can see from this is that interest for space games are coming back despite CIGs efforts to try and end it.

Bumble He posted:you drop the hammer on chris pretty hard here, my verdict would not be that devastating i guess. That's my hope, too. Chris' appearances and the soundtrack where the two best things that came out of this. The 2015 holiday stream where he played his own creation was peak-Chris Roberts. Or the Sandworm that never did that before. Never. But sadly, even on that front Chris fails to deliver nowadays. Anyway, I get the impression that he saw all of this as a big, personal playground: - He feels like doing mo-cap with AAA-actors, so he just does it. Hiring someone with actual experience in this field? Nah, where is the fun in that? Results 6 years later: None - Failing to deliver anything of substance over 8 years with SQ42 M.I.A.? You know what, I feel like designing moon clothes, that's what's important right now. - Absolutely no idea what this guy is doing? Well, it must be poo poo anyway, let him redo it for some superficial reason pulled straight from my rear end. I think this guy has a serious problem trusting his employees and delegating stuff. His approach might have worked in the early 90s when dev-teams where way smaller, but in todays video game industry? drat, the end credits for Infinite Warfare rolled for five full minutes. If you have someone at the helm who's convinced.. no, knows he could do every single task better himself ("I judge times by how fast I could do it" - CRobs) is just a recipe for failure. However as a social experiment it's interesting: "What happens if you give a Narcissist unlimited money?". I think every single publisher would have canned this project, at the latest in 2015 and cut the losses. But now with crowdfunding, who knows, I think the title of the most expensive failure in video game history is all but safe. The message announcing the end of the project will blame other people and factors, that's a given with Chris, but it will be a funny read nonetheless. But maybe this will never happen, I don't think that Chris' disappearance is a coincidence. It might be he's going through a divorce right now, fighting for his mansion, and just has other things on his mind than Star Citizen. But it could also be the case that Calders tasked some people with looking a bit deeper into their investment. Maybe they conducted anonymous surveys with the employees, attended some meetings, whatever, but it became clear pretty fast that every missed deadline, every wasted dollar and every bad decision lead to Chris. So they had a talk with him, convincing him it would be better if he stays in the background for now. With his paycheck intact, of course. The video...  I know, I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but the guy in the pillar talk video with the funny haircut looks mentally challenged and even physically unable to criticize Chris. drat.

 : And taking into account a bunch of awful subreddits that weren't banned, the refunds subreddit won't probably be dealt with either being tame in comparison. And who knows, maybe Reddit considers Star Citizen supporters who don't like being harassed as some kind of majority and then it is perfectly okay to be harassed according to the updated policy. : I backed up the entire subreddit.there is a tool on "data hoarders" that makes it really easy. there is a tool for twitter, and even the something aweful's own website. makes keyword searching fun. super easy. yeah I have a feeling their subreddit is going to need to change. its not a refund sub. its literally an attack platform to perform harassment. the many many logic fallacies are their only friend. Too bad you have to be able to spell in order to properly use the keyword search function.
