A reasonable video about the new mining ROC Grey cat.

I'd wager he will get flamed for it.

This is a perfect video, he's calm and pro SC he goes through the new vehicle with an optimistic tone but it just shows what a poo poo show everything is.

a vehicle for just above entry level mining is added. BUT

*You cant spawn it near anything worth mining, so you must carry it with a ship
*Most ships cannot fit a vehicle as ship size and vehicles were never thought through
*so it only fits in massive expensive ships, so why would you need it any more ?
*it takes 15 mins to load up into a ship and get going and can be frustrating combined with bugs, ramps and 30ks
*mineables are just scattered randomly over the surface meaning this loading process has to be repeated often
*you can scan for minables, but it can only mine one size of rock and you wont know that until you get there
*You make ~12k per hour or about 1 dollar worth of credit if nothing goes wrong

its not tier 0 bit or bugs that is the problem the real problem is, that this is just random stuff thrown together without any planning and hoping it turns into a game some how. It stands out perfectly here.

The devs that put the thing together have done a good job but making a good cog means nothing if you throw it onto a huge scrap heap. $400 million and 9 years for this ?

I dunno. I mean, players already become the turrets, what kind of control can be more complete than that?

Maybe they broke the code that keeps the turrets connected to ships and now they just fly around independently, and they've decided to call it a feature rather than a bug?

You only make 12k per hour because the vehicle itself deletes minerals as you try to suck them up so you only pick up a fraction of what you actually mined.

It’s also one of the best AAA games ever released for PlayStation. Stunning graphics, totally original combat model, massive world, and a lengthy, clever and genuinely interesting story. Oh and there was a fantastic second DLC mission released too.

But,eh, enjoy your bartender I guess Citizens

It's on my list and I'm really hoping it's not going to be another monster hunter, which I totally get is cool for some but I actually refunded. Not cause it was bad but because I was looking for something more narrative than I thought it was

Yes i want to apologize for:

- everyone who felt offended, i certainly did not want to offend trucutru (and also flared)

i will go into commando mode and "take a break" from this beautiful shitshow which is store citizer

Good thing you're apologizing, because you were dangerously close to having to be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, you would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred!

Wing Commander be damned, I'd rather fund the spiritual successor to LEGO Rock Raiders. That thing may have been incomplete, and I was seven when I last played it, but it was the only strategy-mining game that was actually fun.

Does Star Citizen have any aliens to shoot, or is it cheaper to stick to human foes because you can buy them cheap off an asset shop?

Just another lame effort to cover up another Derek Smart alt.

We all know that it's you Derek.

As if you have not already retired an alt before.

The same dudes are then arguing that CIG "should take their time" so that they release stuff to their quality standards, which I find absolutely hilarious.

My theory is that this is what actually led to our current derision for the game.

Back when goons were all over SC and couldn't wait for it to come out (2014?) CIG finally released their female character models, they hoped to great acclaim -- but not only were they blatantly sexualized and unrealistic, they also didn't work. The thread reacted very badly -- "how could they gently caress up this bad on something so basic?" and that's when the thread began to change from theorycrafting and expectation into relentless mockery.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4exdtKmfZLA&t=69s

there was a time when this was easily the most enjoyable spaceflight and fight experience on the market... half a decade and 200.000.000 Dollars ago. Makes you wonder what the hell happened in the meantime.

Oh right there were actual competent people working on it back then.

It blows my mind when I see new gameplay videos, because back then it was a game that was definitely not fun but had the bones to become fun, to something not only not fun but with the bones shattered into dust. It's that that moved my opinion from "it's not a scam, just incompetence and scope creep" in the early years to "lol it's obviously a scam" now, because they pretty clearly intentionally scuttled the viable game they had because they knew the whale bux valve would get turned off if they released something.
