Since you've been gone for a while, let me catch you up: if the question you are asking is about whether or not any progress had been made or whether the people at the top of top have suffered any consequences, the answer is always, "no."

To drive on the ground. In a spaceship game. They made a dune buggy. I think they made a hand cart? To the fans this means that their dreams of a fully realized scifi universe are coming true, and not that land vehicles are just really easy to make in Cryengine so it's a way to show progress. Any progress at all.

Pushing a hand trolley doesn't always crash the game now. Using an in-game elevator doesn't always result in character death. They haven't run out of gullible whales and new rubes yet.

I believe it's actually a playable game now. just a very tedious and buggy one and content is still only added at a glacial pace. plus they have repeatedly failed to develop the netcode that would actually be needed to deliver anything noteworthy that was promised.

Dear Cloud Imperium Games team, posted:As a long-term supporter since 2016, I would like to briefly share a few thoughts on my part with you. Briefly about myself: I have been playing computer games with passion for about 30 years. I started with the Commodore C64 and now of course I play mostly on the PC. Where there used to be single player games, today multiplayer games are in the foreground. If you've been playing computer games for such a long time, at some point you get the impression that you've seen it all before. Nevertheless, there are always games that are really a milestone and will remain in your memory. Your game Star Citizen, I'm sure, will also be such a game, for the reason that you can tell at every point in the game that the will and the passion are really in the foreground, something really great and unique to create. You are all working on a dream project for us, a game almost too good to be true. With your passion for the development of the game and above all the great communication and closeness to the community, this project will be, I am sure, a complete success.

I love that so many star citizens preface their thoughts with them being gamers for 30 years. As if that gives them more credibility on the delusional garbage they spew. I've been playing games since the Commodore 128 and that doesn't mean I'm a Harvard gaming scholar with tenure. In fact, if you've been a gamer so long it probably explains why your brain is cripplingly broken.

In my thirty years alive, I have cumulatively spent nineteen of them staring at a game screen, I am unable to function as a regular human being and in fact suffer crippling anxiety whenever I am faced with the prospect of venturing outside where I am susceptible to permadeath IRL. Now that I have established my credentials, allow me to explain in detail why Star Citizen is not a scam and why it's actually a good sign that when my character sits down in the cockpit they clip through the bottom of the ship and get sucked into the turbines...

I'm posting 3 times in a row I don't care Did the Lord of the rings games even need advertising lol. I saw a YouTube video and was like oh smooth combat and good graphics wow I'm moved take my money because I'm buying this game for $9.99 on sale like every other game that company has ever made eventually gets to within like 6 months E: no, really, I just saw somebody using what appeared to be a finished product and realized it was probably worth 80% of a movie ticket E: oh thats right actually. The shadow of Mordor or whatever the first one, I bought it because it ran like a dream on a dual core processor and gt730 video card and also looked really nice too. Tbh they really should have advertised more. That game engine was super scalable. When I upgraded my PC two subsequent times (gtx1060 and then 1080ti, higher res monitor ) it looked like a new game each time lol. But importantly it played the same and just as fluidly at lower detail without making you feel like you were living in 1996. There's a lot of technical and contextual reasons for that based on things like lovely console generations etc but that's ultimately kinda moot Worf fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Dec 25, 2021 |
