Loiosh posted:I think you'd have to understand my point of view for that. I'm a fan of Eric Robert's work (even though I didn't play Privateer, my friends did and considered it a good game), so I would not be upset with Eric running a studio that is working on this. Then you are letting nostalgia cloud your view. The simplest way is to think, 'What would my reaction be if EA did this?' If you can't, then you aren't being objective. With 94 million, CIG is no longer independent. It cannot be considered as such.

Strategic Tea posted:Wait, so there's been some muppet or other giving money at least once every hour since whenever? I donno, I haven't watched cgi's money ticker for very long. $48 seems like an odd number though, think they're counting sales taxes? Edit: Maybe there are micro transactions that can add up to $48, I was just guessing it was a single $45 stater pack + tax. MilesK fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Nov 12, 2015 |

Only speaking for myself but as long as you aren't being dishonest I have zero problems with someone viewing CIG in the best light, it's even liable to make a more interesting conversation.

At one point it showed over $300,000 in goon purchases for Star Citizen, although once people here realized that you could make a profit selling ships to late arrivals on reddit, the spreadsheet itself was almost immediately out of date.

BMan posted:It's not a sunk cost though, you can still get your money back (maybe). Sorry I didn't make that more clear: I'd like to see them succeed. I'm not interested in making it worse, so I don't want a return; thus, sunk cost. I actually like the designs and such, though I do not do much with the modules that are out now. I haven't been getting my space fix, so been playing things like Solar 2 while waiting for AC: Syndicate to launch on the PC. (I skipped Fallout 4)

Isn't today or yesterday the end of the two weeks for the "feature complete 2.0 multiplayer in two weeks!!!" stuff? I keep thinking that Lesnick said it would be released about 2 weeks ago, but I forget. Anyone have screenshots?

It's unreasonable to expect everyone to share the same level of cynicism and it's useful for someone to voice the more optimistic opinions round here so we don't end up like an inverted reddit echo chamber.

Tank Boy Ken posted:PLANETS HAVE BEEN RELEASED! Hell that looks a lot better than I expected- I wonder how laggy it is? The ultimate irony of all of this is that by the time SC actually comes out, games like Elite and Infinity and Space Engineers are going to have one-upped all of its most important features.

(For those curious, this is under half of what I've gifted to friends on Steam: It's not a sunk cost because you can get a refund. If you're concerned that they're going to fail why not get said refund? You can always buy back in if you change your mind. There is something seriously wrong with the company from the fact that it needs to delay, split and get a third party to pay for refunds to a VC with actually adult money rush to pull it out ASAP. Go take a holiday or buy some games you can play with your refund or if the money isn't that important to you, go donate it to charity and do something more infinitely useful with it instead of leaving it in the dumpster fire.

fuzzknot posted:I really have made popcorn to munch on while watching this train wreck. Try adding Bacon Salt to your popcorn. Not too much though! Make it about 25% of the total salt you add, and it introduces a nice bacon-y flavor to the mix. While I'm sharing ghetto-rear end kitchen tips, if you sprinkle a packet or two of Splenda or Truvia or similar sugar substitute over the popcorn, it'll tast a bit like kettle corn, for zero added calories.

I'm very curious why you wouldn't ask for a refund though if you're skeptical CIG will deliver.

Just post dude, you are infinitely more interesting than Karl or whatever alt Seraph comes up with. People aren't going to agree with you here, and they'll probably be sarcastic or make attempts at humor (to various success), but you haven't broken any rules by not being negative about SC. Mind you, your general outlook is about 3-4 threads too late, but it's not unwelcome now.

I've been enjoying the opportunity to chat here, but if I'm disruptive I'm willing to leave. I'm curious, are you okay with them having spent 10% of their backer's money on motion capture for Squadron 42? That is assuming the 10+ million figure is correct? Wouldn't it make so much more sense to build a functioning game and then if you have money left over, maybe spend some of it on good motion capture and voice acting?

Loiosh posted:In particular with actors, I don't have the budget that was set aside for talent, so I do not have an idea of if it is considered a good expense or not. For myself, I enjoy Gary Oldman, and I really love when celebrity actors show up in games who are good at acting. I enjoyed Kevin Spacy in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, for example. I enjoy Gary Oldman, too. Seems like a solid gent and certainly has had his share of quality parts of the years. Yet if the Bishop speech is any indication, it seems as if he's been asked to bring his A list prestige to a D-grade script, and furthermore, that whatever coaching / direction Chris Roberts gave him on characterization was pretty awful, too. Because rather than bringing OLDMAN GRAVITAS to the big scene he was supposed to carry, he brought only OLD MAN AGITA... It's interesting that even the fanboys expressed reservations about Gary Oldman's "Admiral Bishop" speech- on reddit and RSI forums. We are in strange times if a sperg can get 439 upvotes and Reddit gold for a post that basically says the speech written by CIG, delivered by a Hollywood A-lister, motion captured by the best in industry and animated by an army of CIG devs missed the mark and should be rewritten and reshot to better capture the spirit of Churchill's "Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat" speech.  CIG can't have missed the fact that the centerpiece reveal of their annual BIG SHOW, the one that was supposed to let them completely reassert control over their own winning narrative, ended up prompting a chorus of 'helpful suggestions' to 'fix' what didn't work. Their well-intended suggestions, if implemented, would be catastrophic PR wise and not cheap, either-- that is assuming CIG could even get Oldman to return and do this over again. And yet CIG is building a new motion capture studio in LA, which is helpfully located less than 20 miles from Gary Oldman's home in Los Feliz, if this article is still accurate. I'm not saying they're planning reshoots or anything-- but if they're planning to, it wouldn't be logistically difficult.
