Probably, but every other game developer is smart enough not to put it out into wild in that state, especially in this day and age where streamers playing the game early are one of the main way games are marketed now.

Dapper Dan posted:Wait, they're charging for the second episode? Not going the Tell-Tale route and going 'pay once, get all the other episodes'? Does this game have the most exploitative loving funding models in existence? Holy poo poo. They revised their position on this, yes, then threw out the usual handwavium https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/4785275/#Comment_4785275  Essentially their position is that they haven't changed anything at all regarding S42. That the story, characters, setting, plot and everything that they imagined on day 1 of the crowdfunding will 100% be in S42. The second/third game are just that. The second/third game. That those games were announced partway into the development of S42 and that original backers already have part 2 of the trilogy. S42 was supposed to have some 20 hours of gameplay and 50/70 missions. Depending on who you ask. Of course during one video or another it was stated that a "checkpoint" was a mission. So what 50/70 missions means is anyones guess at this point. But a lot of this is from Ben, who is not a reliable source.

Eonwe posted:I really really enjoyed Elite Dangerous but I would often turn in a mission at a base and there wouldn't be an available mission (because my standings weren't high enough) which is really offputting because then I have to go land at another station to maybe get a mission so I stopped playing as much I'm pretty jazzed about the Horizons launch-- but am even moreso about Oculus and Vive launching soon. I hear absolute ravings from Elite / DK2 players-- and with Horizons and looting/crafting right around the corner, I bet the game is going to really start to get interesting. Star Citizen isn't likely to ever really be a VR friendly title. Not with all their herky jerky headbobbing and mandatory 10 second "enter / exit pilot's seat" animations. The only thing I suspect will really work in VR is the ladder climbing animations. Because Star Citizen's work there truly is on par with the best of first person games' ladder climbing animations.

Dapper Dan posted:Thinking on it, I can imagine them putting band-aids on 2.0, releasing a lovely version of SQ42 and considering their game 'released', while they continue to milk money from their backers with ships and credits and massive micro-transactions. Who will then consider themselves 'customers', thereby psychologically freeing them from the 'backer' mentality. This will allow them to spend more money, because, hey, the game is done and they are customers now! It will also alleviate any criticism that Star Citizen isn't done. It is a shipped product and it might be crap, they can use the excuse that they are always continuing to improve while keeping the same dysfunctional process they are using now, only with even less pressure to actually fix things. From what I've seen their issue at the moment is the general gaming public and in particular the media aren't really paying attention because the game is still in development and in theory, if you think of game dev being a magic box where anything can happen, it could all pull together. Once they get to an actual release though that defence is down. The only way I can see CIG scraping through this is if the gaming media just don't care, but with a $100 million crowdfunding campaign behind them it's just too juicy to ignore. SQ42 can't just be "adequate", it needs to be AAA good and out in 2016 and from what I've seen skimming through this thread I don't see that happening.

Ravane posted:I only recently picked up Dark Souls. I lost against the first three guys who invaded me. But then I beat the next three guys because as soon as I saw the "You have been invaded" text, I ran to the closest cramped area because I can't dodge for poo poo, and if I can force the opponent to not be able to dodge roll either, I actually have a chance at winning. In all six of those fights, I haven't once experienced lag, even when I'm summoned or summoning. I have a pretty great connection though. Ah, a six-fight veteran. I wonder why people even bothered coining the term lagstab for the game since it isn't laggy.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbqKojfohgs

Strange things afoot with the RSI funding counter... Not sure I get what the Chargeback explanation is about... But it sounds like 100 million is right around the corner. I have to believe this will lead to a new wave of articles-- it's too big a milestone not to cover. Yet I gotta think we will see shift in some of the tone. It's been too fawning for too long-- and the question "so what does $100M in crowdfunding get you?" is going to be pretty obvious. Some will just show SQ42 stuff and say "it's happening" but others I think are going to start mixing in a little bit of journalism with their puffpiecing. (Or so I hope.)

It's pretty scary, people are treating the 100m mark like people used to treat getting to that final level in an MMO after beating the same monsters endlessly for the past year. I'm honestly curious to see if things seriously start cooling off after 100m because the next logical milestone would be 150m or 200m.

I don't see it working though. The ironic thing is that CG doesn't need the gaming media anymore. Yeah it helps, but honestly there's no new blood coming in and if they are, they aren't going to be buying much. Especially when people look at what a buggy mess has come out. Its all about juicing their current audience for even more money. They can make a case to them that they're the outsiders and gaming media doesn't 'understand' them and that they're the underdogs because they are crowd funded and the publishers are just jealous of them. The Star Citizens are retarded enough to spin anything Roberts says at this point and ask for no accountability. They eat poo poo and say its pudding. Rather sad, really. Any investor, publisher and even creators would be losing their poo poo if it took 3-4 years for a pre-alpha proof of concept after nearly 100 million dollars.

I bet you they actually have a hell of a lot of content work done because of the whole parallel development thing but the problem is that since they apparently up until recently haven't nailed down the core technology they haven't been able to be putting all the content into the system and looking at it as they go along. This backloads all of the QA work. Those employees think they've been under crunch but they're about to learn a new meaning of the word. The amount of pressure is going to be biblical. As fun as all the pube and scam jokes are, I maintain a healthy skepticism about all the stuff I've been hearing about because at the end of the day, the company financials are not public. The entire money aspect of this project still has a gigantic black curtain around it. Why should I trust that counter at all? Why should I believe all of the money is coming from gamers? This project has open connections to people who were previously involved in criminal activity. The list of companies seems to be as long as one of the many phallic ships in the "Verse. These companies are shuffling money between who knows how many countries. Make no mistake, the game will come out one way or another to avoid a lawsuit and we'll never actually know the details of how the money was spent, or even how much of it was spent. Despite this, I would not at all be surprised if the DS prediction of several people leaving after the Holidays came true. With the relative success they've had with 2.0 this is the absolute PERFECT time to sever all connections with this project and leave on a high note.

Over and over again, the trademark inefficiency of a Chris Roberts process shines through. The Constellation and other ship redesigns. The Illfonic experiment and subsequent code purge. SataBall. The Quadruple Motion Captures. The relocation of studios-- and subsequent relocation of them. The 10 second exit your chair animations. Nothing is efficient, nothing elegant, nothing done quickly, nothing important done right the first time. Not much trivial is either.
