So I did a test. I knew literally nothing about Wing Commander (the games) and decided I would watch an entire playthrough of 3 and compare it with the blurb of "The Old Man". Is CR so creatively bankrupt that he literally took Col. Blair or whatever his name is, aged him 20 years and gave him a lovely nickname? Not only is the blurb so generic that my view started to fade and I forgot most colours but they couldn't even come up with a different character in any way, shape, or form? Might as well call it Bland Citizen - It's something alright! *Fart*

Because there's no way in hell that there's going to be enough money left to run the servers for this mess for free. Nah, it's easy. They just have one server. One server holds 50 people at a time. You queue up until the guys already playing crash. It won't be a long wait.

Jobbo_Fett posted:Is CR so creatively bankrupt that he literally took Col. Blair or whatever his name is, aged him 20 years and gave him a lovely nickname? I played through, and for the most part enjoyed, the Wing Commander games as a kid and the story was never the attraction. They played OK and looked cool and when you're 12 looking cool goes a long way. Christ, the main enemy were the Kilrathi who liked to Kill and were full of wrath. They also, as I found out a few years later, were pretty much a copy/paste of the Kzin from Larry Niven's Ringworld. Most of the stuff in Wing Commander was just Crobbed from previous fictional works, largely unchanged and what spin he put on it was to the original source materials detriment.

Sarsapariller posted:What baffles me is that people like this apparently believe they have the ability to communicate. How do they get that impression? Do people actually spend the time to decipher this and respond? It doesn't seem like they'd be capable of reading it if you did. The whole forum would devolve into a series of incomprehensible morons making noises at one another, unable even to read each other's unique interpretations of the common language, for some kind of muted sense of having "Contributed." Which... yeah, that's basically the RSI forums. I love that thread because the guy keeps doubling down when someone patiently tries to explain how high school physics works.

As someone who played WC3 and 4 (and had a passing knowledge of the first few games), my response to the first ever SC trailer was basically 'Well, this is an obviously Wing Commander inspired space game, just look at those ship designs'. So, yeah, he is that creatively bankrupt.

I love how the "flight model was garbage" when it's exactly as pitched: Newtonian with a fairly low speed cap to keep engagements fast paced - Freelancer 2.0. It's exactly what the people wanted too, right up until they could play it. I posted a bunch on this topic, and people kept calling me out how wrong I was. Now here we are ![]() And while I personally understand why someone wouldn't like what they got (I like it a lot, because it's fast paced and deadly, a lot unlike elite dangerous), I also find it hilarious how they couldn't see the writing on the hill from miles away. There's tons of poo poo I could throw at the failings of this whole mess, but they nailed that down exactly. People just threw in too much cash for it to not be their dream game ![]()

Sarsapariller posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3vqvvj/ganking_in_the_pu_200_and_beyond/ I just want to thank all the goons participating in Operation gently caress You Sandi for all the fun I have been having ganking people these last few days. When the shitizens realize that Goons haven't gone anywhere but that we are right there ruining their "fun" from day one and the wailing and gnashing of teeth will become unbearable. I bet my left nut that CIGs attempts at putting an end to goon griefing will put the game so out of balance that they'll ruin it all by themselves.

The "Old Man" thing hasn't gotten any better with that hilariously bad bio. I really, really hope they actually release something of SQ42 because if that is the standard of writing it's going to be a laugh riot. Crashes aside this would actually make for a fun game if it was deliberately bad in the vein of Goat Simulator.

So he's relying on CIG to implement at least one of these features, if not both. They've promised so much crap over the years there's gonna be a new shitfit thrown every time they announce another feature has been cut.

It really is a great sign when the fan base for your game wants to be able to pirate, plunder and furry rape other people but how DARE anyone do it to them.

Suggestion: a rape slider where you can select what level of abuse you receive and whether it's carried out by NPCs or other players.

Seems like some people on the official forums are waking up to the fact that CIG's vision of multicrew gameplay is probably going to suck for everyone who's not the pilot. Don't worry too much though, I'm sure croberts is going to find a way to make sitting in a poorly armed low visibility turret for a hour fun.

So moving the slider back and forth would simulate the rape? Would this be like another minigame?

Should make a free demo version of the game where you can only control turrets and ship subsystem stations. edit: if it actually existed in a completed and not broken and actually fun form that is

I suggested the game should be f2p, but a "pilot's license" costs the game box, so people can try it out and see what it looks like, but can't fly a ship. Kinda like what wh40k then did with free to ork. I still think it's a good idea. Of course, brown sea though it was the worst idea because then there'd be so many plebs looking for jobs, it'd be hard to track spies and backstabbers
