Chin posted:That's fair, but the BBC piece was almost pro-SC propaganda. They mischaracterized the game as primarily crowd-funded and downplayed the ship sales by only briefly mentioning them with a screenshot of a $45 ship purchase. Even in a fluff piece any quasi-journalist should at least mention that there are ships people are buying for hundreds and thousands of dollars -- and not necessarily as a negative/shocking aspect of the story, it's simply a significant point of interest. They also called it massively multiplayer in the present tense, among other inaccuracies/falsifications. I'm going to guess that's because someone wrote it for them and then they cashed a check. Gaming journalism is a few steps removed from The Jungle. e; That came across as patronizing. That was not my intent. Dusty Lens fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Feb 13, 2016 |

They spent many many years as an institution pretending their poster-boy charity celebrity wasn't raping mentally disabled kids, I'm not sure what anyone expects from them these days.

Yikes didn't know the BBC was in that sorry of a state. You'd think state-funded journalists wouldn't need to be quite so corrupt and lazy as Polygon or whatever. I am definitely naive.

robot roll call posted:I clicked EightAce's post history and read the most recent page and man that poo poo is dark. Like, I know the entire point of this thread is to make fun of how hosed this whole thing is, but...this poo poo is hosed. CIG are some immoral bastards if he's even kind of right about the future of this game. I feel legitimately sorry for all the true believers who have donated astronomical amounts to this poo poo. Well, its possible one of our very own SA goers in this thread has "donated" $125,800 or something ridiculous. Who was it... Chocobo? Or did he just do a screen grab from someones account? Cant remember.

One thing I don't understand is why people like B'tak and Krill01 are convinced that Star Citizen is the game for them. Both of them want to avoid other players like the plague yet Star Citizen is a multiplayer game. B'tak continually devises new mechanics to that end. Krill01 doesn't just want to opt out of PvP, they also want to completely avoid economic competition with other players. I can't see this ending well for either of them even if the game did come out as promised.

Yeah in E:D you can just leave populated space and scan planets and stars forever. You can also play solo so you don't get instanced with other PCs, but NPCs can still interdict you and blow you up.

We've got so many people without brains, hearts or courage to pick from on the way to meet a guy who is basically pulling a whole lot of bullshit on people from behind a curtain.

I can't see this ending well for either of them even if the game did come out as promised. They completely believe the tripe CIG is selling them about private servers and imagining a whole safety net that doesn't exist. A multiplayer game with no PvP whatsoever. You may as well play Space Minecraft in creative mode, there's no consequences and no economy there either. The minute there are consequences, an economy is implied, and these guys are terrified of consequences. I don't even understand why they'd put up with believable physics because surely that's going to impose limitations they can't bear. But without some kind of economy MMO's are just dead. Even single-player strategy games rely on them. It's a paradigm of gaming we haven't found an alternative for outside a creative sandbox.

I can't wait until the day E:D gets multi-crew ships running and someone in the brown sea points out that E:D is offering everything the SC PTU is supposed to have. Planetary landings, multi-crew ships, a PvP slider... everything except and rising Hollywood starlet Sandi Gardiner.They'll be shouted down at first, but eventually the Shitizens will get pissed off after episode 381 of Reverse The Verse is full of "well, we're working on the vision for how to implement procedural birds" while 70% of the ships the whales bought aren't even viewable in the hangar. This is beyond a tire fire, it's the entire Rio Grande stacked with 20 feet of tires set on fire. It's amazing.
