Milky Moor posted:so i'm not going to read all this thread Derek Smart who made a bunch of games nobody played or liked started to wind up CIG by basically saying what everyone has known for like the last 2 years: Star Citizen isn't coming out in any state resembling what they've promised at this point and the feature creep is gonna kill the game. A few ex-employees of CIG started talking poo poo too and a lot of what they said lined up with what DS was saying so game journos are rubbing their sleepy eyes and Escapist actually did some no poo poo sorta journalism, shocking and outraging the Star Citizens who responded by buying more $900 ships. Oh also Chris Roberts spent 8 hours writing a response to the Escapist article that adresses maybe two points and spends the next 9000 words savaging Derek Smart (who has nothing to do with the article in question other than hes been saying similar things) and calling the author of the article a Gamergater. Its an incredibly bad peice of writing that confirms the major thrust of the accusations: that nobody can control Chris Roberts and he doesn't have any idea what he's doing.

quote:I decided last week that I will continue to throw money at this project on a monthly basis for however long it takes. It might not be that much, but it's my way to say FU to nonsense like this. Man the comments on the Chairman's meltdown are ... interesting. Also a whole shitload of people buying the $900 ships and begging Chris to start a stretch goal to get lawyers to kill Derek and the Escapist. My favs though are the ones where all the people decide they're making history and going to save PC gaming (which is... as strong as its ever been?) and liken people pointing out that $90 million dollars and 3 years later theres sweet gently caress all to show to people who called the Wright brothers or Abe Lincoln mad.

Do you have to pay for each module or something? I saw someone talking about the FPS module being $5 more than they said it would. Are they selling people the "game" peicemeal or something?

SirTagz posted:Comparing Sandy to WMD-s is cute, but I think you guys keep missing the crucial point. It does not matter if the story is true or not. The only thing that matters is the money. Do they have it or not. Well there's also the case of is the game possible to make? Can you make a seamless living, multiplayer universe where dozens of people control capital ships and seamlessly transition into first person shooting inside every ship and planet? Can you do this in Cryengine? No you can't.

If the game actually came out (lol) there'd be enough whales to supply the rest of the world with server access. Also why does Christ Roberts have such poo poo hair for a millionaire?

This is going to be extremely bad press for them, I doubt mainstream game journos are part of the cult so they'll be reporting and podcasting on this just repeating the allegations and talking about how expensive and unfinished the game is and how angry the letters have been.

Rincewinds posted:Soooo, should I wait until 10 of October to see if there is any interesting coming or should I just ask for a refund now? I have not really followed the development beyond Beer's posts since Elite Dangerous went to Beta, and since he have gone from jovially mocking SC to believing there will be a wave of Refund and buy the game if it comes out. If the game never comes to fruition theres a good chance people won't be refunded if it all goes tits up and thats looking reasonably likely.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14981-Star-Marine-Status-Updatequote:What kind of issues are we talking about? Let me talk about one example of a complicated issue that we feel we need to resolve before the initial release. That is: something is causing weapon aim not to return to the center of the screen where it needs to go. There’s some type of lag that is keeping the aim offset from the center. We have been working on solutions involving modelling, animation, programming and scripting in order to address this and the team feels confident we’re close… it’s looking better than it had, and we hope to show you a ‘before and after’ video next week. haha wait hold on they indefinitly delayed the FPS part of the game because they couldnt get the crosshair to stay in the middle of the screen? JEEEEEEESUS christ.
