CrazyLoon posted:Well, given that they've offered ingame rewards, for advertising this non-game to other gamers that are not yet Star Citizens and in their cult-like manner, it's not just a *feeling* of a pyramid scheme. By this point it is a completely honest-to-goodness one, as admitted by CIG themselves! Yeah, it takes some serious balls to roll out a massive referral scheme when you are selling something that does not yet exist.

LCL-Dead posted:poo poo, you want to talk disappointment? How about the turn Halo took after MS bought them out and it went from a free-roam sandbox on the ring to the linear slugfest that released on the xbox. You were originally supposed to be able to fly/drive everything and there were easily half a dozen more vehicles planned than what came in the release. That was one of the first games I ever obsessed over during it's development phase. Yeah, I remember. As a Mac user back then, you were desperate for anything at all to play, and here Bungie promised us the world. Maybe it was for the best though? Would Halo have been stuck in the SC limbo if MS hadn't bought it and slashed and burned?

Bedshaped posted:Those of you (looking at Loiosh) who want a :sperg: simulation with 80 page manuals. Look no further than Rogue System Oh, I'll have to check that out. I'm actually also one of those people who occasionally enjoy a good complex sim. I'm (slowly) trying to learn to fly and manage systems in Falcon BMS 4.33, and I fire up a flight of the A-10C Warthog in DCS once in a while. Learning systems can be fun. But SC, bless its little black heart, appears to be complex just as a surface veneer. What I've tried is no more complex in reality than Elite, just obfuscated a bit more.

Paladinus posted:What is gameplay? I've watched about several hours of people running through some corridors and clipping through ships at this point, but I still have no idea what this game is supposed to be. It's whatever you can imagine! That's the draw of this game, since they never explain anything it is everything to everyone simultaneously. But yeah, I agree that there are glimpses of fun and good gameplay in what I've seen of 2.0. But can anyone honestly claim that it's 15000$ gameplay? Or 5000$ gameplay? Even 250$ gameplay? I would probably spend 24.99 if it was something that was just released on early access for Steam or something. But there's no loving way that the people who spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on it will get anything amounting to their money's worth. But oh, they'll tell themselves they've have.

Iglocska posted:Seriously a 60 hour head-start on progression in an MMO is not pay to win. What would be pay to win would be a ship that is exclusive to backers. I'll post my thoughts again, to make the point clearer: There's a serious balancing problem with the value of ships that CR has brought onto himself. Either they'll make the ships attainable through doable grinding. This means, due to people being the way they are, that within a few days of release people who payed the bare minimum to get into the game will be riding around in ships that whales have been paying thousands of dollars for. This will make whales extremely unhappy. Or, the big ships will be nearly unattainable for anyone but the most insane. Whales will be happy, but the game will be blatantly pay to win (or at least, pay to gain massive advantages). e: Seriously, if you sell something for 2.500 loving united states dollars, you attach a certain notion of value onto it.

Iglocska posted:Any ship that you get is a token gift to you for donating money for them, whoever doesn't agree with this is an idiot. I know that this is the "official" reasoning, but it is complete bullshit. People aren't "donating", they are buying ships. They are blatantly buying ships. Look at the marketing. The sales. The web-store. The people bragging about their purchases. CIG can claim all the way that it is friendly donations with token gifts as thanks, just as you say above, but we know it ain't true.

Long unskippable animations for ~immersion~ are cool and make you go whoa. For the first one or two times. Then you start mashing the buttons in the vain hope of skipping them, and you tear out your hair when someone kills you while you are stuck in an artisinal bespoke getting off the toilet animation.

Okay, I'm having a real hard time keeping up with all the new cult terminology, but what the gently caress is "unmelt"? I get that melting is turning ships* into store credit to buy other ships**, but how do you unmelt? You turn store credit into ships? Isn't that what, you know, a store does anyway? *Ships that most likely does not exist other than as jpgs **Likely newer ships that only exists as coke flashes in Croberts mind

A good game designer knows what is essential to retain in order for the player to be immersed, and what is just a hassle and a time steal. Good flight models and well-implemented physics are essential for immersion. ~High-fidelity~ unskippable animations to get up, sit down, open doors, climb ladders etc are a hassle and a time waster. They look impressive the first time, then the next time the player will be banging on his keyboard to skip them. Walking everywhere? Hoo boy. I'll admit, I've tried to do that in MMOs or RPGs to "roleplay" a bit. It's fun, for like 10 seconds and then you realize that you are walking for the sake of walking in a goddamn videogame and you start sprinting to get where you need to be to actually play the game and have fun. Point is, Crobberts and his fans are incapable of distinguishing between the two.

Barnsy posted:All these wankers should be forced to play an hour of DCS and try and start and take-off a plane (say the A-10) from cold & dark (takes ~15 mins). We'll see how they really like not skipping through steps... Hey hey, it's only around 8 minutes if you have an effective checklist and start the EGI-alignment as soon as you've got APU power.  As a side note on open development, I read the Elite Dangerous newsletter that I received yesterday, and I see multi-crew, an in-depth avatar maker, crafting and a few other things. And not only do I believe that these things actually exist as something other than fevered dreams, I believe that they will be delivered in a reasonable time frame. The mood at CIG must be akin to late april '45 in the Führer bunker as every sales point SC has is rapidly being overtaken by competitors that actually make playable games and not tech-demos. To compare and contrast the respective newsletters from Frontier and RSI/CIG is an enlightening exercise in what "open development" really is. The RSI newsletters are all gloss and sales, lofty goals translated into fancy words that reveal nothing about mechanics or gameplay. The Frontier ones often go into nitty-gritty detail of behind the scenes mechanics, numbers and formulas that affect gameplay, balance discussions and so forth. It's really quite staggering, what SC people delude themselves into thinking when they coin SC the "most open development ever."

Young Freud posted:I wanted to get with that earlier when we were talking about Star Marine. CRob is adamant about that holo-emitter being a real gamechanger, since he brought it up in that "COD killer" article as well as in the last Star Marine demo. The thing is that we've had stuff like that in games like Duke Nukem 3D before and you can see stuff similar in theory to it in games like Counter-Strike and Team Fortress 2 when players make decoy sprays of Spies and Snipers. poo poo, it looks like Halo 3 has had hologram drops. It's not that big of a deal I know we joke around about it, but it really does seem like it all comes down to CR not having played a game or even looked at one since his glory days. He comes up with these brilliant new features, not realizing that they have been around in games for years and years, or have been discarded as bad ideas already by the industry.
