Jesus Derek, this is a crazypants post.

Are you seriously letting MoMA get under your skin about a goddamn microphone? I'm offering you genuine advice here: you're coming across like Trump at the first debate.

Don't listen to that guy Derek, you're doing Gods work. Never back down, never surrender

Actually the GameStar article is still pretty optimistic. The say that the hype is CIGs (and Chris') fault, that the alpha is unstable as gently caress, but also that the shown demo was very impressive and that while Chris' honest and true fascination and expectations for the project are to blame for unnessecary hype, they are necessary for a crowdfunding project of this scope. The author also said that waiting is no problem and all complains are basically first world problems because SC is so grand anyway (which begs the age-old question of "How much are you in for commando?")

Yeah, I wish I was making that last part up too.

The FPS looks utter crap still. I cringe everytime they show it.

This is going to be Freelancer again. Somebody will buy out CiG and tell Chris to go away and what little of the game that works will be released within a year of the buyout.

That only worked because MS had already invested in Freelancer. Nobody is going to buy this shitshow and its mountain of engineering debt

/r/StarCitizen "Help me reason with a skeptical friend on SC":
Hello
My mate argument is that the Leir demo was a waste of time, that was constructed and staged only for the purpose of the show, that does not represent true gameplay we will found in SC and that we would be able to play ourselves.
He goes as far as to say this stuff is akin to NMS constructed demos with all the dinosaurs and beautiful stuff.
I responded this is first and foremost them showing progress and putting multiple systems together, that it could represent an example mission and that the gameplay we saw will be what we will be able to experience as players.
If you know more than me please chime in with some counter argument. By the way, was the Homestead scenario in lore at all?

females females girls.

They do have a point though! A good starting point for a MMORPG would be to have a (singular) playable female character model in the game. Of course, they can't have that because Chris Roberts needs his mocrap and will stop at nothing to unify the entire game for maximum realness!

Early days.
ALSO

I still dont get whats so loving hard about making a bloody female character model.


Or a loving patcher. Or a semi-working stand-alone fps in cryengine.

Evocati are still playing the 2.5 tweak that changes flight mechanics.

If CIG thinks they need to get out 2.6 this tweak will be the new 2.6 so fast you wont have time to blink. Star Marine sadly delayed for a bit because someones dog fell down a ladder. Buy this new Spergomobile meanwhile, only 450$

Anyone remember when some developer breaking his wrist delayed an important patch for some weeks? In a 350 people company?

I still can't decide whats worse - That they thought anybody would buy that excuse or that CIG is incompetent enough for that to actually happen

Pretty sure this sale will be the worst yet , and there will shortly be a public apology from Lando or maybe Roberts himself to try and temper some of the angry citizens

You guys really think this is it? I feel like the whales have been conditioned so hard, that any type of SQ42 gameplay footage could swing the pendulum in CIGs favor, no matter how bad it objectively is.

And that should be possible to do, even for CIG who set new records for being inept every loving day. The question is how self-deluded Chris is and if he sees this as a problem they have to fix asap or if he goes on in his merry ways, seeking perfection his subpar mind (and todays technology ffs) can't possibly deliver?
