D_Smart posted:...and taken over $100M out of gamers coffers. That hurts even more. Though most people don't even think about that part. Partly because they've got a number of people who threw thousand of dollars at them? Back when they hit a million "backers", the estimate came to about $90 per backer, even though that number was inflated because they counted free accounts and whatever, so the actual amount per backer was even higher, which is not really something normal in the video gaming world as far as I know?

When this steaming shitpile collapses in on itself, is it actually going to make gaming history or is it just going to be a footnote? Who is honestly going to be suprised apart from the die hard whales?

Of course it's nonsense, but how can cro have his movie without mocap? As it stands, SC is full of capably made art assets that only work well as static objects because *someone* won't compromise.

Mendrian posted:I know spergs imagine serving drinks online but why in hell would anyone ever buy drinks? Even if you take CR at his word and imagine everything comes to pass and is amazing - why? Anyone who's ever played any of the major MMOS knows that that nobody actually hangs out at inns. Isn't the supposed point of that serving drinks to your fake space passengers so they don't throw fake space tantrums?

quote:You know that old adage about "act with what you know"? Those words, used by Sandi in that recorded talent tape, were used on someone within CS dead in front of the Santa Monica HR person. The CS person was not fired that day. The CS person left. I must be really dense because I don't understand what happened there, can someone explain using stupid people words?

gently caress, I WAS being dense - I was wondering why "act with what you know" would be words that are the breaking point in someone quitting their job. Then I watched the video and it slowly clicked. Thanks and hvala, Whiskey and Loon.

I'm trying to think of a scenario where CCP allowed EVE players to permanently "own" a ship, so no matter what happens to it, you always have it - you get blown up, clone in a station and you have your ship waiting for you again, modules and all. I honestly can't think of a scenario that isn't a clusteruck.

I actually watched Fuzzy's trailer and for an indie production it's not bad. Acting and voice work is pretty loving bad and the concept is generic, but the execution is likable. Let me put it this way - I'd be far far happier being attached to that project than to SC.

You're far more invested in this than I am, I only saw something about making fun of his work and link to his work, had no idea of the story behind it. Now that I do, for gently caress's sake fuzzy, don't learn business practices from c-ro!

El Spamo posted:Seriouspost: Someone mentioned about LTI being like EVE letting you buy from them a guaranteed fitted and ready to fly ship to have if you get blown out of space and don't have anything handy. That was probably me and I didn't mean rookie ships. I just tried imagining if you could, I dunno, insure a black ops with real money to have it forever and what it would do to the game (nothing good).

Colostomy Bag posted:Sounds like you had a better experience than most. Probably because I didn't attempt to play this for more than about 10 minutes. Most of that time was spent lost on the stupid concourse (what's the point of that bland uninteresting thing) or trying to figure out controls without going to options (thanks to helpful non-existant tips). Ok, it's possible I also spent most of that time watching forced animations which are really loving annoying. Yes, I definitely want to watch an airlock cycle and a door slowly open all the time. One thing I did like was getting into one of those ships and watching the cockpit close on you, but to call that a positive gameplay feature would be... becoming a redditor.

These poor backers, they don't dare criticize any aspect of the game without apologizing profusely and assuring everyone they actually love it. Like, for each word of criticism there's about 50 of assurance and apologies. What do you call that condition?

G0RF posted:5:04 - AN INGAME SPACESHIP SHOW-ROOM!: They are working on animations of NPCs in a spaceship showroom-- using mo-cap animations to have salesman pitching ships, customers reacting, and champagne being served. WTF?! Commando, this would be called immersive realism, a term you're obviously not familiar with. Get educated or you won't last long in the 'Universe. (making stuff like that is relatively easy, making actualy gameplay mechanics is apparently beyond them)

Heh, it doesn't even fit all the way, c'mon modelers! So, emphasis is apparently on flashy stuff to look at, not so much actual game mechanics. Sounds good to me! edit: Am I thinking of style over substance? I think I am!

And for reference, if you're a sedentary gently caress at 220 pounds like I am, your intake to maintain weight is 2300-2400 calories daily as a very rough estimate. And maintaining weight as a fat sedentary gently caress is a bad idea as well.

I think it's more of an incompetence thing still, Roberts doesn't care how something works, it just has to fit his vision (of looking cool AS gently caress)
