These dog tags are much like the game they belong too, shiny, lacking any depth or utility and likely to be mistaken for something interesting.

D1E posted:Cutscenes in SQ42. Especially since they're porting it to the Wii now, there's no way that poo poo will appear in-engine in-game. I for one welcome the fidelity that comes with Red Steel style cutscenes and acting quality. Only the best from Croberts teams. *Note: Game may be a visual nov- normal nove-... Ghost written shovelware book.

Brazilianpeanutwar posted:"I WANTED a hairy roberts not a hairless sandi!" *throws it back in your face* Don't you understand how non-consensual drink selection is horrible? Let me go on a rambling diatribe about the horrors and how it relates to real world problems. Or short answer: It's cute that you think he'd allow a PC anywhere close to his precious avatar to make or deliver a drink.

That was a game that not only existed, but was semi-reliably capable of working despite being built by a literal 6 year old. They have nothing in common.

Roflan posted:Don't forget that ME was Bioware's first action game of any type. KotOR and Jade Empire were third person and 3d, but they were also essentially turn based. Though Jade Empire tried action a little, it was mostly an illusion. Alpha Protocol comes to mind, though I much, much preferred Alpha Protocol's writing. You know, on a side note. If they really want to find a manual override for turrets, why not turn it into a cellphone app. Someone suggest that Croberts use QR codes to manually control turrets for your friends.

Samizdata posted:Old Man's War. But their tech was pretty advanced. The title comes from the fact that lots of old people sign up towards the ends of their lives when they have nothing left. The military makes them a gene-spliced superbody and copies their consciousness into it. And even with the awesome weapons and superbodies, the casualty rates are savage. The Forever War had the finger laser things if I remember right, I don't actually remember that book having any other military guns other than the Mad Max Earth when he came back the first time. It's been a while though. Would be fun to see CIG try to handle Relativity since they're going for the whole fidelity thing.

So, a world where players aren't controlled by things like rules, but they can only do things I want them to do. Because... I wonder if he's the sort of guy that would grief low level areas in pvp servers, then flip his poo poo when someone like me would build a literal campfire next to his corpse because I thought it was funnier.

MilesK posted:I assume you've already seen this. This is from a while back, but gently caress it, this thread moves too fast (Or not fast enough when it dipped into loving D&D). I legitimately want to hear Romero's thoughts on this project. The guy has to be at least somewhat self-aware after all this time. The insight into building a tire fire from someone who has done it before would be fascinating. While we're on it, any of the Kaos studios or 38 Studios devs would have some interesting views too, I'm sure. I'm almost sad this won't actually happen.

I missed the stream, but the Space Marine's head was far more interesting than anything CIG could poo poo out and fling around. I can't tell if the few guys defending the game were us being sarcastic or not. It's amazing when parody hits so close to home.

spacetoaster posted:I'm all about making fun of stolen valor cases, but you gotta be sure about that stuff because there are dudes who will go over the top if you call someone out on it. There are a few infamous ones including Shipley visiting the fruitcake in Florida and the adventures in that insanity. There are a few places that do it anyway and those are some of my favorite stories to read. You end up with guys that walk into a major military base during basic graduation and try to dress down a drill sergeant by pretending to be a Colonel, wearing Air Force Blues, a fruit salad ribbon rack literally over his shoulder and slacks bloused into his desert combat boots. Turns out the guy had been huffing shoe shine before he did this too. What I'm saying is, the Stolen Valor guys and Star Citizens are about equal in terms of comedy and just as likely to dox and harass you.

KiddieGrinder posted:What? Is there more to this? I'd love to read about it. I had apparently remembered the rank wrong. Google Master Sergeant Soup Sandwich and you'll find pictures of him and a milblog raking him over the coals. Bernath is the guy that had Shipley show up and call him out on his poo poo.

Goobs posted:This one is one of the classic SV videos, makes me laugh every time. Aside from Soup Sandwich, this guy  who claimed to be SF and a Vampire, or the guy that photoshopped a Splinter Cell image for his Shovel Combat training while claiming to be a retired Ranger are probably my favorites. Video's drat good though.

spacetoaster posted:That's what scares me about it. I've been in 20 freaking years, and in that time the uniforms have changed many times. I bet, right now, you could probably find something out of regulation on a lot of Soldiers just because the regulations and uniforms are changing so much. The places I usually hit up to check for Stolen Valor posts usually don't post without either a photo that's so blatantly hosed up you can't help, but notice or if they've got a DD214 to verify it, but yeah, serious problem when legit guys are called out.

Happy Sisyphus posted:any interest in an alien language for solar plebeian? Between bouts of overtime, I'm working on translating a few of the startups into two other languages, loving with the audio, handing them off to a friend to see what they hear, blending them and using that as an alien script. Not going to lie though just cannibalizing the transcripts of Croberts screwing the pooch live would take a hell of a lot less effort.

Bolo, CJ Cherryh's poo poo and for comedy, "The Man Kzin Wars'' to see where Crobber got his career of intellectual theft too.I enjoyed Glen Cook's Dark War (name aside) and Starfisher trilogy too.

Picayune posted:Ben and Alexis kinda look like they were lifted from something by Lar deSouza, although that guy is so prolific that finding the actual drawings would be beyond me. (Also I'd have to read Least I Could Do. Blech.) Ben's design kept reminding me of Whomp! and it was a pain in the rear end trying to remember the name of that comic.

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:Crowdfunding is the worst thing that has happened since the Korean "free"2play model. Risk of Rain Hairbrained Schemes Squad Descent Underground (Which fills your criteria, but so far feels decent) Jotun Diesel Stormers Armello Darkest Dungeon The Long Dark Satellite Reign Undertale Divinity Original Sin Shovel Knight There Came an Echo (Which has a great Easter Egg from Will Wheaton) Factorio Freedom Planet (Writing aside) Elite Dangerous Forced Chivalry Medieval Combat Mercenary Kings Volgarr the Viking Xenonauts Grim Dawn The Banner Saga FTL Wasteland 2 I haven't played, or known someone that's played the other games on that list to vouch for any others, but there's not exactly a bad precedence for Kickstarted games turning out alright. The trick is to realize it's a gamble and recognize when a project is going to reach too far. I heard Crobbert's speech from another Goon and just started laughing, just due to the scope at the time. Well, that and Roberts being a fuckwit who made the Wing Commander Movie.

Madcosby posted:kickstarter isnt what made those games good. that list is pointless. if the people that made ftl didnt get funded but didnt release a game, they'd be idiots. It isn't what made the games good and I never said that kind of poo poo. I said the trick is recognizing which groups weren't overreaching and realizing even then it was a gamble. Additionally, no, not always. Shadowrun Returns being a good example of this thanks to the 2007 FPS game being a fuckup. Kickstarter and Greenlight have allowed a lot of garbage out, but there's decent poo poo to good poo poo mixed in as well.

You asked how much he pissed away on SC. I haven't pissed away any because the pitch alone I knew was out of reach in the time frame, cost and team given. The real question is, refund or not, how much did you piss away on it?
