What if they released an ipad app for star citizen where you can take care of your commando's needs like pooping so you dont have to do it while playing the game

Oh boy. I bet getting some kind of dumb Star Citizen related app up right now for $10 $50 would be a gold mine for them.

I love the "expected result" section of CIG bug reports so much. Any other developer would just have you explain how to recreate the glitch but no. CIG needs to be repeatedly told how solid walls are supposed to work.

you guys are celebrating "a" refund. 1. One.

i understand, it's a promise not even your glorious leader and his "legal" could deliver... so some random gets a refund (because he did never downloaded the game and didn't agree to any TOS) and that's what you're taking as a win.

it sounds like he was entitled to one, so cig is doing exactly the right thing

but i ask again... why not let those who want to be fans, be fans instead of assuming they need "saving"?

I like that their supposedly amazing check out the alpha now!!! footage is a guy standing in the back of a moving ship while NOT MOVING AT ALL, not even moving their mouse cursor likely because any move could mean he falls through the floor of the ship.

The one thing I will give Star Citizen is that the scope of that sniper rifle looks pretty cool. I love real time stuff like that

I'm guessing you're assuming it's pages full of text?

Movie scripts have tons of empty space and I have to imagine thats the format they went with because Chris thinks he's a writer/director.

Serious question - is CR actually to blame for the horrific 'movie of a game' genre??

Was Wing Commander the Movie the first of these abominations?

He's not to blame, not really. Developers had been trying to get the FMV poo poo pushed through since the mid-late 80s. It just took until the early 90s before companies were dumb enough to try it.

For example, I believe Night Trap was recorded about 5 years before it was actually published.

It's all a bit like a poo poo version of Kingdoms of Amalur - was meant be an MMO but ended up as a (pretty good) single player game and the devs in court.

Kingdoms of Amalur, the MMO, was actually a separate product. Reckoning, which shipped and was pretty good as you say, was a game that Big Huge was developing when they were purchased and had the amalur license slapped on.

Good Dumplings posted:

Everyone has a different idea, that's why anything that's an everything simulator either fails or develops actual limits to work in. I still say X3 is the only good sim, either Terran Conflict or Albion Prelude. It has a super steep learning curve, but you can actually get capital ships, you can actually be a pirate, you can actually make a space faction. With some mods you can make a space country and it is amazing. I'm pretty sure that a game like this has to be single player, it's not like every person can be a space king in multiplayer.


Which is weird because that sounds exactly like Dwarf Fortress and that's a baller game :(

Man I really need to play X3 again. It really was the best space sim.

Why do you think it was unnecessary?

She's an actress.

She starred in questionable work.

How is that different from some of us who still have the stigma of bad games in our resume and which people tend to bring up every once in awhile.

What makes it OK to point to one of her other works, and not the Mae Demming tickle porn one?

Explain this to me please.

What makes it questionable? I don't believe something being fetish and/or pornography automatically makes it questionable if it's between consenting adults.

Her acting jobs that are regularly mocked in this thread are generally done either using company assets or on company time adding to the "Sandi is irresponsible with backer funds and bad at her job" theme. On the other hand, the tickle stuff was 10 years ago and has no bearing on how awful she is at her job with RSI/CIG/Whatever.
