after reading through this thread and knowing what's going on i still don't get what this game was supposed to be. it's as if crobbert played dayz once and had some revelation that this poo poo should be in space, with... flight attendants and news reporters and drink-making simulators and a crafting system and pets and and and and... i think it would've been much more realistic sticking to "dayz in space" instead of the feature creeping monster it's become, but instead they're focusing on some lovely single player game that no one wants or cares about, using expensive actors instead of just some mo-cap dudes. personally, i liked playing "the last of us" and that's some good mo-cap, just small pieces to add actual immersion and feeling to a great game, and later watching the behind the scenes on that, with a real and solid game dev company shows you how this poo poo is actually done. in a way - for the laffs - i'm glad this is failing and will continue to fail horribly. in another it's pretty loving sad. more than a hundred million dollars. i mean holy poo poo

Jonny Nox posted:The other thing is if they were Blizzard, they could look at what they had and say "gently caress it" because it would have been made with Blizzard's money. Since it's made with public money though... this happened with blizzard's attempt at an fps. it was very likely the right call. this is different. it's a company having been given over 100 million dollars, and having absolute poo poo to show for it after years of development and release promises. it's shameful how it's all being managed.

why do most people here seem to assume CR is deluded into wanting this game to happen at all? i'm just imagining myself if i had some dream-game in development with a pool of cash, i would be absolutely involved and giddy about it. the youtube with him playing his own game's dev build makes it look like - almost proves - he ran it for the very first time that same morning. i guess he could be dreaming about his Vision™ on the sidelines, but i can't imagine him being involved in the process in any way apart from directing lovely, obscenely long cut-scenes.

MeLKoR posted:The PvP slider is the dumbest thing ever because it would become the default playmode for everyone that isn't actively on a group raid looking for people that are all camouflaged by the slider. Why would you ever turn your PvP slider off except when you reached your hunting ground? it's not a completely terrible idea honestly, though still bad. myself coming from years in a pvp mmorpg -- the incredible game called classic ultima "no pussys" online. but these guys would have zero idea how to do it right or at all, just another Dream™ without the hindsight. the best thing i can think of for... why the gently caress am i even imagining this ever being a real commercially released mmorpg? anyways it would be having separate servers. red and blue. since this game is never going to be released as an actual mmorpg past 64 player instances on 2018 computers i can safely assume gillian anderson will be reporting the news on a yearly basis for 400 million dollars of your pledge money.

i'll reiterate that the pvp slider isn't a terrible idea. just bad. - must be offline to slide - must wait 2 hours between slider changes the difficulty really is on the dev side. having separate servers for pvp and non-pvp is the best idea. having to make sure everyone is easily capable of seeing who's PK and who's non-pvp, while managing external damage sources on non-pvpers and the like are all difficult on split pvp/not pvp areas. it's why i think it's impossible for this particular team, specially given their short promised lifespan with so many much more important requirements, like michael jackson

MeLKoR posted:From a long term economic perspective this is irrelevant. If miners and traders can go about their business everywhere in the universe unimpeded then it will always be more profitable to go around with PvP off, amass huge wealth, buy the biggest sperg chariot and then go hunting "griefers" AKA anyone that doesn't go around with PvP off all the time. a very good point and one reason why zero mmorpgs do split pvp/pve except in small "arena" style areas. i do forget how important loot would be in this kind of rpg. i'm really the terrible masterdebater trying my best to find the good in the argument. it's POSSIBLE and not terrible, but still bad.

so has anyone on reddit complained yet in all this time that their precious pre-alpha tech demo is in maintanance mode indefinetely, at least until sq42 is done? i mean i am not a game developer like everyone who backs star citizen seems to be, but that usually means you're stuck with this garbage until chris "finishes" his when the tech demo is the one thing 99% of people want improved and expanded on, and they focus on other weird poo poo that should be low on the priority list (if on it at all) it just blows my mind. i always find myself lost for words trying to post on this thread. eightace wasn't kidding saying it's hard believing what they're working on now. no one predicted it. can only imagine the poo poo DS is about to expose in two weeks

D_Smart posted:seeing the poo poo that's their "persistent" universe, I won't be surprised if they trash all that and go straight to player hosted client/server model, with a server browser. If they do - and keep the PU (in whatever lovely state) - then they'd probably split the game again. Star Citizen (PU), Squadron 42, Star Shitizen (server browser). could they just go for something like diablo2 (sorry i haven't played d3) and just call that "persistent" since things are technically "saved" somewhere? but this being an mmo, no, never... obviously. every time i imagine what a final release might look like, if there ever is one, i'll say it again: dayz in space.

According to croberts, SC just penalizes you once in a while for dying. You don't lose your ships or any other poo poo you own, you just lose some money and reputation/exp. That's nothing more then a basic MMO death penalty. countdown to unpermadeath tokens

aleksendr posted:Its not, and most larger software don't start right up with agile. Agile is better suited for modules on an already stable foundation or smaller project using established API or structure. SC should totally be doing waterfall until it release something more stable. i think the real concern and point is it doesn't matter what methodology they're using or pretending to use, but that they've made deadlines and promises since the project's inception without delivering a thing. it's painfully obvious they've only delivered a non-game by force when one particular deadline potentially could've cost them thousands, if not millions of dollars. imagine the rush to release "2.0." beautiful assets really, but not a game - or fun - unless you have a really good imagination. Illfonics was given a job and were delivering based on their given requirements, but something happened. my guess is the PU's cryengine was so modified as to be completely incompatible with Star Marine. they say they've incorportated Star Marine's FPS into the PU, but i'm not sure i believe it. poo poo communication between studios, poo poo money management, poo poo time management. it's not the developers to blame, it's the terrible management. the people up top. though i'm not saying anything new. i do wonder just how big of a chunk of money from that $105M+ is going into making cut-scenes instead of a game. and i wonder if we'll ever find out.

about the weight loss talk. i was 320 at one point, standing at 6'4 pretty fat. never think you don't need to exercise. years of exercise, starting from simple beginnings got me down to 205, which isn't bad when a lot of the weight still on was converted into muscle. starting is the hard part. it's always that initial motivation that you need,. and "i have no time to exercise" is a really bad excuse. walk, stairs (over and over and over again), or just throwing a basketball, and turn that initial weight-loss into good feelings, good motivation. it will kill your knees, but leg workouts are the big burners.and lunges will make sure your rear end hurts in the most glorious way possible. and go from there. that, and as someone else pointed out, working out will give you an appetite. that's the second hard part. and i never went hardcore healthy diet, but i did cut down massively on the sugary drinks and sugary foods. also, healthy foods can be delicious if you just find the right toppings. healthy toppings on salads, etc. if you do exercise, it doesn't mean you can't treat yourself once in a while. good luck fat goons.

what sandi is doing to ben and his wife is sad as gently caress. i don't know about the man's eccentricities and can't judge, but no one deserves that lovely treatment at work, specially when the man says they're both trying to diet. truly, this woman has no heart.

B_of_InfoRedux posted:Yes, because they couldn't tell Ben was fat. Give me a loving break. I'm just saying it seems that every time there is a lack of drama surrounding SC this thread devolves into "Ben is fat aaarrrgh". And no poo poo, he's fat. Who gives a gently caress? If he's fat he's fat. Who loving cares? And it is increasingly petty, which just makes some in this thread look loving childish. Hahaha, Bens fat. Yeah, real loving mature. What are people 12? well i haven't followed any SC thread except this one. seeing pictures of him from 2012 and pictures of him now is sad. Sandi obviously helping in his destruction is relevant to the thread. cats and recipees and we can't talk about fatness and weight loss because? it's like some people suddenly felt triggered.

A Neurotic Jew posted:does anyone in this thread who is actually smart have an explanation for why CIG can't seem to get a party system together in the PU? All the explanations for major technical problems around SC has been because CryEngine is built for FPS, but that wouldn't effect the ability to code a system that allows you to easily find a server with your friends on it, would it? i don't know poo poo about cryengine but don't forget that when Chris failed to play his own game a while back he promised to fix the lovely, buggy, ugly chat window after experiencing it first hand. the same one still there. as others have pointed out, the main thing to remember now is that Chris is likely focusing everything on SQ42, and cares nothing about the fact that 99% of backers only care about a better PU. ED looks cool, and i see a lot of potential there. looks like they have a good, organized thing going on, and only expect that game to get better and more fun with each increment to what's already there. cheers to them. question to whoever knows: how much money has ED used so far to develop this, and with how many people? if that data's available. i'm really curious
