Obvioulsy the Shitizens are once again going to claim this makes him a GGer but I refuse to belive that he shares any of their beliefs beyond SC being bullshit and that there are huge problems within games journalism and the games industry as a whole. why are you referring to Vox Day as "they" Gonkish posted:Meanwhile in a game that's actually a game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jE7UhIyRnA to be fair, E:D is barely a game. I mean, better than what's going on here, but it's basically a similar pile of mismanaged bullshit from a dude who got famous decades ago and wanted to make a new game. I mean, there's just actually a game in E:D

Looks like she can't do the Dolphin or the Mermaid. I'm a trained swimmer, achieving the high level of Manta-Ray. Unfortunately, I never completed my training, as they banned me from the pool for my European indiscretions. y'all are going really weird about what amounts to a boilerplate agency listing.

For real though Sandi isn't a great person but y'all are calling an agency listing a resume and totally misinterpreting it. The reason it lists 9 different types of swimming and double counts languages and lists her Australian accent is because when casting agents are looking for people to a play bit characters for a scene where there's a swim meet in Australia, they want to be able to pull a huge file from those search parameters. I know some of y'all can't be that dumb

Codependent Poster posted:I love that they refuse to believe Beer's e-mails are real. I wonder how they can reject reality so easily. Without, like, the torrent of everything else, Occam's razor would suggest that "These emails are faked" is more likely than "a company with 100 million in funding has hired someone this heroically incompetent to be their VP of marketing". It reads as poorly written satire.

Brazilianpeanutwar posted:Thankfully i'm too poor to afford ED and too poor to own a good computer to run it, otherwise i'd have bought it ages ago. Elite is both very well optimized and also has very low poly counts that should be inherent to any spacegame. Running a HD 6850 at 1920x1200 with all settings at ultra never go under 60fps. You should probably buy it the next time it goes on sale.

Lastdancer posted:I just finished talking with someone who's a SC supporter about their decision, and they were telling me quite a bit about how it's right there with Elite:Dangerous in terms of development when I brought up the troubled development of this game. If you want to play as CMDR SSJ7_Mal_Reynolds, hard-luck freetrader and loyal member of the federation, doing whatever he can to keep his ship flying, then you're poo poo out of luck. The aspects of the game that are tuned towards "canon" role-playing (Missions, powerplay) are poorly designed where they function at all, but everyone, including the devs, freely admits they're garbage and the devs have promised a rework sometime this year. If you want to drive a spaceship or a moonbuggy around and shoot dudes in space, it's loving amazing, if pretty shallow

VealCutlet posted:You still can, I got to Sag A* in a week and they are spacing out each waypoint (1-2 a week) so you would have heaps of time to catch up. The record from Sol to Sag A* is a little under 9 hours, but that's some serious poopsocking. If you knew what you were doing, it would probably take you a week to go from zero to an exploration asp. It's doable, but it wouldn't be fun.

BeefThief posted:For many of the chariots it seems the only way to the cockpit is through the cargo bay. Cargo will never be implemented in a meaningful way, much like the rest of the features Croberts & co. have promised to the backers. My question is "What will be in the game when the whole thing finally goes tits up?" Do you think the PU will be notably different than it is now? Will there be some huge feature haphazardly rolled out in a last ditch effort to revitalize flagging interest, like some form of planetary landing, or will we just proceed from where we are into minor incremental additions, like new ships, while the game dies a slow death.

Cao Ni Ma posted:Its so loving obvious that no real work has been done to try and get SC VR ready and they went ahead and said that they were "refocusing on vr" at the beginning of the year just so that search engines would pull fluff piece news stories for the less informed people to read over. They'll go "oh it says here they are focusing on vr and that was like 5 months ago I bet they have it almost ready" and of course nothing at all would be done. I feel like you're overstating the competency of the scam here. What happened was with the imminent release of CV1/Vive at the start of the year, they were asked questions about VR support, and hid their flop sweat by shouting "Of course we're going to have it! We're working on it right now!"

I have no doubt that some of the people spending 20k+ are legit wealthy and wipe their rear end with caviar and lobster tails, but I suspect a significant portion of the whales, including some 20k+ mega whales, are financial messes of varying degrees, ranging from "I'm not in bad shape but I spent 5 grand on jpegs but have no 401k or savings or emergency fund and don't own a home" to "I'm a complete clusterfuck and have thousands in jpegs sitting on a 28% credit card." you might get your wish from that because when the whole thing goes tits up, the whale database will be the only thing of value they have, and they absolutely will sell it.

They have lots of experience with mutilated engines, like APB's beta UE3 version with lots of inhouse modifications that break if you look at it wrong. Really what I want to happen is for Frontier to pick up the assets and rights for a dollar and introduce a few of the most popular/less ridiculous ships into elite, just to watch the people who have created an ideological war between E:D and SC in their heads have a breakdown

Like, the idea that, as a kid, learning about HTML, the internet, etc. you have a cringy website is basically par for the course. You have a website that, lacking a holistic skillset, looks like hot garbage and, lacking content, just stands to catalog the dumb poo poo you say/do with your friends, all that makes sense. The website stays live because you forgot about it and bought a 10 year hosting package 7 years ago because it wasn't that expensive, and it was worth not having to go through the headache of resubscribing every year. But to have that website resurface when you're an adult, and for you to continue to endorse the weird/creepy poo poo you did and leave it in public for all the view, and tell people to visit it.

Investigative journalism is expensive and time consuming and no one will pay for that poo poo in video games. Even the people who have broken free of the ad revenue cycle on patreon are still beholden to put out three or four videos a week.

Everyone talking about how the game play of the gamescom video is forgets about the amount of money some people will spend making loving recreations of a 737-700 cockpit and then spend their weekends flying back and forth between O'Hare and Hartsfield-Jackson. There's a lot of money in making a game feel like a job. Not that the Chris com build will ever be more than a video, tho.
