It seems like, for some reason (it's human eyeballs compensate for head movement. try looking at something and nod or shake your head, the image stays stable. cig needs to put the camera in the eyes and then model eye movement in relation to head movement then we're all good again.

lol if you think they haven't tried to remove the headbob. It's some kind of bug/defect from their engine hacking and they can't get rid of it. I believe 'grabby hands' was the same and they played it up until it never appeared again.

Basically CIG just tries to make poo poo and whatever appears they call it a feature until it disappears. Remember jukes? That was for sure some mid-stage animation work and it looked like people were juking so they called it that and now the entire thing is where?

I think with that news I'm going to call it now that SQ42 will be an inferior Farcry/Crysis maybe using the exact same everything plus whatever assets they have already built. When you go 'into space' for mission it just loads whatever arena commander/2.0 is, after some shoddy space combat you watch a cutscene and come back to Farcry mode to walk around some more. That would be their plan, but none of that will be made. They'll build enough for more ads and trailers and drag SQ42 on for as long as possible just like the PU.

Gwaihir posted:hes had several videos showing off his work on the local physics grid bits inside ships. So he's probably literally to thank for all those times you just suddenly get ejected through the floor and flung out in to space. Do these videos show him typing and editing code, or are they just of him saying that he worked on 'this'? At this point I don't think I believe Chris Roberts knows anything about computers, I don't even believe he made Wing Commander 1 besides tell some ideas to his programming friends.

Is there even a single person on Earth not named John Carmack who understands games AND programming at a level that can make SC? Like Derek spent his entire life trying to do it, and he skipped all pretense of fidelity or playability to try and get there and he still cannot. The fact that people think Croberts can do it is hilarious.

In my spare time I like to read really stupid poo poo. These are words from a future god/soul entity (lol) about cults that really struck me as describing Star Citizen: **** 'The inner mechanics of emotion and belief are complicated, but these are individuals who feel that physical life has failed them. They are powerless in society. They think in black and white, and conflicts between their emotions, and their beliefs about their emotions, lead them to seek some kind of shelter in a rigid belief system that will give them rules to go by. Such systems lead to the formation of cults, and the potential members seek out a leader who will serve their purposes as surely as they seem to serve his.' 'When people are convinced that the self is untrustworthy, for whatever reasons, or that the universe is not safe, then instead of luxuriating in the use of their abilities, exploring the physical and mental environments, they begin to pull in their realities - to contract their abilities, to overcontrol their environments. They become frightened people - and frightened people do not want freedom, mental or physical. They want shelter, a definite set of rules. They want to be told what is good and bad. They lean toward compulsive behavior patterns. They seek out leaders -political, scientific, or religious - who will order their live for them.'

I am positive that if Gorf does research on the mocap timeline, we will find that CR bought and paid for mocap equipment/actors/Imaginarium maybe two to three times over before the infamous 'early days' talk of figuring out gameplay elements. CR basically hired crytek to build a tech demo, then hired Turbulent to make the website, and went straight into mocap.

It's fun to look at their stretch goals if you haven't in awhile: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/funding-goals basically every single thing is made up. Between $3,750,000 and $4,000,000 they promised 4 new star systems, modding tools, and increased SQ42 from 35 missions to 45. All that for $250,000? just lol that all they did was buy 100 tables from restoration hardware because they are just starting on SQ42 mission ONE today.

Ash1138 posted:Also CIG dumped $25? million into Foundry 42 which is now the largest of the studios. This may be an "all-in" play to get Squadron 42 out the door and indeed Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 PU is going to take a backseat until SQ42 is finished. SQ42 allegedly has no playable missions yet, which would explain why nothing playable was shown to PG Gamer at the end of December. also don't forget EightAce very strongly hinted that it was the LAST $25 million and not 'just' $25 million.

So I've never played a Crysis or a FarCry but I bet their <USE> action is contextual, and so the F42 team is just actually making a video game now and Chris is just getting his mind blown.

For every darkarchon there's like a hundred goons sitting on their $35/$45 base packages or whatever being spineless and mush mouthed saying things like 'heh this $45 offered more entertainment than any other game!!'

Here's what I would do: ask for refund and get verbal garbage letter from cig. attach letter, attach newest video of cig show saying they are implementing shops. type: hello I bought a game in 2012, they said it would be finished in 2014. There's no game yet in 2016, but they made a cash shop to buy more things in the game. I think it is a scam. I would like my money back. can you help me? Then it is up to your bank/pp/cc to seek those charges and then they will talk to CIG and hopefully realize their bs. If it works you are out if it doesn't at least you tried? What are we afraid of here being banned by CIG to purchase the game later when it actually comes out?

Also admitting such things is the first step towards recovery. I believe in you Sarsapariller. If anything it was a brave thing to do, and hopefully it will serve as an example for other new or old goons to admit how much they spent and start on their own road to recovery.

Also, I wasn't referring to the trailer. I was referring to the live(?) Cryengine demo some technical guy was running. It looked pretty functional, but this is CIG we're talking about so who loving knows. It probably isn't even the same application "i got poo poo to do" coming from a man posting on a paid internet forum asking about a demo from a fake game from a fake company while also cross examining and asking questions on reddit. very weak.

In order to reduce toxicity CIG has to start telling truths, but they cannot. For one the truth fucks any and all customers who spent over $60 but also because they are scumbags from the very top down minus the actual workers. Since their MO is to tell more lies, this will end exactly how EightAce predicts.
