Bayonnefrog posted:"imagine what ccp would do with Eve with 200mil" Buying White Wolf was pretty drat amazing. Sitting on the corpse was less so. Their desire to come up with the next best thing nearly hosed up their money printer, and they should have licensed as much of it as they could, while they could.

Just made an effort post on youtube, so i'm drat well sharing it here. Let me know if i got anything wrong. This is the post i was responding to: quote:Just rewatched the trailer . All we see is in 3.2 exept ground combat AI (delayed to 3.3 due to some bugs) and the capital ship (Javelin at the end). All those comment saying that isn't in the game, actually never played it . Cite me 1 thing that is not in the game yet . And my response. quote:Ok, here we go.

Scruffpuff posted:That is a painful amount of effort to spend on people who've shown repeatedly that they can't observe objective reality. And there's some distance between the relative effect of the bullshots and what's actually available in game, but there's a fairly pernicious angle of devaluation taking place amongst the peons that they're hoping to attract from the 'barely engaged' masses that are supposed to actually fund this beyond release. Consider the 'starter' pack for $50, In most games this is basic price of entry, but within SC you're barely a step up from the grass, but you live in the same universe as a guy with a loving carrier. And he didn't work for it, he just paid for it. The shocking truth of the Libertarian space fantasy is that you have to really incentivize people to bolster your dumb leadership dream, and they're throwing blocks ahead of the people who're going to provide for the post-launch revenue*. * Stop laughing, this is something that Chris _really believes_.

Hav posted:* Stop laughing, this is something that Chris _really believes_. Yep. I'm certainly not laughing - I've heard him loudly proclaim his certainty more than once of how many copies he's going to sell of this piece of poo poo. (SQ42) He immediately places himself amongst the Call of Duty/Grand Theft Auto income bracket as if he's even remotely qualified to compete. He truly believes he's making a game and that it will sell at the top tier because once in 1990 people who worked adjacent to him made something that was relatively popular in its day.

I thought the best part of last year's dumpster fire (besides the game crashing, having to repeat it all and of course the wheels falling off the buggy, and uh...well you get my point) is Robert's chuckling and hubris demonstrating this entire debacle. You see that crater... Yeah Roberts, I'll hold your beer anytime.

Chris believes... the backers believe... but There is literally zero reason why a regular jackoff like me would want to play this game when (read if) it launches. The absurd pricing and lovely design decisions will leave new players with the feeling it is a joke at best or a toxic marketing scam at worst.

Colostomy Bag posted:I thought the best part of last year's dumpster fire (besides the game crashing, having to repeat it all and of course the wheels falling off the buggy, and uh...well you get my point) is Robert's chuckling and hubris demonstrating this entire debacle. You see that crater...  I'm wondering if I'm the only one who saw the inherent stupidity in how Chris bragged about the "size" of the crater and how you could fit all of Skyrim in it. Not just that there would be no actual content or hand-crafted fun times in said crater - that goes without saying. It was how Chris seemed to think that somehow, in the intervening years between when he last "made" a game and today, because technology has moved forward things can be made bigger, and that he was somehow pioneering the efforts to make "craters as big as Skyrim" like it's uncharted territory. But the stupidity of Chris Roberts goes even deeper than that. The thing about space games is that space is empty. In a normal game you exist as an entity on a map. The map is a certain size, has certain entities on it, and takes up a certain amount of drive space to represent. In a space game, you're simply a set of coordinates. So is everything else in space. Things are shown/rendered based on your relative coordinates to the other object(s). It's the same thing with procedural generation - it allows the CPU to extrapolate a huge amount of space from a seed and an algorithm, which means very little is stored on the drive. The result is mathematically huge maps, but nothing of consequence in them. And this isn't due to the wizardry of one Chris Roberts - it's due to the work of everyone else in the industry who isn't him. Space games were always huge - no matter how limited the PC was - because space was treated as an abstraction. Think about the staggeringly huge universe of Elite Dangerous that sits on a few GB of storage because it's no more than mathematical extrapolation. To point to a planet in Elite and say "That's a bigger area than Grand Theft Auto" would an amazingly ignorant display of not just gaming conventions in general, but of everything about PCs in general. Leave it to Chris to push the boundaries of stupidity.

YOUTUBE: This Week In Tech: A Bad Week for the Internet In a discussion about E3 takeaways, Dan Patterson at Tech Republic talks about $27000 ship packs to crowdfund vaporware. (More free publicity. If there's any smart viewers out there they'll fact check and possibly back.) Tinfoil Papercut posted:Someone anonymously PM Dolvak and tell him that we ARE the EvE mods and EvE always has been part of Derek Smart's anti-SC conspiracy. I wanted to cut Dolvak some slack since he started dropping CIG disses a while back. But he’s down with the Beet ban, protects CIG embeds like Starloop, told all kinds of lies of late and refused to make payment after commissioning a Bear Meme. (I mean I know it wasn’t a Daztek original, Dolvak, but at least I tried...) So much bad faith moderation. So many lies. He’s still the same Dolvak of the Big MoMA’s House era. I was wrong to hope otherwise. I regret wasting Goons’ time trying to get them to share my delusion.  Agony Aunt posted:Just made an effort post on youtube, so i'm drat well sharing it here. Let me know if i got anything wrong. But this can’t be true, Agony Aunt. After all the trailer backlash, Starloop even sat down to write this helpful subreddit post to show just how much more there was to it than we even knew! Scruffpuff posted:Yep. I'm certainly not laughing - I've heard him loudly proclaim his certainty more than once of how many copies he's going to sell of this piece of poo poo. (SQ42) 100 million people will be playing these games in 5 years. Ignore the fake news, trolls, and paid shills out there.

Given we don't have much of a game to discuss besides the obvious fiascoes (I'm not really sure that is proper plural) that have taken place during this clusterfuck I'll spend a few more words on these 18 companies. In short, you have globetrotting Roberts showing up at random meetings. And that is the law of the land and filters down. It really is that drat simple. 475 employees (and based on experience probably 10% are the doing the best they can, the rest collect a paycheck but that is another topic on management principles and a Dilbert comic) have collectively created a tire fire that can light up the moon.
