Just imagine that one day there might be a Star Citizen museum with choice framed GIF's and JPEGs and terminals where people can browse these threads. What other sorts of displays would be good for this museum? Here are some ideas: -Life size replica of pallets of $100 bills showing how much money was spent on the game -Wax statues of some of the Key players in classic poses (Ben on the Couch, Chris at the computer playing) -Derek's original blog post, The fourth stimpire text, and Chris's reply to the escapists all printed on parchment papers in climate controlled cases like where they keep the declaration of independence -Bathrooms will be designed to be like on the ships -A coin operated golf cart ride

Honestly a space-based FPS with Zero gravity combat could be a real good addition to the genre if they would just ditch the whole space sim or at least limit it to what's technologically feasible

I watched a leaked video of 2.6 where the camera was circling ships in a hangar as the colors on the ships were changing. This was showing off some of the different color schemes that people can use to customize their ships. The idea of being able to customize stuff is cool to a limited extent but it's also probably going to make some people mad that are more towards the RP/Sim end of the spectrum. I know that's annoying to me in games like Black Ops III when you're trying to play a military game and there are just rainbow colored dudes bunny hopping all over the map. Imagine if you warp in with your $2,000 grimdark doom chariot and you get ganked by a dozen guys in pink starter ships abusing the flight model to circle strafe or some poo poo like that.

I think the one message that just can't seem to get from the goons to the brown sea is that it's not the buggy non-game that people get upset about, it's the lying, dishonesty, and misrepresentation. If Chris had just been up front and said look we did some testing and CryEngine isn't going to work and it's going to take 5+ years to develop the tech, it would have sucked but we would have respected the honesty. Instead they've just doubled down on scumminess every step of the way

Also I kind of realized that they still have a lot of stuff in their bag to fleece whales for when the times start to get really hard. All they have to do is finally drop a 15 second CGI clip of the Vanduul and that'll get them through at least a fiscal quarter. They really have mastered the art of not releasing content. Honestly I see the funding going up to at least 180-200 million before release. Even if you manage to fool only 0.01% of nerds there are just so many people in the world.

Under that reasoning wouldn't it be fair then to give every citizen the nuclear launch codes? I enjoy shooting as a hobby myself but I agree with things like banning automatic weapons and doing background checks so felons can't purchase guns. For people who aren't from the US: To understand the issue in America you just have to realize that most people (the vast majority in fact) don't go and buy a gun and kill a bunch of other people. Pro-gun control people argue that various government restrictions on buying and owning guns will reduce the incidence of gun violence. Overall gun violence is very rare in America. In certain localities gun violence is relatively high. Most ordinary people use their guns for target practice as a hobby and/or skill development activity. Anti-gun control people don't want these restrictions for a variety of reasons. The issue is complicated because most advocates for both sides have an emotional and sociocultural attachment to their position, so the perceived quality of any given argument is highly variable.

Tippis posted:Seems reasonable enough. It's just that the end result, at least from the outside, is that you all look like a bunch of paranoid violence-fetichistic nutcases — in large part because of that obviously emotional response… Yeah. Probably some of that perception comes from the high prevalence of violence in American entertainment media. Even many gun control advocates still enjoy action movies and FPS games because it is not real violence. You also have to remember that there are over 300 million people in America and modern media can mask our true census.

Wrecked Angle posted:The last time I spoke with a guy about introducing gun control in the States he made a good point. Even if you could convince everybody you'd still have the problem of actually introducing it. TBF the issue encompasses many different aspects of firearms regulation and legislation making it a more complex topic than simply "allowing or banning guns." There are different strains of gun violence as well. it is not a simple issue of good guys and bad guys out in the world. Every criminal commits a "first crime", before which they were not a criminal. Not all crime is planned by masterminds who chose criminality as their profession there are many crimes of opportunity committed. There are also crimes related to an otherwise normal individual's deteriorating mental health, crimes of passion, accidents, and crimes committed under the influence of substances. There are many different issues about what sorts of guns should be allowed. Most people on both sides have some sort of sense that the ordinary public should not have access to extremely destructive weapons for general safety, but the issue is what exactly the definition of "extremely destructive" is. There are millions of guns out there but they are of all different kinds. Some of them are antiques, handguns, long guns, rifles, shotguns. My main point is that the issue is more complicated than most people are willing to accept.

I'm cool with the Doom box art thing because it's more of an homage/tribute, but you can't just do the digital equivalent of tracing like with the Halo stuff. Lots of great art is heavily influenced by art that came before, but it's only respectable when you add some original value.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this infographic a bullshit attempt to justify problems with SC's development? I thought Alpha was the game content and feature set is essentially finished and in the build and all they are doing are fixing bugs found by internal playtesters. A beta build to me is basically the finished product as far as they can tell internally but they send it out so they can find rare bugs that only occur with specific machine configurations or are difficult to replicate. Maybe they also do some balance changes as they pull in better data from a large number of players but that's essentially a separate process from the software development since they are just tweaking weapon damage and stuff in spreadsheets. From what I've seen Star Citizen IS pre-Alpha by conventional standards. I think the main argument revolves around if it is even past the design stage.

I bet what was originally planned is that 2.6 was supposed to be the last StarEngine release and 3.0 in 2017 was originally going to be the big switch and they were hoping it wouldn't be a big deal because "Wow! Look at all this planetary stuff!". Probably what happened though is they just flat out could not get Star Marine working with StarEngine and they decided it would be a worse headline to delay Star Marine to next year than to bite the bullet and tell everyone they had to move to a different engine. From a technical standpoint I'd bet CIG is no worse off and may actually be in a better position to actually get a game out of this whole deal, but they really hosed themselves on the PR end with all their scheming. Cultists will no doubt be thinking that CIG is contributing to Lumberyard, exchanging their magical technology for discounts on AWS when really what happened is Amazon is getting (relatively) dirt cheap visibility for their new games division. The customer data for advertising is the real financial asset in all of this. Look at the changes to the TOS privacy section. Traditional publishing is a thing of the past, as Amazon's recurring costs in AWS are paid for as CIG uses them and Amazon gets the data anyways. It doesn't matter to Amazon one bit if the game actually gets finished. Amarcarts fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Dec 24, 2016 |

I think the thing that will really hurt them is that they've kept it a secret so long. They could have just announced this as part of the network 3.0 plan and spun it as "since it's still all based on CryEngine it really won't cost us a whole lot of additional time or money." Waiting until the Friday evening 2 days before Christmas when it's clear this has been in the works for a long time looks like they were deliberately hiding it, meaning it's bad. If it was such a good deal why didn't they announce it the minute they made it? Again, it always comes back to the dishonesty

I'm actually kind of willing to take Chris at his word that the Engine change didn't take very long because it's not like they had a working product to begin with that could get broken in the process. It's like doing surgery on a corpse it's actually really really easy and there's nothing to get anxious about as long as nobody is watching. Merry Christimas
