orcinus posted:This is getting ridiculous: It really -is- getting ridiculous. I've been playtesting this title on and off since August with the first roll-out and it is spectacular to watch things -actually- develop in a title. That they are not only eager but -capable- of layering so much detail into the title is a thrill in and of itself. These developers are making Unity their bitch and then some. My exposure to SC, thanks to a zealous (8K deep) coworker has always been one of a baffled disbelief - from the get go the project has always struck me as promising the world and having zero capability of delivery. But then what do I know, I just used to work in the industry  Tarkov on the other hand promises a lot, too: insanely complex, simulation-grade small arms combat. It doesn't sound like much at a glance but the level of detail and thought being poured into this game by the devs is something else. The crucial thing here is of course that they actually are delivering what is being promised. Yes it has had some clunky aspects. Yes it has had its share of bugs - what game does not? But bit by bit this is coming into its own and you need not blow 500 bucks to join in on it either. If any of you are on the fence and have ever had a liking or even an interest in more 'simulator' grade shooters? Did you like Arma or Stalker - this really is the love-child of the two. A title to keep eyes out for, at the very least. DarkDobe fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Dec 26, 2016 |

Has Chris perhaps played The Division? Maybe he'd like the 'augmented reality' holographic tech that the game plays with? Oh poo poo... they already did holograms in a neat, interactive way there but I guess they weren't animated, just scenes captured from ambient data and reconstructed for the player. Like this is from the -beta- of the game and.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNzfjD6bSDU It would actually be absolutely trivial for them to have an animated scene played out in that rendering mode, or to have it 'photo realisitic' but instead they went with this stylized data-point thing that melts away when you walk through it. For those of you that haven't played the game there's a TON of these 'reconstructions' to investigate sort of like crime scenes, with audio clips queued up at points of interest. Looks neat. Also HL2 did it was my first thought when I heard 'holograms'. DarkDobe fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Aug 4, 2017 |

I am a former game-dev turned military technician and if there's one thing I know, it is stupidity. I think SC can be summed up in a single phrase I overheard at work - and it should be noted that when someone -in the army- remarks in this fashion, you know poo poo is serious. It applies perfectly here: These people are dangerously retarded. Conveniently this can apply to the so-called devs as readily as the backers.

Garden's squat, thick-limbed alien plants stretch away beneath a blue sky. The colonists live in squat cities of steel and glass with buildings sealed against the planet's harsh environment, by lakes of water melted from the planet's ice caps. The cities are in ruins, and the survivors of the nuclear war survive as best they can in the wreckage of human civilisation. In the ruins of the first city stand monuments to the 571 colonists who did not survive the journey, the 303 more who died building the first settlement, and the seedship AI that guided humanity to its new home. Planet Fallout. Versus: El Dorado's alien forests stretch away beneath a blue sky. The colonists live in cities of steel and glass beneath the planet's open sky, gathered around water production plants. They live happy and fulfilled lives under the guidance of selfless elected officials. In the first city stand monuments to the 147 colonists who died building the first settlement and the seedship AI that guided humanity to its new home. 9853 score. Planet had no water though.

12:05 PM eastern standard time, the Goons have vanished. Check for yourself if you don’t believe me. Where have they gone to? There is speculation, of course. Scientists mention a fidelity storm that passed the Earth on January 20. A man says they are all in basements, playing Elite. Certain groups lament a faulty Banning. A woman says he has taken their power and absorbed it into himself. She means Chris Roberts. I doubt it, but he does seem somehow taller. The ground rumbles at times. The breaking news says CLOUD IMPERIUM GAMES, LLC, with red concentric circles. I’m uneasy, but what can we do? Derek Smart is defeated and if Chris were a scammer, he’d be just as gone as them. There’s no cause for alarm. Within months, Chris Roberts has declared a raise in ship prices. It’s a good idea, because frankly we could all use some extravagant JPEGs. Ship sales are more common than ever now that the Goons have left, but I don’t think we are happy yet. His eyes are shining sometimes, as Sandi's eyes shine in a MOCAP spotlight. Spectrum thrives whenever He posts. The forums are roiling, but the trolls are gone. Something is changing in our world. Publishers don’t exist anymore. Scientists explain that the density of AAAA indie titles is too prevalent support their once-engorged earnings. Then how do we spend?! We should have died by now, lives devoid of meaning, but I think we are evolving. Our bodies haven’t changed, but PC Gaming... One man says it was the banwave after all, and we have since entered the Holy Kingdom of Star Citizen. Chris is now the size of an oak tree. He sleeps outside since the FUD has ceased, and is impervious to critique. Now he wanders through vacation destinations impassively. He ignores hollywood executives, pleading his Direction. He studies a pixel for twenty days - declares "Make this one greener". Only a fool would call this Heaven. Satellites fall to earth. No friction burns them away - that feature is coming in 4.2 - so we trudge past countless flecks of solar panel and ribbons of golden cloth. It’s a jittery frame hitch every few seconds, though we no longer notice. No consoles remain to detract from PC glory. Chris strides across the landscape, larger and more fidelitous than a 600i. We’ve given up on doubt; we are all Citizens now, and the 'verse is an entire system - another station next patch. I’m starting to wish the Goons were back. We found them with a telescope. Images of a colony on the right side of the moon. See the parts that jut from the lower right? I think they’re server centers. Soon they are visible to the naked eye, but how? Their forums are enormous. We watch them as they refuned and die. They have our former dissenters; their dark web perilous, no believer safe. “Look at how they wield their keyboards, their non-RSI-branded peripherals” writes a man. “I always said He’d take our doubts away.” They eat and sleep like we once did, defecate in low resolution toilets, lives wasted designing worthless substandard titles. We have the Best drat Space Sim Ever, but oh how we envy their strife, the spark of Doubter opinion in dire need of Enlightenment! It’s long been clear that Chris brought this uncomfortable perfection upon us, but I can’t bring myself to blame him for it. He’s reminded us all of how our lives had been discarded out of Goonfear. I know now why he grows each day. In time, when we are ready, our accounts run dry, he will reach out into space. He will raise us up in his great hand, to this new Earth that gleams like a frozen star. There we will rescue the poor lost souls: redeem them of their once-false idolatry, their toppled Dark Lord. With Smart vanquished we shall free them. Welcome them to our sixty-four-point Heaven to mop the gleaming corridors of our Bengal carriers, to man our turrets, to serve our Hairy Roberts. And if Chris, blessed be His name, does not yet carry us, we can pledge more... hackbunny posted:(Original here for the curious) DarkDobe fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Jun 14, 2018 |

Atheist Sunglasses posted:im not gonna try Warframe, cause this thread made me buy Angels Fall First, and it sucked Warframe really isn't as complex as folks make it out to be. Yes - there is an immense volume of 'stuff' - but it's all stemming from some very simple systems: Frames: There's tons of 'em but they're really just determine what magical powers you have Weapons: Come in three types - primary, secondary, melee - and do exactly what you think, being big, small, and slashy Mods: A card/slot-based upgrade system that improves frames and weapons Companions: Combat pets/robots you can bring with you, and equip and upgrade as above That's.... really it. It's a giant space ninja playground. There's ample goon presence to get you started. Run around killing mooks and you can play it like a super stealthy tactical espionage assassination sim, or a hack and slasher on steroids. All the other overwhelming 'stuff' just builds on what's there at the start. Also it's free - just give it a shot!

FailureToReport posted:Ugh. This was one of the most infuriating aspects of Star Citizen when I was a backer. As exmilitary, SOOOOOOOOOOOO much of the Star Citizen universe is HUGE steps backwards in technology compared to what we have had for the last 10 years. From miniguns with "spool" time, turrets that would be manned (LOL WTF), I mean just so many things. What makes it worse is that almost all of the things Star Citizen goes back on technologically make for worse or more frustrating gameplay design. Chris is a moron. Bit late on this but - I work for the Canadian military, renowned for clinging to WW2 technology until it is held together with paint and dreams atop hard-packed rust.... And our equipment STILL blows star citizen 'tech' out of the water. I think the whole 'manned turrets' one gets me the most. We have (and have had for decades) automated systems capable of shooting down supersonic aircraft and missiles that are deployable in something the size of a large pickup truck. Not to mention CWIS systems as featured on every US Naval ship these days. Now, one might go ahead and argue that other games have taken steps in this direction for 'fun' - a big one here being Battletech: We have giant stompy fusion powered robots... that are incapable of self-targetting? Yet they also include anti-missile systems comparable to those mentioned above. There's a big technological 'clash' there - but it's pulled off somewhat reasonably (lore and tech wise) and actually contributes to the game in a positive way: It wouldn't be as fun if your robot just auto-targetted and annihilated everything. It owes a great deal to the game's core being developed at a time before such technology (computation especially) was wide-spread, and a great deal of application remained speculative - but one can see where 'realism' has taken a backseat for favour of gameplay, and it is done well! Then you look at SC. Like I get that's an angle that Crobblers is going for: Manned turrets = ~immersion~ and ~fun~ but the implementation is loving garbage, meant more as a visual appeal than anything resembling satisfying gameplay. Wowww!! Look at this immersion animation of the dude glitching into his retracting turret chair - just like in Star Wars or whatever movie he's ripping off at the time. Every stupid aspect of designs, from cockpits struts and viewscreen greebling to armor flaps folding away on a helmet are to appease Crobbler's sense of what looks 'cool' with no thought given to it being reasonable - even within the unreasonable framework of his retarded little 'verse. Everythign is designed to look 'cool' when viewed by Crobbers panting over someone's shoulder before he signs off on it. Actually playing that poo poo? Hah!
