I don't want to piss on anyone's chips, but the gameplay footage for ME: Andromeda looks like more of the very average same. Still better than anything Croberts is capable of, obviously.

Yeah, the $25 I've given Lowtax (10 to join SA, 5 to get an avatar for myself (yes, I'm sad and pathetic), 10 to change Toast's avatar to Toast of London) is totally on par with people spending thousands to spite Derek Smart. I guess I'm just like them, really. That $25 over about ten months is just nothing to me. Hell, I spent more than that last night buying a toy Star Trek phaser for the next time I have to go shoot zombies with my nephew. Disposable income, bitches.

ripptide posted:As un-surprising as it may be, this is not the first time a Shitizen has asked about rape being present in SC. I particularly like the idea that rape is less morally questionable than murder. "Ok, killing is always bad. We all agree on that. But won't there be some circumstances where rape is actually the good thing to do?" Meridian posted:It was you? Thank you for doing that. Single greatest av purchase ever made. Worth the $25 by itself.

Mr Fronts posted:The recognised "No Sunk Cost Fallacy", where you have invested so little money in something that is not good that you cannot bear to not think you could not have spent less on it without it not being not good. Look at it this way: some shitizens are putting money into Star Citizen every month. Goons are giving zero dollars EVERY DAY. Those zeroes add up.

The Volturi don't get paid for testing the game, do they? Their reward is just playing the game?

HycoCam posted:**raises hand** Hey, before we get the rape mechanic working--can we work on some diversity in the player model. Plowing the same middle-aged, bald dude over and over doesn't really get me out of my comfort zone. HycoCam posted:In the initial days, you only had to pledge $2,500 or more and ask via your concierge service to be added. Hopefully this has been tweaked and limited to owners of "cash only" recent purchases to test. Evocati sounds so much better than Givers. ripptide posted:And, of course, the adulation of all those adoring Shitizens. That's payment enough, no?

Colostomy Bag posted:Yeah, that was a masterstroke. Met up with a friend a few months ago and I started to briefly explain this bizarre thing I'd been following online. Constantly interrupting my own outline with "Oh, and this crazy thing happened as well, which led to..." Although I don't think anything really tops the reaction you get to "People are spending hundreds of dollars on imaginary spaceships for a game that isn't finished, from a company with no plan of how to make it, run by a man who got run out of the games industry for loving up this exact same idea before. Oh, and his VP of marketing is his ex-tickle-pornstar wife. No really, people are paying hundreds of dollars. There's one guy who's in for like 30 grand." If/when this thing finally collapses or explodes, I honestly hope someone does a book on it. A news story just wouldn't be able to cover even a fraction of the story.

POOL IS CLOSED posted:I don't even quite understand why people get up in arms about there being queer characters and characters of color and women characters and etc. Why does this bother them? Why does there need to be some plot-specific reason for all the characters to not be heterosexual, hypertrophied Teutonic demigods in homosocial settings? Do all the characters need to be attractive to the player? ...

Eldragon posted:Sexuality alone does not add anything to the story, but Bioware likes to tack it on anyway without bothering to introduce the partner as another in-game character or backstory. I'm mostly talking Dragon Age 2 and 3 here. Mass Effect probably had GLB characters too, but I don't remember or didn't notice. The fact that I didn't notice means the writer did their job well.

POOL IS CLOSED posted:ME1's options were straight, excepting the two spots where you can uh "romance" the asari (one consort, one party member) with Shephards of either sex. If I ever replay that, I'm totally going for a Jack romance. Can't for the life of me remember why I went with Tali. Scary skinhead chick gonna team up with my butt-ugly Shepard to save the galaxy! Woo hoo!

The Titanic posted:I agree. Even if it's small and minor, or tacked on, at least they did it. I have no issues with it. Plus, it's not like any video game romance actually works good anyway. Unless it's the Sims. Because it's the Sims and they will do anything. The romance in Alpha Protocol with SIE is perfect.

The Titanic posted:The janky gameplay in that game kept me from getting far. I'm sure I'm missing something great, but I'll pass on it. I understand, but you really are missing out on something special. It's just about the only game I've played that makes the "Your every choice will matter!" promise and actually kept it. A real flawed gem.

The mods on there are some of the most tolerant I've ever seen. I can't think of any other forum where blatantly and repeatedly insulting the mods because you disagree with the rules would be accepted. If nothing else, you'd think by now they'd have said "If you don't like how we run the place, don't come here." It's almost as if they need to keep the number of people posting as high as possible...

AlbieQuirky posted:Video games should be like real life, where nobody you work with ever mentions their same-sex spouse or partner, and lady soldiers wear layered bustiers because that is a super practical outfit for fighting. Maybe it's because pizza is overpriced cheese on toast for wankers?

Natron posted:Everyone knows that as time goes on, technology usually has to become much larger to accommodate slightly better performance. Space ships are no different than computers or cars. My car has a parking sensor and camera in the back and it's no larger than a coin. In 20 years, I'm sure you'll have to drag a trailer around so that the picture can be in HD and the beeps will be twice as loud. It's just how things work. ... so Ben Lesnick is the best performing person at CIG.

ArfJason posted:Yeah, that reddit guy is a complete weirdo for following a guy online all day long to make fun of him, and sometimes even going as far as posting personal information on public venues. He's an obsessive creep who probably sends death threats, and is constantly cataloguing, screenshotting and archiving gaffes by his object of mockery, for a period of time that exceeds months. yea Despicable behaviour, but better than you burning crosses in front of black people's homes.

Sherlocks have deduced that I.N.R.I. is one of Dereks lackeys and simultaniously Derek himself on an alt account.


Anyway, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to take a small amount of time out of their day of screaming at the computer game to call or visit their parents because they love and care about you
