Beet Wagon posted:I mean hell, Elite has been battling the PVP salt for how long now? Half the playerbase refuses to play in "online" mode for fear of getting griefed, and they don't even have the nifty feature of being able to run around and shoot guns at each other. There's a huge disconnect with the Citizens who all like to shout that goons demanded refunds because CIG wouldn't let them turn the game into an EVE-style greifing paradise, because even as it stands now Star Citizen is far more conducive to greifing than almost any other game out there, and in fact that's the only fun thing to do in the game. Honestly one of the biggest things that will stop me from buying Elite in all likelyhood. I don't want to spend gaming time as someone else's amusement.

Berious posted:You can just play offline if you want to avoid PVP. You can still keep all your stuff and play online if you change your mind. A better reason not to play Elite is it's still pretty boring after a couple of years of being out and a paid expansion. It's looking like they'll never manage to build engaging gameplay onto their pretty engine. I'm giving them another expansion before writing it off though. I know, but something about playing a multiplayer (especially MMO) game in singleplayer mode always felt weird to me. And yeah, I keep hearing mixed reports. A lot of people love it, but a lot of people hate it.

Sandweed posted:We get that a lot in Warframe, everything in that game is designed as a 4 player coop game (except spy mission lol) and then you get people complaining that they can't solo the content. To be fair a lot of the content can be soloed once you get to a sufficient power level but still it shouldn't be expected and you should only blame yourself if you insist on playing solo. Warframe is amazing, Rhino Stronk.

Raskolnikov posted:He actually believes this. I've read quite a few interviews where he is (rightfully) upset at the industry, byproducts of otaku culture and all the other... Inaccessible, products created for an over leveraged out of touch community with very specific, tastes. The issue here is that he, like Anno, seems to have decided that anime is to blame for society's ills and indicated that dedicating his life to the industry was a mistake. It's hard to say how much they believe it. Anno's been far more vehement about it, but he's got the massive disappointment of NGE on his shoulders, and has probably been extremely depressed for a long time. Miyazaki tends to be extremely brutal in his critiques, ignoring the fact that the modern industry is so heavily based on corporate control and profitseeking that trash is just about all that can be turned out unless you're very lucky or have resources from being one of the old prodigies. Have a carerant in return.

Cao Ni Ma posted:Fate and re:zero are two different things entirely. One started out as a porn visual novel game thing and the other started out as a japanese light novel. Fate is sort of a gigantic IP right now and their gacha game is making them insane bank in japan. Re:zero is just the most recent flavor of the usual j light novel tripe that is popular over there that eventually loses steam and everyone forgets in favor of whatever new tripe light novel is popular. No, no, not Re:Zero. Fate:Zero, the prequel they made. The one they got Gen Urobuchi to write. Re:Zero is what they came up with after Fate:Kaleid Liner or whatever, the magical girl one, right?

So, question. Of all the things Amazon could have done to start getting into gaming, why make a mod of CryEngine? Was it just the cheapest thing available, and the folks in charge assumed that an engine attached to a failing company wouldn't be rear end? I realize engine creation is expensive and whatever, but if you're going to spend a ton of money to break into the gaming industry wouldn't that be the place to spend your money?

Pastposting a bit, but to be fair to them E3 is absolute trash. Then again, that's video game marketing in general. Remember kids, don't preorder digital goods and don't buy things sight unseen! Footage from a press conference doesn't count, even if the guy talking is holding a controller while he talks! Also call your parents. They miss you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a bit of a fiasco with Elite:Dangerous as well? If I recall correctly, the original kickstarter promised no expansion packs, all future content was to be free. Then they realized they needed more money and so they tried to release Elite : Dangerous *horizons* as a totally-not-an-expansion-pack-it's-a-standalone-game-honest. The big difference beyond basic competence seems to be that Elite: Dangerous still has fans willing to call them on bullshit. People openly complained about things, and the white knights can't drown them out, so things get fixed. That's what it seems like to me as an outsider.

Xaerael posted:Nope. One of the tiers (£80) even offered lifetime free expansions, so it was always on the cards. Huh, wonder why people were claiming that then. I do know people remained pretty pissed about the expansion, and complained, so I suppose the point still holds. Star Citizen's paybase has gotten so poo poo that even if they were capable of making a game it would also be poo poo.

Without the vacations, the POTENTIAL tax fraud, the employee abuse, and the misappropriation of backer funds, you could argue they made a 'good faith'* effort to deliver the product. That doesn't absolve them of promising something impossible to deliver, I just enjoy being a pedant. * I am not a lawperson and don't actually know the proper legal definition of this or how it works, but IIRC it's one of the ones that actually sorta means what it says. Unlike "Actual Malice" in defamation law, which has nothing to do with malice.

The Titanic posted:This is true. You could say it's a lot about personality and not being too weird. Some weird is ok, but there's a level of weird that's hard to explain. People sometimes end up isolated to the point where meeting anyone is difficult. Happened to me, combination of mental illness and moving around a lot. It's not an easy thing to cope with, and obviously lots of people choose 'solutions' that are varying degrees of bad. Deciding that all women are mentally inferior whores who are simply incapable of recognizing your greatness seems to be a popular way of dealing with it. My point is it's not a matter of a relationship being easy. It is a matter of how the individual in question copes with it being hard. Some people give up and shut themselves away, and some people decide to throw a massive lifelong public fit.

The payday loan from Coutts was deffo the biggest thing that's happened in the last four months. Add to that uhhh... WTFOsaurus breakdowns Gorf is back, and his posts are good Derek called ELE PGabs had to get his skull refactored That timeline thing they'd started, where they gave dates to expected completion of minor tasks and then constantly extended the dates/added tasks that they could immediately mark as finished, and then finally gave up and stopped it. This is open development. They stopped the 'around the 'verse' show for a SPECIAL FEATURE: BURNDOWN That's all I can remember.

christ almighty, I just had a though. Imagine 3.0 is the MVP. They bring it out with pomp and fanfare. Obviously the current backers will be pissed, though some might write it off as "well they'er gonna keep developing it durrr" but...what about the people who backed and forgot about it? What happens when they learn it's finished and for the first time ever come to see the glory that is Star Citizen? What happens when they all start calling in to get a refund, only to be told to gently caress off by some hapless lackey fingered to take the abuse directed for Chris?
