i dont know that lightning has struck once yet

also my bet on what emerges is ashes, suicides and thinkpieces

Yeah I don't know that a design philosophy that involves heavy emphasis on FMV and cinematics necessarily translates to lightning striking

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.

It couldn't possibly be more obvious

It's like CRobbers finished watching Ender's Game, snorted a line and made the developers push the entire schedule to put sataball as priority #1, then did another line before passing out/burying his head into a mountain of coke on his desk and forgot about sataball when he woke up.

I'm betting he yelled at them for not making SATABall top priority after watching Ender's Game and then yelled at them for making it their top priority when there's mocap footage to integrate

just like Steve Jobs would have done :smuggo:

I just realized what was bugging me about the vid. There was no music.

Even "realistic" shooters like BF1 have underlying music. It doesn't dominate the game and I rarely notice its there until now when there was none. Virtually all shooters/games do. It sets the mood and the pace. In BF the music gets faster as you near the end of the round etc.

it's a test vid, the release will have Full Burn as the music

It's evocatis all the way down. I know it from good sources that there is an evocati layer already testing 4.0.

it would make more sense to make it something a little clearer - something like, Operation Testers. And then you could number the levels, so that Evocati level 1 would be something like Operating Tester 1, or OTI for short.

And then you could continue by having OTII, OTIII, etc. each accessible for a larger subscription fee.

I'm not sure if SC would be so good for his PTSD after his chariot got suicide ganked the third time by a goon repeatedly shouting ALLAHU AKBAR on chat.

and once they know who he is, that's exactly what's going to happen - over and over and over again.

It's like they actually took time and made a concerted effort to make it more generic-looking over the years. You have to actually *work* to get those results from your average SC chariot.

I suspect that it gets closer to CR's vision the more generic it starts to look

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/5ixkl4/an_open_letter_to_cig_from_someone_who_actually/

"As the years went by, many other games tried to copy and latch on to CIG�s success, such as Elite Dangerous and No Man�s Sky. Some with more success than others. Many figured that all they had to do was make a �space game� and get there first and they would succeed. Almost all of them missed what made CIG and Star Citizen so successful despite the game not even being out and having many, many, issues and delays." Jesus Christ

wait does he mean the Elite Dangerous that started development 2 years before Star Citizen? I guess he must, we know shitizens have a terrible grasp of time

If you look at the positives of Star Citizen it's currently a very very good way to stand in / near a corridor and also it's en extremely good way to be the shape of a spaceship and walk around in a skybox

when you put it like that, I see why people like Cymelion are drawn so strongly to The Dream

Chris Roberts is furiously coding all night to make this for us poor, greedy, PC game starved masses.

they are going to make the software libraries widely available, which is good because Item 2.0 is going to redefine existence as we know it

I love that people think giving a for-profit corporation a donation is somehow an act of defiance. If I were in the game industry I would take this as a sign that [b]my customers are not worthy of even a modicum of respect.[\b]

I think gamers have established this a long long time ago, let's be perfectly honest. Star Citizen just turned that theory into law.
