Rad-daddio posted:You can have more than one hobby, y'all. Like, play video games and also go outside. You don't have to choose either/or. Not to mention I got a prebuilt pc that plays games really well and also lets me enhance my other hobbies (audio and film editing, photography, etc.) for 1k. That's not even that bad and for sure a lot less than I'd spend in a single year of surfing and snowboarding, while the computer will last for years. I definitely don't buy a lot of games, I don't get swept up in hype and usually I'll just wait for games to get super cheap before I buy. For drat sure I'm not gonna pay for a game that isn't even a game yet. So really, it's not all that bad. Just don't get into the fandom, pick up fun small games along with a few excellent AAA games, and you're golden. Just don't be a massive nerd /fanboy

I hope I never reach the point of blaming different people or departments for a game being bad. Who loving cares? It's either good or it's bad, that's the only truly relevant detail to consider. In closing, this whole thing could've been avoided if everyone was more like me

PHIZ KALIFA posted:didn't loving Puzzle Pirates manage to pull this off, where the players all have their own minigames while the captain maneuvers the ship about? Also I think it's called, Bridge Commander? I was obsessed with that game at 12 years old and it did indeed. There was measurable progression, if you were good and rich your could make tons of money but if you were poor and bad you'd barely make poo poo. Gameplay involved stocking up with supplies and going out to hunt larger and more dangerous ships for greater rewards. One player would own the ship and others would sign on to work it. More than that, groups of players owned islands themselves which could be seized in a blockade by another group of players. Star Citizen will never even get to that level

An insane mind posted:Micro transactions are super poo poo and in my opinion an actual crime towards people who are vulnarable to it. Cartel crates on the old republic nearly bankrupted me. I have to really police myself with 'free to play' games or else I just drop down the rabbit hole and that policing sucks all the remaining fun out of the games for me. Agreed, the one single time I've spent money like this was because I wanted to see what Madden Ultimate Team was like so I dropped like 50 bucks on some card packs. It was so loving dumb and useless. It was the exact same game except you had to pay extra for it. I was so ashamed that I even spent money on that that I canceled my EA Origin subscription (which I only got to play that game anyways). we are APPROACHING the BEGINNING of that territory where it SEEMS like it's all coming together ENOUGH to . . . how many qualifiers can fit in a single sentence?

Maybe I'll play it if it's really good and it can be pirated, probably I wouldn't, but either way it won't affect my life in any conceivable way.

WhyteRyce posted:Elevator loading screen was annoying but it at least gave us some snippets of light conversation between the characters which was enjoyable Yeah I mean.. it's better than a loading screen right? Even though loading screens aren't even that bad... I use a fast HDD since I have a lot of games and I've never waited more than a minute, and that's the most massive loads (heh). I think the lesson here is that gamers will complain about anything lobsterminator posted:I enjoy flight sims and I might actually like a space sim where you have semi-complex procedures and lots of knobs to handle your ship. Star Citizen is a weird mix where you have lots of useless animations and transitions that do nothing but slow down the gameplay, but the actual systems are just a HUD menu that says "turn space ship on." Not to mention all the pointless running through a station. If a game is going to be detailed and immersive, it has to be compellingly so. Like you say, a procedure to start up a drive and prepare the ship for takeoff could be somewhat interesting, with features and procedures differing for each ship. When it's just filling time, it's completely worthless. Just parasitic garbage sucking your life dry one long, pointless animation after another

Amethyst posted:He is not a gamergater though, obviously, you lunatic . Right there in his tweet he says gamer gate is horrible. What the hell is wrong with your brain I don't think you really deserve a response, especially since that post was a joke, but whatever In that tweet, he blames the media for somehow 'turning' gamergate into a hate movement. It's the media that's to blame, not anyone else, when in reality it was a hate movement the whole time and just picked up speed as it went along. I mean, that line "it's about ethics in video game journalism" has now become a self-aware, mocking slogan because it's the same kind of rhetorical nonsense that gamergaters always hid behind. Looks a lot like whitewashing to me although I'm no expert and I'm really not interested in re-litigating all that dumb poo poo

The way rape has gotten less common over time in society, you'd figure it'd be a lot less common in the spacefaring future. For some reason (I know the reason) these people want a space game with a Mongol-invasion-level incidence of rape

Ghost Leviathan posted:I'm fairly sure it's meant to be parody, but definitely some Poe's Law going on given most internet sci-fi fiction jams are basically grimdark oneupmanship contests.

Definitely a thread treasure, that one Statutory Ape posted:its not that people that play elite hate star citizen, its just that people that play elite know exactly what a bare-bones no depth flying game looks like. My favorite space game is Everspace, which simplifies the space experience down to exploring areas, upgrading ship and pew pewing enemies. There's probably a story too, I don't know. But what's really cool about that game is that it.... is a game. That is fun to play. That has all the things a game needs to have to be fun. Star Citizen, as far as I can tell, has almost none of those things. they do have elevator facings and the ability to push and pull, though! (well, not yet they don't, but it's definitely coming)

puzzle pirates solved that issue by making each person on the ship engage with their own puzzle game in order to contribute. I guess you could just sit there but that would hurt you just as much as other people. And the mechanics were limited enough that shenanigans weren't really possible puzzle pirates was actually kinda rad, a good example of an MMO done well

Everything, from color schemes to the design style has changed since then. and it's actually gotten a whole lot worse because those were pitch materials and marketing. at this point it looks like a game the developers put on a torrent site themselves to drum up interest. one where you randomly keep seeing assets from other games and it freezes after the first and only mission

I'm sure there's some big dumb story about it but WHY THE gently caress would you choose Cryengine of all things? Everything I know about it is that's it's extremely limited in many, many different ways. And is straight up worse than the other major engines. To me the thing that would've made the most sense is creating a proprietary engine that can actually do the things you need it to do. But of course they'd probably gently caress that up too Bip Roberts posted:Oh boy do we need eyes where we're going! loving lmao DoomLazer posted:Elite:dangerous is free on epic right now so I tried it. Only did the tutorial and the first cargo mission. I quit when it looked like I was going to have to jump to three different stars to get to my next destination. Obviously I didn't give it a chance, but I don't get whats fun about warping from star to star, then watching an auto docking sequence over and over. Where's the space rape? EverSpace is the (MUCH) better game to me, because it's focused on action, combat and exploration and basically throws out the rest. It is a roguelite basically so the setup is a bit different, but it absolutely works. The space ships handle like a dream and you really need to approach situations intelligently and use the right tools and weapons to do the job. The combat is genuinely interesting, challenging, and thrilling and even when you die you can come back a littler stronger. You can actually try the EverSpace 2 demo on steam for free right now, I'm pretty excited for that game and it looks incredible. Elite Dangerous and X4 just have way too much... unnecessary poo poo for my tastes. And they're boring, quite honestly Play fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Nov 25, 2020 |

DoomLazer posted:$350 in 2013 would be ~$391 today. By raising the price by $100 it will be properly adjusted for inflation by the time they get around to creating the 3D model in another 8 years. This makes about as much logical sense as any other theory the fans have come up with. I would say it makes a lot MORE logical sense. But the real answer is 1) more money for us 2) gently caress you waiting: the best gameplay you literally could not make this poo poo up

syntaxfunction posted:Why would you want to play a game that does everything anyway? I thought it was a great idea when I was like 14, but goddamn it seems like a tedious idea now. Pick a few systems, do them really well. Absolutely. I'm not looking for a video game in place of my life. Just something fun and enjoyable I can play when I have free time. The best games can and should be played in 15-90 minute increments imo I think the mentality of the whales is the opposite of this, they want a game that will fully and completely replace their own lives
