Although I do remember being an idiot child in the 90's and thinking it would be really cool if the tech got better so games could be CINEMATIC and boy was I wrong. Cutscenes in games are agony to me. I kind of have a soft spot for cutscenes from games like SC, although they were used sparingly.

I know movies often give characters a chance to monolog but that SC2 ending was silly. Also kinda deflates all tension when you know someone in hulking armor is between the bullet and kerrigan the whole time.

Why would anyone want to explore boring procedural caves in a broke rear end piece of poo poo like SC when Deep Rock Galactic exists? This is the problem with trying to make your game do everything, none of the features are going to be particularly deep, innovative, distinct, or fun. Hmmmm, one game has a noticeable feel/style and lets my friends and I shoot hordes of bugs as a team of drunk space dwarves, the other has empty voids of nothing, bland milsperm graphics, and if I fire my gun at someone I'll noclip into the sun. Which one is more fun? I know Kitchen Nightmares is reality TV and should not be taken as fact, but I love that garbage and one of the running themes to a lot of bad restaurants is bland food from having gargantuan menus. Oh yeah, we serve EVERYTHING but none of it is particularly good and our restaurant is right next to a bunch of places that serve much better versions of the same stuff for a similar price. Whhhhy are we going out of business?? Elderbean fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Sep 28, 2019 |

When I was in the Navy the standards were loooow and I can only imagine they've gotten lower. Our fitness test was a 1.5 mile run, and as many pushups and sit ups you could do in 2 minutes. Minumums were based on age/gender and they were low. We took them every six months, and as a nerd who never excersized I managed to pass all of mine. Good lord, how can you not jog a little over a mile?

Like half of them are Nazis or Alt-Right so kudos to Sandi and Chris for milking them for all they're worth. They're both scumbags but at least a good chunk of the people they're stealing from are worse.

So many of the complaints about GREEDY PUBLISHERS are from people who buy the same AAA slop over and over again. Ugh, I HATE EA *Something with Darth Vader on it is coming out HERE'S EVERYTHING I HAVE *DLC exists loving GREEDY PUBLISHERS, THANKS FOR THE REDDIT GOLD EVERYONE

In a way, SC is like a few more years of game dev school for all the young people coming into the company, only they're getting paid for it. All the stress of making a game, but no actual game being made.

The terrible collectors accessories are my favorite part of these gaming flops. Remember the FO76 bag and whiskey bottle? It's always cheap plastic poo poo. I knew two guys who always got the super special edition of every major release. Their house was littered with plastic garbage.

In the tabletop RPG community bragging about your game having "adult content" and being "for mature gamers only" usually amounts to sessions full of edgy stuff a 14 year old stuff would see as inherently more adult than the baby poo poo they used to like. So, lots of rape and violence for no reason. It's usually a huge red flag. Glad to see the same trend applies here. All these mature and cultured adults who want refined rape and torture in their space sim.

Haven't played the yakuza games but I feel the same way about open world games compared to stuff like Dues Ex. I vastly prefer games like the latter, where you're tossed into a series of hubs that are relatively open, with multiple ways of solving problems or navigating the hub. I'm so bored by all the open world stuff that amounts to trudging through samey scenery and (very linear) dungeons over and over with some MMO tier quests tied in.

Think about how much history and culture some cities alone have, and how long it would take for a writer to come up with the same thing from scratch. Creating a living and breathing world with interesting content on a planetary scale is impossible. No writing team has enough time to fill a whole loving planet with deep and interesting content, let alone "hundreds"

I ran into this while DMing Stars Without Number. It's the tabletop equivalent of what SC is trying to be; The DM uses dice to generate a big sci-fi sandbox for the players to explore and they decide where to go and what to do. It's pretty hard to flesh out entire planets and that kind of prep would be totally useless most of the time because the party doesn't need to explore every inch of every planet. Instead, the planets are like setpieces for ideas, themes, conflicts, etc. What makes the sandbox fun is what the players decide to do about these encounters and how those actions bleed out into the universe as a whole. Sandboxes don't need lots of detail, they need interesting problems that the players confront while pursuing their own goals, non-linear solutions to those problems, and factions above the players that react to those solutions or are interested in the outcome. But so far we have "deliver boxes for creds oops you fell into the empty moon but boy is it big"

Jonny Shiloh posted:I think SWN took at least some elements from Traveller didn't it? I used to play Traveller back in the day, it had a pretty decent system for generating planets and cities as I recall. It does, but it's still fairly broad, planets kinda have a dominant biome/theme/culture because it would be insane to expect someone to flesh out dozens of planets with dozens/hundreds of unique cultures, countries, cities, etc. Star Trek, Mass Effect, and Star Wars kinda have a similar thing too. Planets usually have a dominant environment (lava planet, ice planet, jungle planet, desert planet) and a central species with a fairly homogeneous culture and language. Even in written fiction, where there are no budget constraints, planets and cultures are generally setpieces instead of totally fleshed out worlds with thousands of languages, hundreds of religions, etc. There just isn't enough time for anyone to develop something like that, nor would there be much of a point.

Loving these janky Theater of War gifs. FPS games are a genre where everything "feeling right" is essential to having fun. Can't imagine tolerating any of that, especially paying to tolerate it. 250 million lmao.

Scruffpuff posted:I must be missing the joke. My read on it: they're making fun of the outlandish claims of the first panel, and contrasting it to the claims of the second panel, which is to simply give players what they say they want without reinventing the wheel. I think it's "Look, the overlords are making ECONOMICS in their SOPHISTICATED game while the whole world is making GBS threads itself for PLEB TRASH."

When Star Citizen was Kickstarted in 2012, WoW had been out for around 8 years. In 2020, Star Citizen will still be in Alpha and Wow will have aged another 8 years. I dunno, just weird that the biggest MMO was only about halfway to it's current stage when SC was initially funded.

Star Citizen is a very compelling argument against the notion that people are rational actors who are always trying to save resources/money. Turns out DREAMS and FICTION are more than enough to milk millions out of customers. You don't even need to produce results, you just need to sell DREAMS and tap into FOMO.

Chris Robbers had just finished personally rendering every hair on a space man's rear end in a top hat when he turned to Sandi and said, "You know, this looks really smooth." He said that is a feeling he sometimes has about his work. He had just finished rendering an rear end. When Sandi wanted to know why, Robbers said, "It's kind of glistening to the touch," which she found adorable.
