I discovered this farce around the infamous Christmas stream where Croberts struggled to play the game he apparently was all in on. I think it’s high time we direct Greenpeace and PETA in his direction; this amount of whaling must be breaking some international treaties.

At this point, I’m actually surprised Crobear doesn’t just flat out deny making all those ludicrous promises, evidence be damned.

Shitizens claiming that SW: Squadrons is good for SC down the line reminds me of Hitler in his last days before his suicide when he went “actually it’s great that the allies are leveling Berlin to the ground with nonstop artillery and air raids because that makes it so much easier to rebuild the city as Germania!”

Spectre was kind of eh. More than anything it cemented just what an outdated creepy character Bond is, Daniel Craig’s charm be dammed. It did have a real good fight scene on a train tho.

No Time To Die is a real kickass spy-film title and I’m cautiously optimistic.

The one thing I hate the most with Shitizens is their arrogance and disdain for anything that isn’t touched by Croberts sweaty palms.

“Look at these simp AAA developers, making games that entertain millions across the globe without even doing something totally new and groundbreaking!” (whatever that is in this day and age.

There is a constant ticking timebomb as the sound track to their posturing, and it's the ticking of time until a grade C piece of absolute garbage gets released to the public.
It's the undeniable truth of where we are heading, straight to bargainbinsville, and it's fantastic.

You’re not wrong, and I’m gleefully waiting for that day. But at the same time, I find their constant shitposting on anything that isn’t SC to be grating.

The game I look forward to the most right now is Deathloop. Arkane Studios make great games, and Deathloop looks really cool and fun. But I know that if any of these idiots were to see a trailer for it, their takeaway would be “produced by Bethesda? Hah, look at these losers”.

I mean if it looks cool it shouldn’t really have to make sense in a sci-if environment.

Croberts and the Shitizens are really digging their own graves when they keep on insisting that SC has to be the most realistic fedilistic thing in existence.

The AT-AT is objectively a stupid impractical design but it’s cool as gently caress so there you go. Slap that baby in your movie and you got something that will endure forever. But if you insist your movie is a realistic take on futuristic vehicle designs, you’re just choking yourself into producing boring stuff.

So what, they’re comparing the repeated delays of Cyberpunk to SC?

Last I checked, Cyberpunk wasn’t slinging pre-order deals to the tune of thousands of dollars, several years ago.

Ok so if all of this is "already in the game or coming soon" and just needs some new systems "layered in" why did you have to come up with a whole long metaphor to explain it? It's in the game so it speaks for itself right?


This is truly a thing of beauty. WHY ARE THERE 2 GLASSES. WHO DARES PARTAKE IN THE SPACE WINE ON MY SHIP?! HOW DO I STOP THE LOWLY PILOT?! Oh wait maybe it's subsumption bonding :heysexy:

This reminds me of that documentary that came with the 2004 Star Wars DVD box, wherein Mark Hanukkah tells a story about how the studio men was worried when they were making the first film, that Chewbacca had no clothes on or as Hamill put it: “of all the things to worry about : The Wookiee has no pants.”

Phone decided that Hamill the first time was to be Hanukkah and who am I to judge?

I’m genuinely curious: if CIG just out of nowhere stated tomorrow that “Star Citizen is done. This is it. This is the full release”, would the whales be outraged or would they quadruple down on it being an amazing product with groundbreaking X Y and U?

I feel like the only reason this great blind behemoth of a game schlogs on is that it is, all things considered, not that big of a market for these vague original IP space shooty games.
Can you imagine what it’d look like if Star Wars Squadrons’ gameplay reveal had the same air of cringe, brokenness, anguish and boredom as that legendary Christmas stream all those moons ago?

It’d be nuked from orbit by the media and meme landscape.

Whatever can be salvaged is really besides the point. The point being: they kickstarted the game eons ago and promised pretty much anything to anyone. The only thing that keeps this house of jpg.‘s from falling apart is the perpetual development cycle. If the reason you pledged 6 years ago still isn’t nowhere to be seen, don’t worry! The game is in development, they’ll get there!

I feel like taking over the development of SC at this point would be kind of like taking over the rule of
Nazi Germany in May 1945. The writing’s on the wall, pal.
