Hav posted:There was a cosplay competition in the early days, iirc, and bunnyman was an entrant. Also the kid in the full face black tracksuit. This guy? This was not a costume contest lol this dude literally posted on Spectrum and Reddit asking whether or not Star Citizen needed a "Dark Knight" to protect it from Derek Smart and the goons (y'know, by murdering them).

skeletors_condom posted:One notion presented in this thread that I strongly disagree with is the idea that some SC fanboys lean alt-right. You mean besides the dude who called everyone slurs on his video game blog and the other dude with 88 in his name that also just happens to be really mad at the Jews for doing "cultural marxism" right?

monkeytek posted:Exactly how much of this world spanning city can you actually interact with? There are a handful of landing zones you can go to (the only noteworthy one being Area 18) and literally everywhere else on the planet is blocked off by a big red exclusion zone that shows up if you get too close and kills you if you go past it. That's it lol.

trucutru posted:Has there ever a single video of a commando walking on the underside of a ship? If what I think they did to hack their physics system is true then it shouldn't be possible. No, you can't walk on the underside of your ship. I don't remember if you could at one point during the brief time they had "mag boots" in the game (did they actually have those in the game or am I misremembering?) but it basically works just like the big flat landing pads on Olisar: if you try to walk on the underside you just bounce around with your nipple jets.

Spiderdrake posted:Hey Beet can you do mod stuff in games or is that not cool? Yeah I have buttons here. I don't have a PM from you though so if you need me to do a thing let me know. The procgen stuff is cool, but the problem is the way they're doing it is creating more work than they could possibly hope to complete. They should go back to the idea of having one or two bespoke landing zones on a planet, and then work out from there after the game is in a better space.

Rotten Red Rod posted:What happens when you die, anyway? Do you wake up in a wank tube an hours' travel away, or is there any sort of nearby respawn system? There's some sort of proximity thing, so if you land in their big dumb city and then go fly around and die you respawn there, or at least you used to. It was how people were getting stuck in the city, unable to leave. They game would crash before they got far enough away to wake up at Olisar (where you wake up the other 90% of the time that you're not near enough to one of the two cities to respawn there).

No Mods No Masters posted:I can’t believe they actually made a new star marine map. I’m assuming that one streamer who played it gave up long ago, reducing the player count to actual 0 Of all the loving things they could have added here, at the hour in which even their fans are getting mad, I absolutely would not have picked "instanced map for the bad FPS game mode" lol, much less one that bears a striking resemblance to parts of the Titanfall 2 map 'Complex.'

You kinda answered your own question: it has been five years. The only people still putting money into this black hole are either new folks who have never heard about the game before today or people who have been around so long that the only option they have is to either A) keep supporting the dream (remember this will revolutionize gaming!) or B) admit that they spent the last five years getting conned. Option A is - for many people - much easier.

Zaphod42 posted:Personally I like Starcraft where SC is cowboys in space and Brood War is red october in space. (we don't talk about SC2) Man, the original SC/BW had such a cool atmosphere. I replay the originals once every couple years and it's surprising how much it still holds up even outside of my insane nostalgia. Can't believe they set that all aside for "Every race has a Space Jesus" poo poo in the sequel(s)

Zaphod42 posted:~ METZEN ~ One of the biggest changes was how small the "universe" felt in the second one. The first one was written in a way that made you feel like something of a bit player in events, even though you were in charge of some "big" heroes or whatever. It felt like you were a small cog in a huge machine that just happened to pull through and save the day. By SC2 the game is more about the hero characters than anything else, and it loving sucks. It's hard to describe but it's sorta the same problem retail WoW has for a lot of people.

Lacklustre Hero posted:I've started following Star Citizen a bit lately as it seems like a funny train wreck and was wondering - what can you actually do in this "game"? Like I've seen videos of people running around and shooting at squares in outer space, and there's talk of missions, but how does this translate to shills applauding a sense of discovery and emergent gameplay? Do I just lack appreciation and vision? Basically. There are like 11 mostly-empty moons/planets to land on, two big space stations and a handful of small ones or rest stops. There are a couple main mission types:
Beyond that there's mining which is just trading with an insanely boring extra step. Mostly what you do in Star Citizen is fly through an empty map, desperately trying to find something even remotely interesting to do, which is why Rexzilla's ebic 50 person PVP jankfests have gained as much traction as they have.

Thom12255 posted:If pretty much all of SQ42 got thrown out, does that include most of the 'scenes' the actors mocapped all those years ago? Was all that money wasted? Pretty sure those have been reshot at least a couple times. There was a period in 2017-2018 where every update included something along the lines of "Chris was back in the studio this week shooting more mocap!"

Is there an origin story for that or has toojie finally had a complete psychotic break? I'm guessing he doxxed someone and found their arrest record or something. Because that's a very normal thing to do and one poster definitely represents us all, obviously.

The thing with the whole "You guys are bad!"/"No, you guys are bad!!" bit is that Star Citizen is specifically designed to appeal to 30/40-something year old dorks with a long internet history. There's no real differentiation between most fans and 'haters' other than how they feel about Star Citizen. It's a shared pool, so if you find someone who did something bad on 'one side' it's perfectly likely that if you go back far enough they either A) used to be in the other group, or B) have accounts all over the internet. The pedo dude is a good example. Is he a goon because he had an account here? Or is he a star citizen fan because he had unwavering support for the project and competed in their ship contest thing? The answer pretty much depends on which subpopulation you're trying to assign blame to. e: between most fans and 'haters' I should say. The drama surrounding Star Citizen has exceeded its initial audience and drawn in tons of other people who may not have ever actually had a stake in the game.

Lol this thing being the only ship that can do quantum interdiction is amazing. It almost makes me want to get one because griefing somebody 10 minutes into their 15 minute travel is loving  Too bad it'll be broken as gently caress.

monkeytek posted:Let me guess it will still be slower than all of the whale ships so totally useless, unless you know the whales pathing ahead of time. Based on skimming that fawning Newsweek article (lol) it seems like its gonna be seriously undergunned but tbh you can pull people out of quantum in a 10,000-20,000 meter sphere and it's entirely passive (it charges up and deploys, like the EMP) so your victims cant do anything about it aside from find you and kill you. Its gonna be a nightmare lol.
