I think my old joke in this thread was that there will be grown adults one day saying "Grandad, we know you've always loved space, so we've booked you a holiday on the moon! The rocket takes off in three hours!" and the grandad replying "I can't! I'm waiting for the 12.78Z patch to download, it'll change everything!"

trucutru posted:Yes, that's why they immediately reacted to the news about citizens discontent as soon as it left the safe zones of reddit and spectrum. Isn't the point of a normally F2P game that there's actually something of a game to play? I'm just not seeing how anyone can come to this mess now and think "Yeah, totally worth pumping money into."

tuo posted:lowtax drew spaceship jpegs for money for a while Jobbo_Fett posted:No he didn't. He was too loving lazy to even do that Indeed. I was thinking more of projects that CIG/Roberts have given some backing to in some way. They were quite involved in that boardgame (some of the artwork was Crobbler and Sandi's heads archered onto sci-fi artwork), and I'm kinda suspicious that the Wing Commander cartoon crap might have been part of a payoff to make Lesnick leave. "Just gently caress off and we'll... I dunno, find you a load of Wing Commander material to play with. The guy who's got it now wants it out of the way, just claim that you need $10k to buy it and we'll promote the campaign."

Trilobite posted:I'm sure a professional software developer will be on reddit within the next few hours to explain how this is entirely normal for a project of this size and ambition, and getting those jobs filled will be easy. After all, the best way to do things that have never been done before is to hire people who have never done anything before, which is why a CIG employee lineup these days looks like a high school class photo. It's like how according to science, the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it flies. People with no programming experience don't know what you can't do, so they do it. Star Citizen proves this logic.

Throwing more systems that don't work onto a "game" that doesn't work has been CIG's approach from the beginning. Why bother to build a proper foundation when you can just keep propping up the skyscraper with more and more scaffolding?

Can't be bothered to sit through long videos pontificating on what happened to some internet reviewer.

But we have the hologram gadget where you can put up a hologram version of yourself and you can be off sneaking somewhere else. We are going to have definite things that will help you with hiding your radar and noise signature, or heat signature, and stuff like that. So we definitely want that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqubhTODE-Q

The Titanic posted:Ahh yes. The over-engineered gun lovingly made by artists Over the course of probably 2 and a half years featuring more polygons than some games have in their entirety. Like everything in Star Citizen, it looks good if you don't know anything about the subject and don't think it about it. I've never touched a live gun, let alone a grenade launcher, but I've watched enough Forgotten Weapons videos and messed around with enough airsoft to know that thing is loving ridiculous. It's supposed to be nearly a thousand years in the future, and that's basically a Milkor MGL with a Deus Ex body kit. Using that in the year 2948 would be like the Marine Corps issuing slings and wooden shields today. It does work as a good reminder that Star Citizen is fractally poo poo. It's poo poo as a whole, and you can zoom in on the tiniest fragment to find that is also poo poo. There is nothing good about it, no one knows what they're doing or why. There's no plan, just the coke-fuelled blusterings of a lunatic who managed to get his name attached to a couple of successful games two decades ago. It's funny to watch though.

Lammasu posted:To be fair, a lot of games do that kind of stuff. The pump action shotguns in Halo and Doom fill me with indiscernible rage. Sure, but Halo and Doom are pretty much "Let's do this because it's cool." AND THAT'S FINE. I have absolutely no problem with a videogame (or movie, or anything) saying "gently caress realism, we're doing something awesome." But SC has made such a big deal about realism that I don't think they get to go "gently caress it, just have this because it's cool, who cares if it makes sense for the setting?"
