Beet Wagon posted:also lol if you do bad stuff you're gonna have to wait in jail or play a prison minigame Prisons? This is just so the weird backers can get some sort of 'bite the pillow' gameplay mechanic in there isn't it?  Caves? As prison spaces in the far future of CR's 'vision'? I think even in 2019 there are reasons why they are not used as such.

free hubcaps posted:idk if it’s been posted itt but the saddest/most infuriating star citizen thing I’ve seen was a cap of a forums post where the poster was clearly having a problem with impulse control/addiction to buying spaceship jpegs and I think said something about it seriously affecting his finances, it seemed kind of like a cry for help and the first loving reply was a mod or some other shill telling him to drown his sorrows by buying more spaceship jpegs. I remember that, the enabler was telling the guy with the addiction problem that he should buy a ship with a hot tub to destress in lol. :facepalm: During my time as a backer (my 'dumb' time), I had argued with that particular enabler as they didn't understand why having toilets and food related items/needs in a mostly spaceship combat game was dumb as gently caress. Not long after that, I became an goon

Ideally this is where mirificus posts the screen caps because it was a memorable moment in this poo poo wreck video game Holy poo poo, it was Humility, you are correct. I hope he managed to get out of the con and get things back on track in his life.Mirificus, do your thing dude.

Ffs, "Luxury". One of those words that for some unknown reason, really pisses me off when it's used to describe something that in no way shape or form, can be described as such. Where exactly does "luxury" come into pixels in any way? It's not a bar of loving soap or a particulary soft towel, it's a piece of really lovely code that doesn't work very well. No matter how 'pretty' something digital looks, it's never "luxury". Star Citizerps are really loving weird and apparently, super easy to dupe out of even more money. 890Jump and catte taxxe:

Mr.PayDay posted:A commando asks: What do you do if SC doesn’t pan out and fails ? They are being led by the thought process of "What if it works out and is everything it's supposed to be?", and by doing so they are completely forgetting Crobblers+co track record on just developing SC alone. There is no way it'll work out the way it's been promised/said to go, the commandos think there is a possiblity of it becoming exactly what CR says he wants it to be. Star marine is an absolute guide to how the rest of the game will end up, shown to be kinda cool, hyped to buggery, forgotten, then walked back, scrapped and replaced by generic crap, then left as a shining example of the bigger picture. Every part of SC has been handled in the exact same way so far. CR's 'how to' do vidya gamez: Hype a thing to buggery and back, take a load of money for it, Showcase a concept image or vid of the thing and take lots of money, Forget about it for a while (usually when it should be released), Go back to working on thing but throw everything out and redo but with shittier everything, Hype the gently caress out of thing yet again, add new ways to spend money, Forget what people gave you money for, Release thing in a godawful state nothing like how it should be, Completely forget about thing and do something else, Take more money, hype everything.

Low hanging fruit I know, but does this guy even know what the 'shift' key on the keyboard is for? Seems like the kind of person who wouldn't normally hesitate to use 'caps lock' at any chance, so I wonder why he's so shy about capital letters. Don't even get me started on him starting a sentance with 'but', or even the lack of commas.

Poor developers will have to implement saluting holograms for the decks of the big ships now. During the playthrough, Sam went into a river to wade across as a short cut, it turns out that unsecured packages on your rig can be unbalanced and fall off/get caught by the water and get swept or float away. Detail with purpose, detail with consequence, detail as an actual working feature! Crobblers must be livid.

Viscous Soda posted:I'm really starting to see why Crobberts said that Star Citizen could never be developed for a console, it's not processing power, it's just that the project out lives any console it could possibly be developed for. To show an example of just how glacial Crobblers works bear in mind that Planetside 2 was recently released when the SC (already a year into dev) kickstarter began, and doesn't Planetside 2 seem so very fresh and new nowadays (lol) Zaphod42 posted:And MGS5 development would have gone on another 4 years if Kojima could get the funding to run away with it.

Scruffpuff posted:Ultimately it doesn't matter if Elite was in development for 200 years. It's a game, it came out. Star Citizen is poo poo, it will always be poo poo, whether it took 10 years to make or 10 minutes or 10 centuries. I'm not sure I understand the zero-sum approach here. Elite is not Star Citizen. Elite was developed by game developers. Star Citizen is failing to be developed by a team of green barely-game developers headed by a guy who, sadly, descended into a career fraud. Comparing Star Citizen to any legitimate game is disingenuous on the face of it. The poster's intent isn't to compare development times; the intent is to get people accustomed to hearing Elite and Star Citizen being compared to each other to imply they are contemporaries. Scruffpuff posted:This is what makes their failure so delicious and nutritious. Chris Roberts insulted every publisher, developer, and game out there, talked up his game to impossible levels, then made something so bad that to this day, despite 8 years of evidence and having personally experienced it, I still can't really believe it. It's the best karma blowback I have ever seen, and the explosion taking insufferable cultist pricks with it is just icing.  Could not agree more.

If toejam's going to label everyone in a group by using one example then, There is at least one of them who is a convicted child molester/peadophile. Not really a good idea to judge entire groups based on the few tbh is it Toejam?

Sarsapariller posted:Hard to tell. Something enormously complex that's taken the manpower of half their studio for 6 months without ever once registering on the roadmap, would be my bet. I reckon there'll be some sort of huge build up of hype and expectation with very few spoilers or clues, everyone will watch with baited breath as CR, barely containing his own excitement and dribbling profusely, does the finger point to the vid tech guy and stammers the words "Um so yeah, ahhh, roll it". Then as the dark screen behind him slowly starts to come to life, the crowd of super nerds, clutching their 'not at all' limited edition SC tankards of factory made powered orange flavoured squash drink and visibly shaking, await the beauty of CR's "vision". Tears of joy well up in the eyes of absolutely all who witness the unfolding event, including us, here. CR's eyes grow large, almost anime-like in appearance, from the screen, light bursts into the venue causing all to squint. "LOOK ON MY WORKS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR!!" CR bellows, slowly, the crowds eyes adjust to the scorching light, the Goons watching from afar are lost for words, there are no words. The majesty of the spectacle is overwhelming. The screen shows, the cafeteria scene, a commando jitters to a chair and falls though it, the proceedural eggs are floating high above the frying pan, a T-posing commando in the background spins on the spot. It is glorious. Buy all the Idris.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, even if the start of development on the latest Elite can somehow be counted from Mr Brabens first mention, it wasn't funded by selling fictional jpegs and empty promises to members of the public constantly over the course of it's dev time, it was funded by the success of previous Frontier dev games and actually released as a very playable game avaliable for professional games/software critic and player based reviews. Basically, what I'm saying is, Elite wasn't a full on attention seeking money pit using "charitable donations in exchange for lofty promises" from the gullible and easily swindled public. (Yes I know Elite had a kickstarter, but the game is released, kickstarter peeps got their game and it ticked all the boxes it said it would imho) For SC fan redditors and any shills reading who fail to grasp the responsibilities and burdens of failure; Elite = Privately funded via either profits of previous products or companies own pocket = Take as long as you want, it's your project, no public money or goodwill at stake. The company carries the burden of loss in the event of failure. SC = Funded from the public via promises and encouraging people to spend = You are open to critism by the public, it's the publics project, get a loving move on. The public carry the burden of loss in the event of failure. Sabreseven fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Sep 25, 2019 |
