Every games journalist either knows they are a joke and are fine with it, or are desperately insecure about that fact. Escapist is pretty firmly planted in the latter category. I cannot imagine a future where they back down to the hilariously impotent bullying cig is tossing their way

Even the launcher is broke, it tells me that I need to download a new version and to restart the launcher (which I didn't do) then that pop up closes and LAUNCH GAME is there, it does this every time

Edit: Yeah I am happy to make more vids now it's patched up, the problem I had was I didn;t play for 3 months because the patcher wanted to download 30 gigs every patch and it uses a torrent thing I think which no matter what settings you use in the launcher eats all your bandwith / slows the net down. Frankly watching youtube vids of bears being funny etc took priority over patching this

When I close my eyes, all I can see is an infinite ladder going straight to the stars all the way across the 'verse. And I see my hands moving on this ladder in perfect accord bringing me closer and closer to the light. Then I open my eyes and there is a smile on my face. Because I remember that some idiots pay money for jpegs of space ships.

Or are they still using the NO SPOILERS excuse as to why there is no info. - There was some broken basic levels of SQ42 from the leaked dev built, which didn't look like much work had been spent on it. - Also some voice-over dialogue leaked. - And a female reporter gave away the synopsis and the overbearing storyarch after CR was telling her (most probably being drunk) but asking her to keep it secret. Ofc he should have known better than trusting women. (sue me) sorla78 fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Oct 4, 2015 |

TBH I appreciate the level of detail that is going into the FPS module environments to make them look just like Doom 3. It's the kind of nostalgia callback that you can't just bust out, you really have to dig in there with an attention to detail and a desire to remake it as many times as necessary.

sorla78 posted:- There was some broken basic levels of SQ42 from the leaked dev built, which didn't look like much work had been spent on it. To be fair, they seem to have different game branches for different things, and the leak could have not had everything from the S42 branch. But really, what's the most likely explanation? I wanna know exactly what the gently caress is different about the FPS module now vs when they debuted it because it all looks the loving same and it all looked perfectly playable and it just makes zero loving sense why it isn't released right now

I think it'll be a quick decision, if they planned ahead correctly a response from CIG must have been seen as a real strong possibility and if their legal department was good they won't retract. If they do retract, then either the Escapist gets overruled by corporate, in which case some there might resign, or their legal department is poor which would call into question just how good the story was in the first place. If they pull it, it's going to be harder for anyone else to pick the story up as everything will be tainted by this.

KJDavid posted:And if CIG was really serious about their threat, why the hell would they have printed the C&D on the damned Internet? "Oh woe is us, things were going to well before the escapist libeled us and our backers got scared! boo hoo." quote:Next question - does California have a SLAAP law? I'm not sure it would be invoked though, the material in that article is nasty enough that it goes beyond the type of thing SLAAP is meant for. A case would rest on veracity (CIG showing definitive proof that most of it was not true) and public interest (escapist proving that the behavior of the executives of this company is valid for the public to know because they have $90 million of other people's money).

What're you talking about? All those ships are flyable. You can climb through them, have great space adventures, and explore planets that will never be in your imagination every morning. When you wake up, you can hold your dream of space trucker 3000 close to your heart as your kids cry because they don't have new diapers and the power bill WILL GET PAID TODAY, MARTHA, gently caress!

Its just impossible for this game to be completed as its been described with the amount of money they pulled in, like even if they had a hyper competent team working behind it and president/director that wasn't full of poo poo, they still wouldn't be able to finish it. Its basically a pyramid scheme right now with the money thats coming in from the new ships being used to fund the development of the old ships and whatever systems they promised. e-and whats hilarious is that on other sites like neogaf, which rightfully blasted other kickstarter producers from doing similar things, completely ignore or are actively sucking CRoberts cock in this. I cant wait for the amount of schadenfreude thats going to be released when it becomes obvious. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Oct 4, 2015 |
