Did DSmart sue Croberts?

Did that German poster (can't remember his username) merge all his accounts?

Did Seraph84 get banned again?

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Someone needs to explain to them that Dr. Smart isn't the boss or something, but is actually just another poster in these threads. And that no-one really cares about his game more than any other game.

He would make it with polyhedrons not polygons and you'd never get a solid row because rhombic triacontahedrons and great cubicuboctahedrons just can't fit together.

He'd be the last to realize his fatal mistake since he fired anybody who questioned his genius and never play tested it himself.

ask me about my brothel
Have y'all seen the second alpha release? Although there is but a glimpse of everything they claim to be implementing, it still looks beautiful and basic functionality works. And yes there are bugs for the simplest of things, it is a loving alpha.

And I understand they are personally attacking critics which is immature, but from what I gathered, these critics claimed that the entire thing is fake and they are never actually planning to release a game. Seeing the alpha tells me that something is being developed.

I haven't been following this story at all, my introduction to the entire thing was reading OP's post a week ago, and then seeing FrankieOnPCin1080p put out a video of him playing around in the alpha.

It just feels like both parties are exaggerating their claims. The developers were over ambitious and short sighted with their timeline, as most grand scale MMOs take half a decade to produce. I don't think their intention was ever to take everybody's money and not deliver something, they just hosed up.

Ultimately I don't care--I was never planning on playing it in the first place, even after seeing the gameplay which looks pretty cool. I'm just curious as to why this is being treated like an intentional scam, and not a development fuckaroo that they are unsuccessfully trying to resolve. Fuckaroos happen to a lot of games, we just don't hear about them because they aren't publicly funded projects. I mean, how many games have collapsed during development because of poor planning and ever-growing issues? The answer is "a lot".

That's the inherent problem with crowd funding, and projects across all categories have gone under, never to be released because of a myriad of reasons.

So I guess my question is: all of you butthurt Star Citizen backers, or do you just like being dramatic?

Bored with life

Really getting old again
Christmas livestream burning in her mind
Goons take the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees

Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that Crob's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die

Where's my game, gently caress, Jesus Christ
15 fps
She gives up
Better buy a new machine

Summer's day
Croberts ran away
Birds were nowhere
Still runs like shite
No refunds sent
Can't pay her rent
At least her ships have LTI

It is the second version of an alpha. If you've ever been to gaming conferences and gotten to preview alphas of larger studio games, not only are they still buggy, but they're like the 40th version of the alpha.

I'll let someone else fill you in on frankieonpc, long story short that was a heavily (HEAVILY) edited video, and he was probably paid anyway.

As for the entire game, you can call it a fuckaroo but over a goddamn million dollars has been put to this game and what is there to show. I'm serious, what can you honestly say about this game looks like it's had a million dollars spent on it, let alone 100 million?

Serious answer from my perspective...
No, I am not butthurt at all, it's all so silly and ridiculous and it's like a perpetual comedy machine to me, nothing more really.
I own the game, can barely play it and think it looks dull, I think the ideas behind it are dull and I won't bother playing it much if at all if / when it's released.
I don't want to be That Guy but getting mad over vid games is not great, I've never done that because they are just games really.
In short, to me it's just poo poo all the way down, lovely poo poo but funny to point and laugh at. CIG won't ever impress me because I am not their target demographic anyway, I fuckin hate sci fi and all that bullshit :lol: Wooo I'm a Star Citizen, here I go woooosh!!!!

This is supposed to be a military ship, right? The first officer talks about being part of some battlegroup. There is a naval base in my town and you can spot the off duty military guys in a second just by how they stand and how they move, and the characters in that tour are not military. Not even a little bit. Mocap is pretty pointless when none of your actors can manage a military bearing.

And what's the deal with the dumpy pajamas? I assumed the mocap suits looked like that for reasons, but apparently they were a faithful model of future military uniforms. Makes all the men look paunchy. Geez, if all you can get are doughy civilian actors, at least have them wear girdles during filming so they don't look like such doughy civilians.

They should have said it was a civilian freighter or something.

Yeah, it's a UEE Navy ship. I think the UEE Stanton is supposed to be patrolling some backwater system featuring one of the mining platforms for Shubin Interstellar. Supposedly they used performance capture for some of the guys who handle guns and poo poo, but I guess the old-rear end frigate full of chucklefucks like Morrow would likely have a pile of rejects. Just imagine the Stanton is the equivalent of the crew from Down Periscope, only without the humor or joy.

I don't think they have spent all 100mil, that's just what they have received in donations.

And given the expansiveness of the game, it is safe to say they spent more than a million just developing the engine/foundation for the game, before they even started making it playable.

And all the videos I've seen have been beautiful. The interior lighting, the planets, the ships. All very cool.
