I mean at least there's some leeway in his request — we could start a fan war between 40k and Mutant Chronicles, for instance. Or discuss the evolution of whatever-trooper armour in the Star Wars expanded universe.

About a billion pages ago I mentioned I was taking CIG to small claims court here in the UK to get my refund. I just got notice they are defending the claim(!!); some guy called Ortwin Freyermuth, who is a director of CIG, signed off on the action. An hour of that guy's time must be worth more than the money I gave them.

I don't care enough to delve that deeply into it, but yeah. Google "Star Citizen" and "bargain" and you'll see whales argue that $350 for a JPEG is a bargain compared to other, more expensive ones. (Now is the time to buy!) It's perhaps less an outright scam than a racket; since they just pegged certain items at ridiculously high prices to sucker people into paying horribly inflated "bargain" prices for the other things.

An example would be a retail store that has a shelf selling a really expensive coffee machine. They do inventory at the end of the year, and realize that no customers bought any. The next year, they add a still-overpriced but comparatively less expensive coffee machine, and suddenly the new model is the best-selling item in the store. Customers are still overspending, but their brains were primed to do it because they saw a choice.

Please enlighten a simple pleb. I have never played Eve but can anyone tell me how in this universe anyone ever got the idea that 350 dollars is a deal for an in game asset? I gamed for years an paid 50 bucks for a game and maybe 20 more for a DLC. Everything was included and you could play and achieve all assets in a matter of weeks. I am not joking, is there a game that started this line of thinking? Cause screw whoever made it.

i mean part of the conceit of 40k is that there are no good guys, just people convinced they're the good guys and everyone else sucks, and also orkz

but specifically w/r/t grey knights, the only people who know about this practice are a) dead, b) grey knights, or c) inquisitors whose entire job is rooting out "threats to the imperium"

Why does the interior "bridge" of every ship look like the interior of a golf cart?

Random chairs placed in odd spots, a lot of empty space being taken up by nothing, and nearly complete vertical slices of glass instead of anything that even looks remotely aerodynamic.

For fucks sake, if someone told me this was the interior of a yacht, I would believe them:




The whole entire flight model is based off the golf cart in the hanger module isn't it?

That's probably true, but like most things 40K it's largely a result of the fact that all weapons in 40K are obscenely powerful bcuz :shrug:

Interestingly, although the platoon of Colonial Marines you see in "Aliens" gets loving rekt the Colonial Marines specialize less in massed combat and more in small unit (platoon size elements) actions, focusing on mobility and speed to move small numbers of marines around to great effect (which is why in Aliens you only see a single platoon of marines aboard a ship with sleeping capacity for 90 people). They fill a role that's similar to some of our special forces units today, something which never really came across in the movie.

Unless it comes from me or through an official channel like a front page post it's just one of our dev's knowledge / opinion at the time. It's part of the downside of being so open. We could vet every post but then it would greatly reduce the amount of questions that could get answered and generally make the process slower and less informative as we would be forced to not answer any question that doesn't have an official position or final design on them - which would probably be the majority of the Ask the Dev questions. When you Ask a Dev, you're getting that Dev's answer to the best of his knowledge from his small view on a huge project (We have close to 300 people working on this game and keeping everyone informed and up to date on all aspects of the game is an impossible challenge)

Its largely me being dumb. I went in thinking it was going to be more Metal Gear, not quite so much Devil May Cry. I love most of the DMC titles, but I didn't enjoy Rising. Bad expectations going into it, really soured the whole thing. Just like Lightning Returns. Would have been a fun game if not for the whole Dead Rising style time limit on the campaign. gently caress. That. Noise. Lemme explore an faff about doing bullshit.

I played the poo poo out of TC:AP, and loved it, until I started trying to get into an M7 sized ship. The fuckery I had to go through to get weapons for it, and the tendency for turrets to clip friendlies in big fire fights, thereby pissing off everyone, really killed the later parts of the game for me. Never finished the campaigns because of poo poo like that.
