It's very nice that we're encouraging ex-commandos to come here and post but if you think about it we're just luring the scum of the internet to these forums. let's face it SA is bad enough without a bunch of additional unfunny, meme-spewing reddit neckbeards sliming around. Sorry to the 1 in 10 of you new posters that are worth a poo poo but most of you aren't even good enough for Games.

Mr.Tophat: Apr 7, 2007; You clearly don't understand joke development

Listened to the audio here and it's pretty artificial from Sandi. Some of it is personable, but wow, 1.17."If you're nervous, just know that I was.one.of.the.test.subjects." Beep boop. I am a robot reading. Perhaps I'm nitpicking. She has good cadence now again, but man, I want to edit it so her dialogue so it sounds more human and less like terms and conditions being read out for an advert. I dunno. Can't quite place my finger on it. Again, I might be nitpicking.

That final voice actor is excellent however.

We are not population control, we are joke makers, and if something awful has an influx of 'scum' than the jokes shall be told and the report button will do its job. It's all part of the beautiful tapestry that is this bedridden forum.

Besides, gently caress it, ours is not the reason why, ours is but to do and shitpost.

E: hey I think it was you that posted way back when someone was talking about "building upon" their previous work or whatever, and I think it was Swedish(?) where "Vi Byggen" means like 12 different things like "we're gonna build, we're building on something, maybe we're gonna build with these random bricks laying around?"

I'm going to assume this is pronounced exactly like English "We Biggen" because 1: that'd be amazing if building something was somehow cognate to making it bigger, and 2: I like to think somewhere in the old countries there's a bunch of people walking around saying what sound to be absolutely English words but the grammar is totally different and incomprehensible.

All of science fiction. Anything could be possible.

And this is their design. A Farm Bureau agent, who even in the T pose, looks tired and withered looking, from a bygone era even in today's world. The only ounce of sci-fi is some sort of pilot wings that look photoshopped onto his 1940's era bomber jacket.

I can guess the hat says SERENITY because it's the original 'verse totally created by Roberts and nothing is stolen. You can't even find 42 things ripped off from any other franchise because it's totally new and unique.

The model looks pretty great though. Kudos to the modellers. I can only imagine how they must have felt as they were making a John Rhyes farmer for their ultra future space game.

Man, isn't Star Citizen supposed to be set like 1000 years from now? Can you imagine what it would be like to work with a person who dresses like a generic peasant from the 11th century

I don't think we are focussing enough on this aspect. Even if SC/SQ42 was a legit game that was actually going to be released, it's going to be TERRIBLE. This bizarre World War 2 pew pew/ Sheepskin Jacket / Dog Tag/ Gruff ole Veteran/ Lancaster Bomber turret nonsense fused with sub-par racist stereotype Star Trek baddies. It's an awful, awful, hackneyed, naff, derivative, lovely, tired pile of old bullshit even as a story pitch, let alone a tech demo, let alone a loving AAA game. I mean you can just instantly visualise the cut scenes, the tropes, the McGuffin, the twist, the denoument just by looking at this poo poo.

The decline and fall of the UEE can be largely pinned on the adoption of the cult of Roberts as the state religion.

I'm getting the same message when I edit a post or submit a thread, seems related to anything that calls the SA automatic page refresh.

Probably. What made me wary was the fact that this is seemingly only happening in SA, it's happening with everything that has to do with actually posting in SA (as opposed to just reading) and that it came in the heels of a DDOS.

When I look at the gameplay, I see seamless transitions from one system to the next, and adaptive multiplayer on a large scale. That's impressive tech as someone who has worked with the CryEngine before. That's the thing people need to understand, they're doing crazy poo poo with a game engine that wasn't made to do any of this, no engine is made to do any of this, but they're doing a good job.

I rather like the flight model and the ARMA-esque FPS mechanics are extremely difficult to get right. Only time will tell how this ends but I can easily see them pulling something amazing out by mid 2017.

Alexander DeLarge posted:

Been playing 2.0 quite a bit and it really is quite something when it's not crashing at this rate, which I suspect will be fixed in a week or two, I think it's a really solid foundation for all the "core mechanics". Only thing I'm still skeptical about are the economic systems, if they get that right, I can say they have an extremely solid foundation for the rest of the game.

Looks amazing on a 4K monitor too.

Alexander DeLarge posted:

Is that really such a bad thing though? It was included with the caveat of "it's coming soon, but we're not going to say a specific date just to keep disappointing you"

poo poo happens in game development. I can't imagine something of this magnitude. Keep in mind that we live in a day and age where date are announced 9 months ahead of release, and then they're ALWAYS delayed. Here is a list of what I remember (and I'm not good at remembering these things)

Batman Arkham Knight
The Witcher 3
Battlefront Hardline
Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Dark Souls II
Bloodborne
Uncharted 4
Hitman
The Division
Evolve
The Order 1866
Dying Light
Mad Max

They've been within a six month period of the updated timeline, that's good enough for me. At least they're not making the same mistake over and over and over throughout development and getting people's hopes up.

So... how's SC working out for you?

That guy's primary mistake is treating CIG just like they're any other publisher who are in the business of building and selling games. Once you lose that perspective (easily done by looking at anything whatsoever that CIG has done) the laughs flow more easily. It's the same thing the gaming media is doing - giving CIG the benefit of the doubt and treating them just like any other publisher/developer, assuming their goal is to make a game, and that they have the ability to do so. Neither is true.
