Starting at that wheelchair-bound retard's threat assessment of D_Smart, how many times have Star Citizens said people were psychopaths for not liking a videogame?

whole thread is a beauty.

I really can't understand how loving stupid CIG is. None of these spergs are complaining about the lack of game mechanics, the hilarious glitches, the fact that there's absolutely no content, the poo poo performance, and all the other failings of this project.

They get up in arms when CIG fucks up their concept sales.

All they have do is NOT gently caress UP the ships, which I would think would be a huge loving deal for them, seeing as that's how they keep pumping the whales. Yet, they can't even do that right. Honestly, if you're going for the long con, at least don't gently caress up your one revenue stream.

The funny thing is that the really perverse angle to the �must prove SA wrong�-theme that is going on at the moment is that, if they did the sensible thing as you suggest, then that would prove SA right in the (somewhat) common belief that CIG is just in it to sell jpegs.

Honestly, the fact that they gently caress up their ship sales on the regular (and the ships in general) proves they aren't a scam. If they were a scam, you'd have everything you would have now except the ships would be beautiful and amazing eye candy and you would never ever gently caress up a sale. Some might never be flyable but others would, just enough to tease people to buy. The fact that they can't manage this makes it obvious (and sad). A long long time ago I said all they needed to do was not gently caress up the ships and they could keep this poo poo up for years. That's all they needed to be good on. But they can't even do that. If it were a scam, backers would actually have successful concept sales with the same amount of content.

Star Citizen is so bad that the people who back it would be better off if Chris Roberts were actually scamming them than actually trying. That's how bad Star Citizen is. And :lol:

at anyone who thinks people will be blown away by SQ42. SQ42 will be gaming's 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' except for like 100 Million and with less imagination and more pathetic. Roberts will have a mental breakdown and scream at anyone who doesn't understand his 'vision' and then start calling all his backers cunts before he disappears off the internet. And then Derek Smart will be laughing. Laughing forever.

I just picture people that make arguments like this as portly older men who look friendly, but are really bitter about anything that doesn't agree with their views.

You don't have to be a game developer to see that this thing has gone off the rails long ago.

All these defenders are wearing the rosiest of rose colored glasses.

To quote Bojack Horseman: You know, it's funny; when you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.

I've seen a few RSI posters complain about kids these days. It was kind of sad and pathetic to witness.

Yup. Contrary to popular belief, gas giants have solid cores.

This is true. They actually slowly get more and more dense as you descend closer to the core. So it would almost be like falling through gelatin and by the time you hit "solid" you're pretty much going to be permanently stuck.

This is exactly why it's a good idea to build flying platforms over it. Because anything that accidentally drops will be gone forever. None of that "pick it up off the ground" nonsense like those crappy hard-planet dwellers have. That's for the space poors who just can't afford to buy something new when the thing they already have just falls off the side into murky oblivion. Pretty much perfectly encapsulates the Star Citizen motto of "Well just buy another one!"

Brazilianpeanutwar posted:

THIS QUOTE TAKEN WHOLESALE FROM HERE : http://forums.mmorpg.com/discussion/comment/6899616/#Comment_6899616 Which was linked by another goon a few pages back, sorry forgot who it was.

Why did you bring up Smart? No one was talking about him, no one cares about his games. Why are you so insistent on comparing SC to such bad games? Do you expect SC to be just as bad? Why are you so obsessed with Smart?

You nailed it in your question... They're obsessed. He's their ultimate go-to scape-goat for everything. He is the answer to every and any problem that arises, or will arise, with SC. They can't not bring him up, even when the subject has absolutely zero to do with DS.

The position of SC fans is this crazy paradox when it comes to Smart.
On one hand, they say Smart's a know-nothing, has-been developer who doesn't know what he's talking about, etc.
Until some bad news crops up with SC. Then suddenly, the SC faithful somehow find a way to attribute it to Derek.

Hell, I've read articles about SC where Smart isn't even *mentioned*, nor even referred to. Somehow, within the first 2 or 3 comments, people are bringing his name up to dismiss the entire article anyway.

They are absolutely obsessed with the guy.

Here's something else to consider.

Both LoD and SC are described, by their respective developers, to be in Alpha stage at this point.

Yet, ever notice how, when you point out problems in SC - a game with a budget of over 100 million in backer funding, a huge team, spread across multiple offices encompassing multiple companies... they'll immediately argue "It's Alpha! It's not finished yet! Of course there's going to be bugs! Be patient!" Doesn't matter how big the problem may be... simply saying "It's Alpha!" explains away everything.

Yet, let those same people see even a *slight* bug or glitch in LoD - a game developed by a far smaller team (IIRC, no more than 23 people at most at one point), and self-funded (no backers, no investors, no time-limited sales of jpeg ships) on a small fraction of the budget, and suddenly, saying "it's Alpha" doesn't matter. Those same people will say "No. That doesn't excuse it. There's no excuse why this game is still in this condition".

Go look at any of a number of YT vids where people are playing SC and running into some crazy bugs. SC fans will immediately fall all over themselves trying to excuse it away, in some cases, blaming the poster for it. And, of course, it's almost guaranteed some of them are going to invariably bring up Derek Smart.

The hypocrisy, the double-standards, the spin, the deflections, the denial, the cognitive dissonance, the sheer nonsense that comes from many of the SC faithful is amazing to witness.

Another case in point, if there's one thing you could never accuse Derek of being, it's shy with his opinions, or not saying exactly what he thinks, loudly, un-apologetically, and typically, at length. Derek has explained his whole deal with SC numerous times, in articles, in blogs, in interviews, etc. He's explained *exactly* what his issues are with SC, and *exactly* what bothers him about it, and *exactly* what he's wanted to see from the start. He's stated it, re-stated it and then stated it again.

But, will you ever hear any of his *actual* position accurately represented by any of the SC fans? Nope. Not even close. I don't even think most of them know what his actual position is. They're too busy making up their own version of it to be bothered. Intellectual honesty doesn't seem very important to many of them.

If you are at all interested in hearing Derek's take on this, and you genuinely and honestly want to know, then go hear it from Derek himself. Don't go on what the SC fans tell you. Anything they tell you, just ignore it. Don't listen to it. Whether you're on one side, the other side, completely neutral, or just purely curious... if you want to know the actual reasons, go to the source.

Someone earlier in the suggested, or asked, if should everything come crashing down with SC, will they all blame Derek for it. That one's easy... Of course they will. 100% guaranteed. Count on it. And all the while, they'll be simultaneously calling him a know-nothing, nobody, has-been who doesn't know what he's talking about... but was somehow responsible for destroying a game he didn't have even a single line of code in.

I'm now going to sit here and see how long it takes for someone to accuse me of being Derek Smart on a fake account. That's another thing. So open are the minds of many SC fans, and so developed are their critical thinking skills, that if you so much as post anything that isn't bashing DS, you are automatically accused of being him. It's happened to me 5 times now across various sites, etc. All because someone said something about DS or LoD, and *dared* to say 'Umm.. no that's not correct. This is how it is".

An amazing slice of humanity those SC fans, I'll tell ya.

Someone needs to get this guy an account on here if he hasn't already got one.

Derek Smart alt spotted!!
