"probably" some new stuff. And letting people play the current broken crap build that you can already try on any of their free play events. Whoop-de-loving-doo.

lol they have nothing new to show. What's the bet they just play that terrible Morrow tour again.

Their artisanal code is 3D printed then hand-shaped by master coding craftsman until a game is formed.

The Kotaku comments are fantastic. As well as Derek being mentioned constantly they can't seem to agree on when exactly star citizen began development. One dude claimed it only began last year.

I'm late to the party on this, but the concentrated form of Star Citizen is this 10ftC question about ejection seats where Crobberts goes "Oh yeah no if you bought a Drake ship you get poo poo on because gently caress your ejection seats. When we get the mechanic in it'll affect the whole universe but you're gonna be sitting there with your thumb up your rear end. Suck a dick, dumbshits."

Yet that doesn't mean what he says about Star Citizen is wrong, something shitizens everywhere have repeatedly failed to understand.

Derek being a bigmouth with an ego doesn't make star citizen good. Game is still bad and chris robots is still a mushmouthed hack waving his hands around while promising procedural birds and space news vans.

Been calling this shite since 2013, couldn't give much of a monkeys' if Derek agrees or not, to be perfectly honest. I think I prefer an internet warlord wanting all eyes on him at any cost, to a pointless hack wanting 115 million and all eyes on him at your own cost.

Given he has been talking about this for a year, gaming press suddenly giving each other credit for it is a bit lovely. As you've only mentioned credit and not the content of the article I assume you are admitting that DEREK SMART IS RIGHT?

If it is that obvious, why hasn't there been more media coverage? Games sites love the easy, obvious articles, especially when they are going to get a lot of clicks out of it.

ACTUAL RESULT
the ship will slowly turn and slide backwards along the hangar floor even if you are not touching it
EXPECTED RESULT
the ship should stay put where it is originally spawned in if nothing pushes it from that position

ACTUAL RESULT
A sad pilot who passes through the doors
EXPECTED RESULT
A happy pilot who not passes through the doors

ACTUAL RESULT
The player can exit the airlock and enter open space without a spacesuit. The player can also EVA as normal, with jets streaming from the back of the player.
EXPECTED RESULT
Death by asphyxiation.

Just finished my walk of atonement and red the last couple of pages after my hair grew back.

Do I get this right? They plan to release Star Marine? The thing we already have but didn't know about and should stop complaining about? That was never planned as a separate module? Which was basically just an outsourced unit test?

Seriously....

If you think Derek assumes every word in this thread is the truth, even obvious jokes, turn to page 15.

If you think Derek is just passing along a masterful troll, turn to page 94.

If you have a bow and wish to use it, turn to page 115.

Any of those is equally likely. Everything out of CIG ends up being so impossible in a rational reality that I've lost the ability to discern what is real. Every one there also looks so sour that I could easily imagine they are watching something that is crushing them.

I think I have to go with it not being real, unless Derek comes in and confirms it from one of his sources.

No one here is following and worshiping DS. We (largely) agree with what he is saying and are enjoying the laughs generated by crazy backers who can't see what is going on and defend it like a religious cult.

I'm glad to see you think what DS is saying is obvious. Do you have your refund yet? Are you looking forward to this all collapsing into a complete shambles before the end of the year?
