Bubbacub posted:I still think it's funny that people are writing fan fiction of what they imagine playing the game will be like. I popped the hatch and exited my hornet using the immersion ladder. My ship showed only as a door hovering in the air. The fuselage, landing gear, guns, and cockpit were invisible. I opened my load screen to buy another hornet, but that one dropped down sideways. It Janked and Jiggered about. I went to the bunks to get some racktime. When I arrived I noticed another commando in front of me. As I went to take off my boots, my head got stuck inside the commando's rear end. "What a bother", I said into the muffled behind of another finely crafted comrade. It was at that moment that I fell through the floor again. Naked and alone, floating through the space below Port Olisar. All was as it always is in the Alpha.

The only reaction needed to "they laughed at the Wright Brothers" is the Carl Sagan quote "The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown." The only reaction needed to MoMA is "gently caress off, shitehawk."

It'll be tough with the roughly 5 minutes of IMMERSION animations of your character putting down his chopsticks next to his noodle bowl, standing up from the chair and blotting his mouth with the napkin, etc.

There's this hypothesis that cats bring home small animals in an attempt to teach dem stoopid hugh-mons how to hunt properly, treating them the same as any other kitten in desperate need of learning how to catte properly. I think that cat is trying to send a completely different message…

At least Wesha is consistently stupid. Not only does he drop $40,000 on a space game but he is completely unable to understand his own comparisons. The Wright Brothers analogy would apply if they had taken up money for investors for the better part of a decade, built a gigantic mansion, travelled the world and constantly sold more and more people more and more complex airplanes without ever actually building anything in the first place. After 5 years and some ridiculous amount of 1900s money (1,000,000) they start demoing those weird old airplanes that just fell apart as soon as they tried to take off, still selling the promised perfect airplane to people, still taking in money, still travelling the world. Approaching ten years the Wright Brothers have now billed a heavier than air flight machine that can travel the entire world with no fuel, fly into outer space, hold weaponry for fighting wars, deliver babies perfectly and cleanly, somehow research and cure disease in the upper atmosphere and literally suck your dick, while they still show off a steady stream of exploding aircraft that fall apart at the seams while taking in a never ending amount of money and outputting a never ending amount of promises. It's almost like these two things are so not alike that only a loving idiot that is desperate to justify spending $40,000 on a scam would try and compare them.

They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown." Also, they laughed at Columbus because it was fairly well-established that he was wrong and he had some pretty silly ideas about the planet. In the end, he sure proved the detractors right.

Criticizing Crobbits isn't looking at the Wright Brothers and telling them they're never going to get off the ground. It's looking at someone flapping his arms and farting vigorously and telling him he's never going to get off the ground.

orcinus posted:70 meters and customs. Why do you need to go through customs if you are leaving? Do they have some special thing they want to make sure no one takes off from the planet with? Isn't the customs guy going to be running for the shelter that's 25 meters away? So even if there was a reverse customs, it would be unmanned? Why is the lady next to you get deskeletonfied by some beam ray but the Vandull(sp?) are still minutes away? Why are the Vandull deskeletonfieing people? Are they work for the Fourth Stimpire?

Sunswipe posted:At least Columbus was an accidental success. I don't think Croberts is going to tumble dick-first into making a great game. True enough. He managed to do that once (for certain values of “great”), and it's pretty clear that this was more a lucky accident than anything. The odds of him taking the same fortuitous tumble twice are… less than spectacular.

so am i right in assuming that a large amount of the $115 million for this game went to allowing chris roberts to hang out with hollywood actors while they uninspiringly recited their lines for a some videogame their manager roped them into instead of just getting actual voice acting talent for 10% the cost

That doesn't include the actors salaries, the 4 mocap studios Chris Roberts made after that or all of the re-shoots they are still doing to this day. The problem is nobody knows how much exactly, so backers are free to be delusional because there are no concrete numbers proving that Chris Roberts has spent something like half the entire budget on his retarded failed movie fantasies.

The odds of him taking the same fortuitous tumble twice are… less than spectacular. From what I gather (I was a filthy console-gaming peasant at the time) he was lucky in a lot of ways. He got some good people working with him, he was lucky that Origin were willing to keep spending money on the project, he was lucky that Origin let him make a sequel given that the first game didn't make a profit, and he was lucky that enough gamers were willing to buy games that often required expensive hardware upgrades. I don't think he's going to get that lucky again.

hardycore posted:Then SHOW US. With funding trending down, media turning hostile, dissension even in formerly 'safe spaces' like reddit, why on earth would they hold back? Funding trending? Yeah - I don't take a little web tracker to be indicative of true-to-life earnings. Then again, I can't offer defense for CIG if they won't show anything. I can only hope and wait with the rest of the backers that something significant will be shown this year.

Achamp posted:If that were true, the release date isn't even the problem. The game is the problem. Others have already pointed out that the game is currently a generic-looking, buggy, steaming turd. Not only that, it's a tiny pinched loaf version of a turd that's still pushing on the insides of Ben Lesnick's stretched rectum. Yes - I don't disagree. I want to believe that there is a significant amount of work done that just hasn't been shown. What we see in PU can't be indicative of all this other work they say they're doing over in the UK (on the backend).

If you want to believe that the talent is making more progress than management is revealing, then that's your prerogative. Out of curiosity, what do you think your personal breaking point is - the point where you go "oh, poo poo..."

Toast, this new "version" of you lacks that je ne sais quoi that made telling you to gently caress off so rewarding. This decaffeinated-MoMA schtick is boring. Having said that, why wouldn't what we see in the PU be indicative of all this other work they said they're doing? Do you think they both somehow produced an unestable, janky, boring piece of poo poo taht they update every two months or so and something actually decent but that they choose to show the crap? Is that what you actually believe? gently caress off toast.
