Saint Drogo posted:A 4k+ investment in Eating Microwave Dinners Alone simulator A sperg's dream.  I mean I can understand games like Cooking Mama (I've even bought a couple) because it's sort of fun and there's no mess to clean up. But to want to simulate every single minute detail of every day life like opening drawers and using microwaves is just loving insane. Must be some sort of autistic thing, I can't think of anyone who'd legitimately find that fun or entertaining unless they had a mental disorder. edit: and I've done that poo poo in games like Trespasser, and IT IS NOT FUN AT ALL.

I think these cultists (well, to be fair hopefully just some of them) want some sort of fully functional virtual world where literally everything is simulated and possible. Every hatch, drawer, door, anything on their ships can be opened and explored and contain realistic contents that can be sifted through and examined further. Every screw and bolt can be taken out and you can dismantle your ship and repair/upgrade every diode and circuit. Travelling in your ship is all done in real time at accurate real life speed (ie: it would take weeks to reach anywhere) and this is time they want to spend cleaning their ship, eating meals (that they have to cook) with their crew mates (NPC or real), engage in conversation with them (which can lead to new missions or branching dialog, very deep RPG stuff), arrange their cargo, browse reddit from their space ship with an awesome in game/in ship web browser, etc. etc.. It's just mind boggling. They just want to escape their lovely lives and live in this game (that doesn't exist) full time and not do anything else. Crazy stuff. edit: in fact I'm surprised they didn't complain that going up the stairs, getting in the cockpit, and putting on the helmet is one animation instead of pressing some sort of button for each ladder step (or better yet a mini game?), then choosing if they want to put their helmet on or not, and then choose whether or not to close the canopy. Someone should put a vote poll up to settle this matter. edit again: Toops you should do it like that for your game. Each step requires a new button press, then you have to press a button to close the canopy, then a button to don your space helmet, a button to turn the key for space ignition, etc. KiddieGrinder fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Jul 7, 2016 |

Have you people seriously never heard of this? I grew up in Romania and my mom used to make the bombest loving meatballs using minced meat, egg, flour, and breadcrumbs (plus a bunch of spices and veggies worked into the meat itself). They don't even begin to compare to your savage-rear end meatball marinara bullshit. I can't see why that would be any different for hamburgers, tbh. nice meltdown It's really simple: breadcrumbs in meatballs = good and yes breadcrumbs in hamburgers = bad and no

AP posted:https://twitter.com/Adam_Levy/status/731150395184156672 I know we joke a lot but this is pretty blatant. I'm not sure how any backers still see this as a "BACKERS VERSUS GOONS" ulterior motives contest where Derek Smart somehow tries to sabotage the blahblah and we are complicit. Purely objectively, with no outlandish claims based on conjecture from this thread or anywhere else - They shot at the worlds most expensive studio (Imaginarium) already once - In response to the first Imaginarium experience they built four(!) of their own motion capture studios - They are now confirmed to be back at the Imaginarium for a second shoot - They are talking about multiple re-shoots of the motion capture footage, even before the second Imaginarium trip - Squadron 42 is going to be their first released product - They have received almost 60x their original Kickstarter budget, or 6x their "This is the amount we hope to have for a complete game" budget - They are years behind their release date - They are still doing basic, non gameplay elements of Squadron 42 as recently as Today Now the conjecture from this thread - Personally it seems Chris Roberts only ever speaks with confidence / energy about Squadron 42 - Personally I watch Chris Roberts stammer and confusedly try and answer questions about Star Citizen while getting irritated when asked about things like Star Marine - Insiders reported months ago that motion capture was "twelve times over budget" - Insiders reported that the footage was captured badly and would need to be re-shot due to rigging issues - Rigging issues had delayed the footage by months due to multiple complete re-riggings - People who knew people at the Imaginarium said it costs $20,000,000 to even get in the door (Which is now doubled? Or do they get a discount for coming back?) - Insiders reported that the script+footage was so bad that nobody wanted to even make trailers out of it (no footage exists of the game they are prioritizing) It's pretty obvious the guy with failed movie making aspirations is taking everyone for a ride, but they refuse to believe it. I don't even see how it's even an argument at this point. Even if you ignore everything Atxsperg / Eightace / Derek have ever said, you still have everything CIG themselves have said. When Roberts dropped that huge script on the stage and talked about all of the actors they were hiring people should have been "Wait, What?" and started asking questions. Much less after years of constant motion capture, much less after building four of their own studios, much less after re-shoots, much less after a second imaginarium trip. And you know what I didn't even talk about? loving Star Citizen the game everyone paid for. How is it not obvious they are only working on the movie game because Chris Roberts wants to direct? How obvious does this have to be? I mean seriously. All joking aside. How obvious does this have to be to people? Who looks at all of that and shovels $300-$50,000 down on more ships? Why do they have a single dollar coming in? Why is MoMA talking about buying yet another concept that wouldn't be in the game, if it ever existed, for years from today? Even if you ignore everything in this post, how can you ignore that Squadron 42 was already promised to the majority of backers for free, so it's a huge money sink that does nothing but take development time away from the game you bought because most of it's target market already is entitled to it.

Fat Shat Sings posted:
This is the beauty of Chris Roberts' plan. Remember that SQ42 is only the very first chapter of his poo poo saga. IF SQ42 releases, Chris will immediately begin working on the next chapter, using Star Citizen ship sales as cash to fuel the development engine. There will be vague assurances that the tech for SQ42 will somehow enhance the PTU, but in practice it'll work about as well as it does today, if that. It's even worse than that - Chris has made absolutely sure that the SQ42 "directing" dream never has to end. I follow this fairly closely, and even I've lost track of how many chapters and parts he's decided SQ42 will be made up of. He's attempting to set himself up as the brainchild and "director" of a franchise, not fully grasping that he's not talented enough to direct, not inventive enough to create a compelling IP, and not intelligent enough to see any of it through on a technical level. This guy thinks he's creating the next Star Wars, and he's said as much. The thing I really appreciate about Chris is that he's completely changed my perspective on tons of other people that I used to disparage. I used to think John Romero was a tool. I still think that, but he was a tool who used his own money, and at least kept focus on the game he wanted to make, even if it was hot garbage in the end. Think of all the poo poo George Lucas got for the prequels - epic levels of poo poo from every direction. Doesn't seem so bad now, does it? You don't like the new stuff, don't loving watch it. He wanted to make some new poo poo, it's his IP, he's paying for it, let him gently caress around in his playground. But Chris - this piece of poo poo is a staggeringly inept next-level troll who stole over $100 million dollars by saying he was going to make X, then, in full view of the people he robbed, makes Y. And they thank him for it, even going so far as to defend the man who lied to them.

I'm fully prepared to take that plunge. The hardest part will be separating the truly cringeworthy from the mundane. For every hour of cutscenes, I suspect that 55 minutes will be just dull and derivative, and the other 5 minutes will be solid meme material. At least we can count on Chris to deliver the most important product: laughs.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:I just realized something. I could write and perform a Bishop-style speech better than Chris Roberts directing Gary Oldman There's a lot of truth to this. The thing is, most of the people who are better than Chris Roberts (re: all the people) have something called "self-awareness", which makes them think about the ideas they have, and whether or not they're good enough to go out there and make a movie out of them. Chris does not have self-awareness, so we get to watch his movie instead of the infinite number of much better movies that could be made by anyone who isn't Chris Roberts. Makes you wonder how much of the poo poo that's out there, music/film/etc., could be so much better - it's just that only the self-unaware had the propensity to just make it and put it out there for the rest of us to suffer through.

alf_pogs posted:hahahaha guys that poo poo is neeeeever coming out I think both SC and S42 will come out eventually. Well, that depends on what you mean by coming out I suppose. S42 will release, be poo poo, and flop terribly for obvious reasons. Additional chapters will not come out. SC is something I expect to be shuffled out the door embarrassingly and with minimum fanfare. CIG knows it's poo poo, will always be poo poo, but are obligated to have something out there to stop whatever disastrous consequences can come for not releasing. There will come a point where to put it off any longer will be more negative than positive, just hopefully with as little media coverage as possible.

Additional chapters will not come out. From CIG's perspective, SC is out right now. When they're pushed to their last throw, CIG will give the current incarnation (or whatever incarnation is out there) a new release number, and call it done.
