Remember when that goon posted the thread about inheriting like 100 purses and asked for help identifying them and a bunch of goons laughed at him for trying that here but then a ton of other goons started actually identifying the purses by color and designer and a bunch of goons were like uh... I... Wow that's amazing... But it was just a big ruse? I liked that thread. :(

All threads are like that. Goons know a lot of useless stuff.

Ditto.

I guess the lesson here is if you force shitizens to hang out with goons long enough they get assimilated and develop a twisted sense of humor.

EDIT: Or the truly crazy ones (like Lazrin and Karl) gently caress off to Reddit because they can't handle the cognitive dissonance.

GAMESCOM 2016 - CLOUD IMPERIUM GAMES - STAR CITIZEN PRESENTATION WITH CHRIS ROBERTS

"We invite you to join the presentation as it’s broadcast LIVE on twitch.tv/starcitizen FRIDAY 8/19 at 9pm CEST / 12pm PDT / 7pm UTC"

Please plan to join the stream. It would be great to have ALL THE GOONS in attendance live on Twitch to celebrate the latest train wreck together!

Nope, that's where Disco and the rest of the CIG staff hide out when they need to escape the insane shitizens.

Or maybe lie down on the floor and curl up into the fetal position and cry.

Ostensibly it's for "press interviews", but I think after taking one look at CIG's actual booth presence the press instead go interview actual games companies with real games to show off.

Kuparp.

What for? It'll be - at best - the same pre-rendered / pre-recorded / carefully staged crap pushed to the german mags, with a thumb-headed nincompoop twitching and writhing in the foreground. And the shitizens will herald it as the best thing ever to happen to them (broadly speaking, probably true). Even odds on Sandi resigning 'tearfully'.

vvvv Eh, I'll catch the highlights. We already did this in the last 'con.

Don't hang yourself. Get in touch with a suicide hotline if you want to off yourself over a video game.

They've got nothing. At all.

They brought over twitch shills to stream the same poo poo they've been streaming but in a six figure, badly designed, waste of convention space.

2.4 took them over 3 months and it's big add was introducing space pants. 2.5 has been in development for over 2 months and the biggest thing it will introduce is a new place to buy space pants if they can ever get the show stopping bugs fixed. So they might have it by Citizen Con.


There is no secret dev build, no progress they're waiting to spring on backers, nothing. If they had a build that was not poo poo or any new tech that worked outside of modules that will never properly integrate with the PU then this would have been the time to show it.

Kingdoms of Amalur, the MMO, was actually a separate product. Reckoning, which shipped and was pretty good as you say, was a game that Big Huge was developing when they were purchased and had the amalur license slapped on.

Are any of the cultists getting worried that they've shown literally nothing new at gamescom so far or are they all convinced that they're waiting until later in the exhibition to actually show something worth giving a poo poo about?

In the discord they're currently talking about their hopes and dreams for 2.8-3.0. So not that worried I guess. They're also adamant that there will be a whole host of reveals at gamescon still.
