Darth Marus stands, hands clasped behind him, on the command deck. He surveys the small stars of the system as it spills across the display.

So what about Watch Dogs?

Everybody bought that totally under a misrepresentation of the game itself.

It's sleazy, absolutely, and nobody likes it, and we all know Star Citizen will never be anything remotely like what they say it will be.

But I don't see this as being a big deal. I want it to be because this drama is so hilariously great, but this is kind of like the sound of a balloon deflating.
The Watch Dogs scandal was all about the graphics, correct? The pitch videos were pre-rendered/looked much better than the actual game. I don't remember Ubisoft taking a bunch of flak for showing off gameplay that wasn't possible in the game. Or did I miss something?

I'd perhaps have a bit of hope if Star Citizen biggest fault was the ships didn't look as good in game as they do in promos if there was some depth to the gameplay. As a gamer--I want a game. The graphics will always be better next year.

"So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.
And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!”
Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
Fitting to use a pyramid scheme based on a philosophy that was fairly progressive 2000 years ago. It has been rendered obsolete by modern scientific understanding largely due to its inability to resolve its inconsistencies through intelligently-applied critical thinking. It now serves as a means of deterring social and political advancement and as a tax on the gullible.

Agreed. I actually hope if/when this collapses that someone (hey Derek) buys the content rights, because TBH the artists have done a dang good job on many of the ships and assets given their guidelines. It's just that the helm has lost sight of the shore. Someone that actually knew how to manage a project could use the assets easily, with some rebuilding to get rid of all the extra poly overload.

They are now, mainly due to the amount of detail thrown in by Chris "make it more real" Roberts. But previously, when you could actually bring them into CryEditor and export them to apps like 3DS Max, they weren't too bad. And because you could get them that far, they should be exportable to most game engine formats. It's just all the extra crap that makes them unusable right now. Building extensive interior structures that will almost never be seen but still have to be rendered by the GPU just in case is just......dense.

People like MoMA want to mock Derek's two weeks thing not realising it was a joke about CIG's own inability to meet release dates, and that information he did give out hit so close to home CIG considers them to be acts of industrial espionage. I mean it's rough not being in on the joke but he's given you plenty of opportunities to get in on it.

But no guys, he was wrong about the ELE so everything else that was 100% correct? That's just bullshit. Let me prove this to you by looking into your court appearance history and uhhhhh hurrrrrrr belts.

Now I don't buy at face value anything anyone says about CIG here, because I don't need to see what they have to say about Star Citizen to know it's a loving mess. But when they're right, they're right, and MoMA has never been right.

That is actually a pretty good point. Derek and theAgent are so wrong, so often that CIG hired two separate investigation agencies to make sure they kept being wrong.

Derek telling everyone in the Summer of 2015 that we would never see Star Marine and that Squadron 42 was more than eighteen months away. I'm surprised CIG hasn't sued him for libel--how can Derek get away with spreading such falsehoods!

e: and in the recent Bensday thingy--did Sandi use Roberts or did the goons add that?

Like I mean everyone wants to be like CIGs artists are GREAT!!!! but they're being compared against other games which have targets that are practical and realistic. I bet a lot of designers could do poo poo on par with SC for fun any day of the week, but you don't see that because obviously it's a bit beyond contemporary game design

There's something genuinely sad about MOMA. This huge, amazing world we live in and he still feels the need to show up here and display his confidence and intelligence. Yes, we know, you were busy off in the real world drinking fine whiskeys and being a high flyer, but you still keep ending up back here, accumulating negativity and tilting at windmills.

I dunno, The weather's crap here today and I'm a bit under the weather but I really do feel a bit of sympathy for him today.

Also this thing has been going on for so long now that we're not just forums usernames spouting off at each other. You can see quite a lot of the real person at this point. Lazrin, MOMA etc, How about we just drop the Star Citizen crap and just try to get along? Nobody should care this much about a video game.

Please don't misunderstand, I agree with the sentiment. Just meant to point out that that material is pretty good, it's just how it's getting used that sux. That's what I find so funny about all the "character" studies. They look great in Mudbox, but when do you get to see them in-game-engine

MoMA isn't one of the problem children, honestly. He believes, but he's not proselytizing. It's his money, he can do what he wants with it. The ones that really need countering are the ones like Lazrin or Lethality that are willing to bend any truth in order to convince others to dump money into this.

Dude, we get it, there is no solid proof about all that stuff. But, get this... are you ready?... we don't give a poo poo! we're here to laugh at CIG and all the related idiots, which obviously includes your scotch-drinking, supermodel-banging, world-traveling, gourmet-cooking (lol), income-disposing rear end.

You know who could prove that Derek is full of poo poo beyong any doubt? Crobbers. But he won't do it because he's a very serious person who would never, ever, let Derek get under his skin.

So, until Chris proves Derek wrong I will err on the side of the tasty, tasty rumors about this piece of poo poo game. Because it is 100% beyond any doubt a piece of poo poo and the proof is the abortion of a game itself. You know, the one you were to chicken to provide a video of you having fun.

I particularly enjoyed his ironclad recipe for disaster.

But seriously if he didn't leave back when he was whinging that no one was engaging with him honestly when all he was doing was melting down on a weekly basis he's not going to do it now he's learned to just whip in, sneer at people for a bit then tumble back out rolling with the punches.

Dice the pepper. Wisk up the eggs. Drop the peppers into the eggs. Microwave the eggs for 30 seconds or so in a bowl. Flip the eggs over and give them another 30 seconds or so in the microwave. Slide the egg onto your bagel and top with the cheese while still hot. A nice quick breakfast. :)
