Someone forgot about Transverse...

Space game similar to Star Citizen with stretch goals like:

Fly in space.

Shoot a weapon in space.

And it went uphill from there. They tried to duplicate Star Citizens crazy money train, but due to their last game being Mechwarrior Online, they were mocked off the planet. They also said yes to everything, including people's requests for characters.

Meanwhile Braben continued to build Elite, and Chris Roberts continued to make promises never to be upheld for Star Citizen.

Also similar to this is Illfonics game about Chuthulu. It was basically cyber sex the game, set in a medieval world of crap. They sold houses for ridiculous money. Also shuttered.

My daughter was brought into this world via C-section after 36 hours of labor. We woke up, my wife got prepped, I walk into the OR to see the OB rummaging through her abdomen like she's lost her car keys, and then a little blue ball of nonresponsive flesh gets pulled out. My brain immediately goes "oh gently caress she's dead" and then she starts screaming, at which point I immediately think "oh gently caress I'm a father". Next thing I know she's grabbing my finger while letting the world know that she was PERFECTLY HAPPY where she was and there was no need for anything to change.

18 months later she's walking, talking, being cute as hell, and I'm still figuring out WTF I'm supposed to do.

Nice!

The blatantly false advertising "Review" now has a solitary comment to peruse:


Totally legit happy customer post and totally honestly not one of CIG's marketing drones.

You know, I'm gonna hashtag disagree here. The strongest argument against Star Citizen is playing it for 5 minutes.

Prolly why Derek tweets when they do free fly weekends - let people see this poo poo heap for themselves.

Every time they've "iterated" on the flight model it becomes worse and worse. Also is there space in this game? I've forgotten what it's like to not noclip through space.

Illfonic blamed their sudden departure from CIG for the reason their nonconsential-sex-simulator-in-mideval-shacks game bombed. Who is CIG going to blame? Derek Smart? The backers who just dared to dream?

they do seem to have a lot of backend stuff up and working, mostly tech related

but that doesn't mean poo poo when your animations are hosed, your mocap work needs to be redone, your models are constantly being refactored, the FPS don't work, the AI don't work, everythings just goddamn broke

so its great you can show chris a planet you just made in a week and it looks pretty great but ruh oh

chris just said he wants this huge ship to fly right over you, guns barred about to fire and he wants to see the NPC actually driving the thing

not that the ship will just be its own AI thing and fly around and theres some model in the cockpit

NO

he wants the NPC to fly the ship and know how to fly the ship and where the player is and wants the NPC to be able to fire at the player but if the NPCs ship is damaged he wants the NPC to eject and call in support and then scramble for cover in the debris of the ship to suppress the player until the NPC backup arrives

imagine having to code that poo poo
