This is why I went to Citcon in 2014. I barely watched the presentation. I was too busy getting free drinks and laughing from the balcony level.

It was a safari and really entertaining. 5/5 would go again (this time with room spray, not even kidding).

That actually sounds fun. I also would enjoy drinking on a balcony and mocking the herd below. Of course as a man, I would be buying all my own drinks. Waaaaah.

with broken maps

with bad, bad lag

with no classes

with a really bad UI

with really bad cover mechanics

with really terrible bugs

with no vehicles because they can't make that poo poo work

with small, tight maps that aren't balanced

with no weapon balancing

with no idea how anything is supposed to work

roberts, release the 2.6

So, basically, a normal CIG release then.

Once they get several NPC clones sitting down at a mess hall table and only slightly clipping through each other figured out I'm sure simulating bustling space-age metropolises will come very quickly.

I'm asking for a refund if the janitor, mop, and bucket do not bounce around realistically when they are getting attacked.
And they better have mo-capped being sucked out into space due to explosive decompression.
And goto the toilet twice a day.
And gently caress.

It is indeed the dumbest thing they could do.

That's why they are 100% likely going to do it.

With all the lies and overhype, they've effectively painted themselves into a corner. They pretty well have to release something, no matter how pathetic, by the end of the year.

Hey, can anyone help me get a refund on Battlefield 1 so I can get Star Marine instead?

Battlefield is like a flat B game compared to Christ Roberts Star Marine AAAAAAA+ game.

That helmet flip is the literal high point of the star shitizen project. Back then, Derek was still a backer, shitizens cheered during their presentations and most people thought crapplets was actually making a game to be released on time. Cribiblebops just wants to remember the good times. He has so few of them.

Wait, wait, wait...

I know i'm a little slow, but...
People were cheering for the helmet flip *unironically*?

I thought it was because the game kept crashing and kept being restarted and kept playing the same stupid helmet flip animation.

As if CIG could deliver a vertical slice. More like a diagonal cut close to the border of the cake where you mostly get frosting.

$1000 frosting that can barely fly.

The reason CIG can't deliver a vertical slice is because Ben keeps eating them every time.

I love how CIG has created an elitist caste within the community, and now reinforces how awesome that elitist caste is for all the have-nots. Nothing builds resentment like letting people know that they aren't special enough to get the good stuff.

So, when I was in high school, we had to watch a movie about those experiments where the teacher showed how people could have possibly supported the Nazi party. You know, the one where the kids go from zero to Lord of the Flies in the space of about for days?

Anyway, there is a scene in this movie where a dumpy looser, a real sperg, stands in front of his mirror at home and salutes himself with his armband or whatever insignia the teacher used. When this happened or whole class laughed and laughed because we were immature kids* and he was a real sperg.

In any case, this is the exact scene I remember when I think of the remaining crop that CIG is nurturing.**

I know what you're talking about, it's a real movie based on a book. The book was something I'd read back in high school and was pretty much exactly as you described.

i'm pretty sure gorf did a big write-up on it at one point but when it comes to comparing a game to star citizen the only one that has been in an analogous position would be daikatana. wildly ambitious (for the time), spastically bloated budget, 'visionary' director with an impossible ego and no oversight publicly announcing impossible timeframes (originally slated to finish in 7 months), brand new company (it takes ages to build a company!), troubled development, insane rumors about impropriety and dev discontent etc. it's pretty much daikatana 2 only somehow on track to be even more of a failure.

At this point it really is a process of hyping something as coming, but when it looks like it's not coming out because of all the reasons nothing comes out in this crazy as gently caress shell game, they drag something else out and obfuscate and not talk about the previous thing. Then the release frame they said was coming for the new thing gets close, they stop talking about it but hey check out new thing!

Intersperse that with ship sales. That's the Star Citizen experience at this point. The backers are happy with this because they don't want to admit it's a clusterfuck, but the fatigue is setting in and the windows of hype-to-FUD are getting smaller.

STANDING ON STRUT ROOF SECTION AT PORT OLISAR RENDERS BODY INVISIBLE

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1 EVA to roof of a Strut (any strut) at port olisar
2 jump down or land at the marked area in the picture
3 notice assets (guns), ammo, helmet) remain but body disappears, when you jump your body reappears

ACTUAL RESULT
While running around on a Port Olisar strut roof, there is a section which has artificial gravity and when you run into the affect area your body disappears leaving only item assets (guns, ammo, helmet) visible. This is also not armour specific.

EXPECTED RESULT
Expect your body to not disappear, possibly floor position problem causing glitch.

Seriously though TheAgent, if it's as bad as you describe I can't imagine them releasing it. I mean, I expect that the remaining backers would gladly be poo poo on and ask for more. But SM being that broken, after it's been weeks not months for the last year is going to wake up at least a few people.

Not a huge amount mind you, but I can't see it as a positive.

I don't think you have actually played current, or even seen pgabz vids at least?

Current is shite and CIG didn't bat an eyelid a year ago to drop that 2.0 shite.

Why do you think it will hesitate this time? The Brown Sea swallows all.

After being the gaming community laughing stock for more than a year with all time favorites such as "weeks, not months" and "it's already in the game, I am annoyed if you ask" (thanks G0rf, where is G0rf?) there is zero chances SM will not drop this year. If it is true QA has "a build" of some kind for it, it will drop no matter what before year end.

At this point it's obvious that Roberts isn't selling a game anymore so much as he's selling time. He's making GBS threads himself knowing that like Derek said the game as pitched will never be possible and he's built on impossibly broken code that is going to take years to get working even a tenth of what he originally pitched. He's selling time for himself with all the refactoring and introducing new ships and randomly breaking down new employees with vague statements saying things need fixed. He's hosed and working on a way to get out of it with the least amount of damage to his own ego. The game has probably been second to ego preservation for quite some time now.
