You see the same thing in tea party types like Free Republic, they say poo poo that they know is false because they just made it up to generate outrage and inflame support. Then someone else picks it and tweaks it a little. By the end of 300 posts you have complete narrative that they all believe in because their individual contribution became diluted in the whole and 99% of it "they read on a credible site on in the internet".

This guy, the Messi_Knessi one, many others, they know that what they are saying is bullshit but it's for a good cause. After a few months hearing it repeated by others they might even start to believe it themselves. I wish I'd compiled all the statements and events they have attributed to goons/SA over the time. It would make an amazing, surreal read.

Even if you just limit it to SC related things, it would be a novel. My favorite so far is that Derek and SA were hired by EA to make Star Citizen fail because the "evil publishers" are threatened by Chris Roberts and crowd funding.

More importantly if this is an example of whats to be in SQ42....

Everybody is focused on the PU but what is really going to blow this poo poo up is when everybody sees anything from Squadron 42. Think about it, it's all so bad that even Chris is ashamed to show any of it in it's current state. I can't stop thinking just how terrible these Hollywood stars must look like in game. Sooner or later he'll have to show what he spent all that money on and it's going to be the laughing stock of the internet.

You'll be able to buy ships with alpha-UEC. I wonder if they'll fix all the exploits, such as shooting a wall to gain aUEC.

Ships will costs 4-10x more in UEC(release, not alpha) than in dollars.

How are they going to balance the price/cost adjustments between dollars/UEC with buying ships/weapons/junk flair? :shrug:

I'm surprised they haven't announced SQ42 PRelude yet. Its either not even remotely close to ready (by even CIGS standards) or they're waiting for Xmas.

That'll be a huge blow for CIG in any case. Basically anything that has be reviewed and judged outside of the "alpha" defense will murder them.

I love how those guys on r/dereksmart don't realize that when I put something in quotes I'm actually quoting someone

quote:

Why would this person express the company expenses in € and then go on to complain about working on Thanksgiving when no country that uses € celebrates Thanksgiving?
watching these guys get riled up over what amounts to someone on the internet saying "my uncle works for nintendo" is hilarious

I see this as an asked and answered post. I'm not surprised they haven't released anything. Their gravy train has been running at full steam for years by just talking about WHATS ABOUT TO HAPPEN ANY MINUTE.

Never mind that the release date has been pushed from 2015, to 2016, to 2017. Once they release their Dust514 remake on an engine built in 2009, they are going to get the review they deserve for their work. Fanboys and whales will still defend their thousands of dollars spent on the game to their wives, but this entire SQ42 BS is a distraction from the truth that their "Everything for Everyone" persistent universe isn't really possible.

I'm actually really impressed with Chris Roberts. He may not know much about game development, but he's a marketing genius. An absolute crowdfunding madman.

also since someone is nicely asking about "how did I not know about the production schedule"

I kinda did, but was told it was going to be a special 10 for the chairman thing and not a letter

TheAgent posted:

hello
  • a special video featuring the chairman will air soon (saying after thanksgiving/early december, might be sooner)
  • will discuss the progress of the game, star marine, 3.0 (internally now being called Beta), ship status, etc
  • lots of information about current systems, gameplay and VS of SQ42 "in the extremely near future"
  • sqlude "very near complete"
  • sqlude "limited but shows what amazing things [CIG] can accomplish"
  • "We're running a Fund-A-Thon." (??)
  • "many, too many" script changes within the last 18 months
  • characters changed locations/scenes leading animators to redo entire scenes by hand or totally recapping actors
  • some characters are no longer featured heavily in the game, will be regulated to side or minor parts
  • FPS scenes featuring vanduul have a "ridiculously hard time" getting into the game
  • "Chris envisioned these things [Vanduul] crouching down, skittering around tight places, viciously pursuing you. They can't even walk down a hallway at full height without getting stuck."
  • "We reworked a lot of what we were originally given. Then [Roberts] comes down, looks at it. It gets changed again, back to the original. The original doesn't work. [Roberts] comes down, looks at it, changes it back. The cycle continues."

But that is conjecture, I'm talking about things they state as facts, like FAU deleted photos of Sandi and her kids near her house, or that TheAgent claims he works at CIG. They make this poo poo up all the time about lots of stuff that they claim was said or done here as fact. That cracks me up because it's all so intellectually dishonest. I feel nothing but contempt for these people. gently caress the whales and gently caress anyone that join in and throws money in this furnace at this point.

Occasional vampire queen

Do you think maybe the redditors are mad at TheAgent because he actually seems to get leaks? I kind of get the feeling that internal sources dried up for all of the super creepy stalkfans a year or so ago, and even the cringey face to face meetings that they used to get if they paid the big bucks have ended. I could be totally wrong about that because I don't really read the sub anymore, but it fits my preconceived biases and makes me feel a little better inside so I'm going to roll with it.
