"What could only be described as streaming amateur hour, the stream was extremely cringeworthy. Not only was the audio either not working or out of sync for much of the stream, but the whole first part was simply terrible. The commentary over the 2.6 gameplay in the first section was embarrassing, and why anyone would want to watch the devs challenge each other on the race tracks for a large chunk of the stream is a mystery."

Remember when they sold a $2000 ship that can carry 70 players and each will play a separate role and this was all part of a massive MMO and people said yup that's possible?

And then someone was like but I don't have 70 friends? and they said well you can fill it with 69 completely autonomous NPCs that will behave exactly like humans to a degree where you cannot even tell, and people said yup that sounds good?

Some of the smarter people asked 'hey man how is that possible?' and the answer was 'it's Chris Roberts!'.

I remember, just lol man.

Reflecting about both yesterday's stream as well as the anniversary sale stream - in light of the 2.6 patch notes - did they actually have to restart every single client for each round of Star Marine? It would explain the strange delay between each round, especially during the anniversary stream.

Like: everybody that hasn't crashed already close the game, restart the game (maybe even the server?), reconnect, wait for admin guy to pull up the console to work some magic that it is now round 2 of 4 instead of 1 of 4, rejoin lobby, go?

This all coupled with the permanent fear of crashing all the time, and having to deliver it live, while under pressure of time.

No wonder Lando looked stressed as gently caress during the anniversary stream (I mean the last part where they actually managed to "play" star marine, not the first part where the build was still compiling). Imagine having to coordinate this clusterfuck. All you can really do is gobble down half a bottle of vodka, cross your fingers, get your mind into a "gently caress all this, I'm out here next year anyway" attitude and roll with it.

1. Chris says "paaaarp" at least once during his garbled speech
2. The 2.6 is not ready for public, but they promise release in a few days (within the year). They announce a 2.6.1 build (to patch the 2.6 mess) before the 3.0, in 2017.
3. They have to reboot the server to play another Star Marine session.
4. SQ42 new trailer with "coming in 2017" in the final frames. Chat goes mental.
5. Ship sale. Another promo video with good looking footage that is nothing like anyone is playing or experiencing in the current builds.
1. I'm gonna go with: yes he did
2. Is half right. And it seems that they will be patching this pile they delivered to PTU for a long time
3. Not sure. But it seems it might be correct. The PTU 2.6 needs the clients to be restarted constantly and there a server problems, so lol.
4. Failed (really CIG? you couldn't even manage to do your marketing properly?)
5. Probably right? I skipped 95% of the stream but this was the most sure bet.

And they now (a minute before the live stream) issue a (probably not all true) statement that they decided to not focus effort on some vertical slice fake demo of SQ42 that is not going into the game (jesus christ). Which is a good thing to not do that. Except it proves that this was their tactic up to now; focusing most effort to marketing videos and fake demos, and nothing says they won't pull this again.

Just went back to reconfirm my impressions of last nights stream, and yep.

Not only did Chris Roberts state with certainty that SQ42 would be a trilogy, he said that it would be comparable to the Star Wars or Lord of the Rings trilogies. So yeah. Besides the obvious deluisions, there were no games you could compare your supposed "game" to, Chris? Went straight to movies, huh?

Is there plan to say that its delayed because of legal action from Electronic Acc-.. Arts?

More importantly whats with all these 100ms+ pings. This is thier stream, on thier local machines how is that possible?

The best part is that Croberts will finally realize that the sperg-whales are demanding an actual product, and he'll respond by declaring All Hands On Deck to create a 20-minute mo-cap fest featuring Sandi "Pusher" Gardner for SQ42, which none of the sperg-whales care about because it isn't their Second Life In Space that they've been dreaming about.

I think that call has gone out months ago, but the realization that crobberts has chased off anyone decent at CIG is just now sinking in for poor old Chris.
