The thing that gets me is look at ED I remember playing it on day 1 or maybe it was a beta , it was 99% feature complete and everything worked (as much as they had advertised was supposed to work) There were bugs like numbers being wrong or spelling errors , a few texture problems, and a big one was a station would be rotating on its axis and suddenly 'reset', meaning if you were on approach and inside the mail slot it would rotate you as well (and blow you up) thihk like what the port Ollisar rings would do , but not every 2 seconds lol That is the biggest bug I can Remember from ED , meanwhile from day 1 of SC we've had crashes, hard locks, stuff spinning off into space at 50000mph , poo poo exploding for no reason , character models going all stimpire on you Just how did they manage to cock it up so badly so quickly from day 1 Hahahaah

My Dad is a network engineer and while I was calling him (as I do often) we started talking about work. I sent him a small clip of Roberts describing the network plan for Star Citizen. First response was "this dude is stupid as gently caress". Second response was "This makes 0 sense its contradictory". Third was "This dude is selling something shady WTF". I told him a bunch of people gave him 140 million with 0 strings attached and now my Dad is dead.

Yeah, I think I picked up Elite near as soon as it was available, and was having fun in space that same day. I reinstalled it recently when I got a flight stick, but have yet to find time to just enjoy space again. A good game imo

I like how people simultaneously believe that they can't write a proper patcher but will solve the problem that games like Eve Online have had to work around since forever but in a better and infinitely scalable way.

While the Herald looks more like an angry beetle than a sleek racing ship, it’s very, very fast. In fact, Drake has designed a spacecraft that’s almost more engine than ship. Pilots report that running a Herald at full speed is a little like strapping yourself to a thruster. Unlike traditional racers, the Herald values speed over maneuverability because it’s designed to intercept, protect and transport sensitive information as effectively as possible. While producing a high-tech courier ship might seem unusual for Drake, rest assured the Herald has a place alongside the Caterpillar, Cutlass, Buccaneer and Dragonfly. Although intended for use strictly as a fast data runner ship, the extensive computer systems aboard the Herald are often adapted for darker purposes.

TheLightPurges posted:What annoys me about the whole "other games have taken a long time argument" is that it completely sidesteps the issue. The game is not done because its not defined by the developper, its defined by the funding. They have an arena dogfight game, an arena FPS game , a model viewer, a walk around game ? (Social module) and a chat app (that, given the track record of their stream and custommer service zendesk, they will ruthlessly censor) and they hope to glue the whole with an open world spaceship MMO. Worse is that this is not even the game the CEO want to make ! He just want to do an updated version of WC with better graphics. They promise whatever convince the whales to give them money, release a half-assed "module" to show progress and then move on to the next big funding event.

Its a good article about how lovely the industry treats its workers. The part that stood out as interesting to me though was the irs is looking to bust some heads..

poo poo Botch Errors Rep posted:They just have to layer the code on top of it. I am a chronic procrastinater. I am very good at my job, however, and my slacking is allowed due to my output being exceptional. I usually have to make excuses to people the first couple of times I work with them until they learn this and I will say that I'm 90% complete, I just need to do this one more little thing. Given not many people understand what I do, I can say pretty much any component of the work and they won't know to question it, so I get a chuckle out of saying a major part. Not once has my bullshit been this obvious. It honestly seems like he doesn't understand that the underlying code is the most important factor of the game playability equation. Star Citizen is the Delorean of gaming. They built a shell that they thought looked cool (it didn't) and then hastily threw together the engine and chassis with the cheapest parts, to the point where it was an undrivable death trap. E: didn't the Delorean manufacturers get done for squandering investor funds? The Rabbi T. White fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Dec 19, 2016 |

I've just learned the original Delorian speedometer only went to 85 mph, so that's basically theory confirmed.

Both of us see this poo poo from the inside, and it's fun hearing the excuses that you'd already used a decade ago coming from cig. Anyone that uses 'just' in a sentence probably isn't actually doing the work. So 'just' layering over the code is a worm grenade.

I might have missed this in the last 6000 pages of threads, but Shankerz is one of us right? Or he's paid? I mean, he has to be paid! I just cannot conceive of an existing reality in which a person this goddamn stupid exists otherwise. It's a black hole. CERN just wasted billions of dollars finding anti-matter, when all they had to do was to open up this guys skull and find plenty.
