German gaming mags are much better than American mags for some reason. I'd love an English translation also.

Just my opinion. They seem to have better writers, and German anti-defamation laws mean that journalists have to actually research their subject.

The magazine exclusive jpgs is the kind of thing that will send shitizens into an uproar. Whereas $2000 ships, chronically missing deadlines, and unplayable "alpha" releases are alright.

Agent_Mothman is the epitome of shill. I sincerely think negativity about star citizen causes him physical pain.

Not to mention, given his username, probably wears the skin of his victims.

When i talk to my friend about SC they think it is some kind of parody show or something. Honestly it is hard to tell what is real and what is sarcasm with how incompetent they are. Really layering the irony on top of the subsumption code.

TIL: Beer is a 10 year sleeper agent of the parplord Derek Smart. Why did you lie to us beer?

Beer, and goons in general being carebears is a really baffling statement. Then he threw in those other guys too. My mind is blown. I can't even make sense of the rest of that, it's completely off the rails. The AI has to handle carebears, and that did something with pathfinding, and all that misdirected crobbler from the project's goals. It's partially crobbler's fault, but only because he is too accommodating.

The common piece of misinformation is that goons were trying to have some kind of malicious influence to the project, and got mad at being rejected. I've yet to see any evidence whatsoever for that, but I understand the purpose such a claim serves. I don't even know where to begin with what that guy posted.

Dell Vostro 420 here, circa late '08. Third power supply (update), fourth GPU (update), RAM upgrades, several hard drives. Amazing piece of kit (even if the case is almost too shallow for the GTX 760.).

Yeah magazines and sites will never take a critical look at something before it releases otherwise they could lose access or advertising. That one particular german mag though has a massive croberts stiffy and just prints his hand waving ~dreams~ talk as if it is already in the game and playable.

I called the dealership he worked at over 5 years ago, and the guy I talked to didn't know who he was, and said they had nothing to do with some video game. Disproven, goonie.

"Some guy who worked here 5 years ago, space ship game. What? I don't loving know. No. Bye now."

Take your pick:
  • They messed up.
  • They switched to Lumberyard a while ago and didn't tell the backers.
  • Amazon is buying Crytek and CIG just leaked it.
  • All of above.

I think it's far more likely that "StarEngine" was nothing but smoke and mirrors, and they've been forced now to display the "Lumberyard" logo due to licensing or some such. Of course, to the shitizens it's probablyAmazon who's using CIG's brilliant, never before done engine.
