CIG would never I still find it lovely that after "pledging" for SQ42 I found that they had already planned a DLC for the non-existing vanilla game, and which later became a full episode, and a sequel to the non-existing game which later became episode 3. But you know. You throw these on the pile until you get to the point where the stink compels you to get a refund.

That will be the primary test-bed for the Stanton (?) release in 3.0. There will be multiple stations, at least one full system to traverse as well as enhanced quantum travel and flight mechanics. My notes are still pretty vague, but hey: it's more than anyone else with a "source" on this gay thread, right? Oh? Here, let me help.     It's all bullshit really; considering the stuff they ripped out of 2.6 in order to "release" it in Dec 2016. So yeah, doing several 2.6.x updates leading into 3.0 is expected.

AbstractNapper posted:I guess you are right. What's more irritating to me is that they explicitly said that the gameplay was shrinking. The latest estimate I heard was that each episode was supposed to include 20 hours of gameplay. Granted that was years ago but I have no reason to think that CIG has magically decided to give people more for their money.

Unlike MOMA, I'm very happy for 3.0 dropping before mid-year. The Jesus patch will keep me too busy having fun in the 'verse, so I don't have to buy that cookie-cutter reskin of an old game called Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Two things you all NEED to know: 1) If shitizens enjoy Wing Commander: The Movie then they will enjoy the Squadron 42 story. There's no way CR can mess up unless there are actual technical issues. Lack of Co-op is a huge-rear end issue in this day and age, lack of VR a little bit less so. 2) I could be walking around naked with a raging boner and have a history of making a living posting pictures online of me doing so, it still doesn't give a woman the right to grab it and start stroking it simply because it's there. Just because you perceive somebody is "asking for it" doesn't mean that perception is reality. Since a lot of modern men have trouble with this, a good rule of thumb is to just wait for the third date. Maybe try kissing her on the second date if she is touching you a lot and laughs at your jokes. EVEN if they were dating or married, it's still unprofessional to be doing PDA Amarcarts fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Jan 3, 2017 |

Sillybones posted:I loving beat you with all this news. Look above. Don't rehash poo poo. Nice try. 10/31/2016 http://dereksmart.com/forums/topic/star-citizen-musings/#post-4746 quote:So with all the actions that CIG/RSI have taken in their on-going desperate cash grab, it’s clear to see how easy it would be for them to go back on the statements and promises that the project would remain a PC exclusive. It’s the natural progression of things. But here’s the thing, as I’ve written (1, 2, 3) extensively about Squadron 42 in my blogs, not only did they walk back various promises for that game, but they also split it earlier this year into a separate purchase in order to yield more money. Given that, as well as the history and the desperate need to keep raising money – especially now that it has been made clear that by the 4.0 release (slated for end of 2017), Star Citizen won’t even be 50% complete – it makes perfect sense that they would want to release SQ42 on consoles in order to make some money on that platform. Just like Elite Dangerous did, when they released it via the XBox Preview program, Microsoft’s equivalent of Early Access on the PC. 12/27/2016 http://dereksmart.com/2016/12/star-citizen-irreconcilable-differences/ quote:All of a sudden, those rumors of an inevitable console port aren’t looking so far-fetched now after all, are they? Your move.

his nibs posted:I'd like to think Jared has started to write his memoirs Is there a way to fund this? I'm being serious. I'd throw down a 20 for a completely honest interview/book. We could all submit the questions we'd like answered, the mods (beer, beet) could winnow out the best ones, and Jared must answer them fully to get the pot o' money. Or hell, he could start a kickstarter for the tell all (it could just be a long blog post and save him the money/time of printing) with the amount of money he'd want to spill the beans. Or any CIG employee if Jared doesn't want money.

You can be sued, but that only works if you have money to be sued for. And apparently juries don't really like companies that go after employees. I'm sure NDAs are somewhat enforcable, but it seems they're mostly a scare tactic. Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Not everyone signs a NDA when they leave. Probably true too.
