Combat Pretzel posted:Yeah, like that's not going to be exploited by griefers. Didn't these idiots at RSI want to implement permadeath? Yep, but then they realized how stupid that was and decided that your next character would inherit the previous character's stuff, which makes the permadeath completely pointless.

Chin posted:They're using procedural content generation so the game will produce content faster than players consume it. This is a fun post. This is peak Star Citizen because it's full of wonder and mystery and a living universe. This is why they got all the money they have. If all these things came to be, it would be an amazing game like no other.

Beet Wagon posted:Looks like we got ourselves a good old fashioned Doxxican Standoff There's always some kind of weird war going on. Even if Derek gives up everything tomorrow and retires on a sailboat, and every goon turns out to be utterly retarded and wrong constantly... Star Citizen isn't going to suddenly be good or come out anytime soon. If these guys turned up the heat under CIG instead of random people on the Internet, they might get more answers. Maybe even figure out where their open development broke. Lots of stuff. They're smart people and can surely focus their attention on what they actually want.

alf_pogs posted:it would just be a Chore Simulator. it still sounds completely boring That's also an underlying hilarious concept. That even if SC comes out exactly as pitched it'd be a hideously unfun game. Like above, you just spent $60 for TBDDSE and you undock and you're blown up and crash on the nearby planet. Now you're stuck on this planet playing poo poo-tier Minecraft for the next 20 hours while managing food and water levels. Or you finally get enough to buy a ship and it takes 3 real life weeks before enough materials are delivered to build your ship. Or you get blown up in a glitch, and have to take a space liner back to your home base to get your ship, and that takes hours to do. Even better if along the way another player blows up your liner, and you get helplessly killed while cussing in frustration. It's like the immersion animations. Sure it's cool two or three times, but after that if it takes longer than 1 second you're mashing the button to skip them. None of the above sound fun, but that's what Star Citizen is trying to be. In a world where people get pissed if loading a save game takes too long, or getting back into the action takes too many button clicks and screens, or if the last auto save checkpoint was too far back. Even the dream of Star Citizen is kinda crappy. People overlook it because everybody thinks they'll be Han Solo and never be dumb enough to be killed. They think they're going to play the heroic savior or kind benefactor or impossible to stop pirate, while avoiding these huge pitfalls. There is cognitive dissonance between looking at what CIG is implying and saying "and what will this be like to actually play?" and since nobody seems to stop dreaming about the impossible long enough, thinking the AIs will be anything more than walking on a track and doing canned animations every few steps, everybody seems to overlook that the game just sounds not fun to play. It sounds punishing. Which might be good for a Pay2Win game though. Suffer on a planet for 10 hours or pay $5 for a miraculous rescue taxi! I hope that before everything crashes and burns, Chris Roberts gets a real vertical slice working. And people play it, and tell him it's not a fun game. I just hope that the twinkle of "I am saving pc games" can be stifled in Chris' over paid eyes before he gets shut down. I don't want him to go out with a "Well we tried real hard but..." kind of thing. I want him to know that his dream was poo poo, and even people who were excited for it tells him it's boring. That closure may never happen, but it'd be good if it did. The Titanic fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Jan 16, 2017 |

Canine Blues Arooo posted:This is impossible. You cannot strand players on planets without some failsafe (NPC comes to rescue you and take you to the nearest 'capital city' for 50% of your cash). That's such an unbelievably bad idea to even suggest that it makes my head hurt. Even with failsafes in place, to make it not feel like a binary, 'I have a backup plan' vs 'guess I'm waiting until that NPC shows up...' is really difficult. There'd have to be an incentive to go rescue players and if there is an incentive, then there's an economy, and if there is an economy, then down the rabbit hole we go... Isn't Elite like that? You run out of fuel or something and your only options are suicide or someone brings you some mana.

Yes it is, and its a game mechanic cause its mainly your fault for 1) not looking at the star type you're dropping out with 2) didn't bring a fuel scoop 3) being a noob. Also the parpcorn lately is delicious. Keep it up, thread.

Chin posted:Re: NPCs ejecting from ships, they're working on changing from having separate ship AI and FPS AI to having the FPS AI controlling the guy controlling the ship. There will be cowardice values that might result in premature ejections or a brave AI commando trying to take an enemy down with him. This will play into you choosing your wingmen and crew management. A potential crewman might be an alcoholic and have blackouts during fights.

This is something I have been thinking about more and more lately. They want it to be this big freeform open world thing. These people would quickly learn that if you are sort of a doormat in real life, you will continue to be a doormat in this fantasy land too. They are honestly the sort of person who should stick to single player RPG's.

The German magazine omits Subsumption AI from the list of 3.0 features (its a pretty big omission if they list object streaming and lockable doors, but not subsumption). Since it's the latest list, I guess it means it's not coming in 3.0... Tokamak fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Jan 16, 2017 |
