C'mon MoMA, explain away why a $140m videogame is still making GBS threads itself while a $250k game is fully simulating the effects of environmental exposure, starvation, dehydration, injury, exhaustion, and has NPC AI that involves wolves hunting in packs, bears that roam, deer that migrate...

Oh, and let's not mention that, yet again, their studio has a tiny fraction of the manpower.

C'mon MoMA.

Obviously it's because Star Citizen is trying to do so much more than that game!

It's only logical that this would result in them actually accomplishing so much less.

Or something.


Please explain to me how the quality of the assets is some how reducing the functionality of the gameplay. Is there some sort of game development vampirism going on where the artists are feeding on the life force of the gameplay developers in order to produce fidelity?

It's yet another day in the wasteland.


Usually, one would expect that the game aiming for more fidelity would see more problems, rather than the one that eschews it almost completely, so your logic isn't quite clear here.

So more fidelity means you progress further? I don't think you know what fidelity means.

quote:


the degree of exactness with which something is copied or reproduced.

Unless you mean the other meaning...

quote:


faithfulness to a person, cause, or belief, demonstrated by continuing loyalty and support.

In which case, I agree.

The thing is with Star Citizen in they are trying to do things no one else has ever done before. The scope and fidelity is unprecedented on this scale.

You know what they say, you should always shoot for the moon because if you miss, you'll end up accomplishing substantially less than someone with more reasonable expectations.

I do. You can't realistically expect all deadlines to be hit when you are literally breaking new ground, there will be issues no one could predict and some that no one even considered possible.

Just a reminder, it's absolutely not normal to spend all day every single day for months on end following people on twitter and reddit, compiling all their personal information to make injokes and callbacks. It is also morally hosed up to doxx or send death threats to people, especially if their heinous crime was liking a videogame. Thank you.

Yo guys you need to stop carefully combing videos of people you desire to murder frame by frame just to find if the button up shirt is the wrong square pattern colors or whatever obsessive minute detail you love to analyze 1000000hrs of footage for. It is really unhealthy behaviour, and makes you look like weirdos (I'm starting to think it might be more than just looks).
Please, stop doxxing people, stop jerking off to the bad spaceships, stop constantly posting through the entirety of friday nights about how much you want to assassinate with high impact weapons the wife of the bad space dev. I beg you.
