in the last 2 years i never had any problems with any SC build, but 2.6.1b simply cannot load up on my system. It constantly crashes whenever i try to launch. i deleted and re-downloaded the client, veryfied and re-veryfied but nothing seems to help. (Windows 10, up to date as well as all drivers)

Personally I heard Blizzard didn't even start working on the mmo netcode until 6 months before release. Just had to layer it in.

Just just finished watching the Uncharted 4 LP, what a pretty game, and that's with a console. Makes me wonder what the future holds for graphical fidelity, and if Uncharted could be modded into a space MMO in less than 6 years.

It's not even that. If you look at it properly, most of the "start dates" are the same year that the previous title was released.

So that means Star Citizen has been in development for 14 years.

I'm not sure what's funnier, the fact that they think modeling oxygen usage and flow is a better idea than just having an oxygen meter, or the fact that people believe that's what they're actually doing.

Since you were of the latter persuasion I would say that is the funnier option.

Well, if they are dedicated to "archiving" then they should have no problem making those resources available on their "not-a-hate" sub.

:negative: yeah that's fair. I don't recall ever having an opinion on the "fully modeled bloodstream and oxygen levels" thing before I started posting here, so I'm not sure if I wasn't aware of it or if I'm blocking it out due to the overwhelming shame.

I think it's a little unfair to start the star citizen bar in 2011. It should be 2012 or arguably 2013, because most other games don't count tech demoes as development.

Wait, if you don't count tech demos as development doesn't that put Star Citizen's start date somewhere around 2018?

Hence “pre-production.”
It would arguably look even worse for SC if you hunted down those dates for all games and subtracted them… :D

I see, in that case you could also argue pre-production started somewhere in late 2010, as they worked on it for more then a year with a tiny team before they announced SQ42.

This is the best way to do Valentine's Day.

1: dumb enough to think this was a good idea
2: dumb enough actually buy it
3: tell significant other about it
4: be unable to gift it
5: try to explain you'll just have to keep it for yourself
6+: dumb enough to buy another that can be gifted because loving hell or high water you're not giving away two ships to the so!!

They're bitching about it on RSI. But some fanboys are in there saying you should have expected that as its a package, you can't split up packages to gift. Do your homework. Enjoy two of the same ship.

Not only that, but that assumes that each of those titles were the ONLY titles being processed by each studio while they were locked in death march mode, like CIG. Because places like Blizzard and Bethesda would never work on multiple titles at onc...Oh.
