That specific one is in E2. It's on top of the building that you need to go in to do that sat uplink poo poo. There's some vents/pipes on the exterior that have blood on them that you can climb up onto.

if you are going to make up a dream delusion to be your life game now then any additional mental gymnastics are just adding to the routine

I guess you can cut the guy some slack since he probably doesn't follow this thread and hasn't seen a couple dozen predictions, weeks and months in advance and probably just sees the lists backers try and do their elaborate take-downs on at some indeterminate point in the future.

So yeah to random idiot backer seeing a leak about _______ after it has happened is probably vastly different than reading the same thing two patches in advance here. Being a crazy idiot also helps.

The leak I couldn't believe was early last year which said SQ42 was delayed until 4Q 2017. Amazingly that is panning out without a hiccup and is looking like a 2018 release.

One that I'm most disappointed about is the car dealership. Guess they couldn't get the NPC working in time for the jpeg showroom.

Even when the leaks are technically wrong it actually kinda proves the leaks right.

"Hey guys, guess what CIG is doing. Some really dumb bullshit that is going to take a huge amount of time and anyone rational knows it's not going to work from Minute Zero but Chris Roberts is the boss."

(2 months later)

"Well looks like CIG has managed to release a bunch of broken and hacked together tweaks and mods. When you put all the scraps together they were obviously working on the really dumb bullshit I previously mentioned though but as usual failed at 45-65%."

Backers: Checkmate Goonailures. The leaks are wrong Because you said the really dumb bullshit was coming out not that they would fail to even make it and instead give you bits and pieces of what would be really dumb bullshit. :smug::smugdon:

I just don't see how you can be smug by CIG failing to achieve the incredibly low bar and pessimistic mocking of the leaks.

Like 75% of the time they are right and the rest of the time CIG is so bad they look even worse than the leaks presented them to be and backers are somehow smug as gently caress that the leaks are "wrong" without explaining or understanding that it's not actually always a good thing for them when a leak is not considered factually consistent.

At this point, I am thinking it is actually impossible to underestimate CIG enough to make any sort of valid prediction, frankly, and therein lies our problem.

Isn't it autism that has black and white thinking like that or some other kind of mental disorder?

We are talking about people that buy tens of thousands of dollars of spaceship pictures here but it's basically....

TheAgent says CIG will SHOW a specific type of gameplay at an event
CIG shows nothing and avoids the topic entirely
CIG weeks later shows a video where people are talking about the difficulties they had making the components that would be in that gameplay
CIG shows other videos (ATVs) with unfinished clips from what was obviously the same type of gameplay TheAgent mentioned
CIG over a period of months speaks about ongoing difficulties with things like rigging, and animation that would have stopped the gameplay being SHOWN live
TheAgent, prior to the original prediction of SHOWING gameplay also explained difficulties with production, things that could cause the exact outcome we got.

Backers see this and go

"Agent said SHOWN. It was NOT SHOWN. AGENT WRONG. LEAK WRONG."

It's a particularly strong brand of the crazy this thread was founded to mock since it's not really an arguable point but boy are a lot of people lining up to be smug as gently caress arguing with it.

A bit late, I know, but I'm going to try getting a refund on the Armada pack. I haven't followed anything remotely serious about CIG\SC since Jan 2016, I think, so coming back to an animation of a marine checking a magazine was pretty much all I expected from CIG, lol. Can't say I'm surprised at all with their same excuses. Also, I thought Star Marine was cancelled...

Again, TheAgent is wrong, so in the eyes of the backers that we mock, the project must be fine.

Keep in mind that these are the same people who wonder out loud why "the filthy company leavers" who leak information don't out themselves publicly. If you point out that going public as a whistleblower has a tendency to gently caress with your current and future career, they simply state that, clearly, its a u-problem.

Any other argument gets shouted down until it reaches to point above of "If it is so bad over there, why don't they come out and say it?" Repeat ad nauseum.


The vocals ones have created a sub-reddit against one man talking bad about a video game. They flood any site speaking positively, or not, about Star Citizen. And they honestly believe that if something was wrong with Star Citizen, be it the funding or development or anything else, they honestly believe Chris Roberts would come out and be like "Projects years away from completion, and we need 10 Million more dollars, please send help!"

And everyone entitled to it is still waiting on their financial report that details exactly where all the money is and how it was spent...

Star Marine was a game mode, then touted as its own game, then back to game mode, cancelled, already in the game, cancelled, turned into a game mode.
