Beet Wagon posted:Honestly I'm sorta surprised Loukanikos is pulling the votes that he is. I mean he was a rad as gently caress dog don't get me wrong, but seems kinda niche for SA to rally behind. I think CSPAM is doing a better job of spamming the "go vote, idiots" message but honestly I want to poo poo the thread up with "guys look at my dog" as little as possible cause I know there's some folks here who don't appreciate it. You are talking about a dog that was a legend. Who faced of against rows of armored police. And ate tear gas for lunch. He was a good dog and deserves votes.

That blows the entire plot. But may I present a counterpoint? Intro Video was likely cut to save CD space. Recall, this massive game shipped on a SINGLE CD, complete with a shitton of mp3 audio. I believe the intro video was pre-rendered, while the rest of the scenes were real-time. If that's correct, the video woud be the first thing to get cut. defaultluser fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Mar 23, 2017 |

So, is freelancer a good game? When I was a kid a friend had wing commander 2 and I had X-Wing so I obviously was like, lol, what a piece of poo poo. From then on I have never played a CHRIS ROBERTS game, not that I am a fan of space games.

I played Wing Commander 2 before I had X-Wing or TIE Fighter so I enjoyed it at the time and still play it now and then. Of course, it's the one game in the series that Roberts had the least involvement with.

Yeah, Freelancer is definitely a fun game to play if you like the FPS-style controls. The guns are all mounted on turrets, and you control them linked, virtually targeting your foe while you fly around. The game runs fine on Windows 10, just use the No-cd executable once it's done installing. Microsoft broke the CD protection for all these old games several years ago with a Windows update,so the game will fail to launch when it can't validate the CD. defaultluser fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Mar 23, 2017 |

From then on I have never played a CHRIS ROBERTS game, not that I am a fan of space games. Let me tell you, I played the everloving poo poo out of some StarLancer and FreeLancer. Freelancer is good but when you spend enough time watching this Star Citizen clusterfuck you start to understand how some things felt "off" about the game. You have a bunch of different types of shields and weapons and loot but none of it really matters and there are quests and missions but they seem kinda incidental I guess is the best way to put it. The universe is actually interesting but you don't really get to interact with it very much at all. Something feels like it's missing. But boy do you have to navigate through multiple step communication requests to dock somewhere, and there are elaborate landing and taking off animations. Purchasing modules for your ship sends you to a ship showroom where all the modules are laid out on tables and your current ship is wheeled in. Every ship, planet and station has a Bar you go get drinks in and there are dozens of places to dock, see ship showrooms, and trade the cargo like minerals you don't need for anything else other than selling and you don't even need the money either. All of the dozens of planets, stations and capital ships are just bars you dock at. He was focused on weird details and pointless minutiae of making ship showrooms, bartenders, table cleaners, news networks, drinking animations that he forgot to actually make these places places. They exist as collections of the details he thought was important and sacrificed everything else to make. It totally makes sense why they had to kick him off the project and FreeLancer feels like it's the last 2/3rds of a game because Chris Roberts couldn't or wouldn't work on the basic 1/3rd first. You start to get a great idea of how Chris Roberts works. Star Lancer was a good game and his biggest successes were the similar Wing Commander games where the primary focus is the scripted missions that you can run over with a microscope to fine tune. Some scripted AI and you are done, the player does most of the work. But when he tries to spread out into living universes he is a giant autist that doesn't understand human interaction and fails completely by breaking out an electron microscope on poo poo like proper docking procedures or what the intergalactic news cycle should be. All of which would be fine if he eventually got around to the other things, but as he has admitted himself and has been proven by his removal from other projects, he will not get to the other things. He will run right into the ground with his terrible ideas if people let him, and nobody can stop him now. So Star Citizen, of course, should be well worth the $75,000 some people are purchasing it for. I'm sure the 3+ years of motion capture work for 300+ speaking roles making tens of hours of finished footage with orchestral score and hollywood actors totally didn't take away from the basics of the game in time and budget. You see I know all of these basics are done because

XK posted:When you make an open world sandbox game, the thing that makes it feel good is when the player always has the choice between playing the game story, or playing the world. I can't count how many locations I've come across in GTA games where I wondered why that area was there. No story line poo poo ever happened there, and there was nothing important, but I could punch a dude, start a fight, have cops show up, steal a bike, ride into the ocean, grab a yacht, 30 minutes later I'm hunting in the woods or dive bombing a 747 at a military base. Reminded me of this I ran into lately: http://keithburgun.net/videogames-are-broken-toys/ . Discusses some of your feelings, I think.
