spacetoaster posted:Yeah. That site was pretty bad. Here's the GBS thread on it: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3772600 I remember Lando was streaming when the news broke of Ben's site. You could see him get distracted, hurriedly click through a couple links, then just gets this super aggravated look on his face. It was one of my favorite SC moments.

EggsAisle posted:Swap out "cautionary" for "inspirational" and you've got yourself the classic Citizen pitch. In the end, I wonder if we're not just as trapped in orbit as they are. Though at least the goons are a little more self-aware. It's certainly true that everyone can see what CIG has actually produced after years of work and millions of dollars: - an incomplete alpha split into different modules, - a lot of expensive jpgs of ships, - a long list of core features that they "hope" will be added "soon," and - a lot of promises made over the past year that critical technical and game design problems are this close to being solved (echoing similar promises made the year before). You'd have to be made of stone to not have some kind of reaction to seeing all of that: no matter how much you might want to be able to remain entirely impartial and say "I guess we'll see what happens," your brain's already plotted the trajectory and made its best guess about where Star Citizen is going to end up. And that's even before you get into the personalities running the show over at CIG, and what your immediate reaction to them might be. Even if you don't want to choose a side, you probably already did.

Exinos posted:Trying to decide what's worse, and therefore what option CIG goes with. I'll go with 1) before or at Gamescom as the most realistic. Even if it is poo poo it is still under the veil of alpha and Evocati. Shitizens have proven extremely resilient to poo poo quality as long as it is there. Crobberts knows a delay beyond Gamescom will be probably devastating for credibility and therefore funding, whereas a poo poo product still suggests progress and hope to improve.

I'm gonna go with #2 but it could also be because three months of scrambling is not enough to get 3.0 planetside gamemode (aka two or three cyengine maps) out the door. See Sandi's tweet about polishing up some derelict ships. Jobbo_Fett posted:Buddy at the LA office told me that the only reason they started making the "Making Of" Documentary when they did was so that they could have it ready for the MVP. They plan on releasing the game, claiming full product status, and pledge to patch in eveeything else.

Here he comes trying to spin things that don't even make sense, just when I found this excellent pizza article: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/johan-kugelberg/swedish-pizza_b_1608146.html I do like how weird Swedish pizza can be, especially the more extreme specials that have way too much stuff on them.

Virtual Captain posted:Even using the most charitable scoring system I could think of, which gives up to 30% progress on just for showing a something in a video. The entire project clocks in at 11% completed. This is basically done. If anyone wants to improve the html/bootstrap that would be helpful. The relevant code is here on line 133 The total appears on the main page like so: Links to https://starcitizentracker.github.io/majorsystems/ which shows a breakdown of section. I feel it is generous to CIG but the zealots will scream regardless.
