Just compare the Shitizens fidelitous dreams of finally getting to be Han Solo in their chariots with the mission we saw - the very worst kind of basic as gently caress WOW 1.0 fetch quest

Thinking about it, through my intense pounding headache, SCs fidelity vision could have worked as single player co-op. Roberts could have everything scripted, there'd be structure to the gameplay, you could join up with your space chums and have jolly good larks. Definitely doable. Just have the multiplayer be the Battlefront esque shooter that we've seen all week. Dump the MMO part entirely.

There you go Mr Roberts, I just solved your crippling development hell problems.

Woke up this morning and my face and jaw actually hurt from laughing so hard for 3.5 hours last night. Being on this board with y'all and watching/reacting to this presentation as it unfolded live makes this in the top 3 best video game experiences I have ever had in the last 23 year of being in this biz.

Major props to our mod Beet Wagon as his were the last words I can remember being uttered before we all plunged over the edge into the abyss that was the Star Citizen live stream (QFM) "Guys, please don't do anything inappropriate in the forum, the thread is starting to pick up speed!!!!AAAIIIEEEEEE!!!" or some sort of squealing/pleading for a last moment of calm before the madness

I will definitely need a few days to refill the tank after that blowout. When's CitizenCon?

If you watch at 3:10 the stereo image is the wrong way round.
Left and right channels are swapped, so when the character walks off to the left, her audio moves off to the right.

My favourite moment has to be when the thingy blew up, they failed the, by then, hours long mission and didn't mention it at all.

In retrospect it's so obviously clear that Roberts wants to make Immersion Simulator 20xx rather than a normal space game. Or any regular game.

All the nonsense and tchotkes - mobiglasses, live video chat, shady fellows in bars, etc etc didn't really matter a spit when the sweaty, panicky intern speed-ran through the replay. If he was the least bit self-aware he'd have designed SC to be a sandbox where players make their own fun. These games can be entertaining in their own right. But he wants to micro-manage everything to ensure players are having the right sort of fun.

I'm enjoying the collage of jank. Like, in this video, there's this bizarre wobbling int the animations, and then it takes like 10 seconds for the guy to figure out how to get into the seat...

I could tell how funny the presentation was today, by looking at how many empty bottles and cans of drink I'd had. :D

My head is pounding.

One of the funniest things I remember, was Dereks impecably timed and very loud "GUYS..! GUYS..! GUYS..! TESTING..!" over voice and the resulting laughter and goons mimicking megaphone announcement sounds in repsonse. :)

It was a good night, not so much for CR though.
