Bensday with Batgirl: Episode 80

"Published on Sep 8, 2017
Batgirl and Ben return this week for another Bensday with Batgirl and Ben.This week the 600i controversy is addressed as well as the potential game changer that will be introduced at some point in v3.0."[/b]

I expect absolutely nothing of import will be discussed. Unless the "game changer" is the introduction of something truly radical -- like Star Citizen's first enjoyable game loop -- then it's just going to be more of the same bullcrap...

EDIT: I spoke too soon. They address the 600i Q&A controversy and Ben spends a good bit of the first five minutes explaining why it's a fairly-priced ship with prestige / luxury elements that didn't really get its proper due in the Q&A. In listening to it, the clear subtext is that CIG had higher hopes for the sales / backer response, and The Master of Spaceships is here to redeem its reputation.

BEN: "It's more than 'this is just a fancy ship'... it's 'oh, NPCs think this is a fancy ship!' And 'oh, there's other areas of the world open to you because you drive THIS car instead of this car!'"

Yeah Ben, the "velvet rope" experience of more Star Citizen: Prestige Edition crap is definitely worth the money. It was worth the $10,000 that Million Mile High Club customers spent, given the incredibly luxurious appointments you guys put in to your "members only", polished wood space bar with the wall-to-wall fish tanks and the bartender forever polishing the countertops. Surely the $400 spent for 600i will offer similarly indulgent luxuries and gameplay experiences.

Surely.

Just an ELE theory I posted on Discord:

1. CIG set up a new shell company and transfer the last of the backer funds to it.
   
2. CIG declare bankruptcy, the entire development team is laid off and all the current backers are screwed as they end up in the back of any queue for any money that comes from liquidation of unclaimed assets.
   
3. Coutts swoops in to claim the IP/Assets they got in the loan deal and set about to hold a public auction to sell them off to the highest bidder.
   
4. CIGs new shell company attempts to buy them up with the money they embessled in the dying days.
   
5. CIGs new shell company (with Chris Roberts as a silent partner in hiding) announces they're going to bring the game to release but they will be unable to honour anywhere close to CIG's ridiculous list of promises and they definitely won't be able to give everyone who's already paid a copy of the game for free, they will instead offer it at a reduced rate for all backers who lost money.
   
6. Profit

I thought somebody at CIG recently dismissed toilets as "RP fluff", but apparently there will actually be a bathroom game mechanic?

Confirmed in ATV, pooping mechanic is on the way

So I've been playing the new mass effect game while I'm waiting for Star Citizen to save console gaming.

I've enjoyed mass effect, but for some reason in this one I find myself:

1: Skipping all dialog constantly until all the talk options are greyed out signaling I'm done.

2: Not talking to characters because I don't want another poo poo tier side quest to burden me down with something stupid and pointless.

3: Have no idea what the point of research and crafting is when I seem to have guns and junk I find better than stuff I can craft.

4: Literally no idea how to do crafting and know what's better than another thing.

5: Not even sure what the story line is anymore with Aliens and whatever and just kind of blah.

6: Super happy when I run into alien marines in an alien world and everything looks like Mass Effect buildings complete with English bar codes and all the aliens are using N7 weapons in cutscenes.

You can't in E:D. I've tried.

While it's true, that you can travel in any direction for an infinite time, when you finally get to another system without using hyperspace, there won't be anything there. You're at the right spot, but no sun(s) or planets will exist.

You can then do a hyperjump of 0 ly, and *poof* all orbital bodies will appear.

Hmm, something interesting must have come up last night, maybe a new discovery was made or-

*Anime posts*



Also I would love to see CIG try to offload its IP rights to the new shell company, mainly because if it tried that Coutts would immediately block the move, given that CIG can't dispose of their IP rights without their prior consent.

I'm pretty sure the reason it looks like technology hasn't advanced since the 80s is because Crobberts is trying his damndest to rip off the look of LV-426 from Aliens.

The problem with the chat though, honesty, is that it can't be motion captured or animated as a cutscene. This reduces its chances of getting fixed to near zero.

You're confusing travelling system-to-system, with the travelling in-system from planet/station to planet/station that is being discussed. The latter is possible in E:D, KSP, etc. and even Star Citizen assuming it doesn't crash.
