I se 3.0 as the mvp EA live game thanks for the money suckers. But are they that stupid or desperate?

Usually goes like this (honest summary)

:v: OK, let's play some STAR MARINE!!!!
*looking for players goes by for ten minutes, none join*
:v: Oh, OK, pretty quiet tonight, let's play some ARENA COMMANDO
*Flys around for 20 mins doing not much, no other players around*
:saddowns: OK, lets go to port olisar

Going to port olisar seems to be some sort of thing they try to put off but always end up there as if it was their destiny

I think you'll find Chris never promised anything and the feature lists and convention demos were there merely to whet the imagination, not represent actual concrete goals.

That's how game development works, didn't you even know that? Futhermore, gently caress you goonie.

They use repurposed aircraft-grade metal, yes, but the website that sells it ( or at the very least a diff vendor and same desk) claims they use "screwed rivets" which they claim is a thing for old planes, which I've literally never heard of.

That's certainly bullshit, as aircraft are made using solid rivets and are hammered on the outside up against a solid surface. A screw rivet would never be used, due to vibrations causing it to become loose.

Eh, I've been burned on a few things on early access that 'released', but never to more than the tune of about $30. I know goons who still have waaaay above that in this poo poo (judging by my facebook instafeed re-tweets or whatever the gently caress).

It's always just as loving dumb. Star Marine is sometimes borderline playable for like five minutes before you get bored.

Some of my best experiences with lovely mmo's have been trolling the poo poo out of them with goons - from habbo hotel (geno cultists) to city of heroes (jumping jacks for XP just go to this area where you will absolutely die) to corporate spreadsheet skulduggery in EVE. Promise me that if this ever releases and can support more than 6 people per instance we will come together as a single entity, purchase minimal accounts and ruin it for every other person for as long as CIG can afford to keep the servers turned on? Frankly it's the best outcome I can imagine.

That was IonStorm Austin which sort of quietly was competent with the investor money while main ionstorm was imploding. If there is a second secret CIG that Roberts has no say over, run by a humble smart game designer, then things are looking up.

But right now Harvey Smith is at Arkane. And Warren Spector is making SystemShock 3 at OtherSide.



Didn't the main Ion Storm produce Anachronox? If so, that's enough to give them a pass in my books.

They did but it was good in spite of them not because of them, there was a ton of cut content and if it were made somewhere that wasn't ran into the ground by a boss eyed man beast it would probably been even better.

Ive seen rivets with what look like screw heads on the surface, but thats just due to the particular rivet and method of installing it, right? Its obviously not an actual screw rivet.
