I will have to try the good version. I've tried steam and original CD.


But that's exactly why it was good. In terms of xwa, the mission development and change of pace made the game actually fun. No go here do x mission complete.

"Here pilot, we're pirating this convoy on behalf of the rebellion, with some pirate dudes to help. Oh poo poo, they're shooting the civilians, mission scrub, new mission kill all your former friends before they kill the civvies."

It was loving great.

The family missions interspersed with the rebellion missions made the game feel so much more alive too. Slower paced, and more explorative of some of the games mechanics.


Now I have to go and buy a new hotas before trying to set it all up again. The top gun fox 2 pro I inherited from my father when he gave up gaming now longer works as it used to, it lists lazily to the right. Suggestions for good hotas that will not break bank?


Lucky bastard!


Derek baby, you just don't understand belt digestion. Also, have never used the messaging side of the forum, have no idea how it works or where to even access it from?

Additionally, MoMA, eat your loving belt.

Does one require some combination of tattoo/beard/funky hat to work at CIG? Or is it a coping strategy for how bland everything they make is?
"I'm expressing myself" he screamed inwardly as he wasted another day tweaking a nondescript spaceship for a nondescript spacegame directed by a potato man with rickets who happens to be trapped in a black turtleneck

I hope it hurt. I have little doubt she funded that film with both money and equipment. I hope they took her for a ride. I hope they lied their asses off to her to string her along for as long as they could. I hope they told her nothing, even after release and they knew that her already bit part she was really looking forward to was actually cut.

That look of angry, sad, betrayal she had is exactly what thousands of people also felt as she “keeps doing what she’s doing”!

If this is the only way she’ll be able to feel even a fraction of what she’s caused to countless other people, good for whatever mythical creature or voodoo doll is causing her grief.

Maybe she can go design some loving shoes for her shoe design company or something to feel better about it. Or go take a dive in the ocean and discover new creatures with her degree in marine biology. Or go put her degree in international marketing to work on another scam sale. Or maybe she’ll think of a way to fix it since she’s the smartest person in the room.

Or maybe she can just go back to being a washed up, poo poo-tier former porn actress who married an equally washed up former Hollywood director who was kicked out of the industry so hard he had to sell cars, and who found restitution in that pathetic life style by accidentally discovering a twisted way to become filthy rich by lying and cheating everybody and their uncle.

Tough choices but I’m sure she’ll make the wrong one that will hurt the most people so long as it propels her forwards.

Forrest became involved in the character pipeline when it was decided to redo the FPS characters. I like Forrest on a personal level. I think he is a good guy at heart and is doing the best job he can with the experience and personality he has. His mandate from CR was to improve the look of the characters. So what is the problem? Experience and attitude. Forrest came into the character pipeline full force. He had already decided what was lacking for characters. Namely- the ship art pipeline and techniques. He was not concerned with budget and memory. He was not concerned with time. He wanted what CR wanted- great looking screenshots. He dismissed my concerns about the time it will take to do characters like ships, tri count, and memory. He told me that I didn’t know how to model characters (after eight years of doing this). Forrest is very green, but more importantly it is obvious that he does not know how to deal with conflict or even disagreement. Putting someone with so little experience in games and no experience with characters in charge of the character team was frankly insulting. Billy and I spent a month undoing many of the ship techniques that Forrest had insisted on- mostly multiple materials and how the UVs were laid out. I wouldn’t expect someone at Forrest’s experience level to know what is common sense to anyone who has shipped a title. That is-plan for the game, not for screenshots and know that you will have less memory than you think. Forrest made every rookie mistake in the book in his charge, but what was worse is that he mowed down anyone who challenged his naive assumptions with insults and dismissal. With CR at his back, he stomped around like a child wearing his Father’s boots. Convincing Forrest that he might be wrong about something is a campaign in itself. Forrest might have value from his contributions to other areas of the art, but his involvement with characters was wasteful in time and effort, and absolutely corrosive to moral. He is simply the wrong man for the job and is one of my biggest reasons for leaving.

My favorite thing is just how hilariously huge this whole project has become. I mean you have entire rooms full of people working feverishly on something that is hopelessly hosed. Chris's Magnum Opus is going to be the biggest disappointment in the history of gaming.

Stop trying to get refunds. Your money, that you gave us, is gone. It went to developing dreams; not yours, but the people in charge here. You paid for them to live out their dreams: Ben, who finally got to work with his idol; Sandi, who got back into acting; Chris who got to direct an absolutely stellar A list cast. For everyone else, you've given them hundreds of thousands, if not millions, to pursue whatever they want to do. I'm sure they thank you for helping them do what they've only dared dreamed.

The rest of us politely say "Stop emailing us asking for your money back." I know the official line is that everything is great and we are making money like crazy, but it's not. Things here are dire. They've been dire for awhile but you can feel the shame and terror every time you walk into the building. I know this is coming off harsh. I don't care. I'm sick of working here and I'm especially sick of the whiny emails I continue to get. What did you expect?

I cashed out four months ago via GM. If you can sell a ship to a buyer, take it. Take it for half. Just take it.

You can also email and ask for a partial refund for 10%. Those we will approve without a problem, although it might take six or eight weeks to process now. Otherwise, stop asking, stop emailing and stop whining. Just stop.

Like look at this. Why do you have to go to the goddamn CEO or his bro (isn't he in charge of SQ42 not this nonsense?) just to get a """"""release build"""""" put out to evocati (where you cant get through the fuckin airlock), your NDA free labor?
