#4 (Merge sort) is the best. woop woop wooop woooooop wooooooooooooooop! Blue On Blue posted:I have a controversial opinion on the citizen con coming up I predict two outcomes: 1) CIG runs a presentation full of bugs that makes the shambles of Gamescom look competent; backers are stretched to breaking point if not failure cascade entirely. 2) CIG managed to convince a third party to code a mock-up of 3.1/3.2/4.0/whatever ala Gamescom/Citizencon 2016; backers claim that CIG have 'saved the day' and that they have renewed faith in the project. New backers possibly join as a result and CIG limps ahead for another year. Given how large Citizencon is this year (maybe a distraction for a lovely keynote speech?) I'm guessing 1 might be on the menu this week.

VictorianQueerLit posted:Oh hey it's like those theaters that had vibrating seats and air blowing on people during action scenes and stuff "for a more immersive experience." actually for racing having bass transducers is really good. feeling the bumps adds a lot of realism to the car. Not to mention feeling the backend losing traction is important. In VR it adds a fundamental missing feature. To the point that at times my body releases adrenaline when I bake corners and am about to crash. Not sure if others have experienced that or if motion rigs get that but a few times - it has been well crazy.

Thoatse posted:It's more dependent on if you bought duct tape actually certified for duct work or just picked up a $1.00 roll of 'duct tape' from the local hardware store; the quality variance is about as big as the difference between a real AAA game vs whatever the gently caress you can call SC. This is true too! Don’t be cheap on your duct tape if you want longevity!

This might sound like an odd question, but.... Are there game mechanics that these idiots are all getting behind and circlejerking about? I think it would be kind of hilarious to just drop in and provide a counterpoint to see people up in arms about game mechanics that may or may not exist in the current collection of jpegs

Why I’ll barely be able to contain myself when I get a quest from another guy to go to one of the eight points of interest in the game! Post your favorite upcoming feature in 7.0 or 8.0 to help moma get the willies and excitement goosebumps in all his places!!!

Escapist is running on fumes because it has no interesting content at all, and the only thing that brings in any money is Yahtzee's poo poo, which you can watch on Youtube a week later. It was clearly the fault of Derek, and that article about SC from over 2 years ago. Yahtzee came from here, btw, lol.

Sunswipe posted:I don't have the energy to wade through a load of Shitizen bollocks at the moment. Can anyone summarise how they think Star Citizen had anything to do with The Escapist's problems? The rise and fall of companies as Star Citizen never gets out of alpha will always happen. If one of these companies said something about the game, CIG, or any of their friends and family, they had it coming and it is clearly Chris Roberts deciding to drop the hammer on them instead of completely unrelated events that caused corporate failure.

These drat kids probably didn’t even back for 10k like I did. Good thing for this guy though, if a baby was born when Star Citizen began, he or she would be almost 6 years old now. It’s probably safe to say that that baby will probably have kids of their own before Star Citizen actually releases. So really he should be worried about today’s kids having kids years from now, honking in on his game and wrecking his Join this guy in preventing all these unborn babies from coming in and wrecking his game! Just imagine what the face over ip will look like!! Bunch of ratty kids sticking out their tongues, picking their noses... totally ruins my experience as an alpha tester over the next few generations.

Quoting this so in 4 years I can find it, as I write snarky comment number 690,000 about how this game is definitely going under in the next 42 days because nobody, loving nobody, can be stupid for so long. And yet I’ll be wrong. And if I’m not here, somebody quote me for me because it’ll be like a blast from the past from that crazy lady with the totally not sinking boat avatar.

Omniblivion posted:This might sound like an odd question, but.... Currently the game is in modules, not connected. There is a jank filled FPS level (Star Marine). A jank filled racing segment (???). A jank filled ship arcade wave shooter (Arena Commander). And a jank filled “persistent universe” that is neither persistent or a universe. This is the most popular part and it symbolizes what they want the future to be. Except functional, not janky, full of promises, and filled with 1000 people in a single instance at a time having massive fleet battles as they battle in space, on board the ships fighting in space, on the ground, and also bring video recorded by a news van space ship simultaneously. Also everybody has face over ip because you need to be immersed fully when watching somebody playing a video game because that is when they are most expressionate. Right now you can log in, go to your shop, and run a couple of missions between a two space stations and some random comm array things. Overall there is approximately two hours of content if you don’t crash, and everything after that is just “because you are a masochist”. There is no trading, mining, or other stuff. You can log in and shoot at other players or some AI pirates that have minimal actual AI. Supposedly you can also push around a vending machine, but only you can see it. There may be more now, but it is all in secret avocado testing, but rumor has it don’t expect much. Good luck, Citizen. You better buy in now.
