I get that we're all in on the joke that SCTRUMPAMN or whatever is a SurfaceDetail rereg, but even jokingly telling someone to kill themselves is a bad move. Try and avoid that in the future, commando.

Yes, the $1k SSD announcement, combined with the hour of uninspired flyby and an $850 buy-in to 10 years of technical debt just dangles there.

Now you mention it, I'm kinda surprised they haven't had sexy booth babes at any shows. Seems such an easy way to divert attention from the poo poo they're demonstrating. It's almost as if there's someone high up in the company who wouldn't want young, attractive, scantily-clad women around.

Anyone in here ever played Mage the Ascension? I've never played it before and I've had to do a bunch of reading and brainstorming and wow, there's a lot of stuff to this. I have already put word in the appropriate thread for direction but it moves slowly. If anyone can give me some pointers, that'll be grand.

In the game everyone is a wizard. So I decided to roll an ex-boxer/enforcer who will punch his way to success and occasionally rip into the fabric of reality to heal himself or just strong arm poo poo. Life spheres and Prime are gunna be the areas of magic. I look forward to my first real confrontation of magic.

Come out with your pants down!
You know Citizencon was boring when people are creating troll accounts just to have something to do.

Anyway, the citizen takeaway from the con seems to be "woohoo, they didn't obviously gently caress up this time, suck it goons".

I didn't watch the whole thing, but I did catch the planetary landing and the city and all that jazz. I don't know why everyone is excited over a bunch of textured blocks. Sure, they're buildings, but it's not like you can DO anything with them. I'm pretty sure it's been done before, so that particular demonstration was less than useless.

The ending was jarring as hell, because I was waiting for some type of reveal. Like, all of a sudden he steps into a building and Gary Oldman is there making his parp-speech and holy poo poo this was Squadron 42 all along and OH GOD THE VANDUUL ARE ATTACKING GET TO YOUR SHIPS fade to black

But no. Just "well, that's what we had to show you! Here's a bunch of people and look at that huge cake!"

I feel ripped off. I was promised a train wreck and all I got was this wet fart.

So I've been a long time lurker but had to grit my teeth and pay up just to explain....well gloat on all you clowns,

Like how does it taste? The biggest event of the year where you guys were sourly clenching your fingers in anticipation of mocking something better than yourselves.

But Chris delivered. Showing Dereek Farts and you idiots what is possible in gaming.

You guys are pretty much silent, trying anything in your power to smear this accomplishment and its ugly. You have nothing solid to point at and say this is bad. Its all supposition and honestly, lies.

See you in the loving Verse friends.

Not sure if serious or meta-troll but if former, he still hasn’t even delivered the 75% downsized version of last year’s claims. Here’s a helpful summary of what has transpired since Gamescom 2026. And what hasn’t. (With some additional minor revisions (thx for the suggestions, friends.)



The CitizenCon video demo was pretty fantastic to look at, at least I thought so. Majestic, really, as a toolabout tour of a detailed, epic sci-fi amalga-verse.

Yet CIG’s ability to dazzle with demos in service of their fundraising imperatives isn’t something I’ve ever doubted. It is, in fact, their business model and primary talent.

“Delivery” in its actual sense — of stable builds and enjoyable gameplay loops that pay off on prior claims, has long been one of their great weaknesses. If it weren’t, Star Marine would compare favorably to Battlefield and Arma rather than disfavorably to Quake II. If it weren’t, players would’ve been playing the completed Stanton System, enjoying many new mechanics, over the last a half-year. Instead, they’re on the emotional rollercoaster that is the Burndown blocker/bugs chart and will for months more.

Given that the indeterminate wait for the playable release of a highly-downsized version of yesteryear’s promises is likely to extend into the new year, it does seem to take the shine off of any new shiny baubles being teased in the current fundraising cycle. Hearing senior designers in year five of development talk about their goal to complete the first game loop, even as they’ve subjected armors and spaceships in game to 3-5 redesigns in the same duration, suggests that perhaps someone finally realized games are meant to be played rather than just watched. So perhaps that’s an encouraging sign.

EDIT: Oh hey man, nice one.
