The biggest one I noticed that CIG is often guilty of is "dont use real world limitations to excuse bad game design". Especially because they are so arbitrary about it. Like one second its all gravity goo and the next its 'well each thruster needs to impart force thats why it flys like poo poo nothing to be done"

9:20 "If someone comes in pitching 1000 person firefights then alarm bells go off"

Although the presenter does show a shocking lack of game dev knowledge "Don't prototype your character opening doors. Thats easy stuff any team can do. I want to see the things that are unique and interesting that define your game"

Heh, I have >_>

I spent a good part of the 90's traveling in the US, lots of concerts/festivals/gatherings, hot springs and camping and sunshine... and fixing our broken down van to keep on keepin on. At some point during this escapade, we were in Birmingham Alabama for a few months, rebuilding the Chevy 350 in our step-van (milk truck/UPS van looking thing w/sliding doors and you can stand up in it) we lived/traveled in, which sucked because we just put that loving engine in there after throwing a piston off our crankshaft leaving New Orleans a few months earlier after Mardi Gras, which was a month long saga in itself staying with the Hemp Museum folks (southern chapter of NORML) when they were on South Carrolton St. In Birmingham we also had cool people to stay with where we could do the work (off-street this time!) and there were other cool folks around town we started hanging out and partying with.

One of my new friends knew some good mushroom fields about an hour out of town, and we had already been eating them for a few days so it sounded p rad to go pick some like the natives. Honestly it was a gang of fun, though sketchy cause dude w/the car has to drop you off and do 5-10 mile laps back/forth until your are done. Parking the car there is a bust -cops know exactly what's up and so do the farmers and trespassing is the minimum you'll get and most likely will be much worse. Anyhow, after some amazing high as gently caress cow interactions (they totally know what's up and protect them -for themselves!) we had a nice stash to bring back (bout 20yrs apiece worth if we got caught lol) and went back to the road and luckily our buddy drove by before any farmers or cops did. I call this hippie roulette.


About halfway back I really had to poo poo, like pronto... we were eating raw rear end mushrooms in the field with ranch dressing after just rinsing them off w/our cantines (they grow in cow poo poo) and our filthy hands plus mushies can gently caress w/your gut anyhow and god drat I had to blow a loving seal. I was getting legit worried about losing it in the car which would be a lovely trip, worse than sweating with my sphincter under manual override and at deficon 2. Just in the nick of time we come across a diner in the middle of nowhere and pull in. I blast out of the car to go to the bathroom and go through the front door and man it was a scene like a bad movie about The South but in slow motion/frame by frame psychedelic time dilation. The family that owned/ran the place all crowded at one booth (one leaning on a mop chewing gum) were straight hillbillies and didn't like the look of the freak dude that just burst through their front door desperate for bathroom with a crazed look in his eye so were all staring at me in shock and revulsion and the gum chewer stopped chewing and time stood loving still. The few customers there were staring at me frozen in place cause I really did look like a freak to them plus was high af and mostly concentrating on notshtting.

They all point in unison and I make my way to the bathroom and get in there and it looks just like the loving picture -two normal sit down toilets side by side with no wall between them and would be in full view of anyone standing by the door if it opened. What made it even weirder though was there was a lock on the door too so now my psilocybin addled brain is trying to work out the permutations and implications of this new development. I gave up trying to figure it out and decided not to lock the door and no sooner than I started to explode, one of my buddies comes in with the giggles, gripping his sides with tears and everything telling me about how much poo poo the diner folks were all talking about me by the time he walked in then he stayed in there busting my (rather exposed) balls for most of my throne time. Honestly that part was less awkward than another driveby past the diner folks in my condition, the walk of shame back out was worse than my way in somehow. We laughed our loving asses off so hard after we were out of there and had a safe and hilarious ride back to town and the rest of the trip was magical.

Welp that's my dual shitter story and I still have no idea wtf the lock was for... like once there's two of you in there, then it's awkward if someone comes in?











Dude this sounds insane. It also sounds like a hell of an awesome story. Sounds like you guys had a blast! :)

The funny thing about 8 minutes is, I'm a proponent of long travel times in online open world games, it's good for the non-combat part of economy play (trading with places far away from main hubs gets profitable since it takes a tiny bit of effort so most won't bother), but obviously star citizen did it all wrong.

On how to do this poo poo right, look at Freelancer. It's a bad game on many levels, but anywhere on your journey, you're hitting content. You see police patrols ganking you for cardamine, you see pirates interrupting the trade lane and scanning you for valuables, you see patrols fighting pirates, avoiding space rocks in space fog nebula, there's constantly *something* happening around your ship.

On the other hand, in star citizen it's just 8 minutes of loving nothing. There's not even awesome nebula scenery or anything, it's just nothing.

Have you ever been to space? Know what it’s full of? Nothings.

And poo poo.

But mostly nothing. So not having anything to do for 8+ minutes is the simulation side of Star Citizen. It revolves around doubling the transverse side of the triple negative of space distances so everything is unrealistically close but hideously far in all the best ways. :smuggo:

There was some branching, but some of them ended in a fire or dead end with a door that looked like it could open but didn’t.

Naturally you just stop, and your brain hard locks as you sit there watching the door because maybe it will open. Or maybe that fire will eventually go out because it’s just burning on steel and steel isn’t flammable so surely it will go out eventually.

Turning around and going down the other, unblocked corridor is not an option. That way is obviouslya trap. They must think we’re stupid or something.

In the original pitch video, CR walked around the inside of a ship, and then flew the hornet thing and noted all over the articulating thrusters.

Today, Star Citizen is much the same as it was, except now the pitch videos are movies instead of showcasing innovative features.

The dreams are now YouTube videos. The hopes are renders and bad photoshops of ships on stolen art or footage of otter things.

But never stop role playing. And definitely don’t role play that you just own one of those ships unless you actually bought it, because that’d be cheating.

I’m starting to wonder if somehow CIG tapped into that frustrated Games Workshop magic vein of infinite money for basically nothing. But at least with GW the artwork is pretty cool and the lore seems to be more interesting than a 8th graders “my rpg game I’m building” notebook full of pencil sketches of stick figures fighting and maps of Mordor.
