"The internet literally broke the day he announced he was making star citizen".

Um, no, CR's website broke, the rest of the internet continued to work as normal.

Also only a total dullard would think of CR as a 'genius' of game development, that's like saying Trump has a desirable hair do.

One of my best buds from ~4th grade age (I used to play Rogue on his Tandy!) had a couple guinea pigs that were supposedly both male until they gave birth to 20 baby pigs. He told me his mother put an end to the "now we have 22 guinea pigs" conundrum with a hammer on their concrete porch.

I never sassed her again.

Yea he said there was no way he can continue with star citizen if it was an end of year release.

Well here we are.

Lol, he has said he was done with SC how many times already? The blunt reality is that the guy is a bad streamer that has shackled himself to hat sinking (space)ship and cannot do anything else. When he tries to stream anything else his numbers drop to even less than the basically dozen that he usually has. Who in the right mind would watch a guy who is a) bad at video-games, b) unfunny/uncharismatic, c) bitchy (in a bad way), and d) WTFOsaurus

I watched that 42 minute video skipping through every 5 minutes or so... If they could actually make the game in that video it would be amazing. It looked really good.

I'm sad this game is bullshit, I really like the sci Fi ww2 Firefly Western vibe it's got and the cities and planets look really cool. Don't even make it an MMO just give me a good single player. I'd buy it.

30 Things I Hate About Your Game Pitch

#9 - You Never Mentioned Your Glaring Obvious Tech Risk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LTtr45y7P0&t=535s (8:55)
"A lot of times if you see a lot of pitches and if you've been working them on the publisher side a lot you kind of know what's feasible and what's not and you know what things are hard to do and what things are easy to do and if somebody comes in and says yeah we want to do a thousand person multiplayer game with real-time firefights then alarm bells go off and it's fine to do something that's really technologically ambitious it's fun to do something that's really dangerous and hard but if you say something like that that sounds dangerous and hard and then you don't explain how you're going to pull that off then that really makes people nervous."


#13 - You Polished Too Early https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LTtr45y7P0&t=740s (12:20)
"Part of the reason this image is in here this is from a game I worked on where we did like final art for all the ships before we had our combat modeled down and all the stuff got thrown out and so if a game is really really visually polished but the mechanics are still really broken in prototype that also is an alarm bell because it suggests that the team is not putting all the effort where where it should be and it also suggests that a lot of work is going to be redone. So again if you want to showcase what you're capable of in the art department that's great but make sure that it doesn't overshadow the fact that your your game in the prototype phase may still be really really incomplete. A few still images of show with your art team is capable of is much better than a prototype that is broken in a variety of ways but what that looks amazing because the person you pitching to knows that's all gonna have to be thrown out when the game actually gets nailed down so make sure that work in progress actually looks like work in progress."

Come on, buddy! You can do it! Make that connection!

Over 5 years in! No mmo in sight! The big proprietary conventions are now sales pitches for other companies to get in on the action!

It’s almost as if the promise of Star Citizen is too big, but nobody ever stopped selling new junk for it because the money keeps on flowing because of you and your buddies! But no matter how much you “donate” you never get more than some weird video or system you don’t want.

they are very intentionally playing the guilt card with the parade of broken burnt out human husks in front of cameras. I guess they realized they can get away with it ever since they totally failed to deliver their squardon 42 vertical slice so instead guilt tripped their customers for expecting results.

It's a disgrace like every other aspect of this mess

That's exactly what it is and that's exactly why they wheel out the devs for the weekly shitshows. I noticed they started doing this right after the refund stuff started to take off.

gently caress you Chris, it's not my fault you couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery even with an instruction manual and the head brewer holding your hand, so don't try and guilt trip me into feeling bad that your staff are working nights and weekends on a deathmarch to try and save what's turned into the biggest farce in gaming and also what little public image you have.

That's what I'd say if I'd ever put a single cent into Star Citizen, but I never have and since this dumpster fire is so entertaining, instead I'll say CIG keep doing what you're doing :munch:

I like the 60 year old man nicknames these dudes give any dissenters. Like "Sparky". Reminds me of an old drunk I arrested 5 years ago, the memory sticks with me because his insults were no longer valid in today's day and age. Stuff like "Gearbox", "Sparky", etc.

I have a feeling a lot of the backers are dudes who no longer are relevant in life.
