Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

TheAgent has the right fix on this thread.

If it's funny, run with it, and have a drink.

Derek has his own thing going on, so I'm not even going to criticize him for being super serious.

Anyone else, if you're in this thread getting too upset about things, it's like you're mad while at the circus.

Yeah, makes sense. When you said Roberts is a born leader. He has natural charisma, the evidence is right there for all to see. He has followers wherever he goes.

I was shocked to learn that Nioh came out on the PC yesterday as I thought it was a PS4 exclusive not of the timed variety. Though I was not quite so shocked to learn that the port kinda sucks.

...Wait, the new D3 season starts in a few days? it's been 3 weeks already? But I have too many new games to play... For PC gaming to be dying there sure is a surfeit of games to play.

But none of them say "a Chris Roberts game" on the box — hell, they don’t even have boxes — and none require emm386.sys, so they hardly qualify as games, much less as PC games.

hello

all of these are god knows how credible
  • chris roberts is transitioning away from any game or art design to focus more on company matters
  • someone close to chris (sean tracy??) will be handling all end stage design and art approvals
  • expect 3.0 features in 2018 at the minimum
  • sqlude is still scheduled for this year
  • sqlude is working off a different engine branch than 2.6/3.0 (???)
  • mocapped assets are undergoing redesigns (again)
  • some mocapped characters have changed due to rewrites, causing dialogue to be re-recorded
  • crawling/wall/fast attacking vanduul were too "problematic," will now stand and fire normally
  • AI still broken (shooting through walls, instakilling the player, animations not firing correctly, spazzing out into the great beyond on death anim)
  • netcode still broken
  • updated design docs are forthcoming and will detail some "minor" changes to scope
  • larger ships with full player crews will be hamstrung fighting against AI ships until problems are fixed
  • larger battles are still not possible (2018/2019 minimum) and SC will focus more on smaller player driven skirmishes
  • end year sales "barely put our nostrils above water"

its nice it took you 5 months to catch up tho

How cute. :allears:

04/18/2017 - 3.0 dev schedule shows it isn't coming out until 2018 at the latest; and that it's all been bullshit

quote:

Now, not only is this 3.0 schedule basically 2.7 in disguise, but it’s also missing several (e.g. mining (LOL!! see the official statement), planets) components they’ve been promising and touting for years now. And it also pushes the project well into 2018. If they even survive that long – and have the money – it’s safe to say that it’s a 2020 game. But none of that matters because not only is what they’ve now promised never seeing the light of day, even if you added leeway for delays, you’d end up well into Q4/2017. And assuming they complete it, well, you’d be looking at barely 25% (need I mention that 3.0 now only contains 3 moons, no planets – and not even 1% of the promised 100 star systems?) of the game they promised. Not including SQ42.

02/14/2017 - 3.0 is pure lies & bullshit

01/27/17 - 3.0 Predictions

12/13/2016 - They're hosed. Kiss 2016 and 2017 goodbye

11/2/2016 - 3.0 Does NOT exist

04/12/2016 - Star Citizen The Extinction Level Event

NOTE: This is not a pissing contest. The whole point of my missive is that you have to know when something you're posting is pure bullshit, and when it's not. If you end up with more bullshit (like the above list), than something that is actually plausible, or ends up being true, then people will just start to ignore everything - regardless of credibility. Then when really good poo poo comes out, it's hard for it to make an impact due to all the noise from prior bullshit.

Though my blogs and articles are long and detailed, it's not because I too can't just write up a bunch of stupid bullet points and call it a day. It's because, for me, this is serious business, and as someone who has spent decades in the industry and in this space sim genre, I have a lot more at stake than most who are just in it for the lols.

That's all I'm saying. But feel free to continue though, because some of your posts are worth the lols.

If you have any sense of humor, you'll laugh your butt off at the absurdity of the game.

Kiwami isn't bad, but since it is basically a remake of a game made many moons ago the side stories aren't as good as 0. Can't wait to see what they do with 6.

I built a 2 for 1 skeletal mage spam Max essence spend and restore globe build, and now I can't think of anything interesting in the game. Like, go into rift, right click 3 times, wait, do again, teleport onto health globes, right click 3 times, pop shrines with Nemesis equipped and forget what that does every time, etc.

It was fun to get there, but now that I'm skely god, it's boring.
