So after watching the demo: Was there any way points from the point of headed towards the planet? The player flew through some canyons and lands - I didn't see any way to know that? Same with the area once landed- random, dark caves that look pretty huge and easy to get lost it, but no way to know where to go or what to do? Did the player take any damage at all in both space and on the ground?

You ask the salesman and he says he'll go find out about the windows. u ok commando?

PederP posted:The weird thing with the patient backers is that they don't seem to consider that this production is way too costly to continue indefinitely. If it was a smaller team, I can see how it would be a perfectly valid position. Tarn Adams isn't going to finish Dwarf Fortress this decade (or the next), but it is extremely likely that he has the commitment and income to work on it until it's done or the time comes for him to meet Armok. But CIG isn't going to survive on backer pledges forever. Even the most die-hard fan of Chris Roberts should be able to see this. They don't have 5 or 10 years to finish this, even if Skadden wasn't knocking on the door. That's where I think an element of dishonesty is at play, because CIG are certainly not being transparent about remaining funds, operating costs and income streams. There's nothing inherently wrong about selling an attempt at creating something unrealistic and vague. But there is something wrong about selling a product you know full well you do not have the funds to even attempt to deliver. yes

G0RF posted:The campaign is an 8/10 and was one of the better entries in the series. Catching up but I have to say holy poo poo. I heard it launched and heard it flopped, and looking at Steam is "mixed/mostly negative", but skimming the reviews it's 100% "the multiplayer sucks". This sounds like it died entirely because all the COD fans panned it because it wasn't COD and all the non-COD fans panned it because it had COD in the name. Either way, I might have to at least grab this on sale or something.

G0RF posted:I’m old enough to have played Scott Adams games off cassette. There have been seasons of plenty and seasons of wanting over that long span but there’s never been a time without some pockets of greatness if you love gaming. But these guys don’t. What they want, what they desperately long for, is to feel wonder again in that unalloyed form that came so easily, so naturally to their younger minds and selves. Not to harp on about the perfect console, but Breath of the Wild actually hit that for me and it was extremely impressive, given how jaded and cynical I am when it comes to games otherwise.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:Either way, I might have to at least grab this on sale or something. Yeah, I've been eyeing it since it came up on the steam sale a few days ago. I don't care much for the CoD multiplayer, for those needs I much prefer Battlefield and especially Rainbow Six: Siege (which is loving aces and just keeps getting better and better. Way to surpass expectations Ubi!) but I have really fond spot for the sheer cinematic spectacle and well-crafted set-pieces of CoD-campaigns. People who have played it, is it worth 45 bucks for the campaign, or is it advisable to wait until it drops to 30-ish?

I'm still not sure whether it was a good idea. I liked it for being different. It added a layer of 'uncertainty in a hurry' when the options floated past faster during a fight. Is SC trying to replicate the Slaine UI?

Mne nravitsya posted:<Waving from my wheelchair to the left of you> I played Zork on Cassette tape. There’s still a few of us alive Gorf > ”Hello sailor!” Even when the rendering engine was solely the imagination, there were wonderful games. The golden era of Infocom — that glorious stretch that spanned from Zork I to at least A Mind Forever Voyaging was an embarrassment of riches all unto itself. From one company with a handful of writer / programmers. Its funny how impactful those early classics were. Even as I got to the Ethan self-sacrifice scene in Infinite Warfare, my thoughts drifted back to the unexpectedly emotional climax of Infocom’s first comic sci-fi entry, Planetfall. How ironic it is to me now that the classic was so manipulative while the COD game was more understated. I’ve the feeling if we ever do get a Squadron release, it will have its share of big heroic moments and if fate smiles upon us they will be as hamfisted and melodramatic as possible.

Golli posted:Thanks - that makes sense. It's not for me, but if it works and everyone is used to it. When it comes to open floor plans, in my experience most devs fall somewhere between neutral to abject hatred. Coding is a solitary discipline that requires unbroken concentration, interspersed with relatively brief periods of collaboration for a specific purpose. Whenever 2+ people start talking, it’s very disruptive to everyone within earshot, which is why almost everyone wears over-ear hard-backed noise-canceling headphones.

 Now, SC really doesn't need defending, however, I have one point regarding the FPS counter. After watching I think I understand where the discrepancy between the ingame and overlay counter comes from, and I don't believe it's SC outright lying to you per se. The difference is that the overlay shows your actual frames per second, measured by counting the rendered frames achieved within one second (hence it only updating every second), whereas the ingame counter displays an estimated/theoretical FPS count based on the frame time of the last rendered frame (or maybe a rolling average over a few frames). If you then have the special kind of lovely performance SC delivers - short periods of mediocre FPS interrupted by huge hangs and lags - this can end up in the game displaying a seemingly too high FPS value, as during a hang you only see the ok-ish value from the previous frame, and then once the hang stops the low value of the hang-frame is only visible for like 1/20th of a second.

Its taking me ages to slog through the sq42 livestream shitshow, its just not engaging at all. We're now running around a cave picking up a box On the other hand I watched some of the COD:IW bits that were posted and am now mega interested in what happens next in that story - and this is COD for crying out loud, but 20mins of COD activity and story and cutscenes has got me thinking and engaged more than ~30mins of Chris Robert's janky walking & talking simulator. Chris Roberts wants to direct a movie rather than the BDSSE does he? Not with this pacing and levels of boredom. This is like one of those trailers you click on and 3 mins into it realise it isn't a trailer but someones just uploaded an 8 minute chunk of the film, with no context, and its terrible. Oh and its a lot longer than 8mins

Can't believe this hasn't been pointed out. The SC inner thoughts thing is - surprise, surprise - borrowed from Wing Commander. Whenever the player would make a choice for Blair, there'd be two options and when highlighted Mark Hamill would read them out. For example, the first choice in WC4 is 'help him out' VS 'straighten him out'. Hamill, however, wouldn't have such flat, droning delivery. But yes, Chris is just ransacking a previous title for ideas.

Scruffpuff posted:I think you, and everyone else playing 3.0, are missing some very obvious facts. First of all, this was tested by internal QA for months. Second, it was tested by Evocati after that, just to make sure nothing slipped through. If you're telling me there are still this many bugs after two full groups of testers, a year's delay, and even more polish after that, well I'd have to say this must be a Chris Roberts game. This. Although I am thankful failuretoreport is taking the bullet and shows the hilarity of the actual current state of the project.
