In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

ManofManyAliases posted:I thought we determined that was LY code.. Who could determine that? I don't know why, but I somehow doubt they removed every CryEngine library, then meticulously replaced every broken function call in their project for a new one in Lumberyard, refactoring everything that needed new arguments, writing fresh code where equivalent functionality wasn't found, and then fixing everything that this process broke. In their spaghetti code tech demo that was hacked together both by people who have quit, and people who are suing. While they were crunching to put out SC releases to grope for more funding. Piecemeal converting to a new engine during development, between version releases of a product already being distributed to customers, is ridiculous on it's face. You stop, start a new project with the new engine, and painstakingly port assets over, one by one. Especially if you're trying to change engines to avoid legal obligations, and a single file could be incriminating. Even in smaller projects like Daikatana and Duke Nukem: Forever, this process took over half a year. Even porting KSP to a newer version of Unity was a major endeavor. They left old code there, either deliberately or just because the devs don't know how anything works, and they're afraid to break it. The management is just crossing fingers, hoping that Lumberyard being a development of CryEngine will conceal this fact.

I just spent about two hours fighting unfinished Bloodborne enemies and bosses that are left in the game, and it felt not only more like a game but also more polished than anything I have ever seen from SC.....and all this stuff never was polished because it was cut from a game that sometimes is known for letting stuff clip through the geometry

Wow. Their new format plans say a lot. Ship Shape as a weekly fixture says “We really need to juice ship sales and we’re not doing enough commercials as is so let’s just plan on 52 more a year.” The return of Reverse the Verse starring Devs says a lot, too. (Dammit thread intern we were suggesting that 2 years ago because OBVIOUS. Do you ever pass along the constructive criticism? Or just the staff Chris and Sandi throw fits about?) So Tony Z. seems especially focused. Oh, hey, did he just break the news that Mining, which last year Chambers said was coming for 3.0, but Chris said the year before was coming in 3.1, is now pushed back to 3.2? Well I guess that’s progress. Correction, he said they’d “try to get this out” for 3.2. So they’ve got a fallback if need be. Also interesting, the Server Mesh plans get aired anew. If they’ve spoken of “hundreds and hundreds of servers” for each solar system before, I guess I’ve missed it. I actually really liked the latter segment where Mike Jones talked about getting 3.0 out over the holidays. Mostly because he’s repeatedly so generous with crediting his team. Singling out Ahmed Shaker (“a one man army”) and repeatedly praising their team (“they’re just so good”) is the polar opposite of hearing Sandi and her “It filters from the top” crap, which came about as she heard Batgirl praising just how good Chelsea (and maybe Alexis?) had been as concierge handlers. Sandi has talked crap elsewhere about not being able to find good marketing people; they apparently don’t measure up to the exacting standards of a Master, right? Note to the Thread Intern: Tell Sandi and Chris the goons said, “good leaders actually lift their subordinates up, not push them down and hog the credit due them.” Make sure you credit the thread with that blasphemy (otherwise you might get fired for insubordination for such radical talk) Foo Diddley posted:Speaking of which, where is that guy Oh I’m sure he’s hanging out somewhere.

CrazyTolradi posted:Honestly the best thing to come out of SC is AdzAdama's hilarious and weird as gently caress artwork. I hope he never stops. That guy has had many peaks. One such masterpiece is ET reaching out to touch the flaccid looking cock mushroom while adorned in festive gear. They should hire him as an artist because at that point Star Citizen may become something very unique in this world. That crazy guy has more creativity in his insane little pinkie than CR does in his entire fraudulent body.

G0RF posted:Wow. Their new format plans say a lot. That clip reminded me of something. One thing that I've noticed over the past year (and you all have as well, I'm sure) is the big push to "emergent gameplay" which honestly should tell someone everything they need to know about Star Citizen. Even way back during the kickstarter, Star Citizen was billed as being a sandbox, but one rich in deep lore and narrative. Backers (myself included) were excited about how different this would be than the "one faceless spaceman among millions" style of Elite. Chris told us that all the NPCs would have their own lives, their own jobs and tasks. Star Citizen would be the perfect blending of a big sandbox and a rich narrative, giving players freedom without making players feel like just another number. Kickstarter posted:Chris Roberts has always wanted to create one cohesive universe that encompasses everything that made Wing Commander and Privateer / Freelancer special. A huge sandbox with a complex and deep lore allowing players to explore or play in whatever capacity they wish. That universe is Star Citizen. Slowly, like a creeping illness, that has been chipped away and replaced with "emergent gameplay" because they've realized they don't have the capability to make a new WoW without instances. They just don't have the skill or manpower, and quite frankly even if they did, that rich narrative is at odds with other design choices they've made. The walls separating Star Citizen's future (imagined) gameplay from Elite's current gameplay are crumbling, sinking into a sea of excuses. Backers - of course - will tell you differently if you say this, but one look at the way they defend the game not being fun shines a light on their acceptance of emergent gameplay as king. There will be no rich narrative, no complex lore for backers to interact with, because there can't be. What lore and narrative exists will do so as window dressing on Just Another Sandbox Game. Those pirates that interdicted you while you were trying to complete your trade run? Spawned just for you, with no reason or thought given as to your haul or location. Because that's the easiest way to do it, just like Elite. Now you'll "make your own fun" in the 'Verse, because you have to. The Old Gods are dead, all hail Procgen.

bandaid.friend posted:Each time you suggest someone in the thread might be communicating in code, some poor bastard at star citizen gets told to go through every post again to look for secret messages. That's mean! I’m actually a high level CIG employee. What you don’t know is that I actually have been communicating in code since I began posting. To know my secrets code, you count the letters from post 1, divide that by the word count of post 2, then subtract the number of punctuations from post 3, to give you the letter you are looking for in post 4. Then rinse and repeat that process.

Amazon didn't "buy" it from Crytek, or Crytek won't be able to continue licensing it. That's not how that actually works in software. Amazon has a CE 3.7 license - just like CIG - but with sub-license rights, and the right to build their own engine from it. All the things that, as per 2.1.2 and 2.4 of the GLA, that CIG can't do. And also, they don't need to display the logos or any of that. This is what Amazon paid $50-70M for. ---------------- D_Smart fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Jan 11, 2018 |

The comments on there are so ridiculous; the SC community is comprised of some hosed up people (well, duh) I'm a ginger and have no soul so it's ok for me to say this: Not to take advantage of your disability, but can't we like #WeSupportStreetroller movement and tag a bunch of those groups that follow these support movements just to spotlight how lovely the community is? I don't do much social media stuff but that would be hilarious and another way to just pour gasoline on the fire Keep it up, Goon.

Actual existing games post: Finally finished Uncharted 3 today and picked up Uncharted 4. Apparently there's a january sale going on too, so I also nabbed Horizon: Zero Dawn Complete Edition. Didn't even total the cheapest SC starter pack. Only problem is that I don't know where I'll find the time to actually finish them both. Uncharted is just a shortish linear action romp, I guess, but HZD seems pretty meaty. This is a problem I would not have had I invested in Star Citizen. Credit where credit is due.
