It's guaranteed that SC has basically no optimization at all, as the application is just a crude front for a funding vehicle. They even spin this as a positive, implying that the performance is bad because of "fidelity". You can cut the performance of an application by any amount just by adding one unnecessary computation. Some things they're definitely screwing up: Almost a gigabyte of data an hour. That's just nuts.

SomethingJones posted:It's done G0rf, we're watching it circling the drain. I get that the direction is downward and the promised destination unreachable. It’s been downward for a long time. But watch a penny in a parabolic funnel, and see how centripetal force can extend and drag out a downward spiral for a long long time if other forces don’t disrupt the motion. The end has been called so many, many times over the past two years and yet here we are, watching it go round and round, slooooooooowly getting lower with each rotation. Yet still it moves. Calamitous ends are always possible. External forces (lawsuits, for example) can bring them about, and Derek will surely pop-in to tell me “it’s coming, two weeks” and he may be right. But barring outside forces disrupting the centripetal force, you might find the spiral goes longer than you think. Many more benefit from a soft descent than a sudden fall, and acting in concert they can protect the momentum and protract the spiral. Employees can be laid off, offices consolidated, new monies found, more time borrowed. The fatally wounded would sooner improvise tourniquets than race to suicide because hope springs eternal, where there’s life there’s hope, where there’s a will there’s a way and other cliches. SOTA is dead, dead by any standard by which it might once have been deemed alive. Yet still it lives, and it may for years more. Lifeless, empty, dead in spirit but not in letter. In present company, I tend to probably come across as more generous than some. But I keep myself open to the spectacular muddle, and I don’t discount the possibility of counteracting forces that surprise to the upside. They are usually discounted in contrarian company, yet here we are, two years after The Doom was declared yet only The Dumb came and it stayed. Don’t assume from any of this that I think ”maybe, just maybe Chris just turn this baby around!” because that’s not what I’m saying and it’s never what I’ve said. Putting aside the technical hurdles, putting aside the financial burden, putting aside the legal threats, the deepest of all Star Citizen’s failures are existential and rooted in Chris Roberts blindness to Game Design itself. He built Assets as his foundation and centered meaning in their ownership like the Car Salesman he truly is at heart. He subordinated every virtuous, invisible necessity required to create Fun! to The Visual and Fidelitious like the Film Director he tell himself that he is. No true Game Designer would do either yet it is all he has done for 5 years straight. He mistook the things one can look at for that which is vital, that which can engage the mind and heart, and like the man who hit the knee and offered a ring and a lifetime promise because he thought he’d found True Love in the pendulous breasts of a vacuous, loveless, joyless, careless woman, he has proven his own worth and resigned himself to failure from the start. Whether it ends in flames and calamity tomorrow or two years hence as a joyless prison where fleet-owning, fun-hating asset fetishists in ever dwindling numbers toil about in ritualized activities that affirm to themselves the wisdom of their purchases, it seems to have secured its place in gaming history already as the greatest squandered opportunity in a lifetime. And just as he heaped congratulation upon congratulation upon himself during Star Citizen’s assent, the blame will be parceled back to him in equal measure in posterity. (That’s my $0.02 anyway.)

Baldness posted:Shitizenwank Redemption please.... Oh, I saw that! It was okay, a little sad. There's a fight scene in the cafeteria that practically clips through the screen! 2 and a half space bulldozers out of 5. From the brilliant mind of Chris Roberts posted:Judge: Chris Roberts, your files say you've completed five percent of an ambitious game development. Do you feel it's been refactored? (you might have meant the other famous quote, though?) BEWARE SPOILERS posted:In 2018, Chris Roberts escaped from Star Citizen. All they found of him was a muddy floormat from a limited edition Porsche, a tube of toupee glue, and an old black turtleneck, drat near worn down to nothing. I remember thinking it would take a company six hundred years to get so much money without a game. Old Chris did it in less than six. Oh, Chris loved space. I imagine it appealed to his vacuous nature. An empty space here, million years of nothing there. Space is the absence of pressure and time. That's all it takes really, pressure, and time. That, and a big goddamn jpeg. Like I said, in game development a man will do most anything to keep his backers occupied. Turns out Chris's favorite hobby was totin' their dollars into his personal account, a few ships at a time. I guess after Ben was walled up in his office, Chris decided he'd been there just about long enough. Chris did like he was told, buffed those shoes to a high mirror shine. The backers simply didn't notice. Neither did I... I mean, seriously, how often do you really look at a man's shoes? Trilobite fucked around with this message at 07:12 on Jan 14, 2018 |

The GLA uses the term "Exclusive", then we must accept one of two possibilities. 1. Star Citizen has exclusive rights to CryEngine, therefore nothing else in the world can use CryEngine. 2. Star Citizen must exclusively use CryEngine as its base, therefore switching to any other engine would break the GLA. Since 1 cannot be true, seeing as how many other games use CryEngine...

After the OBLITERATOR-class dreadnought goes on sale with the slogan "the best ship winners can buy" goes on sale for $5,000, I expect the "the game is not pay to win!" posts to become around 20% of the total posts in reddit, with 60% being "it's an alpha", 10% being "Well, I have great performance and fun", 9% "first, I must say that I love this game over anything else in the world but...", and the final one percent people asking how to lift-off.

I look forward to this brave new world where "rare" doesn't mean any kind of limited availability. It's almost like these people are slowly beginning to suspect that they should have been asking some questions about these ship sales all along, and trying to get clear answers about what this game they've been pumping money into is actually going to be like. If they had, CIG might have been forced to either admit that they're charging hundreds of dollars for a ship because it's the price an idiot would pay for one ("to fund development!") and that if the game is ever released and wants to have a healthy userbase, getting ships or other items can't take months and months of tedious grind and the 'value' of those ships is going to be absolutely negligible. Or CIG might admit that what they're almost certainly going to do is bury all progress under months and months of tedious grind, just so the whales who paid thousands of dollars don't have tantrums at the thought that their ultra-expensive space chariot has an actual value of less than a buck, even if it means pretty much nobody is ever going to want to play. (Hey, at least the framerate will be better, finally.)

A thought on 'external forces' - CIG have created these by their own action/inaction. CIG created the Dereks, the Streetrollers and the Skaddens just as they created the Joe Blobers, the Lazrins and the cult of hating Derek Smart.

Some things they're definitely screwing up: pro post. In bold is the most mind-blowing one. I couldn't believe it when I saw the IFCS code in that bugsmashers. With a straight face Bugshmasherman casually mentioned how his client has to calculate the real-time physics of every other player on the server. I thought I was gonna poo poo. Does he even know that physics processing is usually the most computationally taxing part of a game? Then again, this is CIG. They break all boundaries. I have no doubt their "Atmospheric Fluid Dynamic Argon Processing Engine" is orders of magnitude more expensive than dumb old physics.
