Polygon is also a non factor though.

e: A community manager for Blizzard or EA having written the Book of Loaf probably wouldn't rate a front page on IGN or Gamespot so one for a kickstarter non game in an extremely niche genre is definitely not going to.

If the CEO or something had written it different story but not a community manager.

um no. The community manager (nintendo) that was masquerading as a high priced call girl was all over the news so I see this as no different. And when there is a windmill to tilt at the games media is all over it. Especially misogynistic, racist, diatribes.

It was big news in the small news of gaming sites, with Kotaku and Polygon putting in their pieces. But it wouldn’t likely have been if she’d been community manager for an indie studio. But I suspect a lot of gamers don’t give a crap about daily industry scuttlebutt and don’t read that stuff. Given the politicization of gaming (and culture more broadly), I’d not either but for the fact that the industry has always been interesting to me.

There's no way that's what Croberts was actually intending, but it explains every line of Old Man dialogue. Of course he's convinced he's right and the engineer who just checked his fighter is wrong, the poor kid is probably trained on quantum drives and knows nothing about fighters. Of course he doesn't give a gently caress who you are, he doesn't give a gently caress about anything now, he's just filling in time until he can retire on full pension.

I kinda want a game based on that character now. A grizzled fighter jock, pissed off at still being a lieutenant despite being in his 60s, forced to save the galaxy one more time because everyone around him is a fresh-out-of-the-academy kid.

Yes.

Also it makes sense for the engineer guy too. They’re on a ship that has a fighter compliment of like, 2 ships and maybe one spare? That engineer probably isn’t exactly the best fighter engineer in the world. If the ace fighter pilot tells you something, you’ll probably instantly second guess yourself because hell, you work on destroyer engines not fighter jet engines mostly.

If you wrap your mind around the fact that everybody is totally out of their element, everything starts to make more sense.

Hamill: Ace pilot assigned basically alone to a destroyer and your wingman is some kid fresh out of school. You’re going to be real loving pissed and probably upset at whoever did that to you.

Engineer guy: works on big ship systems, knows next to loving nothing about the basically useless fighters they keep inside a converted cargo bay.

You: Staying frosty.


The best parts will be the briefing rooms where you know there will be like 12 pilots in there, but nobody will ever comment on the fact the ship can only launch 2 fighters.

Also all the big wig commanders aboard a poo poo tier destroyer instead of being aboard a bigger ship with a giant convoy you can command.

I hope the script is salty and grim and everybody is sad because this makes perfect sense, but not for any of the reasons CR thinks they should be salty. :cheers:

I'd love to see this - Star Citizen to turn into a leprous splotch on the internet's underside, just wheezing and gasping along year after year, offering poo poo-tier non-gameplay to the internet's worst denizens. "I'M HAVING FUN MORE THAN I EVER HAVE" spouts Batgirl and Lethality until the end of time in a space-based voluntary internet quarantine zone.

I wonder what would cut Chris' ego more - SC's outright cessation of existence, or SC's inevitable destiny as complete poo poo coming to fulfillment.

Quavers' Snacksized Review: Why Sleeping Dogs is better than Star Citizen
  1. SD is a third-person action game.
    SC is not a game.
  2. SD released, had updates, and a definitive edition.
    SC is gonna get CryRekt.
  3. SD happily plays at 60FPS on High settings with my RX570 and lovely Phenom II.
    SC, well... :lol:
  4. SD's controls are easy to pickup and learn.
    SC's controls have a steep learning curve, and can annoying change between patches.
  5. SD detected my controller straight away.
    SC needs manual controller binding.
  6. SD had a starter-mission bug with my controller, so I quickly swapped to KB+M and carried on.
    SC needs yet more manual KB+M binding.
  7. SD's graphics are good, with defined and recognisable characters and a variety of colourful, atmospheric environments.
    SC's graphics are spectacularly detailed but they're either black or grey or brown, and very bland.
  8. SD's motion captured movement is fluid throughout player actions.
    SC is just janky.
  9. SD has smooth transitions between story cutscenes and gameplay, which all helps the interesting story play out.
    SC doesn't have any story so is uninteresting.
  10. SD's made-up language "Mandarin" is fully voiced with a striking subtitled charset, and feels like a real form of communication.
    SC supposedly has made-up languages: they look and sound like bollocks, yet aren't even in the game.
  11. SD has East-Asian looking characters with ninja-like skills.
    SC oddly has turtle-looking East Asians with no ninja skills, but they aren't in the game anyway.
  12. SD's melee combat is quick, with an easy-to-learn variety of unlockable attacks, counters, combos, and some use the environmental to dramatic effect.
    SC has a broken melee attack.
  13. SD has you playing an undercover cop whose sister was killed, and you're in a Police-authorised war against gang lords..
    SC spawns random, faceless, janky pirate space ships.
  14. Your SD character is a fighting badass, but he may or may not be a dick.
    SC has zero character depth.
  15. SD's first boss-like baddie brags that years ago, your now-dead sister gave him his first blowjob.
    SC doesn't have any proper baddies, let alone bosses, nor creepy sex stories from any timeframe, but its fans want STDs and furries.
  16. SD's combat has you regularly taking on 4-8 enemies simultaneously, and nicely balances exciting, challenging and rewarding.
    SC's combat is usually against 1-2 enemies, drearily plodding, and feels like luck gives you the win, not skill.
  17. SD has gender equality.
    SC is a penis party for middle-aged incels.
  18. SD's free-roaming areas have dozens of unique NPCs going about their day, chatting, playing, sometimes bickering.
    SC has a few broken NPCs that walk into/through walls or float in the air.
  19. SD allows you to hand in missions to NPCs while covered in blood, cos your gang rules the area - absolute badasses.
    SC's missions have you carrying boxes from brown world to grey station, and if your game doesn't crash the mission NPC ignores you.
My screenshot, titled "Subsumption! Atmosphere! Immersion! A living universe!"



To be continued when I've had more time to play, sorry...

Counterpoint: Both games let you buy yummy noodles
