You know someone there knows for certain, probably several someones.

Having been a part of projects/companies that were highly dysfunctional and distressed, for me it’s equal parts “i enjoy the work,” “i like the people,” “i am not responsible for business outcomes,” and “in the end, everything fails, well all die, and the temperature of the universe is absolute zero for the rest of forever.”

The gold space suit is free after you spend $5,000. There's also a spaceship with gold trim around the $25,000 level. That’s insanely stupid. Who the hell thinks this looks anything but stupid in their super serious space video game that has no humor in it anywhere? May as well rip off some space sheets from a licensed image of a kids bedsheet set and photoshop out the watermarks and go lol look at how funny we are. Anyhow I’m glad it’s working well for them. I’m looking forward to the Hello Kitty edition.

I think the cycle of "this feature won't be in the game" --> sperg rage --> "actually it will be in the game, now we're having a ship sale to take advantage of this gameplay aspect" is a pretty dicey proposition, if that's what's going on but when has CIG ever said no to something promising some measure of short-term gain

That would be a brew house for crushing psychological stress.

You may see that as a reversal of their previously stated position on ship capture, which was itself a reversal of early statements... But all I hear are inflections, intonations, personalities, the sincerity. If you’d stop pointing out substantive issues you’d just might really appreciate the stylistic ones more. ManofManyAliases posted:I like when he gets all uppity and links 20 blogs. Erris of all people noted that female player characters are scheduled for end of year release yet Chris Roberts said that you could play Squadron as a female character or male. Is this not CIG telling everyone not to expect a 2018 release of Squadron? Do we even know what actress did the voice work for that? i assume since we’ve seen nothing about it that either the voice capture work is still ahead or (more likely) Chris, Haddock et al didn’t plan on a female player option up front. The gigantic Squadron script probably doesn’t have unique lines or branches depending on character gender. Drop in a female ragdoll and it still won’t have hip-sway. But maybe I’m wrong about that. I may have just missed it. G0RF fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Feb 1, 2018 |

It's worth noting that Lando said the change only applied to 3.0, 3.1, etc, they had made no change to the long term design, yet he never said a single word about what the long term design was. Whatever it is, it's not this, fear not chariot buyers.

CIG can completely change the mechanics of the game within days, back to back and backers aren't concerned in the slightest that this means they have no idea what the game will actually be at this point. Only that they have now been told a good thing to counteract a bad thing. Like, the curtain already fell. Everyone can see the guy who knows he was caught looking scared with his hands on the levers. The backers refuse to look at him and complain openly without acknowledging him until he starts moving the levers again to make them happy.

Is this not CIG telling everyone not to expect a 2018 release of Squadron? This is a great gently caress up. It's not just that Chris said you could play SQ42 as a female. You're supposed to, eventually, be able to play the persistent universe as a female character. The SQ42 campaign, upon completion, is supposed to set your character up with additional resources and status in the persistent universe (Citizenship is earned). They've clearly stated there will be some character reward carry over for completing the single player. Taken together, this would strongly imply you can play SQ42 as a female. Let's bet the SQ42 script, and all the media that have already been recorded, have no accommodation whatsoever for playing as a woman.

MilesK posted:This is a culmination of a few weeks of gameplay, inspired by Benny Henge. It gave me a lot of insight into how these missions function, I’ve been on approximately 36 of them. Blackbox collection missions have a certain zen and calmness which I enjoy. If anyone else wishes to contribute to the henge or visit it please get in touch. Hope to double its size by the next reset. I bet if you showed this guy a gif of almost anything in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, he would probably come unglued. If the epitome of your gameplay revolves around the concept of “look at the dumb poo poo I do in Skyrim after I’ve played it for 700 hours”, without the initial 700 hours of an actual game...you’re probably in some trouble somewhere.

It took them a year to stitch together identical hallways, badly scripted and completely locked-in lovely motion capture NPCs to walk by like you're on an animatronic ride at Disneyland, and gaming history's worst space-shooting mechanics. This in a demo that you had to practically crawl through to keep from crashing, and all of that edited together because it kept crashing anyway during recording. Completely linear experience because everything we saw over the holiday was literally everything they have, edited to make it look like it was working properly in-engine. They are literally years and years away from anything remotely playable, and what they do have is complete poo poo. Star Citizen has already failed, they just have to release the failure so everyone can see it. At this point they may as well just take their demo systems around the country and let people pay $2 a head at carnivals to peek behind a curtain to see Chris and his "game."

I don't know why I'm ruminating on that idiotic "Crytek didn't register the copyright" argument. I think it just baffles me. Let's say J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter, and kept it all to herself. Then she has people over for a dinner party, and somebody snoops through her poo poo and finds it. Then that person publishes it, reaps the rewards, and J.K. can't do anything about it because she didn't register the copyright? That's just not how copyright works. Copyright is automatic. Registering copyright is just a legal convenience for widely known properties.
