Some retorts from some of you guys include stupid poo poo like car salesman or sandi's tickleporn as if they are real things, no matter the notion that those pages were altered or that the actress happens to look like Sandi. Are you trolling or do you genuinely not believe these things? The salesman thing, fine..but the other one..really? Jesus dude....

To be honest I'm enjoying all the reviewers and commenters who are having meltdowns over KCD, as the game seems even more obtuse to them after ten years of icons, arrows, hints, hand-holding and button spamming no-skill combat games. What's mad about the Mack video I posted is he loving hated the thing in beta and posted poo poo about it on their forum, but now that he's actually learnt it, gotten half-good at combat and poured himself into it he's loving it. I think there's something to be said for that. You know what, it looks like those Warhorse guys set out to make exactly the kind of game they delivered, and as soon as it gets another patch or two I'm buying the fucker, a crazy medieval sword romp with full on sperg mechanics bring it right the gently caress on It can't be that bad after playing Elite and watching NOTHING HAPPENING for an entire evening, plus at least it has tits

It makes no sense to me either dude, these guys talk about Star Citizen, tweet about it, make podcasts and videos about it as if it's a real game And as someone else pointed out MoMA goes for the weak stuff, ie Sandi's tickle porn when she's went on a podcast and told everyone she has TWO MARKETING DEGREES lmao

Yeah, I’m a lot deeper in KCD and I can’t put it down after being super skeptical at first. When you get full plate armor and walk a around town for the first time you feel like a loving tank. Better yet when you get in combat with a group of four bandits and they aren’t even layin a finger on you, arrows just bounce right off. I’m jockeying for position and trading swings with two bandits, trying to not catch a lucky arrow, and the loving dude just whiffs an arrow right into the back of the head of his boss, who immediately keels over dead. I bum rush the archer and the rest was history, as the rag dolls slid down the hill we were fighting on. It’s really something else, man, poo poo just pops off and the combat is actually engaging.

But after getting that sorted, it'll be nice to play a 1st person RPG without the usual magic crap and with a story at least somewhat based on RL events. Also nice to see actually realistic architecture in a videogame for a change. I think the reason why shitizens might hate it so much is actually the fact that it looks sooo similar in terms of what it aimed for (realism, mocap voice acting, big expansive world,...) but unlike CIG Warhorse actually shipped in a pretty solid timeframe for a brand new company, while veteran games designer Crobblers faffs about in his 6th year of an alpha with no end in sight sans the lawsuit going REALLY badly for him.

[quote="ManofManyAliases" post="481359430"] I'm sure they have hundreds of people sitting idle with no roadmap, project plan, direction, etc. I'm starting to think you do work at CIG because that's pretty much bang on the money .

Really though if that place has 240 employees in it then pretty much every car would need to contain 4 people.

There's the new studio in Derby that moved to larger offices too. I think all this is dumb as they could be counting contractors, Turbulent etc. They could have 1000 staff, if they can't produce anything with a used car salesman in charge, which they obviously can't, it doesn't really matter.

SomethingJones posted:They have 2 x 6,000 sq ft floors of a building in Wilmslow, there aren't 300 people in it. In fact the tenancy information (which I admit could be out of date) shows them as occupying only the ground floor and part of the first floor, comes out at around 8,000 sq ft. Someone mentioned that they expanded Derby from 4 employees to a full office of x employees. Maybe 20 there now? That would be part of Foundry 42. That would get you to maybe 190 employees on the payroll between those two locations. I don't believe there is any way for the 284 to include Germany so I don't have a satisfactory answer. Could there be a bunch of F42 employees embedded somewhere else? Cubic Motion? Perhaps they do have people working from home? Perhaps they have a shadowy development team that comes in at 6pm in the UK and works through the night to compound their multiple time-zone productivity. Perhaps we're treading on the toes of Charlie Hall's next investigative journalism piece here.

There could easily be 60 in Derby, not linking them but there's a couple of dozen on facebook, there might still be UK based subcontractors like Cubic Motion too, you might be counting part-time staff too. Even when CIG has said something concrete that turned out to be the opposite of the truth, there's no real kick back from Citizens. To me, taking a vague statement about staff numbers when you don't know exactly what their definition of "staff" is, nor are entirely sure of location included and trying to prove it wrong is pointless. There's no reason to lie when only you know exactly what you mean anyway. AP fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Feb 17, 2018 |
