Jason Sextro posted:They actually believe that! That's the incredible thing. There are people who actually believe that Chris Roberts has developed something that others will want. I watched some of WTFOs stream today and man, they’ve got a ways to go. As it had 200+ viewers and probably was streaming in le CIG LA Space Cafe it naturally attracted at least a couple of CIG staff. WTFO was pretty cranky as framerates dropped sub 10fps and bugs met him at every moment of gamer agency. I don’t know why Sherman even bothers trying to steer narratives unless the fear is Chris will see a streamer snarking about performance and get mad if there isn’t some countervailing CIG force present assuring that itsallgood. Sherman was offering historical details on some ship design decisions of no particular consequence and Christian was joking about triangles. (Maybe there were others engaging, too - i wasn’t paying that close of attention.). Even before performance hit the wall, it was hard to watch. The numbing emptiness of the gameplay, the tedium of a nearly 100% passive player experience, is made all the more tiresome by WTFO’s wincingly bad taste in music. It could been 4K at 120fps and still been the most ponderous watch on twitch. Made me want to crank ELO’s I’m Alive just to get some goofy fun with a pulse on... It does make me wonder if there are people at CIG / Foundry who wish they’d stuck to the Landing zone vision of the first few years. They’d have far simpler problems to solve, it seems to me. I know the PG tech now include structure generation and theoretically the fleshing out of the ‘Verse could be made easier down the road but it doesn’t solve the much trickier and abstract problem of having meaningful play experiences. Travel is the core experience. The majority of player time spent in transit — either in ships or on feet. And it’s deathly dull, just as the Gamescom 2016 Eckhart Demo foreshadowed, only buggier. Only the nostalgiacs and ship collectors are likely to see this as a sufficient gameplay experience and the solution will NOT be the unpredictability of interdiction. That’s the high price of embracing PG and even Elite has only sorta mitigated the ponderousness. (Galnet Radio being the biggest advance.) I say Chris should skunkworks a team there on Operation: Waifu. I’m semi-serious. Throw some serious cash at designing an NPC companion with a thousand lines of affirmation that sits beside you on those long dull stretches saying things like “You are the best pilot in the galaxy!”, “it’s a privilege to be part of your crew”, or “I like a man who knows how to handle a gun.” Something, anything to inject life into that vacuum would help. A UEE radio station, a time-passing minigame like Gwent... Something to give the player’s brain more to engage with than just the thrills of watching a circle get bigger verrrrrrrrrrrrryyy slooooooooooowlyyyy... The Titanic posted:I wouldn't be surprised at cherry picked questions. Yeah. One isn’t allowed to remind Chris of things formerly promised. As Erris reminded us, “Things loving change!” Therefore one must never EVER hold today’s Chris to the claims of yesterday’s Chris. Chris deserves money “to make the game HE wants to make” and indeed, he has being doing nearly all of that except for the Game part. That said, it still does feel like there’s some constriction underway that even Chris feels. The only energy really detectable anywhere is dissatisfaction. Those still engaged with the game aren’t having the thrills long imagined and sold for the 3.0 experience and even the nice guys like BadNewsBaron aren’t pretending its not a disappointment. The subreddit tells tirekickers the game isn’t worth backing yet instinctively and few are sticking to last year’s “Wait for (X) patch — that’s when you’ll really see this coming together.” CIG even plans to poll backers again about priorities. It just adds another little data point in a suggestive picture of a once smug and complacent company now actually in a forced smile scramble to both squeeze out a little more cash and wear the unfamiliar mask of a company that actually cares what the community wants. It’s a strange and I’d imagine disquieting period for CIG. That said, I still think Lando will be tossing softballs tomorrow. Chris doesn’t swing at any other kind.

If anything the procedurally generated Crysis planet distraction has allowed CIG to limp along for another two or three years. It allowed the idiot cultists to dream bigger and distract themselves longer. Even if travel was a joy and space combat perfectly thrilling CIG could never have managed to generate one hundred solar systems of bespoke landing zones populated by unique, voice-acted NPCs. The impossibility of Chris' retarded vision was apparent in the 2012 pitch video.

CrazyTolradi posted:But Skyrim has more game play in one town than Star Citizen has in that crater, or even in the whole game. True dat. Chin posted:If anything the procedurally generated Crysis planet distraction has allowed CIG to limp along for another two or three years. It allowed the idiot cultists to dream bigger and distract themselves longer. I think Derek provided ample motive for cultists to double down on the turbobuying, even if they’d kept to the original vision. But Pupil to Planet definitely helped too. It gave Zealots the “take THAT, Elite Dangerous” weapon they needed and to many still seems like pure win. quote:Even if travel was a joy and space combat perfectly thrilling CIG could never have managed to generate one hundred solar systems of bespoke landing zones populated by unique, voice-acted NPCs. The impossibility of Chris' retarded vision was apparent in the 2012 pitch video. If travel was a joy and space combat a thrill, players would at least have incentives to do either. We’d see much higher levels of engagement, much higher viewerships on Twitch, and SC streamers wouldn’t identifiable by 1000 year stares and permawinces. There is precious little fun to be found so everyone not committed to the slog just keeps waiting for the inflection point where the fun begins. Still, I get your point. The lunacy is foundational with folly masquerading as high ambition from the start. 100 Star Systems with bespoke landing zones everywhere was never going to happen yet was the $6 million stretch goal. The 9 to 1 NPC ratio was arbitrary from the start yet became sacrosanct because “Chris has spoken.” Internally, I’d assume CIG Devs have looked at a lot those early Robertsian declarations, put the nuttier ones all in a line, and will shoot them one by one in the head just as they did “100 Star Systems at launch.” Chris has never really known what he wanted the Star Citizen experience to fully be besides BETTER THAN EVERY GAME EVER and he’s lurched from one incoherence to the next “selling the narrative” (and illusion of coherence) through highlight reels the whole time. He focused on selling compelling moments that are unburdened by constraint and disconnected from a design vision for the comprehensive play experience. The PG thing has its upsides which were obvious from the start. Its liabilities should’ve been equally obvious but one senses that wasn’t the case at all. Yet to watch those many minute descents to a moon’s surface is to feel the weight of them. Chris and Erin both are probably far too excited by the prospects of letting their new PG structure generation tool turn into their new “easy bake real estate oven” so they can make rental properties their new subscriptions, space condos their new luxury ships, and get into the protection racket business with Land Beacons. Who needs a game design vision when pathologized greed dictates the most sensible way forward?
