Yay! Only working Anime Gun Car out of three in my probie. :3:

And there have been several games that have really made their story mesh seamlessly with the gameplay. The first season of The Walking Dead game by Telltale, Spec Ops: The Line, Darkest Dungeon, heck despite the fandumb blowback, Undertale is deffo this as well...all of these games have a central narrative that is propped up in a huge way by the gameplay in such a way that it'd be lesser for it if it weren't a game.

It's also kinda the reason as to why I'm completely onboard with dancey cat, crobear and all this poo poo being more the official story of SC for me, than whatever dribble they write out ingame - because the bugs and bullshit preclude it from being anything other than this sort of insanity.

You're kind of in luck here, because this stuff is the game.

Really nobody is going to care about the theme of Star Citizen if it goes anywhere. Nobody cares about the melodrama of the instrumentally paced heart tugging Sq42 story (unless you're literally Chris Roberts).

People want this to be Eve Online except action based. I don't even know what Eve is about except space ships and trading and betrayal of players. Nobody cares about the story except it's supposed to be in space, super action, and everything Eve is except even more.

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.
It makes me sick, honestly. I swear "living breathing (x)" is turning into a trigger. Steve Bender didn't even want to call what they're doing AI because it was too advanced in its ambition to be reduced to such a lowly term. CIG's characters are living and breathing and practically sentient beings. They're not just programmed entities behaving according to parameters set by their programmers.

I'm sure Bender is popular with Chris simply by virtue of being an unironic amplifier of the same hyperbole Chris has slung out for more than half a decade. They'll have gameplay when they have a vertical slice for Squadron that players can play through and measure against the satisfactions already experienced in other story-centric titles with ground and/or ship combat and branching narratives. They can keep postponing that true unveiling indefinitely and have many incentives to do so, because right now, an hour long mission in squadron is very surely mostly a walking and flying simulator with very light, unsatisfying combat moments, stupid puzzles, and long rear end rides on a monorail so you can see where the money went. Oh how those assets will shine in those non-gameplay moments, and surely there will be some like Batgirl who will just marvel at the beauty of their third iteration on glass shading tech and say "THIS is what next level gaming is all about."

But no, it's not. It's just next level watching Chris is focused on and that's what you're going to get just like we did with Wing Commander 4. SIT. WATCH. LISTEN. MARVEL.

Behold what a quarter of a billion dollars has produced, a full motion interactive movie based on a plodding script about Winning Your Daddy's Love (SPOILER) only to lose him in a sacrificial third act heartbreaker that Chris believes will make gamers feel emotions never before felt in gaming because LUKE SKYWALKER DIED TO SAVE YOU BUT NOT BEFORE YOU EARNED HIS RESPECT AND HE FINALLY BOTHERED TO LEARN YOUR NAME.

But nobody else is even trying! Everyone else is crapping out Call of Dooky 8 and Battlefail 9. Publishers aren't willing to take chances, and Star Citizen backers have given them a middle finger--we want amazing games instead of console ports. I for one am willing to wait as long as needed for a polished game rather than the rush job publishers crank out every year. You snowflakes need to learn patience. "What polish?" you asked? You morons don't even know what "Alpha" means. "A feature-complete release?" Ok Derek Shart, you're reported, but let me lay this sick burn--everybody knows this game is coming out. CIG puts out videos every week showing amazing progress and when you come crawling back to this game if I ever run into your ship I'll make sure you're "taken care of." Now begone troll.

Well, if it is any consolation, the people going into the anime coffins are usually dead first, and as such does not feel the painful sting of embarrassment.

The fremdshamen is so great the embarrassment surpasses death itself. While they play their trumpets, other angels stop playing and slowly look at the anime angel until they are the only one playing. Then after a while they too stop playing and hang their head.

If they went the other way, all of hell gets this televised to them and for a while, the whole place laughs at this one person and some sub-demon comes up to them and says, "You make me disgusted to be here, and I usually love my job."

Ok I get it, you can't put together a cohesive sentence with a start, middle, and end. Your style is just to mumble out the info, "roadmap... Squadron 42... evocati... bugs..." but this is the most successful Star Citizen streamer according to patreon. Backers eat this up.

I know this will never happen, but at least back in the day they put some effort into their lies. I think there were even photoshops of their blade design for that ship.

Now a days, they just lie and say they'll do stuff but don't even make a picture of it. :(

Come on, CIG, go back to lying with a little effort behind it. :allears:

I feel like this stuff started to die off around the hull series. Like prior to that they had the ship with the farm and the science pods, but they showed pictures of how it will definitely work.

Then they got to the hull E or something with like two billion spaces for cargo, and they didn't even show pictures of how it'll be loaded. Now a days we know it'll be loaded by hand, over the course of 3 months and 50 players working non stop together in tedious unity and pleasure.

No, you also get the warm feeling that you're not alone, and other people, just like you, thought it would be a good idea.

* Single charismatic leader.
* People always seeming constantly happy and enthusiastic. Especially if you discover that they have been told to act that way for the potential new recruits.
* Instant friends.
* If you are told who you can or cannot talk to or associate with.
* They hide what they teach.
* Say they are the only true group, or the best so why go anywhere else.
* Hyped meetings, get you to meetings rather than share with you.
* Experiential rather than logical.
* Asking for money for the next level.
* Saying that they have to make people pay for it because otherwise they will not appreciate it. This is of course a very silly reason, plenty of people are able to appreciate things which they did not pay for.
* They do not allow their teachings or practices to be questioned. If you question, then automatically the group assumes that something is wrong with you. It can never be the case that anything is wrong with the group’s practices or teachings. Often they will try to shut you down by accusing you of having a “bad attitude”.
* They will push you to obey by using guilt. They will demand complete “submission” to the group, its leaders and its teachings. They will do this by making you feel absolutely rotten about yourself. They will ridicule you and attack any weakness you might have (or invent weaknesses you might have if they can’t find any). Their goal is to break your will by causing you mental anguish.
