why does the stupid wehraboo keep bringing up Derek's games?

He's a weapons grade fuckwit, a joyless enigma machine of a logic bot. For some reason defending a poo poo tier uber generic space game means so much to him he drags all the tired cliches out and finally went down the 'well blah blah cancer' route like the predictable, tired, white noise twat he is.

It sickens me to think about how the FOIP demo failed. Perhaps the guy using it really was having a stroke and it was relayed properly in fidelity.

Bad news?

That it took two years to get NMS to anyplace near what is promised for release and it's still not all there with a ton of repeated flora and fauna? Yeah good on Hello Games to continue to try to get us what was promised (and yes, I own and played the game)?

No Man's Sky is irrelevant, but it's actually on sale and has been for two years. This isn't going to be released for another couple of years, and it's still a buggy mess. The problem is that fund raising has to continue while the football is getting tossed down the road constantly. You're an apologist for an advance order scheme at the moment.

Consider that NMS launched as V1.0. SC is still going to have post-launch issues, so the claims that it's going to be perfect on release are as substantial as Chris' programming chops.

We still have a fairly massive list of things that were promised during the initial kickstarter that haven't made it to the actual game, and yet, since the kickstarter, multiple ships have been added without the complementary mechanics. In fact, comparing last year with this year, the plot of the mission was largely the same, but they've gotten rid of the 'space' in their 'space game'.

I know you're trolling, so don't worry about replying; there are bigger fish to land in the forum.

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Q-QFvFHxg

Dude, this has the pacing of a bad TV show - 24 minutes for you to get to a fighter. An _hour_ to run a single mission? You can bet your rear end it's not going to resemble the final product.

Hey, where do i go to buy the newest price-of-a-used-car capital ship that wouldn't be in the game until 2021 at the earliest? Finally showing the first trailer and refusing to provide a release date four years after the game was supposed to be completed has me really excited. That quarter billion dollars was well spent and i can't wait to see what they do with the next quarter billion.

I mean he's not been imprisoned in Alaska yet, so he's not the worst Citizer we've had so far.

Edit:
I think Lazrin liked loving with Derek more than he defended SC, so when Derek was banned Lazrin lost interest.

If you think there is a secret SQ42 build that can run a space battle smoothly (as shown in the few seconds of the trailer) and yet they decided to go with boring "trains and 2 hours for a dull fetch quest" for their CitCon instead, just slap yourself across the face for me.

To be fair, the trains were new. The walking and fetching things is still in the 'vertical slice', which is intended to showcase all the game systems.

At their biggest (only?) event of the year CIG managed to show two hours of gameplay that featured no space combat and only a single mission. They followed this up with several hours of Dreams.ppt, a self-aggrandizing declaration of how close they are to release bolstered by some rather tortuous definitions of progress, and finished off with a trailer that extensively featured old content. For this you have thousands of fans singing Chris's praises.

Is Star Citizen a scam? Not unless it turns out CIG actively lied in order to maintain backer confidence. I think Theranos is a good comparison. Theranos actively lied about sales and vendors in order to maintain investor confidence in the company. They hid the fact that their core technology was vaporware. CIG is something different; they're open about how loving terrible things are. When you watch a two hour grind to get $4 worth of spacebux that still requires blatant cheating you are seeing exactly what the developers intend. This isn't like Sim City 2013 where they hid how bad things were behind a limited demo. What you see is explicitly what you get.

I admit, I was wrong. Chris didn't lie. They're working on a space sim. A literal simulation, in space. It's going to be as realistic as Chris can envision. Whether or not that's fun is up to the player, but people spend thousands of dollars on train simulator DLC so who am I to judge.

Your point is what exactly, then? That since SC (boring demo) is a different game from SQ42 (exciting fake battle in trailer), it's better to show the boring rather than the fun?

Also the only time they showed any space poo poo was when some devs were talking about making Gas clouds or whatever.

Lastly they bought the tech for their Facial DNA system or whatever so they didn't even make that poo poo. They just figured out how to Frankenstein it into the game. One of the Devs said that they nearly had to drop it because they couldn't get it to work with the game.

They literally bought something that they couldn't even get to work right.

Lol no their facial DNA system is a completely different system they bought vs the FOIP one they also bought.

I'd really love to see a chart of poo poo they have actually made them selves vs bought and somehow managed to frankenstien into the engine.
