The Titanic posted:There was one. The game is just as much of a space "sim" from what I have seen thus far. Yes, FPS will happen and be important, but I think the balance should be decent between the two for SQ42. In the PU? I'm willing to bet there will be quite a few people that never venture beyond the bulkheads of their ships. What kind of game? A space "sim" with the ability to get out of my ship, interact with other people and NPC's as needed and then get back in my ship. I just plan on doing escort missions and anti-piracy patrol style stuff.

Chris shambles out on stage to a wave of applause from furries and pedophiles. His pale, sweaty, disheveled visage stares out blankly. Chris Roberts: THAN YOO!! AA RIIII!! AAAUUOOHH! ANIIAAAHH! The applause intensifies. The smell in the room is absolutely unbearable. Chris Roberts: Uhhh, ahhhh .... AAAAHHHHHHH Chris waves his hands in random directions. He moves from left to right on the stage, pacing oddly. There is definitely a load in his pants. He points to a Powerpoint slide. Chris Roberts: AAUUAAAHHHHH!!! A standing ovation amongst the audience members who still have the physical fortitude to stand upright. The remaining backers click their asthma inhalers with solidarity.

EvilMerlin posted:And yet I've seen that 35 dollar Aurora take down a 180 dollar SuperHornet because the person flying understood 6DoF and was just a better "pilot"... And I have seen Zangief beat Guile in SF2:WW because the Guile player was a sleepy toddler and the Zangief player was Daigo Umehara. It was a close fight and the toddler managed to win a round but, in the end, the most skilled player won because he understood tick throws more comprehensibly.

Sarsapariller posted:I think we should start being pro SC in shifts so the alt and troll accounts don't feel the need to come in here and do it for us. I joined them and joined spectrum and tried to convince them to let me play it without buying anything because I just wanted to live on a planet and didn't like space. Unfortunately it didn't go well. Apparently I absolutely must buy a ship to play the game. Even though they're making the game not about space ships anymore. I don't understand!

TheAgent posted:I think they'll care when the price is announced, because I almost bet its going to be different for each person Individualized pricing is actually a real thing in lovely money pit mobile F2P games and some AAA publishers already have toyed with the idea. Algorithms will actually increase or decrease prices based on your previous spending history, so that whales (and people with literal spending addictions) will get milked dry for all they can pay. I wouldn't put it past CIG to do something like that hidden behind their whale paywalls.

Bayonnefrog posted:I'm an accounting finance person and I still can't figure out how they are even able to keep the lights on let alone develop any game. With the small amount of monthly $$ they get based on the tracker and the 400+ employees they have to pay I have no idea how they even make payroll. Budgets must be tight. They have a lot of other funding, loans/private investors etc... But no one has any clue how much. Everything about their fiances is carefully hidden and obscured by shell companies. Of course they were supposed to make all of it public if they didn't release a game by 2016, according to the original terms of service, but they arbitrarily rewrote them on the eve of this happening.

Sorry, but it's more like... You get out of your ship, walk five minutes, pass customs, take an elevator, walk five minutes, wait three minutes for the train to arrive, wait four minutes until it reaches station Sandi-Er, walk two minutes, wait two minutes for the orange line train, wait six minutes, walk three minutes, take an elevator, walk two minutes, get into a taxi cab, wait two minutes, finally reach the bar where your bald quest - giver is, wait on line fifty minutes (it's Friday night and your character is not attractive enough), and finally learn that he needs twelve space-boar asses. So then you go back to your taxi, wait two minutes, walk two minutes, take an elevator, walk three minutes, wait two minutes, take the orange line train, wait six minutes, walk two (god this is exciting!) minutes, wait the minutes, take the train, wait four minutes, walk five minutes, take the elevator, pass security, walk five minutes, enter your ship, fly for five minutes, then you set your destination to the Corneria system and push the quantum travel button, wait four hours, then jump to the planet of the space bears, wait twenty minutes to reach the planet, then twenty to reach the space jungle, then you drop a $500,000 UEC bomb on it and the twelve bear asses appear. So you travel to the closest city, wait fifteen minutes, land, walk for two minutes, pass customs, take an elevator, walk for five minutes until you finally find a quest box to deposit the asses in. Ding-ding motherfucker! quest cleared! Your 3,200 UEC are in the wa... wait... he didn't pay!? Goddamn, you'll make the balls bastard pay! So you walk five minutes, take the elevator...

Plus, sort of mostly deaf so hopping on voice chat is like telling the blind to go read the newspaper.  I've thought about it with some goons but it's have to be a low population room because there'd be no way I'd last in a place with >1 person trying to speak at any single time.

If someone sends you a gift package all you have to do is email them and say “hey someone sent me a gift but my account was closed” and they’ll reopen it, at least in my experience. I actually asked if I needed to make a new one and the guy was like “nope your old account is back up now thanks bye”
