Oct Set 3 Editor's note: Still need to recap Citizencon 2018 which occurred early October. Just been busy laughing. Scruffpuff posted:* Reddit fantasizing about what will happen to their characters if they log-off while on a train * Getsuya posted:I’m a weaboo so I thought it would be fun to see what kinds of things Japanese gamers were saying about Star Citizen. What I discovered was that, though our countries and languages may be different, gamers are apparently the exact same everywhere. Just picking a few bits from the thread I read: posted:How will CIG deal with female NPCs? Sillybones posted:
Scruffpuff posted:
DigitalPenny posted:I think there is a place for backing risky games or ideas, my big issue with CIG is they not that they tried and failed. It is they have produced and thrown away vast quantities of quality work when they have tried and failed its swept under the carpet and not talked about. They appear to start over again and again while pretending like everything is going stellar, self-congratulate themselves on how amazing and open they are but only have sales to show for there efforts. It's just astounding how much support they get for this while they are lying and appear to be lining their own pockets. Strategic Tea posted:Also SC has no visual identity. Like, have you ever been on a semi professional art site like artstation or whatever with lots of Hollywood artists shopping for work? Ever notice that it's 90% soulless generic tat because they are focused on the digital work pipeline blah blah instead of any actual creativity? SC took all that and put it in a game. Grubby Hobo posted:In 2023: Morphix posted:doesn't have foip boviscopophobic posted:
posted:I want to see them open their universe to other game dev studios. CIG provides a working multiplayer game, hosted servers, all assets, fully working FPS with many weapons and armors... and all another game dev has to do is build out their story and levels within an existing SC planet, like Yela for example... they can create a massive single player or even coop game on Yela using SC assets, hosted by CIG for a price, and CIG gets a portion of the profit. So. Much. Potential... and it's a hell of a way to fill the Verse with quality builds and usage. Imagine being able to land on a planet and for $15 you get access to a "quest" that essentially sends you into another companies game, all within the SC universe. Scruffpuff posted:So back in the day the team that made Everquest made a little tank game called Tanaris. Before that name got applied it went through alpha and beta cycles as Armorgeddon. Now the point of this little game was to pew pew your tanks at each other. There were four corners and four colors, a bit like the 80s classic Warlords. You chose from different tank sizes, with strengths/weaknesses, and you could outfit them with a finite loadout. There was capture the flag, kill counts, various ways to win. Scruffpuff posted:I don't think citizens are ready (again) to handle the reality that they're not Captain-General Han Picard dying in glorious combat in a huge explosion that kills them heroically yet saves the day and everyone just knows despite thousands dead that it's he who saved the day. posted:Invalid Complaints Beexoffel posted:
Scruffpuff posted:Real IPs and properties are usually interesting in some way, or unique. Parodies of those IPs, or parodies of genres, can be even more interesting and unique and creative in their own ways. CIG is completely sterile of any personality whatsoever. Even the name, "Star Citizen", is monumentally, almost bury-the-needle stupid. And they went with it. I understand that Chris Roberts is the Special Olympian of game developers, but even participants in the Special Olympics occasionally get told, "You blew it, Stan." Chris just drools out whatever synapse fired off and everyone applauds. Scruffpuff posted:Like imagine you're making a chess game, and you decide to use artificial stupidity because you figure it will be easier than AI. So that's easy - you just make the chess algorithm pick bad moves. Move the queen to the wrong space, player counters, mate in 1. Easy. ZenMaster posted:Let's compare SC to a relationship. Dementropy posted:Motherboard: 'Star Citizen' Says Its Advanced Face Tracking Tech Isn't Feature Creep Beet Goblin posted:https://giant.gfycat.com/EmbarrassedMindlessCrocodileskink.webm Scruffpuff posted:That last part is what confuses me about the remaining backers. Even in a best-case scenario (which we couldn't be further from) a game that is filled with "what Chris wants" is pretty much going to be really bad. Like they've doomed their own dreams by putting them in the hands of a man who feeds on dreams and shits out unfinished art assets in a hacked model-viewer. Sometimes it feels like there's an inside contest at CIG to see how far Chris can push these people and have them still begging to suck his dick. And so far the limit hasn't been reached. Scruffpuff posted:Someone earlier in the thread called the in-game assets "props" and I think that's a perfect description of what Star Citizen is. Like a Hollywood set with doors, sinks, toilets, buildings, but it's all just there to look good for the cameras. People think you can hack that poo poo in later somehow, but ask a guy who builds movies sets if making them into the real deal is just a matter of a few tweaks. Hobold posted:"Nothing will ever have the fidelity of SC! Crobears is a genius!" FailureToReport posted:Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while, I've been super busy shilling for Star Citizen , I need to get a new PC you know? DigitalPenny posted:Looking at Linkedin data. What struck me was how many artists they have, considering all the groundbreaking working and tech they are supposedly doing they are very light on engineers and technical people, even evil publishers doing the boring same old have orders of magnitude more tech people. colonelwest posted:

They also tacitly acknowledge that CIG is a money fire and they hope to proselytize to new suckers to keep Chris' glacial farce of game development going. It's telling that its always about some peripheral or meta experience surrounding the game, its never about all of the amazing game play and social experiences they're having in this seven year old pre-Alpha. Martman posted:
Beet Goblin posted:
Pixelate posted:Bug Reports Sarsapariller posted:The fun actually decreases as you add more people in Star Citizen. Everyone in Star Citizen is intensely fragile, all the time. TTK on a spaceship is about .8 seconds, TTK on spaceman is even lower. And they will always respawn at the least convenient possible location, or with a giant insurance timer. Once you get over ~3 people in a group, literally all you are going to be doing is waiting on one or more people to respawn, or you're going to have to fly off and leave them. And that's assuming that everyone even manages to load into the same server which is a 2 hour ordeal in itself. The only way the big Citizen "Look we're having FUN" videos work is by, as someone pointed out last night, inviting 50 people and then filming the 5 who actually manage to make it through. Scruffpuff posted:
Jobbo_Fett posted:Star Citizen: They are at Max Bad already! Scruffpuff posted:
Beer4TheBeerGod posted:If Star Citizen were a normal game then this would be absolutely spot on. It's a perfect example of the inherent flaw of how Chris works; he takes on too much, emphasizes complexity over quality, and ultimately fails to deliver before abandoning everything or being forced out. We saw that demonstrated aptly in Freelancer. However where Star Citizen differs is the intent of the product. This is not a game. It's a universe. It's a simulation, a framework that's intended to allow the backers to create their own stories. That's why you have people looking at pictures of offices and imagining themselves being there, or people excited about a 5 minute wait for a train. It's why you have people saying that spending thousands of hours to get enough to buy a ship is a good thing; it's realistic. It's immersive. It's not intended to be fun. Beet Goblin posted:goons, reading the ingredient list for pizza dough: Hey uhhh I think instead of "portland cement" you should use flour? this doesn't seem like it'll make a good pizza Twyst posted:I worked on a project that was in perpetual alpha, we had a couple of 'bugs' (limitations of the engine, memory leaks, etc) which were used to close off the majority of other bugs as symptoms of the big issues. Imo they have QA but the devs can't fix the bugs they report because they're a symptom of a bigger issue which is that the core of their project is rotten. big nipples big life posted:I love that citizens legitimately think posting about star citizen being poo poo is a crime of some sort. Beet Goblin posted:These are the same people who created a fictional "grey market refund scheme" - wherein goons used the refund sub to convince people to try and get their money back but would swoop in at the last minute to buy them out for cheap, thereby building a huge shadow fleet to use on launch - out of whole cloth. Their brains are absolutely broken and the funniest part is that their delusion prevents them from even accepting the truth when they're told it by a 'known goon' or whatever on reddit. TheAgent posted:its out to the test environment (the PTU) which isn't the same as the live server (the PU) Scruffpuff posted:https://twitter.com/RobertsSpaceInd/status/1057704293959131136 posted:The development progress is ridiculous. (rant) posted:Star Citizen needs to close that roadmap, stop creeping useless little features in, stop making things like THE F*CKING SEATS IN A SHIP or some random polygons on them their priority and, most importantly, it must give us an ACTUAL RELEASE DATE. I really want this game to be a thing and I am really excited to see what will come out of it, but even with their MASSIVE budget, it seems like development is starting to die out as a major part of this budget is wasted making dumb marketing and some more useless ships that suddenly make the TOP of their priority list. And those long-rear end scripted demos. As this project reveals itself, I can see more and more smoke coming from under the blanket. MedicineHut posted:"Chris has been watching videos of [ReadDeadRedemption2]..." Beet Wagon posted:The "they're building the game I've always wanted" thing is so funny to me because I guarantee he has said that at every incarnation of what SC was supposed to be.
