Beet Wagon posted:I remember once upon a time you could build a fire that fit perfectly in the doorway of the auctionhouse at Stormwind, denying people the ability to enter or exit. At the time it was a really funny way to piss everyone off, but honestly it doesn't hold a candle to killing Miles "Seven Jackets" Prower on day one lol If Star Citizen ever releases, the following will likely happen within the first week: - Goons will kill all the NPCs. - Goons will crash ships on all the landing pads so no one else can spawn a ship. - Goons will buy up all the ammo and medipens from the station stores so no commandos can access them. - Goons will fill up ships with cargo and then dump it all over the physics grids, causing the servers to fall over and crash. - Goons will find ways to make the Face over IP system show the most immersion breaking faces possible, all the time, while making parp sounds over the VoIP system. - Goons will hunt B'tak through every station corridor and over every planet.

Mr Fronts posted:* None of this exists, and none of this is planned. And the backers are probably happy with it. SC gets scrapped or released as a buggy tech demo? No problem, I had so much fun theorycrafting, that was worth the thousands of dollars. There are times when I think that the SC crowd would be better off with a good Sci-Fi book or a decent D&D party, theorycrafting there is much less expensive and probably more fun....

To pick up on the industry talk, I think it's pretty much a given that games have to get smaller. Forget PS3, I'd be thrilled with a PS2-quality game done right. Or a pixel art DIY project that was small and cost a few dollars, as long as it gave me a bit of solid gameplay. I like to dabble, a lot. Music in the 19th century was a mix of elitist orchestral and at-home hobbyist. Pop music emerged to fill in the gap..smaller songs, simpler and more modest, but somehow more fun in their own way. And the genres were/are accessible with practice and a creative mind. The same thing has to happen with gaming. I mean, I think we sort of had it in the 80s and part of the 90s, at least in the PC market. But development then was still something of an alchemic art. With modern tools things are much simpler -- again, practice and effort is needed to make something good, but the payoff ceiling is much, much lower. I think it will happen. The gaming public has to mature a bit -- people have to want to contribute and make their own stuff. Like with pop music, a whole ecosystem of home strummers, garage bands, local talents, touring groups, and superstars has to emerge. But I'm optimistic we'll get there.

I think one of the things that makes me really see how much Citizen's are not thinking things through to their logical conclusions are posts like the first post in the picture. Like... if they don't get good frame rates in Levski AFTER the implementation of all the big things they were saying were going to fix all the frame rate problems... how in the hell are they expecting to ever get remotely playable frame rates in the city planet?

And the indie scene is still tough on developers these days in terms of work hours/profit ratio. The industry needs some changes, and I think this is how it moves forward.

Sure, but your post went on about playing a "PS2 quality game" if it was done right and "gaming needs to mature for contributions" and its like... were there already? Just look at everything on Steam or other platforms. Devolvee Digital with some breakout hits is a great example of a good publisher and good games in their line-up, or GoG.com bringing back classic games.

Ok but Battletech is easily a 10-hour game on the singleplayer. What cause you to stop? What genres do you like? What hooks you into a game's world or mechanics? Like, if you can't enjoy poo poo like strapping a dude to an explosive canister and sending both into space until it detonates, I can only say you're at fault here.

I like RTS and strategy (combined FPS/RTS especially - but that is largely a dead genre). I find modern FPS games such as Battlefield and Call of Duty feel repetitive and churned out.

I'm kind of in the middle of this debate. I don't think we live in the dark gaming dystopian future, but I also don't believe the indiesphere is driving unprecedented variety and innovation (its full of shovleware, nostalgia exploitation and pretentious walking simulators). I think we are in a much better place than even a few years ago when every publisher was shamelessly chasing COD, and arbitrarily declaring entire genres to be "dead"; and we now a plethora of great single player games to choose from. But... Games haven't really advanced mechanically since the early to mid 2000's. Everything we've been playing since then is a derivative of a few genre's that were firmly established back then. Look at open world games. The bar for them was set by Oblivion in 2006. Now I know you forum dads will say "but...but... Morrowind!!", however I'm going to stick to my guns and say Oblivion marked the point at which a 3D engine could really do an open world justice and make it feel like a real living place (especially with the radiant AI). Since then the entire genre has just been running in circles, from Bethesda moving backwards in almost everything other than graphics with each release, to Ubisoft churning out empty repetitive sandboxes until its recent course change. The genre hasn't advanced in any fundamental way, the open world is still mainly a static backdrop for linear missions and has almost no response to your actions.

I have stockhold syndrome for playing boring dull uninspired lowest common denominator churned out FPS garbage like Team Fortress 2, Natural Selection 2, Titanfall 1 and 2, Destiny 2, Overwatch, Metro 1 and 2, Hard Reset, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, and umm probably others. Nothing but iron sights down an AK and .02s TTK with garbage respawns ever since call of dookies came out and ruined gaming. (Maybe you just don't like FPS games any more, which is totes fine.)

Because open world games have evolved in different directions and you're only looking for the ones that aim for that whole "real living place with meaningful player actions" thing. Meanwhile, you have stuff like Spider-Man and Spider-Link doing their thing in their open world games and people having a shitload of fun with them. And if you think those games do not offer more advanced mechanics than goddamn Oblivion of all things then welp. trucutru fucked around with this message at 07:02 on Nov 4, 2018 |

I teach robotics classes to kids, where they build robots out of LEGO and use a basic drag and drop programming thing to get their robots to do things. It's pretty cool and fun. One of my favorite things is when the kids decide they're going to have their robots race or battle. Sometimes they spend a whole class customizing their robots for these events. How does this tie in to Stor Citizen? My absolute favorite part is what happens when the kids actually have their robots next to each other and are about to start. This is when they begin to legislate. Since they all put all this time and effort into their robot, they obviously want it to be the best. So they come up with these incredibly elaborate rules, often disagreeing and regularly taking a comically long time to do so. They envision grand battles with their cool weapons and epic races. What ends up happening is two LEGO cars slowly bump into each other while they scream. Then both sides declare victory or demand that the rules be changed. Right now, SC appears to be somewhere in that first phase, where everyone imagines these cool scenarios and fun times to be had. However, unlike my students, they also have a clear indication as to where it's going, as the actual game is pretty much the same as a pair of LEGO cars slowly bumping into each other. Only when JPEGs bump into things the entire game crashes and you have to sit at a loving loading screen for 10 minutes. Citizens are functioning at roughly the same level as 2nd graders.

Man, I'm as excited as the citizens for Hurston, when their precious frames drop back to < 20 and it's time for another beatdown from Mr Reality.

None of the touted Radiant AI stuff made any difference in game except for the part where you'd have to hunt down NPCs across town to talk to them because it was currently the hour where they have to walk through the garden for some reason. The previous games felt better because, just like in a real city, there would be more people walking around on the streets because they didn't all have to have unique looks and names and backstories, and they weren't wholly tailored for you to be the most important thing in their life besides walking in the garden starting at 1400.
