I just bought a highly fidelitous sci-fi cryengine game featuring nested multiple physics grids and fps combat more lethal than COD.

I think people have mentioned this before, but CIG is being paid by the inmates to run an asylum where they interact with each other some of the day instead of the outside world. They and their 'anything could happen' dreams are contained.

And for this I am thankful.

We actually don't need multiple physics grids. Technically speaking you need nested volumes of space that have their own instance of "world physics". I think Elite Dangerous has this incorporated into their engine. Physics grids are just plates that have been smothered with cranberry sauce gravity goo.

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?
Just before you buy
Log in for the weekend to free fly
You'll wake up in a bed
With a plastic bag just sitting on your head
While logged in you won't feel the pain
The consequence of you losing the game
of life
So here it is another chance
Wide awake you sit to play
Your pain is over
Or has it just begun

There's a place goons like to hide
A doorway that we clip through in the night
As you play we'll be there
While you are getting into your immersion chair
It's a place where we have learned
To play your fears, and reap your tears, and get inside of your mind
Commandos on another world
Playing with F.O.I.P.
And not paying attention

We - will be watching all of you
We - are gonna gank you through and through
We - will attack you every night
We - are rendered next to you

In pointless fidelity

While we tear you apart with glee
You'll blame everyone else but CIG
The ship you sit within
Comes crashing down while we bask in your chagrin
On the loading screen you'll learn
You still feel pain in the dream domain, you're never free to fly
You'll slowly get it through your head
See past the confusion
And you'll realize your dream's deprived and the goons will thrive but

We - will be watching all of you
We - are gonna gank you through and through
We - will attack you every night
We - are rendered next to you

I will grant though, that the exterior looks a lot better than the one from the hangar. Much closer to the modern aesthetic. Still ugly as gently caress, but more detailed.

The problem is, none of them have interesting articles in them so it will be obvious I only had them for my own teenage sexual satisfaction.

I seem to remember seeing a lot of concept art for "future clothes", and they even tried to do future clothes in some of their marketing, like the Hilton picture.

What... went wrong? None of these clothes look like future clothes.

They could at least watch the Cyberpunk demo and get an idea of how they could steal those clothing concepts.

FUD gripes...

1. Again, missions do not work. IF lucky you might find one or two that kinda work but that's it. 98% of the missions just do not work, cannot be completed etc etc etc..
2. Buying ammo then logging out or crashing out means that when you log back in, all that ammo you bought is gone and so every time you load the game, you have to buy it all over again.
3. Buying ship components and weapons, same thing.. many times what you bought is not staying persistent in your inventory.
4. Turrets on many ships are still glitchy and hard to use.
5. NPC's - invincible. They don't move and you can't kill them in ships.
6. Missiles - don't work worth a drat if at all.
7. Navigation - While it works, many times you have to futz around to find a nav point or turn on and off your nav system to find the right spot.
8. Persistent log out still does not work at least 70% of the time. Whether in bed or landed somewhere, more than half the time you log in where you did not log out.

Fear not, CIG's 24x7 dev pipelines will deliver soon. Just wait for 3.3.6 which contains...

1. Missions 3.0
2. Persistence 2.0
3. Persistence 3.0
4. Turrets 4.0
5. NPCs 2.0
6. Missiles 1.01a.44503
7. Navigation 2.0
8. Persistence 4.0

Now gently caress off goonie hater, and leave the TRUE STAR CITIZENS riding off into the sunset, covered in blood and victorious.

Blood (goon blood) and sweat (my sweat).

Be sure you get this right because it's hard to perfectly capture the insane but occasionally little diamonds like this filter up through the dross.

Apparently not, you still need at least a $75 starter package.

I see so many backers still doing all kinds of dreamy speculation about ships, ship roles, how they will upgrade to such and such LTI or non LTI package, how they will use such and such ship with or without org members and on and on...

I am not surprised at all that the funding tracker still appears as healthy as a rock. But when this project comes to a screeching halt (or to a crappy Early Access) it is going to be all kinds of fun seeing the puzzlement in all of those currently "business as usual" fans.
