How much do they think golf costs?

I hear legatus packs for golfing cost quite a bit.

Funny how they immediately pick a relatively expensive hobby to compare to rather than something like football or whatever.

I don't think Golf is that expensive? Like that desk would get you a pretty good set of clubs. Plays are just not that expensive.

like a legatus pack would likely last you at least 10 years of golf entertainment....

EDIT: vvv lol I didn't notice it wasn't Monster. I wonder if that IS the angle.....

I've missed the last 10122 posts.

Is it coming out?
Is the case vs Crytek moving along?
Is Sandi still an evil witch?
Is Derek Smart?

When't the next live fake footage humiliation session?
Any new :pgabz: videos?

1. It's already out, it's good, and we all play it
2. The whole thing was discovered to be one big misunderstanding and dropped. Crytek and CI!G are super best friends now and are collaborating on the development of the BDSSE
3. Sandi turned out to be a really nice and sweet person who is a fantastic actress. She only looked bad before because George Lucas wrote all her dialogue.
4. Derek Smart turned out to be a false flag operation to own the goons. In a master stroke of playing 4d chess, Chris and Derek, who are actually close friends, devised a plan to get all goons to refund so that we would never be able to ruin SC like we ruined Eve. We all took the bait and we are all super salty that we will never experience PC gaming nirvana.
5. It turns out that every piece of footage ever shown was totally real and made using the internal dev Jesus build that existed all along but couldn't be shown until every last goon was purged from the project. Also it was held back because Chris is a perfectionist and there were blue pixels that needed changing to green.
6. Pgabz was a Derek Smart alt all along meant to convince goons that SC was bad so we wouldn't want to play it.

So are you supposed to put your existing PC in that big plastic box on the one end and let it melt due to the horrible airflow? Or is it a case you're supposed to build a PC into?

To get SC to run above 30fps they just drastically cut the rendering distance for everything in the game, so you are either constantly assaulted with horrible looking pixelated objects or stuff just pops in out of nowhere. It looks worse than how even Bethesda's ramshackle Creation Engine handles this.

Absoloutely. And of course, regular resets, so you can grind for a ship, buy a ship (if ship purchasing is still in?), and then permanently lose it due to the wipe anyway.

You see, this is what separates the men... erm, i mean whales, from the peons.

A peon with only a basic package will only have 1 ship. The ship goes boom, they have to wait for it to be available again. They can expidite it, but that costs credits, and when you are a peon, you probably don't have much in the way of credits.

So you have to play the fidelitous waiting game for your ship, or go mop a whale's dick, erm, deck!

Whales on the other hand, they can summon ships one after another, and not care about them getting blown up too much. They don't even really need to expedite recovery.

Of course, this has nothing to do with pay to win. What is winning anyway?

  • supposedly CIG created a wing of the company to handle manufacturing and distribution of the camera
  • faceware engineers helped create the code for the first big reveal
  • 12+ months of continued support on their end when they were supposed to help for six
  • some contention over payments due 3lateral / faceware (same company btw)
  • friction over potential losses if camera is canceled with new owners (epic bought 3lat earlier this year)
  • losses / lost payments total "tens of millions"
  • would have to sell "many units" to break even on camera
  • "low priority" for CIG and Epic, as numbers of potential sales look low / dire
  • "It was a passing fad used as a content patch. No one here thinks it's still happening."
  • if there's no agreement met with current issues, 3lat can stop any and all mocap footage using their rigs / technology from appearing in SC
