This comment I agree with on so many levels. It's why I'm always confused by the endless wave of survival games that have multiple, asinine bars that you have to track in a game. Having to manage meals, water, and sleep while using some esoteric crafting system just drags down the game. I never understood the appeal, like I loved No Man's Sky style, sound, and look, but the survival bits and inventory management is so off putting. Must be a space sim thing.

Survival games are escapism even with the bars. You would not usually be stranded somewhere and fighting for survival. Claiming that survival games are no escapism is about as dumb as calling flight sims not escapism because you could just go out and fly a real fighter jet hurrr

Can't believe I'm saying this but ol' Fannie actually made a good post. The real danger for Star Citizen - one that we've talked about a couple times - isn't that angry mobs will tear down the gates and whisk the devs off to the town square after enough delays, it's that people on both sides are already completely starting to lose interest. They blew their window so hard there's not gonna be anyone left to play their lovely game when it comes out lol.

I think Elite's in a similar boat right now, the previous ED leaks have all played out correctly so it looks like next major ED update will be space legs targeted at Dec 2020, it is a long way off. Frontier's job is to keep people engaged/playing with minimal content updates till then, I spose at least ED is a fully playable game, rather than a promise of one. Alledged Thargoid concept leak coming in 2020 (from a different source) :

Michaellaneous posted:Survival games are escapism even with the bars. They're still trying to simulate real life mechanics, however absurdly executed, into a game. Oh better eat food, sleep, and drink water before I die. Your flight sims comparison is poorly used. Yes people don't have access to air planes in general, but making it so you have to run a virtual aircraft in the same manner as a real one is literally injecting realism into a medium that is generally used for escapism. This also goes for the truck and train simulators out there as well. I apologize if it came off that I was being nasty about a genre you like. Edit: cleaned up tone in my original post to not read condescending. LostMy2010Accnt fucked around with this message at 17:34 on May 25, 2019 |

I like it, it's really alien looking. I'm really sick of aliens that look like either humans with funny foreheads/a skin condition or furries. As an example of the alien designs I'm sick of, let's look at Star Citizer: We've got the Vanduul (lizard men with daedric armor for skin), the Xi’an (Chinese turtle furries), Banu (funny foreheaded meat Groot) and the Tevarin (bird furries). Looking at the SC wiki there's apparently more, but those are the only ones that they've provided art for.

FYI, this is the true legacy of Star Citizen. That realization that gamers are really loving bad with money and you can make a ton of it with a carrot on a string or even less than that. It's that transition from microtranactions to macrotransactions. If you hated horse armor, it's going to get a lot worse.

You can easily imagine more "evolved" variants of this too, in the style of the Thargoid ships. It may not be real btw, it's "leaked", but if it is I can see this thing being a twat to animate. reverend crabhands fucked around with this message at 19:28 on May 25, 2019 |

Rectal Death Adept posted:I just heard about the huge loan, which is funny since Eightace was posting here a long time ago and it went from "We are drowning and about to go under" to "I don't know where it came from but they just got a shitload of money, enough for another couple years." Since I made this post in January the SC cultists on the wikipedia page have drawn a hard line and refuse to allow it to be included in the list of "Most Expensive Video Games to Develop" on wikipedia anymore. I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact that, adjusted for inflation and with the loan added Star Citizen sits around #2 going straight for #1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop Based on the talk page it sounds like they are going with the Schrodinger's game defense. quote:This is not List of highest funded crowdfunding projects, which does list Star Citizen. It is the list of most expensive to develop, which we lack any sourcing on in regards to budget. -- ferret (talk) 22:18, 21 June 2018 (UTC) quote:To add to this again: The issue isn't that it's still in development. The issue is that we have no sourcing that discusses a "development budget" or "marketing budget", either one. Crowdfunding amounts are not the same as development budgets. -- ferret (talk) 15:10, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Those comments from Ferret were correct at the time (June 2018), but since then CI!G released their brochure-financials (Dec 2018) which do show how much was spent on development and marketing. A registered wiki person should be able to add the data, correctly sourced and commented, and a wiki-admin notified (e.g. Ferret) to confirm the changes

If I had the skills time or inclination I'd make a Chris Roberts vs Other Developers infographic to illustrate this comment. Picture a badly shooped game dev holding a carrot on a stick next to a pile of money side by side with a badly shooped chris roberts holding a jpg of a carrot on a stick next to a bigger pile of money

That brings open interesting point about land claims, isn't it meant to be that you put the claim in and then you have to return to an office or some such thing somewhere to complete the claim? Being that quantum travel can be very long but are also affected by the size of the ship, does that mean that the whales with the massive ships that travel faster while in QT will have another advantage in securing these claims? Its like CI-G have no understanding of there own project. Chris Roberts;, game dev, code whisper, chairman, inept fool, scummy business man, victim of strangling, sexy bear.

Kosumo posted:That brings open interesting point about land claims, isn't it meant to be that you put the claim in and then you have to return to an office or some such thing somewhere to complete the claim? Well all this is theoretical anyway. On a server that holds a dozen or so people, I think there might technically be enough room in the universe for each of them to hold some land. Even on a server with 10,000 people, there's enough room when you're talking about planets. If the population of Earth was 10,000 nobody would see anyone else. One of the psychological tricks CIG employs is putting out enough information for us to even have this discussion in the first place. Think of the implications of us having to assume the following: - The existence of a completed universe - The full and proper functionality of spaceships - The fuel/travel times - Planets are in and fully functional - Land claim mechanics are fleshed out and serve a purpose - Base or homestead building mechanics - A reason to do any of this stupid bullshit. Unless the above list, and much more, is already complete or near completion, then there's no reason to theorycraft the specifics, right? Therefore, by engaging in theorycrafting, we're passively implying all of the above is in game. This is how CIG has gotten as far as they have - backers discussing mechanics as if we're down to the wire and all that's left is balance and details, making it look to casual onlookers as if they're talking about something real. They're LARPing being customers of a nonexistent product. There is no game, there is no plan for a game, and Chris Roberts is a fraud.

Rectal Death Adept posted:"Fear of Missing Out" Should, by some miracle, SC release, and actually be something i will enjoy, then i'm going to laugh my rear end off at the guys who sunk thousands into the game while i just earn the ships and stuff. Of course, they will laugh at me for actually being a peon and playing the game to earn stuff when they just bought it with real money. But as long as it remains pay to win, which i think it will post-release (I think they will have to to keep the lights on), i won't be buying it anyway.

reverend crabhands posted:If this happens to be the case, you can imagine a some vague contract scenario where Calder believe any entitlement to SQ42 moneys includes all SQ42 bundle sales before the split and right up to the initial Kickstarter, while Ortwin has been underhand in wording the contract and believes he can say it's only SQ42 money after the loan was made. And so we all go to Space Court again. Also CIG are using hollywood accounting. Pretty sure they will show they are actually losing money, while one of their shell companies is raking it in.
