Did our friend "TheGremlich" lose his faith? I used to see him pop up in MirificusBot posts all the time, lately nothing.

He hasn't posted on any Star Citizen sub in 5+ months, presumedly from proving us all wrong.

SC_Lumen appears to have given up. Tferroato used to be a prolific supporter and he’s straight up deleted his reddit account. Some of the more marketing accounts have gone quiet, or stopped posting around six months ago, which would have been the time the Calders thing was kicking off. I’m thinking some of the marketing money got shifted around.

I quite like the random SC mentions on the various Red Bull regionals. Bahrain and Kuwait, for example, tend to bear down heavily on the rich person sports like formula one, then in the middle of a stream of posts, you’ll get one about Star Citizen.

As the game is hitting around $9.99, i admire your resolve but wonder who is the really hurt party here.

Has Sean returned any of your tearful calls over....features that were promised that you’ve never actually experienced? I mean it’s not great, but holding a grudge for three years isn’t exactly causing Murray any sleepless nights.

It's not causing me any sleepless nights either as I have other games (Elite, KanColle and Dead Cells these days mostly). But to me, in the end, it's about principle. I understand others see it differently and won't blame them for purchasing it, though, glad they enjoy it, even. To each its own in this regard.

Well, at least John Romero releases games eventually. Though can't disagree with the bitch part.

Oh, and he doesn't wear turtleneck sweaters, which makes him instantly better than CRoberts.

They fixed it in the sense that it doesn't have many game breaking bugs anymore and you can go down a list and say that all the features he promised are "in the game" in the most basic sense. It's still a janky snooze fest of shooting a laser at rocks to get resources so you can refill a dozen meters that are constantly ticking down.

It is what it is, a small (in terms of actual gameplay) indie game made by a dozen people on a tiny budget. If it wasn't for the ridiculous hype train supported by Sony, it probably would have sold a few hundred thousand copies and been forgotten in a year or two.

Yeah, it's just that whole axis of condemning something that you haven't purchased. It's no biggie.

I won't give Randy Pitchford any more money, but it's been a sequence of lovely behaviour. Brad Wardell too. I'm less bothered by Sean Murray being thrust into a spotlight and making vague promises given the end product. I certainly can't speak to what happens to a ten man studio that attracts the attention of Sony entertainment.

Did you know that 'To each his own' (Jedem das Seine) is engraved over the entrance to Buchenwald? People keep trying to use it in advertising, and there's usually a bit of an outcry over it.

Yeah, hyperbole on the counters there. You have environment protection which counts down, then it hits health. If you're inside (which is a very loose concept) or in a hole, it doesn't count down. There's like two meters you have to worry about, and a bigger loving problem is the inventory management because of the sheer number of extant materials, let alone the transmutes.

Your 'tool' takes power, which counts down. You're not wrong on the gameplay loop being collection of materials, though, and they've kinda subverted the original broad scope into a doll house sim.

My overall problem is that I wasn't after a base-building simulation, but that's what it ended up as after NEXT; like there are two distinct 'campaign' lines in terms of ATLAS and building a base, and neither are entirely compelling. I actually used to kind of enjoy just zapping around planets looking at the procedural modelling.

As it is, I think I got my money's worth out of it fairly early, and have moved onto other things (Mafia III is surprisingly not poo poo, although formulaic, and Path of Exile on Ps4 is way deep mechanically. I'm doing a 'no automation' run through of Distant Worlds which is not going well, and Space Engine is eating up the rest of the time).

I hear that they changed some of the backstory for at least one female and male character. Instead of being 14 years old they adjusted them to a more realistic 26 and 29, respectively.


Gamers are crying about how their love interested is now an old hag or a dirty old man. :shrug:

Uhhh, I think you misunderstand, I don't condemn NMS, I actually think it might be a bit of a fun (though probably not much for me anyway, I always found colourful 30s sci-fi a bit weird personally). I condemn NMS's main developer's behaviour. The fact that he's connected to NMS is unfortunate, but as it happens, I won't support his profits by buying NMS.

I wouldn't call direct "Yes" to "Will you be able to see each other" a vague promise, but whatever.

No, I genuinely didn't. Read up on the Wiki about the topic and it's pretty... fascinating, though seemingly the controversy is very limited to German sphere? As I am not German and can't speak it, I doubt I could learn about it from that way (and I haven't been to Buchenwald, only Terezin and even that briefly).
I don't think most of the world cares about the phrase in this regard, though, and instead takes it as "Whatever you do, props to you, whatever I do, props to me, we can disagree on stuff"

I remember the first time I played FF7. I hadn't had much exposure to Japan and I thought it was a really bold move to make a character who had such a gigantic natural handicap as a fighter. Women with huge boobs exist, good for them not to default everyone to some kind of athlete body type!
