G0RF it is almost as if you don't believe in the dream or something? I need you to be more positive. It seems smaller, less ticket sales, no VIP section, no +1's, must be a paid up believer no dirty outsiders and I'm sure there will be the same cosplay people sitting on the same props from last year.

So either the 1200 seat ballroom or the 11000 seat theater... With $46 million for marketing Squadron, a game most certainly coming out in 2020, they’re probably gonna book that theater and still sell out!

G0RF posted:Seems like Squadron 42 should be heavily featured this year, right? After all, Roberts’ Magnum Opus releases next year with the biggest star lineup in gaming history and $46 million worth of marketing behind it, right? No, the BETA is supposed to release next year. Which, for a single-player only game, means.... Something. And that's AFTER a 6-month Alpha. So if you don't see the Alpha happen, well... It sure ain't coming soon! Seriously, I'm rather amused at the concept of a long, semi-public beta for a SINGLE PLAYER, campaign-focused game. Will the backers get a demo? A few levels? The entire game? Will everyone who actually might want to play this game already have played through it by the time it's "finished"? I mean, sure, early access is a thing, and there's plenty of SP games in early access. But normally those are roguelike/sandbox games that change and grow as time goes on, getting more things to do and more ways to play. But a game that's meant to have a dramatic plot and be experienced once...?

But their latest investor, who put the hard deadline up, invested because Chris told them his magnum opus would sell COD numbers of copies. That is why I absolutely want SQ42 to release. I'm dying for it. When it sells 9 copies and 6 are returned, and the reviews eviscerate it, I want to hear Chris's stammering excuses. The E.L.E. will be the game itself.

I'm just trying to figure out what their angle is going to be on trying to resell the game to people who already bought it. I kinda wonder if it'll be something like 3 months before release they'll start talking about financial problems and try and get true fans to buy it again anyway, cause if they don't make enough well.. there might not be enough money to finish.

Not even COD sells COD copies anymore. That said, this post is an illustration of why SQ42 will never, ever release. I don't care what they promised that investor. He's done that before and reneged, he will do it again.

I said come in! posted:What's wrong with this footage? This actually looks pretty cool, and looks like it's open world PvP? Putting aside the glitches and choppiness, what I meant by linking to that is that his audience engagement numbers are way down. This was January: https://twitter.com/Rexzilla/status/1089987596539912197 You can see it in his Twitch rank and stats, too. He was in the top 500 most popular streamers half a year ago. He’s dropped a couple thousand in rank since. He’s streaming it less frequently to a smaller, less engaged audience. Maybe it’s seasonal. Maybe it’s that 3.5 is particularly garbage. Or maybe it’s something else entirely. But I’m starting to wonder if Rex is going to stick it out much longer.

Remember when they got the $46 million investment for advertising is also around the time Rex (who is sponsored by Red Bull) started streaming SC out of no where and then surprisingly SC turned up on Red Bulls gaming show. I mean $46 million can buy you quite a few view bots even though they wouldn't of wasted that much money on.... hmm LOL Amazing Zimmo fucked around with this message at 08:20 on Jun 27, 2019 |

Maybe, maybe not. From my experience, if there's one thing tedious game dads are dedicated to, it's the superiority of their gaming PC over plebeian consoles. That said, we can all agree that the most absurd idea is that CIG will ever release something.

Pretty easy, just say the PC version is the Ultimate Edition and will have better visuals, more mocap and super secret missions. Then release a poor PC port a year later. What do you mean, what ultimate edition? We never promised anything like that.

Holy poo poo, that is some peak cringe. Am I right in assuming there's no stakes here at all, both sides just specifically gathered in that spot to create a roleplaying battle for the stream? He's acting like it's the most intense battle royale he's ever played or something.
