Like there's some kind of prion disease that blocks the last 6 years of this game in his mind. The fun thing about that is the invitee, DigThat32, started going on pretty concerted pro-SC run around the start of the year. Including outreach to the ED community and such. Loads of PTU ship footage lovingly assembled, mechanics discussed as if in full working order, all presented as 'what it's been like' to play SC. I love how by that point in the video even he can't keep up his 'Oh that's unfortunate' downplaying routine, but just has to laugh at the constant death and spaghettification. (He's back to rosie takes for his wrap up though).

Anyone able to clarify the Level 1A poo poo that turd Tojal is talking about? Nothing I can find references that level of qualification, and a "Level 1" designation is literally the lowest spot on the "Australian Qualifications Framework". A Masters degree is Level 9...

(He's back to rosie takes for his wrap up though). It's a really fascinating contrast between a die-hard believer and random youtube celebrity who plays other video games regularly. You so rarely see true believers cross out of the self-imposed media quarantine and actually engage with the game without the filter of heavy editing. Meanwhile Yamiks is just in there being a regular gamer- he finds a funny bug and throws himself down the stairs, or learns that he can kill himself by squatting too much and immediately does it. This clearly makes the cultist guy extremely uncomfortable- he's totally unused to staring directly at the problems of the game. I've never seen someone self-hypnotize to avoid looking at problems quite the way that Citizens do and it's on full display here. They're both very polite to each other, which makes it so much sadder- the die hard guy keeps trying to get Yamiks to meet him halfway with stuff like "Oh well, it's got a few problems." Yamiks isn't having any of that poo poo- it's nothing but problems, after 7 years and 250 million dollars. It's insane!

TheAgent posted:hello I don't know if I believe this segment from whoever you're still getting leaks from. It feels like the annual pivot from SQ42 as a stand-alone product back to SQ42 as part of some broader PU operation, and every other time we've heard of this nothing has really come of it. I think the reality is that SQ42 is undeliverable, and about once a year the mooks at CIG are forced to confront that reality, and then they come up with a new plan that is every bit as bullshit as the previous plan, but that makes them feel a little better internally for a while. "It's a separate game! It's a series of packs for the PU! No wait it's an open-world offline version of the MMO!" Okay, cool, you haven't actually made any of that though. Most of that sounds like stuff you could show off, if you had it. The only thing we've ever seen is extremely-placeholder demos of the one level and the one big spaceship, in six years. You've got nothing. Like a lot of what's being described up there sounds like it would be in dreams and handwave territory for a competent team.

How does this stop the Kazan's of the world from editing the "files" and giving themselves everything they want in game? Isn't that one of their great outrages the fact a lot of developers require players to connect to an online server for an offline game? If that is how they will control access to all of the shineys wont the citizens become morally outraged or something?

 Paying $375.00 for DLC in any game would be considered egregious and predatory; paying that much for a single ship in a broken pre-alpha tech demo that is 3 years late on delivering its first major batch of content, is just pure whale fracking of a ridiculous video game cult. You can see Rex slowly losing his mind over the last few months, from having to play this broken tech demo over and over again 6 days a week. When he started out he was completely professional, you would never see him rant like this. Though it’s also probably influenced by the fact that he has a shrinking audience and the only people watching are either viewbots or cultists. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Jul 3, 2019 |

I did not fully understand the context of his mini-rant, but he does sound a bit stressed out from playing SC full time.  I wonder how long Rexzilla will last. It feels like most Youtubers/Streamers got burned by CIG/SC one way or another. BNB loving hates the game. WTFO keeps waiting for FPS/SM improvements that never seem to arrive. The only exception being BoredGamer, he is a dedicated shill. He constantly acts as if CIG's marketing copytext should be taken at face value and he definitely promotes pre-approved talking points from CIG.

Has a bit of the paid influencer vibe, the way he started rolling out the red carpet for SC suddenly. So all through those exchanges he sounds to me like he's going 'Dont look behind the curtain, just... Have you ever seen an emerald this big?", before finally laughing as Toto pisses on the strange gnarled wizard behind the scenes... I dunno. He's only got 5k space-nuts subscribing, so it's probably not that. Just hawking his referral code or whatever. But he's definitely not an old-school devotee.

They're closed loving boxes! * If you could see out of the elevators you'd see them teleporting through the geometry because the levels weren't built for elevators! * You are now going to have to have your servers route the elevators around and there will be collision issues with every previous level! * You have large sections of the game, like the one in the clip, where the loving elevator paths are going to pass through open air! * It's a guarantee that you will introduce a dozen more unforeseen bugs Now, the one reason why they did this: * Your ship icon will now move "Realistically" while you are in the elevator. That's it. Break loving everything, for that one fidelitous bullet-point.

He’s entirely part of the Redbull marketing deal. He’ll stick around until his contract is up and then move onto another game and re-brand himself. He has nothing personally invested in this mess. I’m not sure what Bored’s deal is. But most of the others were just trying to squat in Star Citizen until it became the next big thing and propelled them into professional streaming careers. None of them imagined that we would be 7 years in and still years away from anything resembling a game. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Jul 3, 2019 |

Eh I'm taking a lot of it with a grain of salt, I'm sure even CIG knows there would be revolts among the whales if you could cheat yourself a ship that they paid $10k for. And they'll always keep pushing the PU as "coming soon" even if the SP mode becomes the focus.

I said come in! posted:When Chris Roberts first revealed Star Citizen and said that "no publisher would accept my pitch for this game." why was that not the first red flag to go off in peoples minds to stay away from this poo poo show? Because it was predicated on the "publishers are evil" narrative. In my experience, publishers are not directly evil, they just don't care about gamers - just the money. Roberts has burned hundreds of millions and in return has created an insurmountable mountain of technical debt, unusable poo poo code, and no ideas. Publishers simply dodged a $400 million bullet. If even one of them thought a profitable game could have come out of it they'd have backed him immediately. Look at things like Anthem, Fallout 76, and whatever the gently caress Activision/Blizzard have been doing. They're obviously not risk-averse, you could see those games failing from a mile off. Yet they figured they were still worth having a go. Imagine being a company that green-lights Anthem but when Chris comes along your immediate response is "LOL no."

Wow that's pretty interesting now that I read it more closely - I guess I skimmed it the first time. So they're basically saying that other actual players, on the PU, can become your own personal NPC slaves in the single-player game. How is this not the Black Mirror episode U.S.S. Callister? I guess it solves the problem of finding people willing to be space slaves. You just take away their free will in your own private fantasy version of the game. CIG certainly knows their backers.
