Bumble He posted:goddamit i am curious how this whole thing ends. By all logic it should have ended like 4, at least 3 years ago. We're already in scenario D. At some point the number of internet rubes with spare cash to throw at Roberts feat will lose critical mass, game development will slow even more, people will stop even pretending to play and that'll be the end of income and the company will fold. But its going to take awhile still. Roberts truly has reached Madoff levels.

It'll make PGabz look like a slightly chill northerner in comparison.

In the eyes of shitizens, the only time CIG can do something wrong is when they actually try to design game mechanics. Witness the uproar over the golf swing sensor system, or the drink mixing minigame, which are both actually achievable with CIG's level of competence.

Sarsapariller posted:Squadron 42 fails to release on time, or releases as a disaster. Either way it doesn't sell any copies. This is the correct answer. Everyone will say they only spent $45 for the starter pack anyway because they already know what a complete tool it makes them look to have spent thousands on digital spaceships in Star Citizen. You already see it with some of the reddit white knights - Me? Well I was gifted 100 ships and someone just gave me $1000 for being part of Star Citizen. That's how little I've sunk into this project. See, you can''t accuse me of sunk costs, but you should definitely buy an Idris.

I think it was the audience/backers reaction. The fact that you get so hyped over something so mundane is just mind boggling. Think of that audience being your publisher and you can get away with anything.

It boggles my mind that a game with instanced fights between people controlling some big ships, some in small ships and the rest shooting lasers while boarding the big ships would be feasible and probably fun. But no, you need real life, but in space, and now you're the captain, and other guys are just scrubs doing menial tasks in your deluxe ship, and NPCs with state of the art AI, everything persistent, etc.

I would actually say that an instanced setup like that is the ONLY way it would be fun. With the caveat that I haven't played Eve so I don't know how well that game does it, what I remember most from all my time playing Planetside 1 or 2 is the 95% of the time where I was just standing around waiting for something to happen, travelling, or engaged in combat that was so clearly one-sided that it wasn't fun for either party. The other 5% of the time when the stars aligned and you had a balanced, fun battle, the adrenaline rush came mostly from how rare it was, but the actual mechanics and gameplay weren't any better than what the Battlefield games already did every day.
