Finally caught up on thousands of posts, and the notion that someone posted of Crobbers going EGS exclusive to obtain more funding and the inevitable citizen reaction had me rolling.

Epic should take all of the games that people are mega butthurt about them signing as exclusives and make them the free game of the week starting the day they become available to other platforms.

The level of energy put out in nerd outrage will briefly outshine the sun.

And Chris has already said that SC will never be "complete" so its Beta cannot be (by definition) feature complete. You obviously know nothing of software development. You're dismissed.

Jokes aside, this is SQ42 that's being referred to, not SC, and as a narrative-driven solo game they're going to HAVE to declare it done at some point and stop adding stuff. I'll be legitimately surprised if they're able to do that by next year, and curious as to what they deem a "beta". Like, what even is the point of releasing a beta of a singleplayer title? Wouldn't you want players to wait until the game is finished to experience the narrative?

They've got your concerns covered. Chris had the vision to realize he couldn't actually make anything, so years ago he revealed to the world that SQ42 comes in "episodes." What constitutes an episode? They didn't say, which means we can conclude the first episode as being "the amount we got working when we were forced to ship" and any subsequent episodes, yet to release and which have no release date, are where the real content really kicks into overdrive. And if the first episode is so woeful that you can't even really call it an episode? Never fear, that's the SQ42 "prologue" which will consist of a badly done corridor, some horrendous motion-capture, the worst "writing" you've ever heard, and nothing else. Once the backers play the prologue, it will prove the rest of the game is real and definitely coming out and for certain they should keep pledging.

Star Citizen proper isn't the only infinite-layer lie Chris told or sold.

I tried getting back into Warframe and it is a directionless mess. I was googling as much as I was playing the game for the first couple of days back. They seem to abandon new concepts as quickly as they add them? I still had fun, and it's one of those few games that actually plays well on satellite internet because it's all client side. That's a pretty small list of games.

The carrier trailer looks cool, good job Elite.

Yeah, pretty much. They implement some really cool ideas just enough to get them working, but to keep the interest of players who spend money they have to keep pumping out new ideas, so nothing every really gets developed beyond its initial release. I mean, to be fair, that initial release tends to be pretty well polished for the dev time they take, but in my opinion if DE focused on ONE of their cool ideas and expanded it they could make a whole nother amazing game. Instead, entire gameplay modes just decay in irrelevancy, and the game just keeps getting more daunting for a new player to comprehend.

If they do indeed have an investor who is mandating a release, they might. But yeah, I agree, never underestimate the power of CR to kick the can down the road. My bet is more and more resources will be sucked from SQ42 to make more stuff to sell in the PTU and development will slow even more to a crawl.

It's bonkers that SQ42 has a hard deadline release next year and they still don't have enough to actually show anything at a major games convention. I mean of course they don't have anything to show, but the fact that Citizens don't see how that's a pretty huge red flag is something else.

The issue here is all the red flags were from like 3 years ago. That was the flag zone.

At this point you are going into it knowing you're getting screwed. Red flags mean nothing to you. You just like to be abused, and taken.

A lot of people are probably still buying on "curiosity" too. Like "how bad can it really be lol" and "I wonder if it's so janky it's good" kind of things.

This is effectively the product of a roadmap where every step of the way except things not related to coding a game was a red flag.

Congrats on pretty meshes, high resolution textures, and a stupid alien language. That's your product deliverable here.

Good to know Star Citizen is still in a neck and neck battle against what is now effectively an old game, where even the original studio that built it has already built two other whole, entire, award winning games.

Uh... good job guys. I bet Star Citizen is totally gonna come out and really show Elite Dangerous who's boss, 6 or so years later.

So I didn't watch this, but a while ago I recall I gave some twitter guy poo poo because he was all excited about going to work QA at CIG, and I implied it was a very low end job. Unless of course if it's somebody doing unit test programming or regression test development. So I guess my question is was it the high end QA that involves coding experience and skill, or is it literally a room full of 3 guys playing the video game non stop?

Hey twitter guys... remember back 4 years ago when this was happening on their public forums on stop? That's called a red flag.

So now years later they have not only totally hidden their forums from the public because they can't handle people in a constructive manner, and everything they allow is only designed to ensure they look good to get money.... they are still doing this bad thing.

The red flag era is gone. You guys are just wallowing around in red paint at this point, letting the sloppy flops of your wishful bodies throw red paint on everything while CIG remains behind a glass wall now, watching you and slapping you with long sticks when you get too far out of the paint.
