FUdsters you won’t believe this but they made No Man’s Sky good and it’s an actually functioning Star Citizen now -took off from a planet into space, no load screen -a giant sphere appears out of nowhere, I land in it, it’s a massive multiplayer hub area with a bunch of different players who all look different that you can interact with + vendors that don’t charge a P2W currency -I landed in a giant capital ship and bought it out from the owner and it turns out - you can build out the interior with whatever rooms and layout you want with plenty of decorations, like fish tanks and a terrarium -you can buy other frigates to add to your fleet and send them off on expeditions -you can build vehicles to travel over ground and underwater -you can build bases both over land and underwater that grow plants, mining, etc. -you can meet up with other players in the world and go on adventures together Chris Roberts is doomed! Edit: OH and all of this works flawlessly in VR on my Oculus Rift S

Huh, seems all the press articles these days are mostly a negative slant, if they write at all. I’m not calling that bad for CIG, since that was a lot of last year too and they are still stumbling along just fine. But at some point don’t searches about the company or game only turn up negative press?

So here we go: Star Citizen developer Roberts Space Industries has a new exclusive ship out for select backers. It lays mines and has a serial number and it costs $675.

I think that what's happening here is that CIG did their presser blitz this morning, or yesterday, and all the lazy game writers who would normally just republish it verbatim have been burned by Star Citizen articles so many times that they bothered to do a cursory google search, which will turn up the big subreddit drama threads. Hence all their complaints sounding suspiciously like they were sourced directly from those threads.

Just about article I've read links to the same Resetera thread that they all seem to be sourcing from, so they're not trying to hide it. But yeah. I can't remember the last time I saw a bunch of news sites just repeat CIG's press releases like they do for other companies. No one outside the bubble cares about Star Citizen anymore besides its potential for mockery. All these sites have seen Diakatana and DNF and they're not buying it again.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Just about article I've read links to the same Resetera thread that they all seem to be sourcing from, so they're not trying to hide it. I've thought of the Daikatana and DNF comparisons before, and they are apt comparisons, but there's also something missing. In Daikatana's case, there was a lot of rockstar ego going on, bad communication, it's all out there to research. However, John Romero did know how to make a game, just not a good one. The developers there knew what they were doing. Of course it wasn't good but it more or less functioned as intended. Except maybe the AI. DNF was just in a ridiculous development hell, there was nothing really stopping it except they were the opposite of CIG - every time they had a new idea, they threw out everything they had and started over. Eventually it just languished for years (I have no evidence but I'm personally convinced they actually just stopped development) until another company came in out of nowhere and said "OK guys do you want us to make a DNF game or not." In that sense DNF wasn't really in development all that time, because in the end it was all tossed and a totally separate company made their own game using that license. Star Citizen was coming along until about 2014. Something happened with Chris and he went all the way off the rails, they lost actual game developers, and now the whole thing is a giant broken model viewer being massaged by fresh college grads. Unlike the above two examples, the people at CIG have no idea how to make a game and have no shipped titles (except Erin and technically Chris if you go back far enough.) Chris still thinks "3D models + motion-capture = game" so there's no chance for a release beyond a series of cutscenes linked together by slow hallway navigation, reminiscent of Myst. Which frankly is the era he seems intent on bringing everyone back to. Scruffpuff fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Aug 26, 2019 |

I really feel like every news article should use the Chris Roberts boat pic as their stock headline photo whenever they write about Star Citizen.

I am increasingly grateful of that fact. I'm just hungering for them to move from "wait a minute, this is one of those games that takes forever to come out" to "wait a minute, they were never actually making a game because they lacked the qualifications to do so." Sarsapariller linked a cool journal that had this nice paragraph that describes Chris Roberts self-image as a "developer" and "director": A cool journal posted:It is well known that persons protect themselves with all kinds of rationalizations when they have a buried image of themselves which the facts of their status do not support. A person may tell himself many things: that he has not been given a fair chance; that he is not really interested in becoming something else; that the time for showing his mettle has not yet come; that the usual means of realizing his desires are personally or morally distasteful, or require too much dull effort. By means of such defenses, a person saves himself from committing a cardinal social sin - the sin of defining oneself in terms of a status while lacking the qualifications which an incumbent of that status is supposed to possess.
