2019. New Star Citizen video:

50+ minutes, showing a game asset in development software. Absolutely no in-game or in-current-engine footage whatsoever.

Normal and expected, but still somehow unbelievable.

It’s weird to think that most of the mo cap cast will have aged enough to be unrecognisable to the youth market when it finally releases. Hell, some of the cast will probably be dead by then.

they aren't targeting the youth market, they're targeting the manchild market

everything about it, from the game concept to the acting cast to Chris Roberts himself, is banking on nostalgia for the 90s with people who are now in their 40s and 50s

Maybe the best way to handle this is to give Chris Roberts awards for his manipulation of large swathes of clueless idiots, wannabe rapists and furries.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.
I am sorry, how the gently caress do people still believe in this game. like at best, it will be some alright flight sim campaign that will come out maybe. like i think they showed a new ship off for sale for like 300 bucks to the "premium supporters" and others and the ships were "limited" and like 350 bucks at lowest price and they were gone in seconds. like what gently caress?

I guess if real life is pathetic enough, some turbo dweebs will pay any amount to keep this farce going. Maybe false hope is better than no hope at all.

EVE, an actually competent space nerd game, removed mines from the game because they take up a huge amount of processing power. I look forward to seeing the Star Citizen engine tackle this when it doesn't even handle ships correctly.

the weird fantasies are the whole point, the people who are still super-invested don't play other games and have no frame of reference for why the endless promises are impossible.

star citizen is like a RP server, except the server is reddits and forums, and you can fool yourself into believing it's not RP and everything is real if you try / have enough $$$ sunk.

They'll add mines into the game, which will be buggy and blow the ships up

It's a feature, though, as really the pilots are just failing the built in (also hidden) mine laying minigame

The first time they try to add mines, they will explode at random inside the mine laying ship , as it poops them out one will hit a strut or brace and kablammo goodbye 675$

This is almost guaranteed

Actually I reverse that , the chances are much higher the mines wont even explode at all

Ships will bump into them full speed and they will go careening off into the void

Rememeber when missiles were first introduced (and I understand they still just barely work 10% of the time) and you'd see missiles bouncing off ships and drunkenly nosing around like a snake with no fangs

Hey everyone, lets be fair. Im sure there was a mistake and the menu was missing some info.

Sources tell me the the Green Sauce had a mild, spicy flavor similar to Tostitos and was served with tortilla Asteroid chips.
