Zeond posted:Yakuza 0 is incredibly good but the final two dance battle substories are nearly impossible and Miracle's second substory is even harder. I somehow managed to beat Isobe by 60 points but resorted to cheat engine after twenty attempts at beating Ogita. Thankfully beating Miracle is not necessary to complete the substory and Kiryu accepted that he'd never beat the king of pop. As I recall, it's easiest to do those dance battles on medium difficulty, as it's easier for the player than hard but the NPC opponent also does less well than on easy.

It's like the only thing that fits. Speaking with a friend of mine who does paid Marvel cosplay (in addition to children's charity events), he said that using top end fabricators for a highly detailed costume like Iron Man or even The Predator would be between $5k-$7k to produce. That must have been a hell of a watch he was wearing Quote from my buddy "Like a full on movie-grade Vader is about $5000". Corzen fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Sep 18, 2019 |

If the 100k rumour was real, they would have just told us what it was for instead of alluding to it.

What does this have to do with any... ah. They needed to jam the word "flyable" in there so people who don't know any better would think this isn't a scam. Doesn't hurt to tenuously link to a real property while they're at it. Star Citizen is like a malignant tumor that attaches to and feeds from actual existing products and services. It's embarrassing as gently caress to have Star Citizen attempt to attach itself to your property. Poor Lego.

chaosapiant posted:Nothing I said had anything to do with me backing or checking out Star Citizen, so I'm not sure what "baited by Chris's dream" means? I've never pledged or given any money to CIG, so I'm not sure if you're actually answering my post or someone else's by mistake? It was a general comment. I include myself in the "you". The reason I say "baited by Chris's dream" is that the expectations / standards for space games have mostly become unrealistic. Instead of being happy with cool space games, everybody will now slam those games because they're not the ultimate thing. There was a recent article from the Everspace guys that goes deeper into that, I dunno if anybody has the link to that interview ? Basically they explained that tons of players gave them poo poo because Everspace didn't have space legs, trading or other sandboxy elements. For a game with a $700K budget. Meanwhile the Star Citizen dream does not exist either. We're now living in a weird time were player's expectations are totally disconnected to reality and we have Chris Roberts to thank for that.

I did this for a while until I got a real nice Cease and Desist letter from Microsoft for the Master Chief armor I was making and selling quite a few years back. Materials alone would be in the $5k arena. Hell, the molding process alone using platinum cured silicone was in the thousands and about 100+ hours of sculpting. But there is nothing there that looked anywhere near the $100k mark. The most complicated thing to make is a full helmet mold and all they did was add some stickers to some store bought motorcycle helmets. More theft I suppose. But watching that video again sure showed me one thing. That one commando was REALLY super pumped to point that gun at Sandi and have her on her knees. Wasn't that that Shap Cap sperg?

Scruffpuff posted:Space Court isn't entirely boring. My favorite part was when the cult theorycrafted whether or not the judge would compromise her work ethic because her dad something something space, therefore she'd see the incredible things CIG was trying to do. The arrogance was staggering - the fact that they equate Chris Roberts's brain-fart with some kind of monumental advancement in our understanding and appreciation of space exploration - and that their failed-model viewer is so incredible that a US judge would literally sacrifice her job to defend it. Peak Space Court was the group of Citizens writing letters to the Judge about how amazing Chris’ vision is and imploring her to dismiss the case.

So, here's what I understand: Indeed, movie quality off the shelf Vader costume is about $5k on average, yes. But that's from a pre-made mold and the assumption is you're an average sized dude. So the question becomes how can you inflate a cosplay costume's price to stupidly high levels of expense? There are three ways I know of for sure. 1) You hire a professional Hollywood costume shop to make it on rush. Not some independent crafts(wo)man ahead of time. Valuable time, and quality unionized labor. You need something good quickly? That's going to cost money. No no, I don't think you- Oh, you'd like to give us that much money. Okay, sure. Hey boys, we got a moneybags order, let's get it done and then get drunk. 2) Custom tailoring. You are not using any pre-made molds for form-fitting parts. You have to cast and measure the "talent". That requires new work that cost-saving measures of prior prefabs cannot help you with. 3) Revisions. I mean, this is the Roberts we're talking about. The first go-at-it is never accepted. Now, the question of "Is it Sandi's costume alone, or the collective price tag of all the costumed folks" still has to be answered. There's a vagueness in sources that leaves that portion un-clarified. I'm still researching it.

Rotten Red Rod posted:W O W From the company that made a company based off of stealing artwork, the stuff their own customers do is also now being stolen. It's a steal-ception the likes of which only a company so great could do! I mean you'd think that they could easily log into their totally done alpha game and take their own screenshots, instead of have to waste time doctoring other people's screenshots. But I guess that involves actually playing the game. Something not even Chris Roberts is dumb enough to do. It's a good thing CIGs customers are willing to play that poo poo and pull out something that looks good, otherwise it's renders from Maya photoshopped on top of google image search pictures for beaches, sunsets, and clouds all day long.

Nyast posted:I've been "arguing" with a guy that they already had hundreds of developers a year or two after the Kickstarter. Got called a liar. Linked CIG's own promotional videos where they explicitely gave the numbers ( hint: 110 devs at Citcon 2013 and 268 devs in June 2014 ). I'd love to get links to those videos if you don't mind- I like to keep a handy list of various times CIG has outright stated things that run completely counter to the believed narrative, and the entire 'how long in development with how many people' is one of the more common ones.
