I've finally completed the old thread. This new thread seems to grow about twice as fast as the old one. I'm afraid I'm not going to catch up like this. What is causing this? Is CIG̸ producing lots of lolworthy material? Has Cry been rekt? Is it lots of new people leaving r/starcitizen? Is it lots of people posting from the games subforum?

It gets a big pass for being mainly functional and pretty, but it's still shot through with SC-style overreach. Not sure lauding its select strengths vs the deficits of other games means that much. But I'll still laugh, and have a play, if they double down and add FPS in 2020, as events keep suggesting: I guess NMS will have another annual freebie update by then too. Probably exploration richness of something. Should be a fun year XD

Time for another summary of INSIDE STAR CITIZEN The show about portraying basic engine-level accomplishments as major development milestones! Summary begins: * We open with model-viewer shots of a new spaceship instead of Jared talking for once, a refreshing change. * It is the Banu Defender. It is generic and alien. Vocoder voices play over spooky alien music. It has organic interiors because all true space aliens must grow their ships. * Oh now Jared is talking and he has loving "Producer" in his title. Hahahahahahaha skip skip skip * Today we are rambling about mission sharing. Devs are explaining why this fundamental mechanic that should have been included at the loving launch of the game three years ago is very important and a big win for them. Don't break your wrist jerking yourselves off there, guys. * If you are too much of a crime-doer you will not be able to land at good, lawful locations. Of course you can just like, park right loving next to them and get out? It's awfully nice of everyone to constantly declare that they are wanted criminals before requesting landing. No more vehicle storage for you (unless you die!) because you're a nasty man (unless you die) and there's nothing you can do about it (except die, which you will do instantly anyway). I guess this is why they're throwing in space-jail soon: obviously being a horrible crime person is clearly not aggressively lovely enough. Also they're pretending that you're going to be hunted by the navy and bounty hunters. * Basically don't do crime missions, you will get hosed and there is no recourse except a 15+ minute waiting game to remove your stat. This is good game design. * They are now patting themselves on the back for having applied scaling to the same weapon attachment model so they'll fit three different sizes. I'm not kidding- it's the same model, just made bigger. * It is unclear if there are any mechanics attached to the attachment models that the man is showing. I would guess that no, there aren't. * Don't worry, they're refactoring the attachment models. Obviously the first ones they put out were just a first pass- real glad they took care of all the glaring art problems. * Good news, there is a mechanic after all! They have added a combat flashlight. It is literally blinding for anyone in front of you. * The suppressor makes your weapon sound different. Take a loving victory lap everyone. With this many stock-standard gameplay assets that deliver no surprises whatsoever, Star Citizen is sure to blow the doors off of that Call of Duty Space Game that came out like 2 years ago. * I guess we're not talking about that interdictor ship after all. I really figured it would get all the attention but they must not be ready to sell it, or the actual mechanic doesn't work. * Now we're talking about face customization. Again. * I don't care. Nobody cares. The whole game requires you to wear a face-obscuring space helmet. * SHIP RENTALS OMG * They are demoing the ship rental. They are not commenting on the ludicrous prices in the demo video. "Ship insurance is covered... as normal." i.e. there is no such thing as lifetime insurance you loving dorks, there's just ship blow up and ship respawn. Just loving admit it. * Jared is talking again, that means it's over.

These weekly videos are not only tedious and awful to watch, they're just so pointless. Anything remotely interesting is relegated by Chris to the CIG Skunkworks, only to be revealed at the next big demo-slash-sale. They aren't allowed to talk about any of the poo poo they're actually working on, so why even bother to make the loving show? While they were going on and on about caves, they were clearly doing final polish on this brand-new spaceship. The weeks before that, they were all-hands-on-deck for the minelayer or what the gently caress ever. Why not, I don't know, talk about the mechanics that you actually intend to release soon in the weekly videos you produce? It feels like they Chris actively detests the fans at this point. Like he's working really hard to show them as little of the actual development going on in his studios as possible. I know the thread's going to come in and knee-jerk "That's because there is no development" but there clearly is, there's obviously stuff that they work on year-round for the big ships and major demos or whatever. But they aren't allowed to talk about it. It's so loving weird.

What is this hardon for punishing lawbreakers before anyone even knows how pirate/criminal gameplay will be profitable? Yes, sure, it should be hard to be a lawbreaker, but isn't it supposed to be an supported career choice?Sarsapariller posted:They aren't allowed to talk about any of the poo poo they're actually working on, so why even bother to make the loving show?

That's why they got so mad when they don't actually cover any new stuff (like the staggered development one) or are too short. Notice how many comments are about "THIS is what the ISC episodes should be like, so much content!" but not about the actual things that were discussed.

In one of those videos recently posted the guy points out that anytime you pvp in SC people flip a loving poo poo and call you names in chat even though all progress gets wiped occasionally so it doesn't even matter. SC crowd are all people who thought they'd be the one guy with the big ship blowing everybody up because they spent $2,000. But everybody else did too, so they're actually on an equal footing, and they seriously can't handle that. Star Citizen will basically have to disable pvp to make them happy, but in doing so will make the entire game invalid and pointless. Its an amazing contradiction of desires. Star Citizens just fundamentally have not considered the consequences. They want to be able to gank people, but don't want to be able to be ganked. That's impossible to reconcile, but its what they believe. Doublethink.

On this specific point - he's obviously been taking classes, the whole "faux naturel while obviously acting" shtick is really jarring. Can't blame him for polishing his show reels for future employment off the teat of the gullible backer dollar though. Well, I could, but that would cause one of those episodes of cognitive dissonance/quantum paradox which Star Citizen seems to abound in. So I won't. Sarsapariller posted:* Jared is talking again, that means it's over. Maybe a bit more polish required - or more acting classes.

Or Crobbler realized that at some point he will need to cut the ties with the weirdos and also probably all the backers who might hold him accountable if he wants his masterpiece to actually sell when released. (It won't and it will crash and burn anyway) Or it's both.

I don't know, I literally begin skipping the second I see his face. You may note that it hasn't really impacted the informational content of the videos. Dude has basically taken the role of the woman who introduces the commercials to you if you show up at the movie theater too early. Except he's a lot loving smugger about it, which is actually really loving funny when I stop to think about it.

AbstractNapper posted:It could be that they want *something* to be a surprise or at least worthwhile content to show at CitCan. This is the excuse they use, but I think it's more just that they place absolutely zero value on old money. Do just enough that they can delude themselves, and no more. Don't even show them what you're working on- save that for shock-and-awe at the big convention, or for a big sale reveal. Yeah the backers paid to see it in development but gently caress them, they are horrible addicts who won't stop giving you money no matter what happens. The only thing that matters now is big-time investors, or new money, or whatever scheme Chris is targeting this year. Give the old money some C-reel footage and invite them to meet your loving QA people outside a bar at the next convention. There you go, obligations met.

Noooo, you misunderstand. If everyone paid to win, then they all must be winners. But they can't all be winners, because they're all on an equal "winning" footing. Therefore no-one paid to win. Conclusion: Star Citizen is not Pay2Win

Don't worry Sirmunchkin I can explain this criminal 'GAMEPLAY' thing to you, CI(not g) have you covered with a 15 minute cooldown timer on criminals and other naughty people, if they managed to survive that long without getting popped by evryone else the criminal stat is erased so they can continue to PLAY the GAME, if they die in that 15m window then they respawn so the can continue to PLAY the GAME! I hope this helps you understand that its a game and not good for gameplay to do a lovely "Law and Order" episode in it every time someone ganks a commando.
