chaosapiant posted:Is this a thing you made up or is this a real thing CIG *implemented*? I honestly can't tell anymore. Well, you see, CIG thought that their old way of letting people press F to open doors and such was not fidelicious enough. Instead, they replaced it with a system where you hold down a button (I think it's F by default) and get interaction prompts popping up for things like opening doors, turning on a ship's power or sitting on chairs. You can then mouse over an interaction prompts to perform said interaction, meaning that opening a simple door now requires the player to hold F, mouse over the correct interaction prompt and click on it.

Why the gently caress would anyone think that's a good system? Unless there's multiple interactions for doors? Like, if there's multiple, then I kinda get it, but if there's a menu with one option, just default to that and let me open doors.

Hello, Dishonored has more than one option for doors and it still doesn't use dumb non-sense menus for it. There's a button to look through the keyhole and a button to open the door. It's neato. I also really like Dishonored. I like how it's a game that you can play from start to finish and I didn't have to spend $2000 to play as the main character.

This bears (hah) repeating but this is the truth and want to express to the new folks here we aren't blowing smoke/trolling our replies to entertain ourselves at your expense. 99% of the poo poo posted here is usually the crazy rear end truth straight from CIG. Fact really is stranger than fiction. Reminds me. Sort of forgot about the whole Coutts thing and having to wheel Ortwin out of his coffin on a Sunday.

Like, imagine trying to replicate a bug only to have 4 new bugs gently caress the attempt over. Like, do they have metrics like "seconds until bug"?

The sequel is perhaps a bit less fun, but still good. As I recall, on PC you would press E or F to open a door and hold the same button to look through the keyhole. Simple, elegant and perfectly reasonable.

Speaking of one more day. All the UK companies involved in this were due to file their 2018 accounts by today. The company formerly known as Foundry 42 Ltd had managed to file its accounts on time for the last three years or so but with the new name they are back in line with the other companies in missing the deadline. So that's good I guess.

Guys I've seen inside the development of Star Citizen, and it's so advanced you can't even begin to comprehend the things they're doing. Code? No. There is no code. That's how advanced the development is. Pretty much, if you or Chris Roberts can imagine it, it's in the game and working. They're telling me you won't even need to download anything to play Star Citizen. They call it the Dreams Engine.
