I can't tell if it was intentional that they named them Xi'an and Xi'an Cuisine when there is a place on Earth called Xi'an and a cuisine called Xi'an Cuisine. It seems kinda bad to name your aliens and alien cuisine after a region and cuisine in China.

It's because they're Asian themed aliens. They even live in the 'east'. It is 1000% intentional and incredibly lazy.

But like they couldn't even make up a fake name they just named them after an actual place and cuisine.

Imagination! Also, their other aliens are barbarian Vanduul and merchant, money-lending Banu. Tippis fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Oct 29, 2019 |

Now i'm imagining a Chinese made Star Citizen in which there is an alien race called New York that only eats thin crust pizza and deli sandwiches well talking in a bizarre alien language called English.

It hasn't flopped because it doesn't exist. The "game" is about in the same place as it was a few years ago, there's a pre-alpha demo/test bed/whale toy and the company continues to sell ships for said pre-alpha. There have been a few improvements, more players, planets you can land on, etc. But by an large it's still a buggy half baked mess of clashing ideas and quarter realized dreams trapped in development hell, all while the gullible throw money at it to buy the JPG of the ship of their dreams.

He was in one of the 200 identical rest stops, picking up a box for a delivery mission, then struggling to remember which pad to ride the elevator back to. Yep that's pretty much Star Citizen. Thrill-a-minute.

Why is the Star Citizen equivalent of sky mall interviewing a random nobody bartender at what is - let's be honest - an outdoor food stall? i think they made that fluff piece about the bartender basically as an excuse to now show off the star studded mocapped bartender animations in the next video they put out, its just marketing on top of marketing for more marketing Quavers posted:It's not a scam because... ah she must use the same tailor as crobberts!

Why can I not see him in game? Even if I can find it in the game why is he levitating 6m above the ground with his head stuck in the roof? Even if he is there and working, why can I not do anything with him? I mean drinking water or beer isn't even I. The game. Why would you draw attention to any of this ... It's like sale pitch for a car yard that has no cars only a few bits of random rusty metal and a single bald spare trye ....

DigitalPenny posted:This amazing bar tender is going to be so impressive... It’s really amazing how empty the game is. Even the pointless fidelity minutiae they show off barely has any depth to it. Chris’ dumb obsession with seedy bars and the ungodly amount of time and money his team of 22 year old devs have spent trying to recreate an experience that is an after thought in most games is hilarious. Like you can go up to a bartender and have a 50% chance of getting 1 of 3 canned responses spoken to you. Then you can order beer or whiskey, neither of which have any effect on your character or gameplay. Then you can grab your drink and have a 50% chance of it falling out of your hand and clipping through the floor as your frame rate tanks, or if you’re lucky you can fidelitously swirl it around, but the plane of the liquid is never parallel to the floor. That’s it, that’s what years of work and millions of dollars have resulted in; something orders of magnitude worse than the radiant AI in Oblivion. which came out almost 14 years ago.

Well, and you can more or less ride a train now or walk around in caves if you can find them.
