AFAIK, while they have thrown out a lot of the old stuff (that they made $$$ from) Death of a Spaceman is still going to be a thing... i mean, out of all the mechanics that would gently caress me off the most, that one tops the list.

Typos and all, it reads like something a 15 year old space nerd might have written during a particularly dull double maths lesson. It’s literally just a manic steam of consciousness from someone with mild autism, instead of a plan for an actual video game. I can’t imagine all the time and money wasted trying to make Chris’ moronic “vision” come to life; only to figure out its impossible in their broken CryEngine mod, then they just shove caves into the game and call it progress. To be fair though, buried deep down in the poo poo pile that is SC are a few decent or interesting ideas. Like I could picture an interesting and fun realistic/hard sci-fi space sim along the lines of the Expanse, in which your both your spaceman and your ship is a complex simulation. But it would take really talented leadership and devs working in a custom engine to make it happen and make it actually fun. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Oct 30, 2019 |

colonelwest posted:realistic/hard sci-fi space sim I agree that such a game would be interesting, but the idea of Star Citizen being (or ever seriously trying to be) a sim is a myth. There is nothing realistic about jet fighters in space. These nerds want a game set in space, except they remove everything that would make it interesting (thinking about how space combat might actually work, proper gravity simulation, time dilation and traveling huge distances etc). For them, simulation is just a euphemism for "like Star Wars", but where you can listen to your high-poly Fascist bunkmate doing buggy motion-captured wanking while stationed off the moon of Rebus V or whatever the gently caress. zebedy fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Oct 30, 2019 |

Star Citizen: More red flags than China

Kosumo posted:Star Citizen: More red flags than China An excellent new Star Citizen chapter could be Chris partnering with a Chinese game company to continue funding. Then they can start retrofitting the entire game to appeal to the Chinese gaming mindset, making an even bigger cash shop with thousands of new ships locked behind loot crates and gambling games. Eventually the game will be a phone app that will pit your ship against other ships like a Pokemon game. Then we can watch the backers defend all of this as what they paid for the whole time and even better than they hoped.

CIG being bought in a fire sale by some Chinese conglomerate and turned into a video game sweatshop churning out lovely micro-transaction F2P MMO bullshit would be the best outcome we could hope for. The entertainment would be so rich, that I’d be willing to fly to China on my own dime and make the sales pitch to Tencent myself. My entire presentation would just be a slideshow of quotes from SC whales bragging about how much money they’ve spent and how big their e-peens are. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Oct 30, 2019 |

I thought network guys were gold dust? Isn't a £40k baseline offer a bit lowball for a senior position? (Also that position says applications were by June latest. At least just put up a fresh ad like the old days. Recruitment guy needs better coffee.)

Sledge Roberts: Trust Me, I Know What I'm Doing* *Having you fund the game in my head; which is me directing Hollywood actors, flying first class, driving porches, having my own cult of personality, buying a mansion, being steve jobs, I'm on a boat, paying myself with your money for things I thought of before you gave me your money, absolving myself of some stuff, having a convention to con citizens out of more money that I call Citizencon, selling off 10% of the company that you funded for my own profit, gently caress you/got mine - I'm a winner. - that's the true Chris Roberts BDSSE.

This is something that really bothers me. They swing between trying to be realistic but absolutely nothing in the game is. "Oh you can't do that because the lore/physics/whatever" "We also have magic gravity goo and spaceships behave like WW2 fighters". This lack of internal consistency pollutes everything, from the narrative to the ship designs. Notice how some have thrusters and others don't? RCS thrusters are gimbaled (pretty dumb idea and dumb looking to boot) rather than fixed? Ship layouts don't make any sense, nothing in this game consistently makes sense because all it is is a mix of ideas from better properties. Sarsapariller posted:job offer for like 60% of the average pay for a position 40,000 pounds = $51,000 USD.
