I've mostly only watched SC from a distance but I think for the true believers part of it is this makes them feel like they're part of a exclusive community that only true wealth gains access to, it makes them feel like they're maritime shipping CFOs, hedge fund managers, or Bahraini yacht aficionados. The type of people who have to write letters explaining why they deserve to be allowed to buy the new limited edition Lamborghini or whatever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKFzOntgySk

Was SQ42 seriously not even mentioned at their flagship conference? The game that is supposed to be finished next year, and is the culmination of years of groundbreaking floor-mopping npc tech? This is good for Star Citizen.

MedicineHut posted:Why do you say so? Due to the way how he sold his idea for his Kickstarter asking people to make his dream game which he said he had been working on which it is now extremely apparent he had no idea or design document of what it was. Once he started to get an abundance of money he continued to just ask for more all the while employing his family and friends who are far from qualified to deliver on anything close to the promises he made. That deception he undertook regarding Sandi, his wife while not making this know, shows the level of respect he gives to the people who believe in him. His choice of business practices, selling 'concept ships, i.e. jpegs or dlc for a game that was yet to be developed and then trying to frame this as he was not selling anything, that it was just a "pledge" , and he does not own you anything; is truly insulting to those who did believe in him. His betrayal of Crytek and the assistants they had given him is also a sign of his character. He has a history of breaking contracts. (Of which he has continued to do). He is also very arrogant and nihilistic - absolving himself of wrongdoing as though it was not his fault. He is creatively bankrupt and openly plagiarizes other people's work. He shows no sign of having a moral compass. All of that and also the fact that he does not seem to care at all about gaming and is only in it for the self satisfaction of controlling/directing others and the enrichment of himself and his family and friends. That is why I say that Chris Roberts is a very scummy man but I could be wrong. Kosumo fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Nov 25, 2019 |

I don't think they are going to cruise into the 11 million I forecast this year... I feel like the wheels are actually comming of this time. A new game mode that will be more buggy than star marine thats been done as side note to sq42 / PU. A new entry level ship. That som what works maybe but is hardly enough to get the whale oil flowing. That janky demo where nothing works 8 years in...

Inspector Gesicht posted:Who's going to do the best documentary on this affair? Not necessarily the most professional maker, just the most informative. Someone who has inkling as to how games are produced and doesn't need to explain everything in layman's. The greatest laugh out of this would be if it launched Derek Smart's career into making high quality documentary movies about videogames and scams. If Derek could gain some recognition in the movie industry where Chris got run out, that would be amazing.  Did he just throw a JPEG at someone?

Kosumo posted:Due to the way how he sold his idea for his Kickstarter asking people to make his dream game which he said he had been working on which it is now extremely apparent he had no idea or design document of what it was. Morally bankrupt, egotistical and incompetent. A dude with no dream or vision of star citizen jumped in after two many red bulls and made more of game of star citizen than Chris in did with all his vision dreams, millions of dollars and years of time. He has just sat on the side lines and shat on people doing any creative work and calling it vision. If he had any idea on what to do he would have realeased a product by now. He certainly would not be thinking about trying to push out some new game mode 8 years in after one shouty streamer pushed a mountain of poo poo up hill to try and make some sort of fun in his game. When, not if this all goes to poo poo chris, there is no absolution, you and you alone were responsible for producing the game, who knows what you did but it certainly did not involve making a game. Blush and wave your hands go back to your mansion, the only thing you will have accomplished is fleecing the mentally weak and wasting everyone's time for the better part of decade. Im sure history will look back speak kindly to Chris and his contribution to the creative works of man kind. Scummy is to kind a word.

Popete posted:It's pretty clearly a direct response to Rexzilla's mild success at streaming SC. It's a colossal amount of work for Rexzilla and ZDF to coordinate in SC as it is so they built this mode to better facilitate their "missions" and hopefully get some kind of audience for SC cause as it stands no one gives a crap about this game anymore. Rex and crew is probably not gonna have as much fun when they aren't the only 30+ people on the server anymore.

Checking in on the citcon thread on one of the largest gaming news site in my country, and the cultists are out in full force. They were all blown away by the fidelity and quality, and mesmerized by the panels. One of them called ”Tony ’THE GOD’ Z”, and said that his faith was now entirely restored after that panel. Server side OCS was also mentioned several times as the thing that is going to turn everything around. Meanwhile, I watched the final keynote by Chris live on discord with a few buddies that are just superficially aware of SC, and they were in awe of how shoddy it looked, in this the year 2019. They could hardly believe it when I told them that this is 7 years late and 300 million dollars in. Erenthal fucked around with this message at 12:56 on Nov 25, 2019 |

Anyways from a developer: quote:The trees are one area we’d like to put more focus into. We’re already spawning ‘clusters’ of trees rather than individual trees in the distance to reduce cost but we probably need more bespoke tech here to save performance and therefore allow smoother transitions. Bespoke tech. Wonder what term they will come up with next to handle trees.

I've only just caught up with Citizencon. The Pyro thing was obviously faked, right? They're emphasising in the presentation it's streaming out one environment and streaming in another, but the portal has a massive gas cloud blocking what's behind it, the camera clips outside of the tunnel and reveals they're just going through the gas cloud and then they've stuck a vista on the other side of the gas cloud. If the gas cloud had glitched and gone transparent you'd have seen the other environment sitting there. And yet no one on the reddit seems to have twigged, not even the inevitable post in controversial downvoted to zero with a guy sticking his head above the parapet.

Beet Wagon posted:So, 90% of the game right now involves picking up unique crates, putting them in your cargo hold, and transporting them. It's what most missions ask you to do, and it's what makes you money the fastest. But you literally cannot put a box in the Mustang: fun fact: when i got my account back from this guy who stole it (long story) i found it had a super hornet and a mustang omega. estimated black market price for my account would be nearing $400 i cant play the "game" because neither of them can carry a loving box. i looked if i could "downgrade" to a pisces but crobertsstore.com doesn't let you downgrade, only give them more money.
