UnknownTarget posted:ED bashers always get a lol out of me. Most of the people playing that game are ones that have sunk hundreds of hours in but still complain about nothing to do. I'm sorry it's not your forever game? It is a strange attitude to be sure when talking about ED. It's not like the game has really changed much from when it launched so if it has been ok for 500 hours they probably got their money's worth. There are, obviously, legitimate issues that can happen after 100+ hours in something. I was looking at buying Steep (alpine sports game by Ubisoft) and some of the negative reviews with 100+ hours played mentioned one or more patches that not only changed the physics to make the gameplay go from great to bad but also made it so the game suddenly would not launch on a bunch of older CPUs. Stellaris had the massive changes around 2.0 that made the game very different from what it had been before and upset a lot of people to make them no longer recommend the game. Those reasons seem like fair grounds to complain, but ED now isn't really a different experience from ED around launch as far as I can tell.

I'm only here for the financial mismanagement and the hope that one day Chris Roberts will be revealed to the world as a giant idiot. Honestly the idea of star citizen is childish and poo poo. It's just "what if x wing but I get to get out of my x wing and roleplay as Han solo". That's cool if you're fourteen and if so then you shouldn't be spending money on this anyway, if you are a grown person and star citizen as an idea appeals to you just lol go ahead and pledge to Chris Roberts please Rabelais D fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Dec 4, 2019 |

What's interesting is Amazon GameTech or the official Lumberyard social media channels dont even talk about Star Citizen or Citizencon in the past 2 months. You'd think a game with a 250 million dollar budget using their engine would get at least a mention.

Some junior devs over at CIG could have put that in regular CryEngine/Lumberyard as a regular map and made a game about rescuing people lost in mountain blizzards.

Rabelais D posted:I'm only here for the financial mismanagement and the hope that one day Chris Roberts will be revealed to the world as a giant idiot. People have been after the Jesus Space Game for a long time. The one to rule them all, where the scale ranges from capital ships down to running with rifles, where capital ships duel overhead while teams of infantry fight to seize the shield generator. There's a lot of games that take stabs at it but most of them are reigned it by practical, technical, and budgetary limitations. In development right now in that vein are Executive Assault 2, Empyrion, and possibly Elite Dangerous that I know of; and some games take a similar approach but decide to scupper the FPS part, like the X-series. And historically there's a lot of games that have taken similar stabs at it, like Derek Smartgames, Star Wars Galaxies, and a few other incarnations. I just started playing around in Angels Fall First again which is yet another stab at integrated FPS/space combat in the same game and works pretty decently.

Bofast posted:But if you read the Reddit thread again the topic was the original poster saying he had bad performance and the responders saying he should change his graphics settings from Low to High as though that would somehow improve things. Introducing more of a GPU bottleneck when the framerate is already bad isn't going to help performance. Sure, it might stress the CPU less if the GPU becomes a bigger bottleneck instead, but that will just tank framerate even more. The best backers for the best developers.

It's not like the game has really changed much from when it launched so if it has been ok for 500 hours they probably got their money's worth. If anything, people agree that ED improved over time - there's better credit balance now (allowing you to reach end game ships within days, if you want to), the mining and exploration mechanics have improved drastically, PvP has issues, but it's still solid and didn't need big changes/fixes for some time now. There are still things that could be improved further without content creation spurt (PowerPlay, exclusive modules, etc), but that's always there in any MMO, there's always stuff to improve. I believe the ED discontent people come from several points: - discontent with the pace of development, expecting unrealistic speed of development (and SC will disappoint them as well) - discontent with the bugs (not an issue with me, but heard some people come across more serious ones, and boy, will SC disappoint them) - discontent with the scale The last point is a bit iffy - it's in general people who don't follow the development and then complain that FDev doesn't tell them future plans; or people that for some reason believe that Elite has been put into background over other titles, not knowing how much of a preferred child Elite is to David Braben. tl;dr: "This game has so much potential, but FDev isn't improving (fast enough) what I personally see as the potential (while leaving other thousands of players discontent with lack of progress on their "potential" ideas)"

Exploration,trading,mining have improved but these thing still lack new contend. BGS has gone worse since botting has become a thing and frontier still have not figured out way to fix it. To be fair this issue seems almost impossible to fix without pissing solo/private group players and it seems to affect only rare minority that this thing is used against. The game is still worth it if you buy it on sale and it still looks pretty. It just has potential it will never realize and its drat shame and it stems from the fact that the game doeskin know what it wants to be.

I believe the major malfunction ED shares with star citizen is the disconnect between high level design and what is/was actually achievable. And, unfortunately, in both the high level design is what was used to sell players and backers. ED managed to survive on the strength of a cool gimmick (the huge galaxy) and a strong combat/flight model. I struggle to see literally anything Star Citizen offers that it does better than other games, which is pretty ironic for the BDSSE.

Sanya Juutilainen posted:I beg to differ. Also if you purely PvE, you don't need engineering, like at all. If you PvP, you're gonna grind anyway. like i said minor improvements and setbacks in other aspects with overall direction being backwards. and to counter combat in pve is also made more unfun. Have you tried taking out npc corvette in imperial eagle? It used to be easy but now it takes over 40 minutes to do because of dumb engineered poo poo they have added, its not harder its boring. and there used to be no grind to do for PVP. You could fly an imperial eagle and still be annoying to deal with in pvp.

It used to be easy but now it takes over 40 minutes to do because of dumb engineered poo poo they have added, its not harder its boring." But why would you do that? As a proof of concept, one time, maybe? Like, you can dig a hole in concrete with a spoon, but it'll take weeks, why not use a drill hammer? I think it should be tough to defeat Corvette in Eagle. Possible, definitely (and it is possible, because of its agility). But should it take quite some time? Yes, definitely! From both shield and HP point of view. (For further record, I believe SW IV end scene is a load of bullshit.) I'll end this part with a question: Why do you think it should be easy to solo kill Corvette (167.8m x 87.2m x 28.3m ship) in an Eagle (31.2m x 29.7m x 7.1m , 60 times smaller vessel with smaller shields and weaponry)? And how easy should it be if it shouldn't take 40 minutes, should it take 30, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1 minute, 30 or 10 seconds? "and there used to be no grind to do for PVP" There used to be A-ranking grind (and rebuy grind), because the credits were much harder to get than these days, which is also why PvPers were swarming every "gold rush" back then. Also a side note, I find it funny that any time there is new stuff of any kind introduced in Elite, somebody will say: "That's a grind, I don't want to do it" while at the same time complaining there's not enough content. Asteroid cracking? "I prefer laser mining, this is not content". Exploring systems? "I prefer honking, this is is too slow". Engineers? "I just want to pew pew and not do anything else in the game, like collect mats". All legit excuses to not play the game in other ways than "how I want to" I've seen written on forums, reddit and SA thread. Which really come back to Star Citizen (to stay on topic) - how are they even going to please everyone, when it's clear they sold anything to anyone before implementing it? I have no clue.

Capri Sun Tzu posted:I know that this is a thread for hatin' and there's plenty of mismanagement to point out, but I was impressed and I'm starting to think a good game could emerge from this one day. The thing with Star Citizen is just as some think CI has some semblance of what they want to achieve over the next 12-24 months in terms of gameplay/planets/ships, they scrap 98% of it during the year and completely change the direction of where they were heading. This years con was a great example, instead of just sticking to more of what was revealed last year, they just showed a battlefield knockoff because rexzilla roleplaying was what was bringing them any viewers of the game on twitch. The end of the day is, how the can you trust that what was shown at the con will make it into the game as it was shown at the con?

Some SC "fan" pointed out on sc_refunds how SC has more twitch views than Elite. Which brought me to this lovely graph: Now... is that Calders money at work, starting roughly after the last year's CitCon? The jump is really noticeable (E:D is basically the same throughout with spikes at updates, SC is the same until ~December 2018), while there's basically nothing in the updates that would justify it (if anything, I'd expect it a year earlier with 3.0, but that one dissipated fast). Or am I missing something?

It could also be the promise that this would be close to the end, so interest picked up. To be fair, performance for SC has improved, both due to CIG and since computers now have better specs to run it.
