Only bitcoin crazy I remember was Serpah, and I think he went over the multiple permaban edge a handful of years ago.  Party like it's 2014, apparently. Remember that time I was really excited and hawking Star Citizen on this thread, and totally unprepared for Imp Zone coming in and screaming some sense into us? Good times.

 You think its p2w when the majority says its not? okk, but your own problem tho as seems that the rest are pretty happy with the modelyou dont like the game as it is? Ok, but its still in development anyway so it will iterate many times or just get fixed For the rest, if you dont like it dont play it, players couldnt care less about this kind of opinions and if its about backing the game i can put another 45$ bucks to make up for 1 less player, if you dont like the game youre not forced to play it at least noone forced me to. We can discuss mechanics, concepts and even ship pricing if you like to,but after that many years the p2w argument already gets old and pretty boring.. Edit: let the poor peasants downvote instead of looking for a JOB and earn money to expend on their hobbys, i cant laugh harder rlly and as we say in our country "you could have studied".

Nalin posted:I'm not going to be scared off. If anything I'll just get bored of the game and stop playing it for another year or two. That actually might happen in 3.9 because they are talking about making ships suffer "consequences" for flying fast. Slowing down combat speeds sounds nice, but in a game with lots of waiting, I don't want to wait even more to fly somewhere. I mean if you enjoy it, that's cool. It looks like a nightmare from all the gifs in the thread but I have games in my top 5 of all time that most people hate so  The real interesting question, as put forward originally, is do you think SC will be a thing? Like after reading/seeing everything so far do you still believe it will be the game promised eventually? DOMDOM posted:I played ED briefly, like enough to manually land the ship and fly around some points, but I only battled once or twice and can't remember poo poo You honestly played about 95% of the game as is. It splits the difference nicely between realism and being game-ey by rewarding traditional flight simulator skills and flying with assist off. It flies beautifully, unlike SC's noclip implementation, and you really feel the difference between ships. It has amazing sound design. This all being said there's no game attached to this. Combat is against AI that flies perfectly without flight assist, has insane upgrades, and will endlessly spawn in billion-dollar ships to hound you for that single $10 crate in your hold. Making money is considered heresy and is largely based around watching forums for a gold rush tactic to abuse before it gets nerfed. The gameplay is imagining something and then pretending your headcanon is the game.

There was talk of Escape from Tarkov, or as I like to call it "Walking on cornflakes and potato chips while micromanaging your gear slots simulator". Not my cup of tea, but does seem to have moments of brilliance and decent general design. I've been playing a little 'Scum' lately, well, when I can drag myself away from RDR2 that is. I hear there's this space movie that's far better than anything else and is so advanced in every way that the bugs and glitches are just the movies way of loving with you, because it's fidelity, and it has no p2w whatsoever but is built around a cash shop and the more expensive boats are so un-p2w that only the more expensive ones punch above their weight and everything else just says it does. I have no idea what anything is anymore. Send coffee or vodka, not fussed. Edit; gently caress spelling yo Sabreseven fucked around with this message at 12:38 on Jan 30, 2020 |

Mailer posted:(...) The combat you describe is only when talking top enemy AI (Dangerous / Elite), otherwise not really. Heck, Harmless ships often can't even circle you when in slower ships and you can just shoot them as sitting ducks until killed. Mid-range difficulties often use hit-and-run tactics as well. Also the money issues were mostly fixed with the redesigned mining which is already like a year old. It has been hit a bit recently by rebalancing, but you can still make hundreds of millions an hour easily right now - I regularly see this advised to new players, where it's said within a day they can be sitting in Anaconda / Krait. The end line is true, though, Elite isn't about "what am I supposed to do". You're supposed to know what you enjoy and do that just for fun mostly.

I think there's also a strange "ground floor" anticipation with Star Citizen. World of Warcraft's walking into Stormwind for the first time. Star Wars Galaxies's first lightsaber crafted. Eve Online's first great null-sec war. Day-Z's first raid on the army barracks. Minecraft's first night survival. Subnautica's first base. And many more experiences from the past. All these moments have been shared, and not just individually, but also virally via YouTube and game rags and blogs. All those moments were burned into an audience's landscape of gaming memories. And that landscape always had an incoming horizon that did not stand still. The past was forgotten. The new experiences were here. The landscape had little brainspace for nostalgia. And now, here's a product of nostalgia, brought to life by the cash of the forgotten. They have a chance to be on the ground floor of a great new experience. But since everyone else is going to be on that "ground floor", it would behoove themselves to skip that floor and shoot up to the top, with assets, ships, and maybe a friend and ally or two. No waiting to build a brand, the brand is invented and prepared to ship. It may be organic in it's desire, but it's completely artificial in it's practice.

I want to take a hatchet to ED, take their flying system and attached sound design, and sew it onto X4. It would need some adjustments for turrets, but that's all I need. The rest of ED is forgettable.

Got reminded of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPiDjDQHB6c And yes, Star Citizen doesn't seem to have such experience yet - or at least not reliably and without conditions. Many people say that they are pleased with being able to walk out from a ship, but it doesn't seem to be on par with what is described, because the "there should be more" aspect was there first, unlike for the others.

That depth can exist thanks to the overwhelmingly limiting factor of being a single player game. Try to implement something like that in an online multiplayer game with a modicum of competition and behold how the Pandora’s box of exploiting and cheating runs the whole house down. So far only EVE can claim a similar feat.
