colonelwest posted:It’s weird with this one though. CIG has lied and made insane or contradictory promises for years now, but they’ve always been consistent on wanting to make their game punishingly boring and tedious. Like Chris has talked about everything from perma-death (death of a spaceman) to showers and penalties for bad personal hygiene. This has been the paradox of the game for a long time. Lots of pieces of the game, and the "design" both as it became real and during their many videos on the topics, did not sound fun or engaging. When anybody would think critically about the game as a "finished product" it was hugely not fun sounding. Naturally nobody could accept this, because CIG also has so much media out in the Wild you can found any quote and a dozen counter quotes as well. Anything from PVP sliders to healing to not healing to realistic fights worse than COD to having hereditary future pawns to becoming more robotic... even dynamic ship repairs with various qualities of metals you could collect yourself and refine in your giant factory networks. It's all quite crazy but so very very tedious at every aspect. The fun is in the dreams. Everybody has a different dream. Every dream is 100% real and valid.

Also be sure to hunt your procedural bird and animal wildlife to sell to the passing space traders. I too look forward to reenacting Recettear except in space and with the threat of players with lust on their minds showing me the inevitable consequences of piracy while also hoping they do it fast enough I can eat some procedural eggs before I suddenly die.

the survival mechanics in particular are funny because they were talked about a lot and lots of citizens were seemingly excited for them, but now it seems like somehow there were people blindsided by there being survival mechanics planned

Because there's a huge difference between "my Dream game" and "it's just a video game." When CIG talk about survival it's like enjoying a meal with your crew discussing your next mission while guys play pool in the background and the captain is talking to the flight crew. The actual reality is you have to fight to find a "Nutribar" and double click on it so your food bar goes upwards and you don't suffer or die. Dream Vs game has been the line CIG dances around with fantastic grace, enough to get people to invest thousands of dollars into a video game for kids. And even the game he's primarily working on isn't even the one you are spending thousands of dollars for. It's a scripted wing commander clone with 3D cutscenes featuring some movie stars. It's like a cake but every layer is a disappointment or a lie.

I'm sure that guy posting about how anything will be fun with good enough animations is picturing something like the monster hunter cooking cutscenes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqAfXQCItMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XesCTqVdDjM except nothing in star citizen will have a fraction of the polish, vision and sense of fun as any of these. instead you'll repeatedly awkwardly first person munch on a space burger to stop your bar from going down LazyMaybe fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Mar 12, 2020 |

Popete posted:The key to arguing in favour of Star Citizen is that simultaneously everything has been known for years and you're an idiot for not knowing this was gonna be part of the game and also it's not in the game yet so you can't say it's a bad thing. My favorite is the guys who mock the people who says it’s never coming out while also mocking the people that say “once they build the tools, development will speed way up!” You can’t be smug both ways. If development doesn’t speed up by a huge amount the game is never coming out, it’s certainly never coming out at its current pace. But redditors have to show how above it all and smarter they are than the others.

No Klingon would ever die like that

Yeah I think you’re right, citizens had in their minds this amazing immersive experience, but the reality is just babysitting meters. But hey the hopeful citizens are claiming that it won’t be boring because SC will will high fidelity food and eating animations! So you can watch 5 minutes of the same animation of a candy bar moving towards and away from your spaceman’s mouth as new high-poly bite marks appear!

I like that you just positively identified Chris Roberts' sockpuppet account and didn't even make a big deal about it.

Please think about the poor developers, they have to pad this turd out with something. Mandatory 30 minute travel times per hour weren't enough! There's still another half hour to go in which the player expects for things to occur in the game that he paid thousands of dollars for! Making his number go down unless he flies to a station, docks at the station, rides the elevator, walks to the foodcourt, orders a single burger, sits and eats it, and then does it all over again in reverse to get back to his ship- now that's some excellent filler. 15 more minutes easy.

I'm all for these kinds of survival elements as long as they're not implemented in such a way that they're a chore. Especially with all of the food courts in SC even in alpha, even a light incentive to visit them and potentially meet people there or hang out with friends is totally fine in my book.

Our system is designed, from the ground up, to exacerbate a pandemic, not contain it. When are pandemic simulations coming to Star Citizen? We're rounding out a decade and I haven't heard poo poo about rare Andromeda Strain space diseases that can move among NPC and player populations, adding risk to "seedy" city/spaceport areas, prostitute and inevitable consequence of piracy gameplay, and giving a purpose to medical and science bays. Christ, CIG, how could you have possibly missed this one?

Really looking forward to the next revolutionary mechanic from CIG where you will need to constantly drop what you're doing and answer texts from your digital grandmother who is very worried about all this space pirating and needs to be reassured. If you don't keep her confidence meter high she will call the space police for your protection and you'll end up going to space prison where they'll throw you in the cooler for an hour or two before dealing with the paperwork for your release.

eh, it's a lovely mechanic that will create more problems for them to solve in an MMO context. I mean I can already think of a few ways to workaround or make the system friendlier to those who don't want to be arsed to feed their commando or regulate his/her poop schedule. Forum intern, you know where to find me.
