I don't play GTAO so I have always wondered why do you need to spend money on a game that is (i think) about stealing poo poo from other people. Want a Veyron? steal that poo poo you criminal, what kind of half-assed crook are you with that wanting to buy the drat thing, like a goddamn normie.

Agony Aunt posted:like the orbital cannon... not that many people use it unless they are cheaters, because the drat thing costs a crapton of money to fire. Its effectively a godmode weapon where you sink in your facility and fire upon someone anywhere on the map killing them. This is absurd. SC will surely have one. (The operators will have backward pointy helmets. There will be green lasers.)

The Titanic posted:End of life dates are for losers who didn't invent programming back in the 90's. A complete rewrite would be great. Your moral is shattered as everything you struggled with for years is gone. You don't care any more. You still need to submit x lines of code a day (the obvious metric of CIG). Why not just copy paste some of the old code and call it a day. Thanks for reading my fanfic.

Dr. Honked posted:As a coder, you MUST know 3d maths well to work on many areas of a 3d game. There is a shitload of stuff that requires it, not just performance-critical graphics code. You can maybe get along for a while using the various helpful linear algebra functions that your engine has, but in the end, you're going to need to know this stuff. I won't hire juniors who don't know basic linear algebra. Or matrix transforms. Luckily commercial programming is more about strings and remembering how to count.

Sarsapariller posted:Man this is why I don't play anything with any kind of public matchmaking game anymore. gently caress allllllll of that. I didn't pay 60 bucks to provide a nice target for people cheating, or lose access to the game because I'm adjacent to people cheating. And I'll stay way the hell away from any game that decides I have to wade into the brown sea to progress because having it my own way isn't "Authentic" enough or whatever. gently caress it forever. Yeah, i hear you. Unless a dev is really good at catching cheaters, they can really ruin any sort of public play, whether it be a PvP or PvE game or a hybrid. Its one reason I push back whenever someone suggests FD should remove PG/solo from ED. The other main reason being there are lots of people out there who flock to online games with the sole intent of screwing the game up for others in one way or another. GTA allows me the same, to play solo or just with friends (even though the devs didn't intent that, but hey, screw them). And here we have Star Citizen, a game with a single mode only, with (in theory) thousands of players on the same server. Yeah, that's going to be a fun world to play in. From what we've seen as well, CIG haven't even started to address the issue of cheaters.... well, it is alpha!

On the topic of 3.9, on the main subreddit, a new poster(won't say who cause doxxing isn't cool) has mysteriously appeared, has an account that's only 11 days old, yet has consistently been posting mostly concern threads, and appears to be trying to push for the community to get mad about skins possibly costing money in the future, despite the community consensus generally been skins can be an effective monetization post ship-sales. Reminds me of when wahhhlord had his alt-account, tho if this account is trying to stir up poo poo they're a lot more coy about it.

I know he popped up on some sort of talk show not long ago, but he seems to have lost his vigour for criticising the project. I mean, when was the last time he wrote a July blog?

I can understand why a new poster on that subreddit of morons would be suspicious, no one in their right mind starts playing this non-game in 2020 and tries to discuss improvements instead of getting a refund and bailing after the first 10 minutes

In today's game-as-a-service design, just playing the game may violate the sacred entitlement of others. Did you figure out a way to get <thing> that was easier than the way other people got <thing>? Did you join a co-op game with other people who did the same? You're banned! Your $60 single player game, that can be optionally co-op, is no longer available to you. The very notion that you got a thing is so destructive to the experience of others that you must be cleansed. The masses will cheer your removal. At least in SC your value to the community is measured by your pledge amount.

orcane posted:"Super early alpha" 90 months after the crowdfunding sure is a take. Normal development for normal AAA games is easily 40 years. After only nearly 10 you really shouldn't expect more than 1/4 of a complete game. Sooooo early. Way too early to even really tell what it is at this point. Is it a space ship game? Is it an FPS game? Is it Mario Bros? We really don't know yet and honestly all these people "assuming" what it will be is just upsetting the natural flow on such a young, barely out of concept, video game for children. You guys just better cool your over eager heels and learn how video game making works today and sit down and shut up with your wrong opinions.

That's the ugly side of Alpha. SC is amazingly well polished for an Alpha, but it is still an Alpha, and that does mean that from time to time nasty bugs will get into the 'live' release.

I can see why they want to ensure CIG keeps getting money for literally breathing, and that even basic gameplay solid be behind a paywall. I honestly think it's time for CIG to up the ante here though. Want to move forward? You need to post a fee for that literal privilege you entitled scum. Want to jump, crouch, or move side to side? Want to run???? Running costs extra because it can be used to destabilize immersion. It should probably cost at least $100 so you know the person running will run responsibly and not be done immersion breaking space poor. This extra fees will also help us get to higher money faster, so we can celebrate the victory of a multi national company with more shady shell companies than you can throw a stick at continue to get more shady money. When I can eat a hotdog in glory and a sandwich, I know that $300MM went to a good cause. Every dollar CIG gets is like $5 since there is no publisher. This is unheard of and there is no way this project can fail. In fact, it has already succeeded more than any AAA game I know of and has more gameplay than seven games combined. But if you bitch about it, it's just an early alpha. Leave my poor innocent baby alone! *hugs CR to her busom to protect him from the evils of all you people!* Leave my delicate game wanderkind genius alone so he can make the game we all want but none of us deserve! Only he can do it with the power of the 90's! It's like a movie!

If this guy took this one step further he might come to the correct conclusion that CIG are focusing the majority of their efforts on the wrong thing, and have this level of graphics when you can't nail down basic functionality is actually a bad thing and not a good thing. But it's ok. Dream on, space friend.
