Thread recap: Star Citizen's development is like cramming a square peg into a round hole, destroying both in the process. They've wasted years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing systems that don't contribute a loving thing to the actual gameplay, they've LITERALLY deliberately designed the game to not be fun, and the game's foundation is so fundamentally broken that every single addition they make to the game is more broken than the last. Hope this helps.

SQ42 - Ep1! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yY-Xamg03I Haven't got to the end yet. Not sure if there's lust on their minds. e: holy christ, just so many amazing things. The giant square particle effects for the grenade attack, the 'WE ARE SPECIAL OPS' followed by struggles to get up a ramp. Just this pervasive sheen of high fidelity jank. Quite like the CCTV camera angle bits though. Pixelate fucked around with this message at 09:34 on May 18, 2020 |

Why was theatres of war not made public or even hinted at before being drop to the public? whats it's current status? how long till it's released? why is it nothing more than a battlefield clone, looking terrible in every way. Those companies also release new games as well and a remaster in less time than Star Citizen has taken to introduce...well anything CIG have done exactly nothing, they have less gameplay than a shovelware game and just put what are now dated graphics to trick idiots into paying new computer prices for dlc hidden as ships.

 Theatres of War has all the same server issues as the PUSorry to bear bad news. ToW leaks and play tests show that in a small controlled environment the servers are still the same bad condition as the PU. Desync, rubber-banding and extremely low FPS due to server tick rate. I feel this confirms what some have been saying here for ages - that server meshing is not going to fix these problems. These are underlying server issues that are unrelated to the size of the PU. This is important because other games in similarly controlled environments either do not have these issues or to a much lesser degree. So we now have a comparison and Star Citizen gets low marks. On the bright side, I hope that CIG can either use this as motivation to fix the servers in order to get ToW out the door, or in the least shed some light on the origin of the problems to get those fixes in the pipeline. The PU could reap rewards if ToW gets in playable state. But it doesn't appear to be even close at this time.  Holy poo poo guys. Sean Tracey made it perfectly clear that ToW would have all the same issues. Because that's a big part of the reason they're making it the way they are. They'll be able to figure out these issues FASTER using this game mode than the PU because of the work involved to create these high action scenarios. Being shocked about this is just an admission you missed the memo about why ToW was being built in the first place. I'm pretty sure the Server to Client Actor Networking Rework is what's supposed to be fixing the desync and hitreg issues, not server meshing. Sean Tracy did say it was very important for ToW. I thought it was said during one of the shows that the physics changes that came along with 3.8 introduced the desync? Yea, I'm sure it will be a game changer just like SSOCS was... SSOCS was a game changer. They had to delete like 9 space stations from the game to fit caves into the game in 3.7. In 3.8 with SSOCS those were added back alongside Microtech. 3.9 adds three moons, a landing zone, and like 20 outposts without needing anything to be deleted. That was a big step forward, just not the Holy Grail that you are looking for. It solved a specific problem so completely that you even forgot what SSOCS was intended to address. With the Netcode rework, we know exactly what the current problem is, and what CIG is doing to address it. It's just down them to coding the implementation. I thought this was common knowledge. Most people point to the Server to Client network rework as the potential fix to desync and rubber banding. Server tick rate I believe is an issue that SOCS should deal with, and they're still working on that one.

Scruffpuff posted:The secret to CIG's success is so simple, and so obvious, that it's amazing some other game company didn't do it first. You SAY you're going to do something, make sure everything you say is 100x harder and also better than anyone else has ever done, then you just fail to do it. If the failure is pointed out, defend it by mentioning how ambitious it is, and that nobody else even has the balls to try. Make sure you paint "trying" as a virtue, and deflect the obvious defense that ambition is only considered ambition if you're qualified, by mentioning a game you were in the vicinity of when it was made by other uncredited people decades ago. Not really game companies but Theranos, Enron, Lehman Brothers, to name but a few who did exactly that. Among other things.

It's nice to know that after 10 years they are still trying to get the networking in an MMO game functional. Other lesser companies would have done it the easier way and had it working much earlier in the games development.

Why do they even waste time adding a mediocre battlefield game option to their space sim? What portion of their backers is even remotely interested in this?

ToW, a team arena deathmatch is what is needed to bridge the gap to.... checks notes Salvage, passenger missions, farming, cocktail mixing, exploration, base building, trading.... Ok, there is combat, but we already had Arena Commander and Star Marine that were meant to do that already. So basically they are saying AC and SM failed to do what was needed, but now ToW is going to do it?

The Battlefield community will flock to this. 64 players on each side is too many anyway. Dice must be making GBS threads themselves and wish they had not hosed up Battlefield 5 with women, prosthetic limbs and cricket bats.

Dooguk posted:Comparing building Star Citizen to building one of the ancient wonders of the world? I know, it's a bit unkind to the pyramids to compare them with a digital castle in the air full of nothing but dreams, despair and desyncs, but the pyramids don't really mind that much. They don't get much regular attention during COVID-19 season, anyway.

I just saw a streamer get into a dogfight in an asteroid belt. The most interesting thing is that the optimal strategy for winning a dogfight is to sit perfectly still and rotate on the spot as the enemy fighter slowly circles you. You can then easily whittle down their health until they explode. The AI doesn't seem to have any way to counter this.
