sebmojo posted:there have been a bunch of people making genuine good faith efforts to engage with the fun and interesting gameplay of star citizen which is similar to making a genuine attempt to eat a cloud Tried it, it was hugely unintuitive. Its PlayStation home with 4K textures. They successfully made a game where the only fun thing to do is dream about it, buy ships, and walk around nice looking levels that ultimately don't have any gameplay value. They're far too large, you feel alone except for random npcs doing something or glitching or starting at a word on a wall. I think the best way to describe the gameplay is "a slog" when it's working, "unintuitive and confusing" when you're trying to do something other than walking around, and ultimately "badly designed" because it doesn't feel like it's any fun. The first section is pretty cool, in your overly detailed wank pod. You can open any drawers and toilets, but can't seem to interact with anything. Whatever your avatar is standing near though is what will activate, not the thing under your mouse cursor. The level of interactivity drops to near zero once you get out. Somethings you can sit on, but mostly after you leave that area the only interactive items is video screens to buy stuff or get your ships somehow. The NPCs aren't interactive, or it's random. A greeter could be interacted with but nothing was subtitled so I'm not sure what was happening but she was probably talking. The store owners couldn't be except for one guy at a delivery station I think. You can but a bottle of drink and cat it around, but you had to eat your food right away because you couldn't walk with it apparently. The flight model is on par with moving a model in a 3D program effectively. The part you figured would be the most mature, the space aspect of Star Citizen, feels rushed and hastily tacked in. Like it's more or less a cutscene between the places you can walk around in. All the time and energy on this game is very clearly going into the levels. Ships can be considered levels, too, but the actual operation of them would be better if it was one of those automatic trains rather than trying to interact with it. The DCS-like they are doing will be terrible, because there are far more buttons on the screen than they can even think of what to do. Most of them don't work or make sense. Randomly clicking around will soon have your girl ejecting into the atmosphere. I guess if you likes PlayStation home, and didn't mind the "game" being a place to buy stuff and pretend to interact with a few people at a time possibly, then you might find this game fun. But you'll need to stay on the ground and not go into space, because the ground side is where all the money and effort is going. The Titanic fucked around with this message at 20:08 on May 24, 2020 |

Zazz Razzamatazz posted:So does the chat display "& quot ;" because their chat can't display " ? Gotta sanitize that data before it gets into the database and results in smeg! Using sql with encoded variables in your code for their inserts is far harder to figure than just concatenating these lines into a statement. Of course one of these methods is a good paradigm to prevent sql injection in parts of your code, and the other is a bad habit that results in weird results as displayed.

So, I was in the middle of posting a super-good and insightful post in reddit when I clicked on my profile to open a new tab to see if anybody had replied to a previous comment. Then, when I finished my post (which took like 20 secs) I opened a new tab 'cuz I forgot I had done it before. Anyway, I checked the first tab and the first page of my comments had like 1 or 2 upvotes each (by default they have 1). Then I checked the tab that was opened 20 seconds later and they had all switched to -5 to -7.

: I've been harassed a few times as well, one got to the point where the Reddit admins got involved. I've been PMed by someone telling me to kill myself. I've been vilified as all kinds of pejoratives like white knight, cultist, sycophant, boomer, shill, etc. all because I disagreed with someone.
: Man...that's the poo poo that is the real problem here too. I am in the same boat. I have been harassed and brigaded endlessly. Villified in the same way as you all because I enjoy a game and refuse to criticise CIG over things they don't deserve criticism for. Hell...I have evidence of some users following me into other subs and harrassing me. One of them decided it was wise to mock me in a PM regarding my experience of [redacted].

so i know that star citizen has been vaporware bullshit, and even if roberts' intentions are 100% genuine he has no ability to deliver from where they're at now... but i always thought the "they're selling jpegs of ships" was because you could buy ships that couldn't really do anything, but it appears... you can buy ships that literally don't exist anywhere outside of jpeg form and probably won't for years???? i have to ask if i'm misunderstanding something i saw or if it's actually that loving stupid.

Getting a list of flyable ships was surprisingly hard, so this list might be slightly out of date in places. Also the prices change from time to time (mostly going up). List of ships CIG has sold but are only in concept stage (not in game yet).
(I've probably even missed a few) Most of these ships exist as nothing more than a JPEG of concept art. Even the professions that would go with these ships aren't in the game yet. In this list is the Pioneer ($850) a construction ship (construction not in game) that will build personal bases (personal bases not in game) on player's "land claim" territory (land claim is not in game). This is all good and normal for video games. I regularly buy vaporware DLC that costs more than my rent...

Not every expert on r/starcitizen is a game developer. One guy is an expert on Amazon's AWS and tries to explain to the great unwashed what he thinks happened to cause "The Event" Didn't take long for some Citizens to put their heads together, build a shed, and start pointing the finger in Amazon's direction. Others point at CIG. https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/gpvdqf/cigs_server_woes_probably_a_tale_of_aws_account/
