The inside of that helmet gets blasted with the same corrosive effects it's made to protect her (?) from.I guess my eyes just gloss over things like that now - the submoronic "fidelity" chase was always about the easy approach to fidelity, like the number of polygons or a reflection, and never about actual fidelity or anything more complex than Chris pointing at a child's movie and saying "cool - I want - I make!"

Sarsapariller posted:* Did you want to store that bottle of water for later? I hope you bought a "Rucksack" brand chest piece! Oh you didn't know that you literally have to buy a single specific type of chest piece just to have a loving inventory system in this game? Well, you do. It's only sold at one terminal on Microtech. Get hosed. There are many chest pieces that have inventory, not just the Rucksack. When you look at the chest pieces in the store menus it should tell you how much inventory space it actually has. Most should let you store about 10 items worth. Sarsapariller posted:* Go into your equipment menu and take off your helmet. Pray to RNG Chris that you aren't standing in a pocket of vacuum in the middle of the crowded shopping mall. Your character will play an unskippable helmet-removal animation- you may cheer "HELMET! HELMET! HELMET!" if you so choose. While playing the animation, the character will immediately drop the water bottle and it will clip through the floor. This happens every time. Should have taken your helmet off first, fucko! Items dropping and falling through the floor never happened to me but I always took my helmet off in first-person view so I never see the animation. Maybe that could be why? I would also take the helmet off using the mostly undocumented "personal inner thought" system I managed to stumble across. Basically, hold F and click your RMB. You will open a radial menu and "Remove Helmet" should be one of the options. Sarsapariller posted:* Buy another water bottle. Stare at your own hand again like you have some kind of motion disability, and select "Drink." Wait 2-3 seconds for the server to register your command. You will play an unskippable, long animation of unscrewing the bottle top, taking a swig, and screwing the bottle top back on. This will gain you approximately 5% of your total thirst back. That's right! You will need to perform this animation twenty times to get your thirst meter back to full from zero. How many swigs are in a bottle? Possibly around seven. When a bottle is empty your character will perform an unskippable dropping animation and throw the corpse of the bottle through the floor, as is tradition. If you hold LMB you will drink until it is empty. I actually don't know why it doesn't just do that by default since I wasn't able to re-stow a half drunken bottle of water.

The best option if somebody conducts any sort of criminal activity against you appears to be to just sit still and let them kill you, because you can't really tell if they're a criminal or not when on foot due to there basically being no HUD related to players. Don't want to accidentally kill an innocent person! Nalin posted:There are many chest pieces that have inventory, not just the Rucksack.

None of this is laid out anywhere, none of it is intuitive. How would you ever know to hold down LMB while drinking? I'd be terrified that would cause me to like, assault a pedestrian or something. Good to know about the chest pieces but that is also not remotely explained anywhere. I only knew about the rucksack because I found it in a terminal at random. But you shouldn't have to buy anything to be able to store a drat water bottle! Inventory should be intrinsic to the character, and drinking should be as simple as right click item -> drink -> animation and it's done. It's just one half-thought-out system stacked on top of another, all throughout the game.

I ran all round the space port and didn't see anywhere I could buy anything. it feels like how nigerian scam emails are almost deliberately ridiculous because they don't want to hear from people who are put off by that, they're not the target market. coming into it fresh the game is so hostile to newcomers it feels like its directed at people who either don't care or want it that way.

It's just one half-thought-out system stacked on top of another, all throughout the game. If you LMB while holding an item, the default action is to drink. I did a few sips the first time then tried holding it down and it worked. The inventory thing is kinda weird since the inventory is specific to that suit. You can actually buy a whole bunch of different chest pieces, go mining, and then just swap to a different chest piece once it is full. You get magical amounts of storage that way. Also, I found out that the personal inner thought system lets you use items without having to hold F and look at it in your hand and gently caress around with the options that appear. You can access the "eat" and "drink" options directly within the menus for items.

It's just bad design. You have to eat and drink every so often to stay alive, and if only one of the chest pieces holds food- do they offer other chest pieces? They might as well only have that one as the others would get little to no use. Why would anyone use one that didn't hold food?

This is what happens. It would be like trying to add survival elements to Tetris. It's not the right kind of game, there are no meters to track, no inventory system, etc. so you just cram it in sideways. Do that 100 times for every game element you try to cram in and before you know it you have Star Citizen - the most visionless game ever not designed.

I feel like all this food holding in chest pieces is the equivalent of stuffing money or a credit card into your bra. Why does only a chest piece have storage? How about... I don't know, like a bag or a backpack or something? Or are we waiting for cig to invent backpacks in video games still?

I don't know, like a bag or a backpack or something? It's just the dumb way they do inventory management. Your actual inventory is tied to the chest armor you have equipped. Different chest armors can have lots of item slots, few item slots, or maybe even no item slots. They can also differ in how much ammo, grenades, and health packs they can carry. The store at least tells you how much inventory it can hold when you select it. You won't know how much ammo/health packs it can hold until you actually buy it (or I guess use the "Try it on" option?) And, as I said before, this has the weird side effect of letting you swap armor and changing your inventory on the fly. Filled up your mining chest piece? Swap it for something else with free inventory and keep on mining. All the ore in your previous chest piece is stored in the cloud now. I actually don't know if all your unequipped armor loses its inventory if you die. I haven't tested it but it would be funny to unequip a full backpack of ore, suicide back to a planet, and swap back to sell.

Im so sad we won't have more Spaceman James and his thrilling adventures in pitch black caves, those were some good times. I didn't get a picture, but for some reason the Avenger Stalker I tried to spawn showed up without guns and the rear ramp was spinning halfway inside the hanger. Good times.

Quavers posted:Post a trip report, TIA I did post some trip reports back when 3.6.0 launched that were pretty funny, but I've played enough since then to know how to control the game and how to avoid most of the bad bugs so any new trip report I could make is generally very bland and would only feature the same issues over and over again. The bugs I mainly deal with if I try to play are the F2 map being absolutely abominable (everybody who plays knows that), the ship 3D radar getting stuck, trouble making certain QT jumps (sometimes they get obstructed and the UI won't tell you or certain POIs don't show up unless you set a course in the broken F2 map menu), ship screens going blank, an occasional mission breaking, and missiles refusing to lock. Certainly annoying, but not game breaking.

Are we in some future where women's clothing has prevailed and nothing has pockets? This is a whole different argument haha. I have some pairs of pants that just look like they have pockets but it's all stitched together nothing and lies. At this point, bra-packing is looking like the full ear future for women's storage unless you have a big purse.

Beet Wagon posted:love spending 400,000 hours working on the texture of the frost that covers the space suits and then giving my entire character the skin of a hot dog Probably CIGs biggest art fallacy is they invest in 1M poly modes that make the game run terribly, but this is the result. Generic science fiction with no soul. These shots could be from Moon, or from some NASA/SpaceX sales pitch, or from any other movie/game that went the hard science fiction route that wants to look realistic in nature according to today's standards. Which is fine, but then on another set of screenshots this same person could be modeling some space suit out of Mass Effect and a Kitty helmet from Fortnight. The lack of consistency is distributing, and pictures like this just help to reinforce the lack of identity.

If you want to be zany, that's fine. I love zany stuff. But I don't know if I recall a place where zany and massively realistic blended together where it wasn't "a zany moment" with something funny happening in an otherwise serious concept. You either go Fortnight where yes, you can totally have Deadpool fighting against Darth Vader while an anthropomorphic banana and strong cat dance in the background. But this isn't the Chris way, this isn't the dystopian space future eerily similar to WW2 except in space where everybody is oppressed or a rebel or a straight laced military person with family issues. I'm sure somewhere there is a happy medium, but I don't know what it is.      If you see what the theme is, feel free to educate me. Oh and never forget it's also Skyrim:
