TheAgent posted:thank you, I read her the hello dump in lieu of our wedding vows, it was a big mistake as the county clerk was a $250,000 backer and has now completely refunded I picture in my head when, in lieu of asking if anyone present objected, he just stuttered out the words "but fidelity" before Uncle Derek popped up from behind a bush somewhere and shouted "CALLED IT" before running off to accost a Coke machine. 10/10 would attend this imaginary wedding again. EDIT - Taxxe. This is Cricket, he is 16 years old, which means he sadly likely won't be able to cruise through the 'verse with us friends.

Nalin posted:I mean, Bethesda are the only devs even more stupid than CIG because they decided to make their space game on Gamebryo. It is to be expected that development is a mess. Totally Games (developers of the X-Wing / Tie Fighter games among others) made a space game in 2002, Star Trek: Bridge Commander, that used the NetImmerse engine (renamed into Gamebryo in 2003). Of course, it was likely not the same type of space game and they didn't have to build it on top of 18 years of Bethesda code hacks, so that probably helped. It's sad to see Gamebryo get a bad reputation just because Bethesda's modified version of it is such trash

LOL the "Fair Chance Act" Star Trek has the Prime Directive based off a quickly thrown together script for a cheesy weekly serial on TV. SC with all of their Lore, all of these creative geniuses comes up with "Fair Chance Act" I mean at least call it the Ossain Accords or whatever the hell those imaginary aliens are.

Aqua Seafoam Shame posted:Interesting. I've been reading up a lot on that late 80s/early 90s era and it's interesting how the Amiga went from contender to zero as PC clones came to rule the day. The concept of the Amiga originally was a console , hence the closed architecture. Techwise the Amiga was stuck in 1986, based on the 68000 Motorola CPU Platform (that was launched 1979) and still had the first software Raytracing Demo ever, where gaming journalists felt it was a hoax as that Juggler demo must have been rendered on mainframe tech. The Copper and Blitter coprocessors allowed graphics and sprites that could match the far more newer and modern next gen consoles Super Famicon/Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive. Shadow of the Beast from Psygnosis or Lionheart from Thalion were bar setting testaments how amazing the visual capabilities of the Commodore Amiga were. Turrican 2 on the Amiga or Apidya were on the level of Arcade devices back in the day, and you should look up what the Neo Geo had as a pricetag. Soundwise the Amiga was next level. We still got remixes from Amiga Music today, like Mitch Murders Lost Patrol or the Instant Remedy and Mind.in.a.Box stuff. There is a whole community : https://www.amigaremix.com Many professional video game musicians and gfx artists started their career with and on the Amiga. The Amiga lost it‘s ground around 1992 as the modular PC architecture was superior and VGA and 3D gfx outclassed the Amiga with it‘s outdated year 1986 limitations. When it comes to games, yeah, 90% of the library was mediocre, the Amiga was excellent for Jump n Run/Platform, Sport and Arcade Games. AI intensive Games, round based games like Battle Isle or in general Car and Flight Simulators we’re better suited for PCs. The Amiga 3000, 4000 and Amiga CD could not compete with the 3DO or the first PlayStation. The PC was killing Amigas as soon as they got their precious VGA cards and 286 processors with up to 66 MHz in 1993. Soccer games like Kick Off or Action Games were poo poo on PC 1991. The same games looked better on Amiga , the sound was better, the scrolling smoother. But when I first played Gunship 2000 on MS DOS in 1991, it was obvious, the Amiga days were counted. Gunship was converted to Amiga 500 in 1993, and the 7 MHz CPU got wrecked. 1992 Wolfenstein was not even ported for Amiga iirc because the 68000 was too slow. 1994 was the last year, Amiga 500, 600. 1200 and Amiga CD32 were somewhat “relevant” for game devs, but Amiga Computers has less than 10% market share in game sales 1992. It was over. The Amiga had a great 7 year run as a gaming system (most of the time unmatched in sound design, parallax scrolling and sprites ) that never could hide its console designed architecture Mr.PayDay fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Jun 19, 2020 |

Beet Wagon posted:Honestly not really sure why we're even having the argument. Star Citizen characters just objectively look like poo poo most of the time lol, there's not really any need to compare them to other games. Yeah this is quickly becoming a Merlin type argument from back in the day when we’d go around in the same circle about Star Citizen’s combat. “The character models look bad compared to modern games.” “Nah uhh, they look good.” “No seriously, here are screenshots from a console game that came out a couple of years ago.” “Well you can’t compare those to Star Citizens MAIN NPC’s!” “What these ones?” (Posts more bad looking screenshots) “Well it’s not the same genre of game!” And so on into infinity... It’s turtles all the way down. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Jun 19, 2020 |

It’s obvious why the SQ42 video is delayed. The media team made the mistake of recording the actual game and Crobear lost his poo poo when he saw it. They will now be pre rendering the whole thing as a trailer.

I originally backed Star Citizen in 2012 hoping that its success could spur developers revisiting the space sim games of my youth, didn’t think it would end up happening regardless of Star Citizen ever coming out.

After that gameplay trailer for the real Squadron game, yeah we can forget all about seeing any S42 video. If the video wasn't already canceled, it sure as poo poo is now. I wonder how long it will be before CIG even dares to breathe the word "squadron" again.
