Tippis posted:They do this all over the place, like with the “camera stabilisation” they had to add to get rid of head-bobbing: implement a pointlessly complicated animation and camera control system that makes the viewport bob around like a drunken pigeon on a pogo stick, and then implement a pointlessly complicated counter-acting system that pre-calculates that bob and moves the camera around to cancel it out. As opposed to, you know, not tying the camera to the animation to begin with and just not have any view bobbing to deal with. I remember seeing a video about their innovative handling of head bobbing which left me puzzled. At the time, I was a backer and didn't think further of it; I was already getting annoyed by their output frequency of ship videos and little else.

trucutru posted:They are like 80% done guys! I love how whoever made this chart tried to make look like there's not that much left to do- "Salvage & repair" is one box when it should be 2- "Pyro Solar System" is only one box... an entire system is just one box... "Alien Races" all (5?) of them are just one box, and my favorite "Sq42 episode 1" is just one box... the entire single player game... Then they made it look like they've made more progress that they really have by putting stuff in the green "released" boxes when they're "tier-0" at best- "Planetary Weather"- are they really done with that? "Caves" "Eat and Drink" "Prison Gameplay" yeah, those are all good to go... "Refueling"? Does the Starfarer actually do something now? Or does he mean you hit a button and your fuel tanks go to 100%? "FOIP" oh yeah, that works great... And then there's the stuff that has no buisiness being in the list in the first place- "Spectrum" Who cares that they have forums? What other games company touts "we have a forum" as some kind of feature?!? Same with "Delta Patcher" The more I look at this the more pissed off I get... "Arena Commander" "Star Marine" and "ToW" have their own "corner of poo poo no one asked for", that's nice. Oh- "Motion Capture" yeah Chris surely finished all that...

Chris Roberts loves head bobbing. Like when he turns to Erin, Ben and Disco and says the most ridiculous idea for a gameplay mechanic and the three of them just look back at him and nod their heads in agreement. Then Disco says "and that's the Chris I love"

Dreadwroth2 posted:Head bobbing has always been stupid, like my head doesn't flop around when I walk. It kind of does, but unlike the people who make and/or back Star Citizen, you also have this pattern-recognising signal processing organ hooked up straight to your eyes (or rather, the other way around) that has spent all of existence on filtering out that movement to the point where you have to make a deliberate effort to notice it.

I have never put over 100 hours in to a single game, nevermind spending 100 hours just to earn enough space bucks to buy a single ingame vehicle. It's like those people who post about how much Elite sucks and has no content and turns out they've played it for like 300 hours. Capital-G Gamers are broken.

trucutru posted:This seems pretty reasonable  This complete disregard for the players time is a thing to behold. Because, let's just assume for a moment the PU isn't a buggy, barely functional mess and everything works as intended (e.g. I don't loose my uEC when the game feels like it): This must be the most tedious, time-consuming "game" ever invented by another human being. Which begs the question why space dads like it so much. Having a little human and a 9 to 17 job myself, I began to value my free time quite a lot. Spending 2 hours a day for games is lot for me these days, but factoring in the weekend it is possible. This means, according to that list I need only one month mind-numbingly grind to get a Carrack. And this is under perfect circumstances, so 2 months may be more realistic. To each his own I guess, but I'll pass. Star Citizen probably just isn't for me (... anymore, it read different 5 years ago when I've backed).

trucutru posted:They are like 80% done guys! I don't get this picture. Why do they mix up low-level-stuff like "render to texture" (which is bog standard, you can read some OpenGL tutorial on the matter and understand how it works in a single day) with high-level stuff like "Pyro Solar System"? This picture is just a list of random poo poo, going from "why is this even on here?" to "pyro solar system" which will be a never-ending story in and of itself. Backers buy it, though. They understand game development. As a side note: It is hilarious that these fucks even list things like "serialized variables" or "render to texture" and pretend that's some kind of great achievement. "Dynamic Audio Engine", like iMuse Tie Fighter had 25 years ago? Why not get poo poo like this just done, ship it in a patch, mention it in the patch notes and be done? This has the added bonus that it would be a pleasant surprise for poor backers for once. "Just noticed the music changed to 'Marche Funèbre' as I fell through the floor, that's a nice touch, well done CIG!".

I have about 13,000 hours in World of Warcraft since 2005 (that’s what these people think they’re getting, but with fidelitous graphics and spaceships). I’m currently playing Division 2 (slightly over 400 hours). I also spent about 300 hours playing The Witcher franchise, and probably 500 hours on the Fallout games. GTA series has probably given me 1000 hours since it started. I do also play games that have endings, but if you have one that hits the spot that doesn’t have a traditional ending per se, you can rack up weeks of play with no effort.

'GPU Particles' has been developed and released. CIG proves itself once again to be a leading company in games development. Oh, and 'Performance Telemetry', can't forget that. Super important and worthy of inclusion on a chart such as this.

GTA series has probably given me 1000 hours since it started. drat - those are some numbers. 300 hours is roughly my ultimate burnout time. For me go over 100 is rare. I think it's around 140 for AC:Origins, 180 for AC:Odyssey (the game that felt like it would never end), the only ones I topped 300 hours on would be the L4D titles with friends. I have no idea what my /played time in WoW is but it's far less than it would have been had BFA not missed the mark with me; even Classic couldn't mend those wounds. The point for gaming for me isn't so much to lose myself in another world (spend enough time in a single game and you start to "see the seams" for lack of a better term; meaning you stop getting immersed and you can start to feel the code - best example is how in Division 2 the enemy evasion/cover tactics are linked to your reload and aiming) but to try all kinds of different things. The best part of a game for me is a brand new one I've never played and I'm trying to figure out how to play, what the systems are, and what all the HUD elements are. Those are the only times I engage my brain enough to forget about real life for a while. Once you approach mastery level you can play absentmindedly and I usually dip at that point. Cyberpunk is where all my thought is bent at the moment.

hottubrhymemachine posted:I have never put over 100 hours in to a single game, nevermind spending 100 hours just to earn enough space bucks to buy a single ingame vehicle. Same here, 100 hours is a lot for me. I have some Paradox games where I amassed ~200 hours over the last few years, but that's it. It probably has to do with the fact that somewhere deep inside, I think gaming is a huge waste of time. If I look at my hours I can't help but think that I could have used that time in a much better way: Learning an instrument (like, thousands of hours are for sure enough to get at least decent), do some programming project, ..., it doesn't matter. In essence, learning about any topic your heart desires, do sports if that's your thing, anything that improves yourself and give you a good feeling afterwards. Having wasted thousands of hours to get some virtual space ship just feels "wrong", also I don't see that as an accomplishment. Adjust the control scheme, train it a bit and a chimpanzee could achieve it with enough time, since there is no intellectual challenge... no accomplishment in that.

Scruffpuff posted:Cyberpunk is where all my thought is bent at the moment. I've also said to myself "THIS time I will immerse myself in a game again", after having failed on that in the last few years. In fact, Witcher 3 was the last one I really got immersed in (~80 hours), so chances are good. What you said about "feeling the programming" is quite on point. After a certain amount of time you just "feel" how the game works and where it's limitations are. It's the same time you realize "ok, I've seen all that's possible here, no more surprises to be expected" and this is the point where my motivation declines rapidly. It's just a matter of completing the game to get the conclusion by then and feels more like work. I think it's the same for a lot of people and also a reason why so many got suckered into Star Citizen. Chris' promised that you'll never feel the underlying programming since there were no shortcuts taken or "game-y" elements. All is geared towards maximum fidelity. A single crater on that moon is larger than Skyrim, the sandworm never did that before, the excitement and amazement will never end with SC since everything can happen because CIG breaks the boundaries. At least this is what Chris wants the backers to believe and a lot of them firmly do. It's just bullshit of course, but it caters to an audience that is burnt out on gaming in general.

They really don't like games, it's more like they want to, if only etc. etc. and of course it's all the poo poo Chris promised to do, and can't.
