They had time to make a trailer publicising a broken incremental alpha patch, but they still need b-roll for a S42 update video.

They are really gaslighting the citizens harder than ever, between this and the promise to slowly roll out a roadmap to a roadmap.

as is tradition, i tried the new patch out
had several bugs as expected, the new big store in new babbage is boring and the only interesting thing it sells is mobiglas except those only change the color of the model on your wrist, the actual UI is not modified in any way, the missions are nerfed and the game crashed 10 (painful) minutes in

the new flight model in atmo is still bad but it's better

Watched the video and it's still not clear to me what's in 3.10 besides a new atmospheric flight model. I can't say I'm particularly excited to see what CIGs umpteenth flight model looks like.

The space dogfighting clips I'm sure will be recycled for the confused mom demographic when squadron 54 vertical slices compete with star wars squadrons this fall. It actually looked kind of fun but also sorta generic and bland.

The team play voice acting grab rear end always makes me cringe. I think Division 2 or Density 2 or one of those games did the same crap with their preview vids. At least they released a game tho.

The FPS combat looks insanely jank which boggles the mind as to why they bothered to include it in this video. I guess they can't even get all-hands-on-deck for releasing Mark Hamil's hitchy mocapped rear end info the world before sterr werrs comes out

there was a time when this was easily the most enjoyable spaceflight and fight experience on the market... half a decade and 200.000.000 Dollars ago. Makes you wonder what the hell happened in the meantime.

Oh right there were actual competent people working on it back then.

I’m the dust cloud that spawns inside of the cabin and then clips out the back. AAAA fidelity.

I’m sure that the super complex dust physics simulation that CIG definitely built just needs to be tweaked a little.

Imagine being a professional web developer for 20 years and defending a product that has been in development for half of your professional career without finishing and probably raising more money to develop than all of the webpages you've developed combined and having a staff working on it in the 100's of people.

Lol, where do they get this poo poo? The level of NPC AI in Oblivion would be a huge accomplishment for CIG at this point. That’s why they’ve been desperately trying to hire AI programmers for years now.

The bartender is a broken mess, and it’s the result of years of mocaping and development work. None of it is translatable or scalable to the rest of the game.

On 3.10 being released:


It's actually fine if they break the game because quarterly patches for an unfinished game is a terrible idea. But not the next patch. That is the Jesus patch. Patch 3.x+1 is when things finally start coming together because of SHOES and SHIRTS.

Dude is almost there. But instead of attacking the community with the "yeah no poo poo, we know it's totally broken!" he should be wondering why CIG, well aware the game is not in a good state, is marketing it like this huge, finished and polished get it a game where you can live the life of a space adventurer in a variety of careers and paths and explore the unknown and make amazing discoveries.

We all know the game is broken. That's fine.

What's not cool is CIG not reflecting this level of brokenness anywhere, and going to amazing lengths to prevent it from being discussed including shutting down any conversations that go against the glittering and polished gem of fun.

CIG gets in trouble because they sell it and market it like a complete game, acting blameless as to its actual condition.

This is exactly the poo poo I'm talking about.

Nowhere in here do they warn you the game is broken in its current state, or the myriad of bugs you will have, and the likelihood of you ever seeing or experiencing any remotely like that video is like 300M:1.

But they will go after the players who want that experience and expect to get it because it's what CIG is loving telling them to expect.

This brutal duality between reality of what CIG does vs the marketing they talk about what they do and the people who bash the people who want the promised experience is total bullshit. :shrug:

I wish the guys defending the hell out of CIG against "evil naysayers" would watch this poo poo CIG is putting out to people.

It's really not hard to realize people are pissed off and talking poo poo that CIG is a scam of a company because they put out a broken patch and they know it's broken and they also tie it to a video like this that indicates exactly zero of the problems or warnings about reality. It's all loving fake, and it could very well be interpreted as blatant misinformation.

Why? Because all CIG really wants is your loving money, honestly.

But yeah, defend CIG. Tell people they shouldn't complain or want to have an experience, and make sure this video is in each of your loving posts to back up how much CIG is aware of the state of their game and trying not to give people unrealistic expectations or anything.

It's just them being honest with their players and wanting to make the BDSSE, knowing they have a long way to go and people should have realistic expectations about the game currently.



Take this video and gently caress you for trying to tell other backers they shouldn't expect anything from CIG.

The biggest new thing in the update is PICO

quote:

Well hello there, friends.

It seems in Alpha 3.10, the bird is truly the word. Y'all have taken a liking to our fuzzy friend Pico. If you aren't sure what I'm talking about, swing by the shops at the New Babbage Spaceport and pick up your own plush companion to take adventuring.

We've seen Pico hitting the slopes, plotting to overthrow the galactic senate, and even breaking it down on the dancefloor, but we want to see what you and Pico are getting up to in the 'verse!

Snap a shot of the craziest situation you and Pico have gotten into, or the most interesting spot your penguin friend has ended up and drop it in the comments below for your chance to waddle your way into some sweet prizes! Entries will be judged on creativity, originality, and perceived level of penguin excitement and fun.

The top 5 shots will each receive a physical Plushie Pico of their own as well as a brand new in-game Greycat ROC (with LTI).

Be sure to check out the full ruleset before entering, and make sure you have your screenshot submitted by Saturday, August 15, 2020 at 11:59pm Pacific.

Even if your screenshot skills aren't up to snuff, you can still snag a Pico Plushie of your own from our Merch Store, while supplies last!

Good luck to you all, we can't wait to see what you come up with!
