It's the combination of him never saying anything other than quoting stuff and his uncanny ability to pull random historical Star Citizen quotes out of nowhere.

There it is...

Lammasu posted:That's another thing about Star Citizen I don't get. Most game micro transactions are based on instant gratification, but with these ships even if the thing was on the up and up are YEARS off yet people keep poring money into it. It's actually really simple. We've all had impulse buy where we actually got our hands on what we bought and found out "Oh... this isn't really that great". Star Citizen has bypassed that risk by never actually solidifying the purchase. There's a old gif where when Crobberts is asked to write what SC is about on a white board and he scrawls out "dreams" on the board. And really that is the true form of Star Citizen, they're not selling JPG's of spaceships they're selling the dream of what you'll do with them. While most of the "haters" are looking at the actual state of the game, all the whales aren't seeing that. Like Narcissus staring into his pool they gaze into Star Citizen and see their dream game looking back. Every pledge they make is them buying more of their own dream. It doesn't matter that the real game is a buggy, un-fun broken mess, because they know that when Crobberts finally completes his game, it will be the game they've been dreaming of.

Yeah it's just the way it's presenting here that's odd, if it's the same thing. (Pink ball always in space, no matter where they are).

There's a parallel thread that reflects and feeds on this, which is whales with mutually exclusives desires about what they want the game to be, pledging against each other for the game type they want most. PVP fans pledging for pirate ships, PVE fans pledging for indestructible yachts. Better keep spending, or the other "side" will win!

This is still my favorite piece of poo poo out of the Star Citizen community. I even memorized the page it was last posted on (895) just so I could come back and look at it. It's just so loving maddening in how deranged it is as some sort of bizarre declaration of victory - but it's also CIG and Roberts' final victory - the scam is not... building up a pool of money and then running away with it. SC is unique in a sense because it's the next level of scamming - they're not selling you the idea of a game that they're clearly never going to make and then run off with the money. The scam they're selling is the fantasy of sitting at home and dreaming up the game you dumped thousands of dollars into hoping will come into existence one day, even though at this point it's blatantly obvious that'll never be the case. It's the fantasy of being a starship commander, of being an ace jetfighter, and yes, you're gonna do all those things once Roberts and his army of freshfaced straight out of gamer college morons can finally jerry-rig it together. You're not paying for the actual game, you're paying for the hours and hours spent dreaming of the perfect space game that you want to experience one day. Because knowing a wee bit about actual game development, at some point, which should have been like mid-2014 at the very latest, you have to start slashing features and mechanics and focus on what you can actually do given the money and deadlines. And when Roberts is forced out and this begins to happen, a lot of true believers are going to lose their loving minds that their fantasies are being shattered right before their very eyes. Or worse yet, they pull a Mafia 2, and sell those extra features and mechanics they had to cut as DLC.

I blame the doggo playing A bit of a sidetrack, but SC is whimpering away anyway - I actually started watching VTubers more closely during early-ish Kizuna Ai stages already, covered her in anime panel (because technically VTubers are anime played out live, with characters, development and often even goals) and knew of Hololive even before their Azur lane and WoWs collabs, which made them famous in the west. Still prefer Ars Almal and Hanayori dorms, though w trucutru posted:No, a good chunk of f2p games have zero actual gameplay (See: KanColle, a.k.a.

As long as there is something to buy that kinda promises that you'll be able to get ahead faster then there will people dumping thousands on it. If anything, you're describing AL or other F2Ps, not KanColle. KanColle is about resource management, sure, but there's lots of preparations needed for the events and in no way it's done automatically. I've seen people with good leveled ships and top tier equipment just totally gently caress up everything - formations, shelling order, equipping girls, really everything. And that's some feat, especially when wikis and community discords exist. Sanya Juutilainen fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Aug 10, 2020 |

Thuorn posted:More board seats CAN be added, but no paperwork has yet to be filed with the added seats. Sandi ISNT on the board as of the approval of this resolution. Have another look. She was appointed on 1 June 2019. The AP01 form was filed and is available on Companies House. You can also look at the accounts filed on 10 October 2019, which shows she was appointed on 1 June 2019. Until a TM01 form is filed (which has not been filed) Sandi is a director of the company. There is no paperwork to file if you take advantage of a clause in an articles of association, other than the paperwork that has been filed. That being the APO1 and the articles of association itself. They do make a lot of mistakes in their filings but as present, you have to rely on the paperwork filed and everything including the articles of association say that Sandi is a director. If you think about it logically it is most likely that the clause was put in for the very purpose of covering Sandi's existing director appointment without having to put her name in the articles of association.

But even on that level of vapid level of a game, those people actually play/run the game, more than half of backers have never played SC at any point in the 6+ years it's been "playable".

Some interesting comments about the state of the game on Spectrum:quote:It takes upwards of 5 minutes to move from an orbiting space station to the planet's surface and once you're in the atmosphere it feels like your ship is moving through molasses - that's in the Mustang Omega, which is a racing ship. It is an exercise in tedium. quote:The OP is correct, very little if anything related to money making is working at all. Box missions not worth anyone's time, cargo runs ruined and no economy or activity. For example, If I were to do box missions to make the aUEC to buy the 2 ships I lost with the patch I would have to do 900 missions. With average play time of 3-4 hours a day it would take only 181.4 DAYS. quote:I can only totally agree with your words ... quote:Worst thing is that if SC PU is any indication of what to expect in SQ42 in terms of side missions, locations, planetary environments, fauna/flora, physics interaction with items and player character/ships/vehicle, HUD/UI, performance, stability, glitches/bugs, rewards/loot, item upgrades, AI/NPCs etc etc. Star Citizer: The only hope is at this point that the cutscenes and storytelling are so good that it overshadows even the most tedious, shallow and boring gameplay inbetween Nyast fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Aug 10, 2020 |

No, Mafia 2 got in trouble for a while because there were files in the released game and other leaked stuff that were very much hinting at trying to sell very baseline mechanics like melee weapons, etc. as core additions to the gameplay. It was super nefarious at the time and got cancelled, but people were absolutely livid and rightfully so.

“At the beginning, four years ago” is delicious, like the game had already had five years of development time at that point, which is a long time for even the most ambitious titles. But let’s gloss over the fact it’s taken twice as much money and double the time to produce one percent of a game.
