That HUD looks awful, why is it so busy? There is just random dots and numbers all over the place. A HUD doesn't need to display every piece of possible information, it's supposed to be a concise easy to ready display that you can glance at in combat. EDIT: Why are there so many random dots and lines that appear to serve no purpose??

Mailer posted:FS2020 is a hack job from some mediocre dev. You might think you're flying over a farm, but it's just satellite imagery with some bland fakery on top of it. In CIG's Earth, you'll be able to fly down to that farm and meet the farmer who will have his own hopes and dreams and will react to you based on how his life is going. This is all tracked server-side thanks to icache or quanta or something that looks like a lot of writing on a whiteboard. It might be a player, enjoying the game by never leaving that farm or seeing space because that's Star Citizen and you can't tell the NPCs from the players. Then you'll hide in the barn with lust on your mind. That's not my fault, Ram Ranch really rocks.

it'd be cool if every player was constantly wearing every outfit they own. and then when you change outfits they just keep ripping off layers like velcro track suits until it gets to the outfit you chose.

This is the evolution of Star Citizen's design philosophy in one picture. You might have to right click and open in another window to enlarge: 1: Normal HUD. Readable. Screens are poorly positioned but big enough to be usable. Understands that is a video game. Immovable chat window obscures whatever that top-left information is. Screens from left to right: your ship, radar, enemy ship. Simple. 2: Holy poo poo. They didn't bother to fix the chat bug, but they sure hosed everything else. Hundreds of tiny, incomprehensible screens, each one requiring that the user hold down a button and use the mouse to interact with them, essentially preventing them from flying the ship. But they sure look fidelitous! Screens, left to right: Heat signature (useless), power (useless), your ship, radar (now broken), enemy target (also broken), your ship again but without the model this time (useless), component power (useless). Just loaded with pointless bullshit. 3: To go even further beyond. They are now actively placing a major element in the area that will collide with the chat in their design picture, they have learned nothing. The new HUD color is sure to be obscured by any reasonably bright surface. The screens are even tinier and less comprehensible, but they look like a movie fighter cockpit. Most of the numbers on-screen do not represent anything meaningful at all. Screens, left to right: power triangle (useless, will be obscured), your ship + random numbers, enemy ship + random numbers, random numbers + circles. Only one panel conveys anything even approaching coherent information. The most critical element, the radar, no longer even features in their design thought process.

I was just thinking, with the long elevator rides, the long corridors, the unexplainable length of animations, are they just smoke and mirrors / "loading screens" to ensure the server has enough time to resync with the player? Otherwise what's the logic in all this time-wasting bullshit?

no_recall posted:I was just thinking, with the long elevator rides, the long corridors, the unexplainable length of animations, are they just smoke and mirrors / "loading screens" to ensure the server has enough time to resync with the player? Sort of yes: it is not a sync issue, but they do not load everything to the client at once. CryEngine maps eat up a shitload of memory with all the art objects glued all over them, so Star Citizen tries to avoid ever presenting more than one at a time to the client to handle. It is possible that the server itself unloads these areas until a player is present, but I don't really know how all of that functions. The cities are not loaded until you get there. This is why entry/exit to the big maps is so gated via the landing areas. They do not load in the rest of the city until you are on the train headed towards them- Microtech currently has some fun bugs where the new map sections will not load, and your train will continually stop in the middle of an abyss. If you watch the trains take off, you'll see the area you are leaving instantly unload and be replaced by a blank tunnel wall as well. This is also why the big stations are now being divided up into "Decks" that are large physical distances away from each other, and also why none of the elevators have ever been given windows. It's all to get around the asset limit. However, the long QT times appear to be unrelated.

QT length should be due to the fact that they are trying some cross server shenanigans that isn't working out the way they're hoping. Cryengine back in my day used XML data for everything, nothing is dynamic and everything has to be loaded on to the client. It would appear that the QT length is due because a request is probably sent to the server to sync player data with the server and destination state data with the player / client. The fact that the mean time for some QT jumps are hilariously long makes me think that a 3 year old is building their backend.

An important thing to realise about Obra Dinn is that everything is a clue, not just in the murder scene but in every other scene; in the current-time scene; and pretty much every page in the note book. Ship map? Clues. Manifest? Tons of clues — in every column. Even the one that you don't think of as a column at first. Passenger drawing? Omfgwtfcluevaganza. Text captions? Well, yeah, clues. There are a few bodies that require a bit of out-of-game knowledge, and those can be pretty cruel, but they're still not obscure enough not to be subject to pretty simple rules of elimination. Also, if you haven't had a ton of exposure to English dialects and accents, some distinctions can be a bit tricky, but they're not requried to figure out the answer — they just help.

I actually had to read up on some stuff on the net, like uniforms of that age, and that added a lot more to the overall experience. I agree that I'd say three fates are pretty hard to solve without beeing able to identify the dialect. I have to say the only death I had to lookup after more than an hour looking at the scenes around it was the death of the two guys beeing blasted by the cannon. I had the names correct (I was sure), the cause of death, but it would never register...I spent so much time identifying the person that lit the cannon, but somehow my stupid brain never thought off the monster beeing the shooter...I mean you can see why the cannon shoots the wrong way, but I still never thought of that solution/didn't realize it was even possible... ...sometimes you can totally run into a dead end for quite some time only to go for the big old facepalm once you see the solution

I agree that I'd say three fates are pretty hard to solve without beeing able to identify the dialect. On the spoiler, that's another thing that the game does pretty brilliantly: the answers available aren't restricted and often allow for interpretation without calling out outright “wrong”. That instance is the only one that really forces it. But I think it is also intended to be an early hint and pseudo-tutorial that, yeah, this isn't Clue; the answer isn't always “Colonel Mustard™ in the Library® with the Candlestick©”. The way the facts can be combined allows for some odd potential answers, and this means something for how some bodies are resolved. Again: the game-interface itself almost is a clue. Sure, in that particular scene, it can be a bit annoying because it requires a lot to click at once but still.
