colonelwest posted:Lol so much for the big NMS-style redemption arc... That's a drat shame. It really shows how far BioWare has fallen as a brand- I thought Anthem had huge potential and they have examples of successful business models in exactly this sort of game sitting all over the place- Destiny, Warframe, The Division. They could have turned it around at any point by taking it back for a year and giving it an overhaul but they just don't have the will or the competence.

The Titanic posted:Are you trying to tell me we're not going to get the giant ship with the farming and telescope modules they sold??? Just because it's not on the roadmap and there has been no indication whatsoever that anyone at CIG even remembers that ship doesn't mean that they aren't working on it secretly. Why, it might be a surprise addition to the next patch! Or the one after it! Or the one after those? ...look, the point is, CIG is committed to being incredibly open about development and they care deeply about their fans, so whenever it looks like they don't have anything to report, you can be confident that they're just keeping very very quiet about all the amazing work they're doing. They have to do that, because otherwise it will spoil the game for everyone, and anyway, it's not like they're perpetually groping for literally anything that looks vaguely like progress to talk about in their videos, right? Right. So in conclusion, buy a couple of Idrises to protect your science ship now, before they increase in value!

Technically, Bad Rats is a game, so Star Citizen could absolutely aspire to be just as good as that in another decade or two.

All the mocap stuff, all the leaked stuff, all the refactoring, Roberts changing pixels, etc. i'm a pessimist and would probably say its incalculable although it would be fun to try think about this for a second, how many high-end workstations have they bought over the years, considering it's been 8 years already so they've most likely replaced old with new at least twice, assuming developers of the worlds first AAAA game need the latest tech constantly (we know they do, Roberts probably has 4x3090's in the desktop he types emails on) we know they have no problem 'gifting' multi-thousand dollar pc's to supporters and streamers, how many 10's of thousands do you figure was blown just on those pc's? it's amazing exactly how much can be spent with zero oversight it would be like a charity executive team all buying brand new Ferrari's every 2 years (I'm sure it's happened too!) because no one can tell them what to do with all that FREE MONEY they've somehow been told to watch over

The endeavor is there, but it doesn't seem to link to this beautiful package anymore: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/14974-Design-Science-And-The-Endeavor I guess at this stage you pretty much have to know how cig is loving you over in order to learn all the things they did to gently caress you over (and the people before you).

Here's some comedy from the forums. Stupid parts have been bolded. Ship naming incoming! The CIG numpty posted:As announced in our recent Roadmap update, we’re introducing ship naming and serial numbers in the upcoming Alpha 3.13 patch. With this feature, select ships can display a player-assigned name and the unique serial number they were assigned at purchase on their hulls. * Ship naming is yet another feature that fractures the ship assets into those with the new feature and those without. Components, elevators, HUDs, locking doors, airlocks, snub fighters, selectable skins, customizable interiors... implement mechanics for every ship, you assholes! If you can't then don't release it! Nobody can remember half of what you've stuffed into different goddamn ships at this point! * Unique names per hull purely to enforce scarcity, and then they're going to have a priority queue so only the whalest of whales who have held onto their ships will get first crack at naming them "USS ENTERPRISE" * Of course it isn't an in-game feature or process. * 3 of the 5 nameable ships are luxury yachts and a salvage boat that doesn't do anything, the others are a combat ship that needs 6 players manning turrets to be useable and a medium size ship that eats so much gas nobody can afford to fly it,  * Of course they want to charge money for it. Jesus loving Christ, CIG.

Citizens are already very mad that they will be subjected to hundreds of Mill3n1um F4lcon renames due to the unique naming rule. I'm sure CIG will do the right thing... and limit ascii and numeral use in the names. Oh also you can't name ships you bought in-game for in-game cash because those don't show up on the website, lol. Get hosed, game players! Looking forward to setting sale on the SS D3R3K SM4RT W4S R1GHT

People who care about uniqueness want ship names that stand out, and they don't need an enforced unique name for that. The players who don't care about standing out just want to name their ship Millennium Falcon, and you arn't winning any points from them by not letting them do that. Looking forward to the first rager from a player trying to name all their ships the same thing except one hull where someone else got it first.

Can we name it and squat on it like domain name squatters, I bet you Ben will pay BIG to get it This is going to be clearly hilarious watching the grognards lose it when they can't get the special name they wanted because someone that pressed F5 faster got it first HAHAHA

Oh ya this too I've seen plenty of rich people that have 4 cars and will name them all MYCAR1 MYCAR2 MYCAR3 etc poo poo like that Imagine Clifford flipping his poo poo to the concierge people once he tries to register SPEARMINTVR1 and see's it taken already

Last King posted:speaking of ridiculous... I don't know why this surprises you. Here's how the pricing model works: $360: This is the bog standard cargo ship. It is big and it hauls cargo. It will be completely defenseless even with turret gunners and will still lose all your poo poo when the game crashes to desktop. It is absolutely not worth even a tenth of this price, and you can buy cargo ships in-game for free. $480: This is the "Military" version of the cargo ship. It hauls less cargo than the first one, in exchange for a hand wave and nebulous promise of better equipment, or something. They don't even bother to describe the difference anymore, they just say "It's military" and raise the price by a hundred dollars. Citizens still pay the difference. $700: This is the "Whale" version of the cargo ship. It can haul less than a third of the first one's cargo, but they have promised new features like being able to drop gravity bombs, in a space game about spaceships in space. Only a fool would buy this. It is here to make idiots think that the first two are a good value. Citizens have been trained to fetishize spaceships that are facsimiles of actual planes, so this one is compared to the C-130 Hercules that they stuck a howitzer to the side of. It will not have a howitzer. Sarsapariller fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Feb 25, 2021 |

A reminder that Diablo 2 released in June 2000. Then Diablo 3 released in May 2012 (and was considered to be pretty late), around the time of SC Kickstarter. Now, nine years later, there's Diablo 4 announced, Blizzard is releasing Diablo 2 remaster for its 20th anniversary (slightly late, but Covid) and Star Citizen still has nothing.
