yes but even after the two hours or so it took to group together, the "jank" from just the portion that I watched involved getting linus glitched into walls or stuck in chairs no less than 4 times

all while I get to watch this morphology dweeb's face with his constant look of nervousness any time someone in the stream was like "oh poo poo, what's behind this door on the ship, how do I open this" as even he knew they might get ejected into space and it'd take a half hour to find that person again

that morphology dude really tried to sell the "well, at least we're having fun, haha, right guys?" thing to hilariously cringey extents

oh it's probably worth pointing out that the CIG-affiliated streamers gameplay looked smoothish, every other person in the stream who wasn't all in on CIG was complaining about getting 1-15FPS and desync the entire time. that's not even the flavor of jank you can have fun with, it's just trash

For sure, it's definitely trash.

it shows even with hundreds of dollars worth of ships and the blessings of developers it is still a miserable experience.

To me it's like watching a bunch of good mates on a road trip getting a flat tyre, everything about the situation sucks but it can still be fun/funny with good company.

Only you did not spend $500 to get a flat tyre.

For anyone that missed it here is the big 'fire fight' that was totally not scripted to happen by cig employees

https://clips.twitch.tv/PoliteCharmingEagleShadyLulu-bp_L5RkRU2edtsAN

This is the reveal as they back out of the hanger (why would you back out of a hanger..?) and SURPRISE an idris just happens to slowly motor past the 3rd person camera view

notice the chat during all this... streamer at some point freaks out 'OH MY GOD AN IDRIS WE BETTER STAY OUT OF ITS RAILGUN THAT THING WILL 1 SHOT US'.... the Idris doesn't fire a single shot the entire engagement

https://clips.twitch.tv/UglySnappyKleeSoonerLater-PVWtkZv3vKBrW6gS]

most of the firefight is like this, the idris slowly drifting along while being fired upon by the streamers ship + what looks like 3-4 other ships. notice all done in 3rd person mostly for that ultra cinematic presentation

https://clips.twitch.tv/CheerfulConfidentSmoothiePartyTime-JzFEZqMgD-tt6RR-

now that the streamers have expended all their ballistic ammo they're using laser turrets, again the idris just kind of hangs around soaking everything up and I don't think fires a shot back once

https://clips.twitch.tv/SpunkyHelplessWheelAliens-QSQrvmcAkdeyo15l

here it is, the big ending. after acknowledging that the enemy idris still has 95% of its health left the server suddenly erupts allover itself as the developer self destructs the idris. KILL CONFIRMED FOLKS!

that's it, shut it down boys COD will never match anything CIG can put out!

The Idris spawn is so funny cause the dev who did it probably thought they'd get a huge reaction from the LTT guys but really that only works for Citizens who have already bought fully in and are personally deeply invested in these ships that the mere sight of one jankily flying past is a jaw dropping experience. For anyone else it's yet another broken space ship in a broken game full of broken space ships.

We don’t need to. Our students at the end of this program know how to make those games.

I'm not sure that a semester's-worth crash course in C# for Unity and enterprise app development will be enough to prepare someone for making a MMORPG...

Actually, you know what? That's probably enough for CIG. Sure, go for it!

So I've only skimmed this thread over the years and never really gone mining for the Citizen's Defense Crew stuff until I watched that stream you guys posted last night, but the youtube comments on the carefully curated supercut of that stream are just so...sad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2FJMErSDPw



Another "OK now play it the right way"


:stare:


is this a threat + "I'm too mature to actually hit him"?


Think of the glitches as what weeds out the normies


more revenge fantasies


Desync issues? I'm sure it'll work better when we add more than one server into the mix


Pots & kettles, etc


"Normal experience"


This isn't an either/or, but they'll pretend it is



"A sophisticated video game for the refined gameur"


for 1 its not a game its a simulator





I mean how do you have the energy to defend this pile of poo poo, day after day video after video thread after thread? How do you get to the point where you think a "fair" review is one where the review is patient in between the times you define as gameplay doing tedious setup, where the reviewer not move or touch or do anything outside of precisely what you tell them. How do you think the reviewers trying to unearth fun in the jank is a bad thing? Complaining that people finding silver lining on the clouds are ruining the fidelity of the clouds?

Read: “FPS but sometimes TPS and always from the character's perspective (except when it isn't)”. But said in a way that makes it less obvious that it's the same as every game ever.

This particular steamer mentioned a few times he had a script and plan , obviously none of it happened except maybe the part where a dev spawned an idris and lazily flew it around while tanking shots before hitting the self destruct button

It was basically off the rails from the start the only hope of anyone having fun was Linus screwing around

It’s sad that the citizens can’t even be happy for that

Given how poo poo the whole thing was, with a script and the guidance of someone with extensive experience in this thing, I can not even dare imagine how the new, and unguided, player experience must be.

Like Tippis says, they were probably trying to describe how Star Citizen is, in CRs' head, supposed to be an immersive experience that never takes control away from the player and feels like a single-shot film-like virtual experience in a real universe.

Except it isn't like that at all and the game does switch from first-person to third-person for specific parts, it'll also take control away from you for scripted interactions that can't be cancelled. And stuff breaks your immersion all the goddamn time.

"character-centric design" sounds like a redundant phrase, too.

Tippis
Mar 21, 2008

It is also an (unintentional) shorthand for “it's an on-foot FPS engine with some poorly tacked-on vehicle gameplay that has been extended way beyond the breaking point”, to insinuate that this is something different from every other FPS from before they all became capable of doing vehicles reasonably well some time in the mid-'00s. It's “character-centric” because that's what the game engine does by default, and also because it couldn't possibly be anything else since they never managed to get the rest working properly (in spite of SC ostensibly being a spaceship game).

If you sit in a certain chair, you are teleported 15 million miles into space.
You have to push an arcane key sequence in order to perform mundane tasks.
If you look at your magic PDA while going to bed, you turn into a space ship.
If you press a certain menu button, you die.

Plot twist: Star Citizen is a 1995 adventure game.

If the only thing you can conclude by playing star citizen is that it is poo poo, maybe, just maybe, star citizen is poo poo.

They can't comprehend that maybe he just thinks the game is poo poo and isn't doing it "for the clicks".
If they took 1 minute to scroll through the types of videos on LTT (and their other channels) there isn't a single game review in there, it's not what they do.

He's been using Doom Eternal as his on-camera benchmark game since it came out.


I think the other funny thing is that they think anyone would bother to write a hit piece on Star Citizen. The games industry continues to produce new stuff and move forward. The only thing being written about Star Citizen is fluff pieces that are just reconfigured press releases. No one even cares enough about SC to go write something about it that actually takes some effort. It's the train-wreck sideshow of the industry that continues to lose appeal the longer it goes on.

Barring some other controversy popping up I imagine the next big article about SC will be written when it quietly shuts down in however many years that takes.
