Trilobite posted:True. But if CIG ever manage to solve The Riddle of Chris ("What is release, anyway?"), they're multiply hosed no matter what. That's a really good point. If they don't charge a monthly fee to play, and they burn through all the pre-sold-dlc just to produce the game, what money will they use to support its operation and new content? And if its selling ships, then those ships have to be painfully hard to acquire without paying, or who would pay? So yeah, everything is hosed and the game can never be balanced or approach "fun".

One thing that strikes me is that Planetside 2 basically does what SC wants to do but on a planetary rather than galactic scale. It supports a fuckload of people, has flight and foot sections at the same time, ect. Yes its faked and yes the engine is years out of date but that would have made way more sense than loving Cryengine.

Popete posted:Elite Dangerous is on sale for $7.49 on Steam and includes the previous Horizons expansion with millions (billions?) of empty planets to explore. Or you could buy a single useless starter ship in Star Citizen for $45 and explore 1 of 4 empty planets. I've been playing the Odyssey on-foot stuff, and the stealthy sneaking around gameplay is totally my poo poo. I'm really enjoying this. FD has built some really cool bits and pieces into how the various settlements work. My favourite achievement so far has been to jump up onto the roof of a large Storage building (low G world - would have to use the stairs otherwise), "clone-scan" the Level 2 Access ID of a worker dude I could see through a skylight, then sneak past the patrolling npc commandos (lol) into the Command building. In there, I found a Level 3 Access person wandering around, and sneakily cloned his ID without being spotted... which I then used to get into the "security brig" area - a restricted zone that would see lots of angry, well-armed npcs descend upon me if I were spotted there. In that area was a control panel that let me shut off the settlement's alarm system - flicked that, then got out asap. Next, sneaked over to the Power generator building - Level 3 access, so now an open door to me. I was able to steal the magic critical component that made the generator run... without the alarm going off. After a 60-second countdown, the settlement plunged into darkness, and away I ran to call up a boring taxi ride back to the station. Luckily, there were no ramps anywhere, or sandworms.

This is the guy who took credit for the new roadmap like a month after he started working at CIG and it turns he didn't actually do anything but bug a bunch of managers to give him development "progress" updates to fill out the roadmap Turbulent created. He is probably getting paid peanuts because CIG low balled him knowing he was a die hard backer and wanted to work for CIG more than anything.

Zaphod42 posted:Also the dogfighting (which is poo poo anyways) has been playtested and balanced for 40-50 players (lol not really) so how is all that going to work if you suddenly turn player counts up x100? For me the best part is that to balance that poo poo, they have to go back all the way to the artists. All the properties are baked into model materials and calculated from that. They will tweek all models that have space aluminium material components if they want to make one of them manouver better

I wouldn't be surprised if said PS4 port has similar performance to running SC on a high-end PC, but with 2-3x the player count and better animations.

Meanwhile the (i can't think of another ship name off hand) is made of shipnameium, which is an essentially very similar but slightly different alloy.

Bofast posted:I like stealth gameplay, so that sounds right up my alley if done properly. It could easily get repetitive, I fear. For example, if the same guy walks the same beat on the same stairs in any large "Storage" building. Then you know to just hop on the roof, wait at the second window, and scan their ID. Given the procedural nature of the Elite universe, that sort of pattern repetition is quite likely, unfortunately. It would then be more a matter of learning the viable "sneak" approaches for each building type, instead of having to observe the specific settlement and its residents/guards. I guess it depends on how much effort FD can invest in creating variety. "Thief in Space" is cool and run right now, though! lol

Maybe it's the cynic in me, but I get concerned for people when they're so happy and excited to work for a specific company. It depends on the company of course, but it can lead to you happily being exploited for criminally low pay because you see it as a privilege to work there. This may be more of a new grad thing also. I can understand it. You're out of school and you're excited just by having a 'real' job and making your first steps into the corporate world. You don't yet know your value and are thus ripe for being taken advantage of until you figure it out. It took me years to really realize the value of my skills and experience and it can be tough to actually hardball negotiate proper compensation if you're not that kind of personality. I think it's great to be able to work at a place that you love but it's important to not shortchange yourself in the process. And I believe it's fairly well-known that CIG underpays across the board right?
