I can see the appeal of second life in space, but they have chosen the worst possible approach. Something with simpler, stylized graphics would be quicker to develop and iterate and they could make a version of No Man's Sky where you actually saw other people. Instead they went for the 4K textured boring reality style that is impossible to finish and too complex to handle by their incompetent team.

It's CRs need for everything to be movie quality, because the cinematic sequences are the most impressive and important parts to him.

And honestly it's paid off in spades... so probably me believing there should be a video game behind the video game advertising is most likely dumb as heck to believe. :shrug:

Anyone remember that unstable CIG fanboy who came up with a convoluted conspiracy theory about how "crobear" was a homophobic slur? He also had another theory about how getting a refund was equivalent to financial fraud or something like that. I hope he has given up on CIG and sorted things out in his life.

My point is that you are getting wound up over something I don't think you have taken the time to reason properly about, and you're buying into a faux-outrage based on vapid steam generated by a group demonstrably acting in bad faith. You should calm down and consider the situation from a more objective angle. If you still feel that Drake is hosed then you can maybe swap ships with something armored more to your liking.

Either that or you can pay 10 dollars (Yes, it costs 10 dollars to join their club. Not making that up.) to spoon with the one with beets in his trunk and/or his companions in their fuzzy feline, holy beer & pirate themed pajama party (NO GIRLS ALLOWED) while making erotically charged fingerpaintings of Chris Roberts as a hot bear.

quote:

It gives me the impression that the guy copy pasted bits of other peoples story and created their own.

They have to stop peddling the idea that you can sue in the EU for "non-delivery" by ignoring the TOS and acting like you didn't know it was a crowdfunded project under development, because you can't. And the word "refund" isn't a magic get-out-of-jail-free-card in the EU either. They have been corrected on this several times, but they continue to make the claim.

In many countries in the EU it is a crime to encourage other people to file lawsuits that you have no foot in. It's illegal to stir up crowds to generate negativity. It's illegal to encourage people to do charge backs on a credit card unless in the case of non-delivery or fraud. It's illegal to state something about a business or individual that isn't true. It's illegal to pose as a person of relatable background to dupe others for personal gain, like for instance telling people they should be mad about Star Citizen and then buy their in-game assets at reduced rates at the gray market. It's illegal to harass people online, and that includes people with public images such as Chris Roberts and Sandi Gardiner.

They act like they're being lawful, but the fact is that the starcitizen_refunds subreddit actively encourages people to commit crimes. But as we all know Reddit doesn't really care about that, which in some cases makes sense (r/trees) but in other cases (r/incel and r/starcitizen_refunds) it encourages behavior that is bizarre to put it mildly. I wonder if Reddit will stop allowing (and almost encourage) people to lie about other companies' business, generate fraudulent evidence and slander their employees because it makes them feel temporarily important.

Lol'ed at "it's probably not fake because what would anyone stand to gain" in the comments, because that is hilarious. We know that people on starcitizen_refunds is "gaining" something, but it's not necessarily of monetary value, it's an emotional one. Second of all, this argument is completely stupid on the basis that this would not be the first time that anyone does something like this. Not even close. But it's still a good point - what are the shitizens of starcitizen_refunds think they are getting out of any of this?

There are several people in that thread that encourages other people to not be skeptical as well, even though it has some huge obvious red flags.

Addendum: their overt sexual attraction and obsession with Chris Roberts is extremely creepy.

quote:

A hot bear is a gay term for a hairy man and you literally have hundreds of images of Chris Roberts face photoshopped on bears. And one of you guys decided to illustrate my point perfectly. Projection isn't going to work.

That picture did make me laugh though, so thanks for that.

At first I was biting my lip over that game, and then it became one of the best games I played for the whole year or so. I actually beat it, and that says a lot because I not only almost never play games, the ones I do I rarely beat unless they are something that makes me amused or interested.

That game kept changing things up so much that I never got tired of some specific type of gameplay for too long.

It's almost shocking to talk about a video game that knew it was a video game and went bonkers with gameplay in a thread about a game that wants to be a movie and went bonkers with creating anti-gameplay.

That's the one! That guy is a legend!

He was also obsessed with calling the refunds sub a hate sub. Many of the hardcore faithful use that term, but he took it to another level. He was actually convinced that there was some sort of conspiracy against CIG by what in his mind were the gaming equivalent of neo-nazis.

I genuinely hope he is feeling better!

I think I've been bathing in Star Citizen's lovely waters for too long because when I hear Dav Stott say:

I immediately think of Crobbers and his blue green pixel.

EDIT: I was just thinking, the closest Store Citizer can get to this sort of granular detail about how the game's systems actually work (LOL) is Tony Z's CitizenCon snore fests. But where Dav is talking about things that actually are, Tony Z is opining about how like things totally might be if Aquarius is in Taurus and Saul Goodman finds Joe Malik on the island of Fernando Poo and anyway subsumptzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

So from the video.

1. Flying in dumb overly close formation.
2. Showing off "military".
3. Showing "inclusion"
4. Showing what could be, and not what is.


And to space nerds, all of that is the special sauce for them to throw more money at Star Citizen.

I know Citizens like to make stuff up to feel better about their lack of a game, but what? Most diverse weapons? Since when? I thought they had mostly generic FPS weapons, not even futuristic like you would expect given 900 years of development from today. Or is this just another version of "Combat in SC is much more fun and exciting than any other FPS on the market," when there is absolutely nothing to make it stand out (in a positive way).
