You can't see her hands so Sandi is the one holding the knife.

It tracks with all the other things we know about her behavior.

The likelihood he cares about that is probably close to absolute zero.

He's in it for the money, not for the joy of making a video game for people.

He's probably annoyed at the one or two meetings he has to attend a week to talk about the dumb video game.

Quite a few store citizen are pissed that CIG gutted their latest milestone release.

But I bet it won't stop them from scoring JPEGs. In particular, the X wing clone seems to be getting higher than average interest from the faithful.

You're getting it kinda wrong. Before every big sale there is always a large group of commandos that start making GBS threads on the game, not because they are not planning to buy every loving new ships there is but because they think that poo-pooing the game at that moment may cause other commandos to skip buying the limited ships and thus give them a better chance at scoring one.

You can always see it, shortly before the sale they are like "My wallet is closed and we all should try to send a message to CIG blah blah" and then, during the sale, they are like "Yes! I managed to buy 2 krakens! gently caress yeah!"

I'm not sure what it is but looking at the graphics in SC are really starting to feel dated now. I think it's the simple lighting and shadows and the way everything is clean and empty.

Yeah, that's the problem with fiedlity. The more detailed something is, the more it stands out that it's fake, because in real life, the detailed stuff is also clutter and wear and stuff like that. Ideally you'd want to add it procedurally via some noise, but it's really hard to make it believable - and time consuming to place it manually.

Actually I think the best one was the super complex manual loading system in capital ships one.

That was one that probably should have made people reconsider what the heck this project is and what kind of idiot is running it, but here we are almost 10 years now.

Ah, yes, the one where the supposed detailed loading system had a bunch of torpedoes just floating around without being held by anything. That was top tier CIG nonsense :D

Remember Squadron 42 Briefings? Yeah, we got ONE.

:reddit: posted:

People arguing that "progress has been made": no fkn poo poo!? Did you expect them to take progress away or what??? That does not make the SPEED and CONTENT of the progress any less ridiculous and laughable.

There are basically no new mission types or gameplay loops beyond mining since 5 years ago.

Meanwhile we are getting slammed by minimal features as if they were creating miracles for us.

3D objects such as plants or new textures for rocks are not something to justify a quarter of development.... And they really don't add to the incredibly needed GAME aspect of this GAME.

Meanwhile, every patch brings in more bugs than fixes and every added feature is broken af.

Take the latest docking feature they emailed everyone about to hype us up: there was actually just one ship that had this feature working so to sell it as a "we got ship docking now!" is total bullshit imo. But a step further.. The ship docking actually works great. In 0G the merlin docks perfectly.

But what if you try auto-docking in atmosphere? You get stuck for 5 minutes because the ship can't manage docking and nobody thought of building in a drat abort button. You want to repair or refuel your Connie? You can't. No landing features work because it's perceiving 2 ships instead of one. Nobody thought of or tested this before publishing. You have to undock your merlin to do so. What happens when you repair without the merlin docked into your Connie? You get a new merlin repaired into your Connie. Yeah, I have 6 merlin ready to be retrieved so far. Again, nobody decided to fix this before going main pipeline with this feature. You want to use the advantage of a merlin to fly from your main ship, perhaps down to a planet or whatever? Ha, your Connie just despawnwed.

You would call the addition of docking "progress" but I have to say it's non-functional trash that BARELY works. And the sad thing is, every feature in this game so far is just as broken and does not get fixed for at least a couple of years. It literally took them like 6 years to rework the god drat elevator panels to give some fkn feedback when pressed.

The amount of 0 fucks given either my the devs or managers is staggering within CIG.

:reddit: posted:

The funny thing is OP is getting knocked for reposting this almost a year later.

But no one looked at the comments last year... Or years before. People have been making the same excuses for years, the game is moving at a galacial pace, and outside of arbitrarily saying it's 1.0... this game will be done sometime. But it's not going to be any time soon.

They pitched the Kickstarter back in 2012. I backed in 2015 and the first PU was released in 2016 IIRC. We're approaching a decade of development and we still haven't gotten out of Stanton.

This game has given people countless hours of fun. But the game is what we have now, always has been. The dream that this will be X sometime down the road is just that... A dream.

:reddit: posted:

Just another 10 years guys! Thats all we need. Plus another 350million. Oh in that time keep releasing new ships for people to buy.

poo poo the game isnt even FUN. Its just a tech demo. How many years in ?

Nothing about it is fun at all. How long does it take to achieve anything basic? too fking long.

The state the game is in now, is how CIG want it to be. Money is rolling in. If they release it and its wank there dead. Nows the perfect time for profit, why bother even trying to release anything at all

But there are also apologists, but they're in minority

:reddit: posted:

If CGI only cared about ship sales they wouldn't have gutted the Road Map until AFTER Invictus week.

They are being up front with their content development ahead of their largest ship sale week of the year. They deserve credit for that at least.

:reddit: posted:

The past few weeks people on this sub were speculating that CIG wasn't going to release a "truthful" update on the roadmap because of Invictus Week. Now that CIG released terrible news regarding 3.14 BEFORE the sale, I think it's worth to point out that at least they didn't hold the delays off.
