 I would say it's the opposite of predatory, it's very fair if someone wants to spend $25k on something to get them to spend $1k first to make sure they're satisfied with what they're getting. taxxe:

I thought you folks were joking about the new ship being an x wing rip off. They're barely hiding it lol. And Im usually pretty generous about 'inspired' content.

trucutru posted:Like, have you seen a tier list for some popular vidja game? The first 10 minutes are spent explaining that the list is their opinion and that this doesn't mean that the viewer is dumb/wrong/etc. Then, for every single character/weapon/enemy in a "bad" tier the creator has to remind everybody again that this is their opinion and that it doesn't mean... etc, etc, etc. Saying something is bad on youtube is extremely risky. I dunno I'm thinking about most of the game youtubers I actually watch- quite shallow, brozime, milkandcookiestotalwar, jimquisition, dunkey, chip cheezum, martincitopants, etc etc- tend to go pretty hard on their chosen games/topics and they are not particularly unpopular with their audiences for it. I think there is a very specific demographic of toxic gamer shitlords who cannot be told they are wrong under any circumstances without flying into a tantrum, and apparently Star Citizen and Linus Tech Tips live in some sort of adjacency to that demo. But god if any gaming youtube I pay attention to did that poo poo I'd never watch them again. It makes the videos utterly devoid of any purpose.

This was the second time it’d happened to him in two hours We will try again tomorrow

YouTube reviews are largely garbage. They cater to one of two opinion blocks about any topic: this is literally the worst thing, or this is literally the best thing. The stupid engagement metrics don’t care why you watch, or whether you vote up or down, or whether your comment is pro or con. That review was no different. He came down firmly on “yeah bugs but SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND AMBITION WOWEE.” For a “long-form” (lol) review it was insipid, shallow, and devoid of context or critical thought.

Riley's video needed more Bootcha. I don't really get the hate for it in this thread though, the majority of its runtime is showing bugs and angry backers saying they got burned.

" I dunno why some people think that SC "being better" than Elite is some kind of huge win, Elite is pretty loving average at best, and downright tedious and anti-fun at worst. SC to me feels like a really hyper-exaggerated version of ARK, all this huge ambition that in reality is extremely flawed, buggy as hell and with no resolution in sight, big ideas that can't be executed on properly because of developer incompetence or naivety, endless feature bloat and promises that cannot be kept, a constant arms-race to introduce new paid content that invalidates everything before it - the list is endless. At least Wildcard doesn't have the balls to charge for individual dinosaurs... yet. edit: Youtube comment posted:There was this old meme I saw some years back that's a guy looking at a laptop and on it he's in a ship in Star Citizen, the caption is "Wow, it's finally released!", but... nightwisher fucked around with this message at 13:30 on May 23, 2021 |

ARK is a good example because they announced ARK 2 and a spin-off TV series with lots of Hollywood talent, which is a Croberts-tier move.

I'm not going to watch a long review of Star Citizen, because gently caress that. But as someone that watches a lot of LTT, in my opinion Riley is d-tier as far as their talking heads and writers go. He's just full-bore into the "WhOaHHAH, WaCkY crazy guy!" persona and I find it infuriating to watch him. Obviously I'm looking to be entertained but I also want at least an iota of someone knowing what they're talking about. I assume he's good at the other parts of his job but he's just a bad on-screen person.

For supposedly being a bunch of tech nerds you'd think they would actually dig into the supposed tech that CIG has "created" to see that it's a bunch of basic poo poo everyone else figured out a decade ago. Also if you even give server meshing 5 minutes of thought about how CIG is trying to make it work you'll realize how many flaws and problems it would have and that they'll never actually get there.

Id rather they created tier 0 of everything and deliver a poor game to build up than a game thats pretty to look at with nothing in it posted:Hearing the scorpius and persus and all the other pretty stuff in the game doesnt impress. I did the Javelin tour and that was no different than walking around the Reclaimer. Seeing the Tier 0 of the actual content of the game being pushed back devastated me as i genuinely thought they where working on the actual part thats the "game" quote:You do realize that there are only around 600+ employees, right? To do what you want, they would need THOUSANDS. quote:I didn't suggest that they won't, but I doubt it will ever reach plural, thousand-S-. They will grow to between 1,200 and 1,500 and then shrink back down to a more reasonable level once Star Citizen is launched. Probably back down to a more reasonable of half their peak, or a bit less. quote:It doesn't take a whole lot to maintain. If I thought they weren't going to be a massive success, I would have said that they would shrink to 150-250 developers.
