I can't even handle this anymore. There are a few gaming bars that will show stuff like League of Legends tournaments. You know, games that legitimately have millions of players and large cash prizes. There are zero places that would do this.

poo poo really? I'm right around backer #2500 and I do indeed have some stupid citizen card in my desk somewhere. I've even got that digital Golden Ticket for the initial GDC Online thing, and all kinds of commemorative digital gear like statues and coins.
Where would I find someone to buy this?

It’s exactly how a sizeable portion of the American population perceived the bullshit spewed by Donald Trump, so…


I’ve long seen a major overlap between Trump chuds and SC whales, maybe not in terms of politics but definitely in terms of cult-like insistence that everything is great actually and Dear Leader/Greatest Game is infallible and can only be failed.

SC = buy endgame ships with $, take some screenshots, do nothing to avoid bugs and tedium, wait for another spaceship jpg to buy with $, repeat

That does sound pretty sad. I often feel the same way with games in general, like I feel like I want to play something but no game interests me, but then I snap out of it and do something else for a while, until I feel like gaming again. There's more to life.

Medical gameplay allow the most toxic PK behavior posted:

Step 1: Accept a revive mission

Step 2: Loot the guys you where supposed to help

Step 3: revive him

Step 4: over heal him so he fall in coma for at least 20 minutes

Step 5: get the gently caress out with the reward and all his stuff with no crime stat.

quote:

This is why you should just take the death instead of calling for a medic.

That would mean this entire new gameplay is to trash out just because of this little issue.

quote:

I don't consider staring at my screen for 20 minutes hoping a player decides to be nice to be "gameplay".

quote:

Well if those 20 minutes decide of whether or not you gonna drop all your stuff down or revive naked, while offering a nice social mission to a player I'm not opposed... on the paper at least

I'd like to know what kind of emergent gameplay somebody thinks is going to happen in a video game elevator if suddenly the elevator stops between floors and doesn't open.

I guess you... stand there? Wait until the power comes back maybe I guess at best?

Do people think there's going to be some fireman crew with crow bars jimmying open the doors between levels and holding out their hands to dynamically get players out?

Or will you just bunny hop against a corner until your character phases through the physics grid and you pop out on top of the map like a cool speed runner?


Also in terms of programming in general there's the brute force method vs doing it smart. What people are advocating here is brute force. It's like you want your Google search to take 12 hours and only return 2 results for "piano tutorial".

But you get what you want. SC tries to brute force things, mostly because I'm not sure if they know the algorithms and logic for why we don't do some things, and it all fails spectacularly. There's no benefit to any of it... it's just more broken.

You have a game that runs worse that claims to try to be space dwarf fortress but does none of it, and none of the underlying AI is anywhere outside of pretend YouTube videos where they are "considering deeply" how to achieve some goal in a game that even now runs at like 15-20 fps on gaming rigs with a maximum player count less than a fortnight match.

But I guess your elevator goes up and down because the guys programming it are dumb? And this is... good?

Buy some javelins! $1000! Punches above its weight! No it's not in game yet but consider it an NFT!

So... cheating in SC...

It's mostly relegated to Star Marine, mostly auto-aim and wall-hacks. I mean, it's a CryEngine game, and CryEngine games a rife with cheat software made for multiplayer. Clear cut competitive reasons.

Once in awhile, someone makes a cheat that works in the main SC multiplayer universe. Assigning crime stats, exploding sucker chariots, ruining immersion, basically running amuck. This is the overwhelming reason people cheat in the PU: To gently caress around with other people, because that's more interesting than playing the game as intended.

Up to this point, the only way CIG has been able to deal with cheating is anecdotal evidence submitted by people who witness the event. CIG has been exceedingly slow in developing data collection and parsing tools when it comes to abnormal player behavior.

To be fair, a vast majority of the bug reporting and data collection has been anecdotal evidence submitted by people who witness the event.

They simply don't understand that someone would still need to design and code the game in a way that would allow such 'emergent gameplay', e.g. you can create calculator in Minecraft with various elements available in-game, but someone had to code those elements first so you can toy with them. Complex or novel 'emergent gameplay' comes from simple mechanics and tools available in game. Quake devs did not expect players to use rocket jumping and thought it would be suicidal, but it is commonly used.
CIG devs are not making game that would allow such gameplay. Sure, the elevator is not just a simple teleport, but it's not done to enable new gameplay options, it's for the sake of meaningless 'fidelity' and if you step outside, you will probably just glitch and fall to death in the void or something. New 'medic' mechanics in SC allow overdosing other players, which is a good example of emergent gameplay... but whales are actually frustrated with it and I think it will be 'fixed' soon.

Fidelitious posted:

They've gotten all tangled up with what 'emergent gameplay' even means. They seem to want CIG to plan the emergent gameplay, which is missing the whole point isn't it.

Favorite SC game design/mechanic that you wish other games adopted

So, let's assume SC finishes by 2028 and it's as game changing for the industry as we expect it to be. What gameplay mechanic or game design idea that SC/SQ42 does that you'd like to see adopted by more games going forward?

quote:

It is not a gameplay mechanic but that they leave us whole games, debugged and which live up to the promises. It will not be bad already.
The releases of no man sky and Cyberpunk have been so horrible.

quote:

Actually 'intending' to finish the game before releasing it/transparent development/community interaction.

So sick of games getting teased months before they release with some prerendered cgi trailer, we might get an open beta, anything at fault is far too far along to do anything about, its released, its dead on arrival, we'll get a patch in X amount of months but then the damage is done, rinse repeat.
