Next time somebody tells you to grow some balls or have bigger balls or don't be a pussy or something, remember it!

Dwesa posted:'making GBS threads on other games to feel better about your vapoware' never fails to appease backers. I wonder why they never compare with e.g. X4 or NMS, games that were notably improved after previous failures. sure, CI X4 has everything star citizen wants to have already, including talking to NPCs, walking around your ships, handing the micro and macro, full working economy... etc etc. you can also mod it, and you only buy it once (unless you also want the dlc they put out regularly too) From a studio not even near the size of cig at not even a fraction of the time it's taken so to continue to fail. You probably need to be careful who you choose to compare yourself too. ED is a safe bet because it's pretty boring despite being a technological wonder for how old it is at this point. The modules they put out are meh at best. I don't think anybody can look at sc and X4 and say sc is better, other than it has graphics that make the game turn into a slideshow whereas X4 generally chugs along pretty well for the most part, while simulating all the movers and shakers in their universe AI. It has the euro-jankiness to it, but it works and does what it's supposed to do and is a much better experience. X4 is what sc hopes to become... maybe in 20 more years they'll get there.

I am one of the few who actually liked NMS when it released because I never paid attention to the sizzle reels and promises that didn't make it in. It was pretty, interesting and had a cool game loop.

My favorite part of that game is the first 30 minutes, where you're dumped in a hostile environment and have that pressure on you to stay alive long enough to fix a ship and escape. After that I always bounce off it. I did play long enough to get to the center or whatever you did, misplaced all my bases, had a bunch of ships I never used, had a carrier or whatever, got a bunch of money I never spent, all that poo poo. I really liked that opening though, I'd play a game that was just that.

The Titanic posted:X4 has everything star citizen wants to have already... i hate that i disagree with you X4 is, unlike SC, a game you can actually play and have fun in. it's way deeper than SC, has more content etc. but it's not at all like SC. SC wants to be 3 games: an FPS shooter, a spaceship game, and an open-world AAA 2010s/2020s game (think The Ubisoft Formula, or any AAA game in the last 10 years or so, open world games with lots of different filler stuff you can do) X is more like a cRPG, and SC can't even dream of doing that. SC has way more low level detail/interactivity than X4. X4 ships are just bland models you get inside of and fly around. you can't ~press buttons~ and stuff in X4 ships, stuff that's essential for The Best drat Space Sim Ever, obviously. that said if Ego had 500 million to burn on a X game, i'm sure that they could get pretty close to SC, but it'd never be the same level of detail (and feature creep)

Rotten Red Rod posted:Try Subnautica. Yeah I already finished both of those. I understand there's a crazy new space game that's in perpetual pre-alpha but also is better than a dozen AAAA games, and it leans heavily into survival mechanics in a fidelitious way, for example, you can spontaneously die of hemorrhoids while waiting for a train.

Gravity_Storm posted:Within a week they will throw the dude who posted the message under the bus and promise a new improved roadmap. To celebrate, there will be a special sale with 2 new ships, the Banu Merchantman Stealth Edition and the Javelin Plus. I always have appreciation for how cig can quell angry people over lack of progress for gameplay and anger about selling stuff with a well placed Chris post and immediate followed by another purchase opportunity.  It's like nobody realizes none of the reasons they were angry were resolved, and one of those actions is usually exactly why they were angry in the first place. This addiction to blowing money is super powerful. I love me some Amazon... but I wouldn't just be spending money on Amazon to not get something in return. That whole "get what I paid for" bit is kind of important.

The Titanic posted:I always have appreciation for how cig can quell angry people... To be fair CIG does poo poo all about it, it's their own customers who do all the work. It's always the same story: There is some large outrage, lots of backers come out to say they are done and then, a couple of days -when things are a bit more quiet- the shills come back in full force to explain why it's the backers fault for being idiots who don't understand game development. It happens twice a year or so.

marumaru posted:i hate that i disagree with you You can always disagree with me. I'm fine with it! And you are correct! I am boiling SC down to only one of the singular things it wants to do, but I always need to remember that it wants to be everything except like a turn based strategy game, a visual novel, or a hentai game. Everything else is totally definitely going to be in the game. And of course, Egosoft doesn't have a fraction of the money and resources cig has, so your results will vary. That eurojank kicking into overdrive. I'd be curious though what Egosoft could do if they had that kind of funding though.

FishMcCool posted:The Sims (2000), or I guess Ultima VII (1994) have implemented bar/inn staff dynamically reacting to conditions, but then they 1) knew what their game what about and 2) didn't have CR running the show so it's probably an unfair comparison. I'm pretty sure I recall Ultima 6 having schedules as well. One of the Easter eggs actually involves being able to kill Lord British in his sleep with a glass sword. https://youtu.be/B92kSzaRPEs We're talking like, 1990 here.

redwalrus posted:"You might end up somewhere where there is nothing, there are no people, there is nothing on the planet, and you'll need fuel." Uhhh screenshots? Hello, did you forget the one paramount feature of star citizen? You go and find some generated landscape, wait for sunset/sunrise, capture it and post to people how you love drinking your morning coffee to the visuals while planning your next big route and it is the best game ever. This is like one of the core features.

What he's saying is that he finds hilarious how while people are supposed to be angry with CIG they are still buying more ships, because there is a sale going on. Just like how them women were angry about big fake boobs but then the doctor was like "Oh yeah? big boobs for SALE" and they all got the most gargantuan boobs they could fit.

Ultima V had NPCs on schedules, as well (and Chris worked on that one). Every single NPC did their own things during the day and night, whether it was sleeping, having secret meetings or whatever. And that was 1988. Sure, maybe they didn't have the amazing AI and full life simulations that Tony Z helped the backers to imagine, but neither do the NPCs in SC.

I went from 4 being the first I played, to 6. I tried to get into 5 after playing 6 but the graphics kept me from enjoying it because I really liked 6's looks.

Watching NPC's work posted:When I was a kid and even sometimes now as an adult I love watching construction or big vehicles working on say building a highway or drilling for ore. I'm not sure how detailed they lives of NPCs will be but I'm hoping one day you can fly around an asteroid and find an NPC orion digging. Being able to watch it mine until it's full and maybe even follow it back to its base to deposit the ore I think would be amazing.
