4th Stimpire Queen posted:Ships bought ingame aren't real.  theory: CIG actually does tweak the stats of ships that players actually buy to make them slightly OP in some way, incentivizing people to buy more. Yeah, I know it's 99.999% a placebo effect, but some lizard part of my brain is telling me it's plausible.

Oh wow  "It's like Star Wars, but you're able to live it all through a game. Sure, nothing of this is in SC currently, but with SQ42 we will get to see the first bit" "I believe with the utmost belief that Star Citizen is the first breath of a Star Wars-like franchise in game format." Indeed, apart from the small detail that nothing is in game SC is totally a huge game, the platform for a franchise, a game with 100 solar systems with people, stories and events, CIG will totally produce many complementary more story games. Do you see the potential? Do you believe with the utmost belief?  Why do all these specimens come out during the weekend, when no one is around to se the great stuff I find for you guys? So sad.

Like people think that Harry Potter was a big cultural force, it's a whole order of magnitude lower than the above 2. The world from Broken Earth is great but no franchise came out of that. And for a more white-guy sourced world, consider Malazan Book of the Fallen. Incredibly thorough world with innovative ideas and it's just books. I think you're right though, they just seem to be blown away by the idea of a fleshed-out story in a game, or 3-d models that it's just ground breaking to them.

Going back even further I remember playing on one of those Pong clones in the late 70s when i was four years old and being amazed that I was controlling something on the telly. I don't get that same sense of wonder watching someone t-pose then fall through the floor. skyelevator fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Jan 15, 2023 |

Nonbeliever citizen posts "AI looks bad because server performance" AI with 30 server fps : https://v.redd.it/75p24tc3o6ca1/DASH_1080.mp4 Desperate believers respond : quote:I'll go out on a limb and say server FPS is probably not the only factor in how well the AI perform. quote:AI is not prioritized higher than many other server threads too. It’s a lot more complex than just the fps value. quote:think OP just wanted to complain so they're pretending the average server FPS (an FPS report weighted by historical performance) around 30 is the current server FPS. quote:It's almost as if the game is still in development and the focus is on the build of other more foundational features.

SC is still more lethal than CoD! https://v.redd.it/77thv2e6z3ca1/DASH_1080.mp4 Advice from citizens below: quote:Rushing is actually the best way to not get shot, because NPCs can't hit moving targets. quote:Staying still on one spot is the worst thing to do. They cannot hit you as long as you are moving. quote:easiest thing to do is just don't stop moving. I haven't even been shot yet and I've probably done 20 of these runs Quanta AI NPCs can't hit moving targets  I also want to add, SC prides itself as this realistic, immersive sim game that's totally skill based only to have hit markers like any FPS plebs game..go figure.

In this allegory the barkeeper actually first learns how to create their own glasses and shakers from raw materials and after 10 years, only two glasses are done and the barkeeper only knows one drink and ice is just chilly water cause it's tier 0 and they haven't gotten the freezing process right cause they had to invent the fridge. Each drink is 450 bucks, tho.

4th Stimpire Queen posted:Nonbeliever citizen posts "AI looks bad because server performance" AI with 30 server fps : Anyone claiming ai is not a foundational feature doesn't know what they're saying.  I think it's a safe bet that, like all things cig does, ai will be developed in its own vacuum and work in certain parts of the game differently than others. It will also barely function, and probably people believing that it's not working due to server tick rates aren't seeing the back end of the server where it's spitting out an endless stream of errors.

I can't believe you fudsters doubted CIG.

I can't believe citizens didn't notice this sooner, they've been taking screenshots of sunsets for like 8 years

You may not like it, but this is what peak gameplay looks like https://twitter.com/LittleJackPlayz/status/1614308523948609536  And now some actual  EPIC fight - shooting a sitting duck until it suddenly disappears without a trace. $500 million BDSSE, baby  https://v.redd.it/fynsg9vsp7ca1/DASH_480.mp4 If this was in E:D, that big ship would have to be already disabled to be so motionless and passive.

I always enjoy the dimorphism between graphics and gameplay and how the gameplay is super duper levels of not even a shareware title. I'm glad people are happy that if they can zoom in on a barcode on an air duct vent in the level set, that it makes up for the fact the actual game part of the game is rather broken and barely functional and full of bad decisions. That's a special market cig has, I hope they are selling that mailing list at a premium cost.

Hey guys, who wants to become friends with Star Citizen NPCs and maybe gently caress them too? Raise your hands! From: BETTER AI SYSTEM WITH INTERACTION WITH NPC (for those not browsing Spectrum regularly, and I dont blame you, using ChatGPT to make NPCs and missions more varied and believable is the new great idea backers came up with)
