Last of Us PC port is bad, therefore Star Citizen is good.

Aqua Seafoam Shame posted:Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene hawking an Earth-sized Second Life on the pages of PC Gamer. Listen to him echo the Crobbler here: I mean, that stuff is still more reasonable than the stuff people have been saying Star Citizen will be coming out with. "Your village gets AI helpers to help automate mundane tasks no one wants to do" and having fake wildlife that can accidentally explode in numbers are things we've seen (or heard horror stories of from development of older games). Sure the last line about wanting to live in a real environment has some serious "go outside and touch grass" energy, but hey, people like survival Sims.

Yeah it’s not that egregious compared to most virtual world dreams.txt, and it seems like he has the resources to pull of some version of it. But it feels like it’s just going to turn into another open world survival/crafting snooze fest. At this point whenever I see an article like this plastered with screenshots of proc-gen forests, my mind just shuts down.

The thing is you can make that sort of game interesting, but you have to you know have more features other than just big + generically realistic. Look at Dwarf fortress! Absolutely crazy list of features and doable things, but you know there is actual thought put into those features and how they interact with each other and the player, so it actually has heaps of personality because of it. For me honestly the brokenness isn't the worst part of Star Citizen, it's the total lack of personality to it.

It helps that Dwarf Fortress breaking spectacularly is practically the point of the game.

Dwarf Fortress works because it's single player so you can feasibly manage your forts plethora of items/boulders. Star Citizens are built different so this isn't a problem in an MMO.

Yeah, I mean I guess I just wish people had a bit of self-awareness when they go the route of creating open-world survival. Just a, "we know this is a difficult genre full of expensive misfires, but we're going to learn from past mistakes" kind of thing. VR didn't start getting better until people acknowledged that 99% of what's out there in terms of tech and applications, present and historic, is bullshit. Even then VR still isn't all that great. But it's better.

Aqua Seafoam Shame posted:"I see us having AI helpers in the game," he says. "You [could] have a wood chopper, or a scientist, or a metal worker that you can show where the forest is. And then they go and run back and forth and get you wood. And maybe the more players you get in your civilization or your village, the town grows, the borders grow, you get more AI, this kind of fostering community, right? And I'm trying to see if we can do something like a massive life game mode." He's making Age of Empires... ?

A nice little sinecure as a reward for all the grueling, non-stop work she put in as the Best VP of Marketing Ever. Chris pops up very briefly, doing and saying very little, but at a guess he's still elbow-deep in yelling at people to bring more fidelity to the mess hall scene while flop-sweating through his black turtlenecks. Erin's probably still super-busy splitting his time between stress-eating and slowly deskeletonizing. Tony Z probably caught his reflection in a mirror in 2021 and is still talking to himself about his deep thoughts. I think Brian Chambers got sent on the Asian fundraising expedition/booze cruise a while back, so that's at least one of the usual suspects that's been seen in the wild, although if you told me he passed away tragically eight years ago and has just been haunting his own body, it would explain a lot.

That people are still trying to push NFTs and new coins is hilarious. Montoya reeks of someone who bought in big to Crypto/NFTs right before the crash, and now he’s trying to recoup some of his money. He seems to hope that his new shticoin gets adopted by a ton of Star Citizen streamers, and then eventually gets so popular that it has a decent dollar value that he can cash in. Implicit in all of that is his feverish belief that Star Citizen is the next big thing, and as the leader of the game’s biggest guild, he’ll be capitulated into being a big deal some day. It’s all bs, but it’s the sort of magical thinking that you need if you’re going to squat in a broken tech demo for 11+ years. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Mar 31, 2023 |

We all predicted that PES would be a giant self-own that would just break the game in new ways. And we all know where it’s going. After a few more years, millions of dollars and untold man hours, they’ll just introduce some culling feature that will start removing objects when the local count hits 100. They’ll call it dynamic entity streaming or some poo poo, and Piss Cat will write a wall of text about how it’s a massive technical triumph.

My friends invited me to play SC this morning and it wasn't too bad. We went to some big cave on a desert planet and killed some guys. Then we did a mission on the cloud city planet but one of the NPCs spawn in a wall and we couldn't kill him by clipping through, or grenades, or sniper rifles, we even tried pushing one person through the wall by ramming them into it with the nose of a ship, but we just gave up and logged off because it looked like there would be no way to finish the mission. Great poo poo, Crobberts

One day Star Citizen was walking in the forest and it found the magical content fairy. Star citizen said hello to the magic content and the magical content fairy said hello back and told Star citizen that it could grant it one wish! Star Citizen used it one wish to wish for infinite content! The content fairy said done! It than gave them a magical seed which they planted in the middle of the office, and from that seed a large content tree grew, laden with magical content fruit, and they found no matter how much content fruit they took from the content tree there was always more. And they lived happily ever after. The end! In short I wish I had a magical infinite content tree like star citizen. Would make life so much easier.
