It’s never going to end. This scam will be passed down through the Roberts family and from current whales to their children forever.

Hi! I could take out a second mortgage on my house but, with high interest rates that are creeping up, I think I'll invest in pictures of space ships! At least my family and children love me and I have their full support!

Oh, definitely. And if you feel old and weird now for knowing so much about what a clusterfuck Star Citizen is today, just imagine what it's going to feel like later on. Probably within ten years of it failing, we'll start to see Star Citizen show up on "Greatest Games That Were Taken Away From Us Too Early" lists, and within 20 years nobody will even question the myth that a game with so much ambition was great, and certainly wasn't just an exceptionally bad partial skeleton of a game in a hacked-together CryEngine mod. There are screenshots that prove it was all real! Nobody could just burn off $500m+ over a decade and make something that wasn't great! Meanwhile, all of us will be in our rocking chairs trying to explain space doors and Chris Roberts and the moment when we all became pretty sure that Squadron 42 updates were just being generated by a ChatGPT instance running on a computer inside the broom closet labeled "Arena Commander Team." If we're lucky, we'll die right then.

I don't foresee that future coming about except in a few select places. The broader games media has just been dunking on Star Citizen for at least the last 6 years or so. That kind of revisionism would just not work.

Give it 10 years and it will be fodder for a new generation, with youtubes like 'Gaming's Greatest Failure You've Never Heard Of' or 'The Best Game That Almost Was'

dialhforhero posted:I am really curious about this as I have a 6600 and I get 75 fps average and no hitching. It rarely drips below 60fps even in serious combat or in huge environments. The game it's a sequel to became unplayable toward the end because it was just terribly optimized. I couldn't get it to settings where it'd run and my specs were fine! Good to see the sequel didn't learn to loving optimize poo poo for PC.

If CRobber played outer wilds, he would immediate use his vast and comprehensive understanding of physics to completely cock up how everything works, from the interplanetary travel to the quantum physics puzzles to the non-Euclidean spaces. He'd then immediately need to throw out his plot to replace it with an even more complex string-theory based storyline, just to show them, and whistle gameplay. This will clearly require another 13 years to get started before the pipelines are in place, and for safety's sake, 7–8 more companies.

Aramoro posted:What a weird and wrong opinion. Outer Worlds was great. It was mediocre at the absolutely most generous you could possibly get end of the scale. A bunch of tiny maps with absolutely nothing to see off the critical path and no real decisions of any consequence throughout. Fun fact, if you decide to do something most people would usually think of as roleplaying the Worst Possible Person and play the game by killing literally every character that you possibly can, you actually lock yourself into the ‘good’ ending path because the NPC for that ending is the only thing you can’t kill along the way because they’re always shut away out of reach.

Now that you mention it he would probably complain that you can’t « swim » in space and that the ride to your ship is way too short to be immersive. 0/10 (I did mean Outer Wilds)

My two main memories of Outer Worlds is ending up with so much ammo I physically couldn't use it faster than I was getting it before I even hit the halfway point and the vast majority of perks being really basic stat buffs so by the end of the game I honestly didn't give a poo poo about leveling up because there was nothing exciting to get.

I remember being so bored by the characters and story I was skipping through all of it to get to the combat, but the combat was also very boring and so sparse that I just stopped

Outer Worlds is Fine. Like, aggressively fine. I think a lot of the disappointment around it was magnified by it being very much not a Fallout: New Vegas followup despite expectations that it would be. And look at it, it looks like Fallout in Space. But even taken on its own merits or compared against other games in the immersive sim genre, it's just Okay. In fact I'd even say the core controversy around the game is related to whether or not you even consider it an immersive sim considering it's linearity. Some people called it an adventure game wearing an immersive sim costume and that seems very on brand for the game.

Outer Worlds made me motion sick and I had to stop playing within 1-2 missions. For some reason this happens to me with all Bethesda games. I don't generally have issues with motion sickness and I play a ton of games, but Bethesda games make me sick to my stomach. Not sure why.

Have you tried playing through it? All smooth scrolling first person games make me nauseous. So one sadbrains day I was thinking of becoming bulimic and thought this would be a cool shortcut and fired up Amnesia: The Dark Descent, a game I'd never been able to play for more than 20 minutes due to nausea. Only made me barf once. After that it never made me nauseous again.  Your brain can learn that the mismatch between your eyes and inner ear doesn't mean you're poisoned.

There’s also that distinctive Bethesda style of art that makes it seem like their understanding of what a human looks comes from third hand information. I don’t know exactly what it is but you know it when you see it…
