Tend to agree. I had it for free and I think I stopped after one mission and a few gos in the multiplayer.
Just tedious.

Steamcharts says it has generally 100-200 players online at any given point.

Squadrons not getting more multiplayer types or having a conquest map a la Helldivers or even a general "empire's point value vs rebel's point values" system is a major let down. Having an overarching meta would have given it a little more sticking power I think. It definitely could have been better.

I just still think that this genre, which I do really love, is ultimately niche enough to scoff at PC's claim that microsoft would gladly pay hundreds of millions of dollars to get not even Star Citizen proper but Arena Commander is laughable.

I think the problem with the genre is that it seems every developer thinks a space game has to be some huge everything sandbox game that is walking, flying, station interiors, ship interiors, new planets, aliens, etc.

While one day I believe The Dream space game will come true, they seem to ignore that a space game can sometimes just be a space game. A space shooter, if you will.

Squadrons was a great example of having a decent narrative experience with the customization you expect from a �shooter� without trying to make it so massive.

In fact, its only real negative is really that multiplayer is so limited and gets stale pretty quickly. If they would have released DLC campaigns or expanded MP or made it so you could make your own battles like you could in XWA and XvTIE, it would still be sufficiently �alive� today. Well, maybe also because it is based in the sequel timeline, but only in a minor way.

The game was just a passion project anyway. You can tell. And it was lucky to get a green light. Game is awesome, otherwise.

Imagine if you could have had a version of DCS or IL-2 or whatever (I am talking customization, map making, campaign building) in Star Wars. Would be absolute tits.

Don�t literally mean DCS or IL-2, I mean something like how you can build really neat and detailed missions in DCS and you can make cool dynamic campaigns in IL-2. The fidelity of the mission creators are impressive.

MODDING DCS to make it a space game would be a nightmare, on top of the incredible amount of time just spent on art/modeling.

I think the general mistake that a lot of people make is that "Space" is not a genre. It's just a setting, and a pretty bland setting at that. Setting out to make a space game is a terrible idea.

Shockingly, space is mostly empty nothingness and it doesn't add much to a game to fly around in it endlessly. If it did we would have already had a lot of games where you sail across the ocean in realtime while nothing much happens.
You've got to actually do something with the setting like Homeworld with the 3d fleet battles or whatever it is about Eve that makes people want to play it.

Mirificus: Oct 29, 2004; Kings need not raise their voices to be heard

quote:

OK. This is CIG's problem - they aren't making a game like any other. Those who don't understand, that won't accept it... you see it's a Catch 22. Can't accept, won't accept, can't understand, won't understand. No answer will satisfy because they just won't believe it. When some try to explain it they think you're an idiot.

Implicit in the 'when' is the 'how much'. How much is it different to other games? If that difference is significant it is impossible to compare development time to other games. Squadron 42 is way more full of stuff than anything anyone has ever seen... it doesn't tell you much to say that though.

Implicit in the 'when' is 'how big'. How much bigger is the game in terms of gameplay content and play area than other games? You have to really drill down into the features list to even get an idea, and there are lots of features that aren't on the roadmap or mentioned explicitly in any CIG output since 2015. For example, you know about the simpods, you know that they are used for military training and performance evaluation post mission... but what very few realise is, they are also used for in-game entertainment. Arena Commander is in Squadron 42, and more than what the current Arena Commander has. The Spectrum is in Squadron 42 and it's full of stuff, it's your window into the game universe that has things constantly going on. You might think to yourself, why did they write a story about 2 female characters, engage voice actors, make a 15 minute cinematic video just to sell a ship they don't even mention by name? They didn't. That's not what it is for. Why do they have the writers spending time writing a story about 3 children in 'A gift for Baba'? If the priority is Squadron 42 and getting the game finished?

If you stop and think about why they put arcade machines in the game, why there are simpods in the game, what all that entertainment and lore is about a realisation should occur - it's obviously not the case that you are rushing mission to mission with at best a 3D environment as a virtually un-interactable wait screen until you choose your next mission, like a Call of Duty Infinite Warfare.

There is a line included in the post above:

quote:
Guards can now check your record in SC and SQ42 when implemented, can address your criminal record, rank, and how far you progressed in SQ42, depending on your choices they can salute you, allow/deny access, or hound you like a "mall cop".

You play the same character, if you choose to, in Star Citizen that you created in Squadron 42. The two games are inter-connected, the experience of Squadron 42 will be reflected in your experience of the PU. What you do in Squadron 42 matters to your experience in Star Citizen, and it isn't just a case of unlocking a few in-game items, or how the NPC's address you, it's far reaching.

In both games you have a complete player history log, if you play Squadron 42 your military history log and 'collectibles' goes with you when you retire to the PU. They know you, Squadron 42 exploits are famous, they know what you did. Some AI in Star Citizen may think you are a hero, some may think you are a UEE scumbag sent to oppress them.

The same political structures, social structures and military structures are in both games, the same places, some of the same factions and even some of the same characters. As well as your rank in Squadron 42 there are things you can unlock which give you access to things in the PU those who didn't play Squadron 42 either won't have access to, or will have to work much harder to attain. There is no way to be 'ex-military' in the PU without starting Squadron 42.

quote:
AI features- AI will react to how players complete a mission, such as when you play it safe or when you flex and show off. NPCs and the story will change depending on how you play the game, not just the choices. If you do a mission and eliminate few enemies and play it safe, it will have consequences same as when you speedrun a mission.

He keeps asking how is it that Zyloh could say that he played the missions for Squadron 42? It's because there isn't one linear path, you have objectives, but you choose how you achieve those objectives within the time allotted, so each chapter, mission etc is built as a layer cake, the essentials go in first - minimal blockout, then they come back and add another layer and another, all the while refining and refining. That's why it seems they keep returning to the same things over and over.

The game is about characters, who you interact with, how you interact with them, who you choose to take sides with, who you choose to call friends, you will have choices to make that directly affect your relationships with those characters - it all affects how the game unfolds for you. Yes the main story plot points happen at their time, but how you experience them depends on you. If you simply follow orders to the letter you'll experience the game one way, if you go in squared jawed Roger-Ramjet style you'll experience a different game, if you go sleuthing around James Bond style you'll experience the game another way.

The chapters are blocks of time which are punctuated by key events you can't fast forward, you can't jump back you can only pause time when you exit the game (and probably while in the simpod), they aren't simply a chain of events you trigger when you're ready like other role play action games. Things happen in 'game time', you have time off duty. That's what all the entertainment stuff is about. That's what all the AI work is about, they aren't background activity to make the game seem alive while you compete in your missions - Go kill!, they are the game. They are the reason you're there.

There are optional side-quests and missions, and whether or how you do those affects your progress in the whole campaign and your history log. No two players will have exactly the same game experience of Squadron 42. Once you have made your choice about what you want to do in Squadron 42 that choice is now locked, you can't go back and test all the other choices. If you rush through mission objectives you're going to miss things, things that affect what happens later down the line, and even in the PU. The only way to check all options is to start the whole game again from the very beginning with a brand new character again and again and again, because you are under a time constraint for your objectives you can't do everything.

Zyloh has access to the console, which means he can jump from point to point to test the basics, the skeleton as it were in a virtually greybox environment.

When the OP talks about, this is where you start the game, your home ship when they talk about chapters 1- 5 that's misleading. You don't start Squadron 42 as a UEEN pilot, but you are a UEEN pilot by chapter 4 (the vertical slice mission). Your 'home' changes throughout the game. We already know this from information already given, but you have to pay attention to catch it.

"I see you've applied to the flight academy again" - Why would an existing navy pilot apply to the flight academy?

'Cal is my wingman'. The game is called Squadron 42. Squadron 42 are not based aboard the Stanton. Squadron 42 fly F8A Lightnings, Idrises don't carry F8A's, only Bengals or bigger.

When people ask about 'when' the game will be ready they aren't taking into account that Squadron 42 is not an on rails 'tunnel type' game. It is a game universe where you have objectives that say be here, at a certain time to achieve your objective. It is being built as a living breathing universe, all the characters, social structures, places and infrastructure of that game universe are in Squadron 42. Things you'll be spending time doing don't necessarily relate to 'missions', but they will form a large part of your game experience. The Spectrum for example. It's the internet in the game universe, and it's nothing like the GTA V version of an in-game internet.

Squadron 42 will be the first taste of that living breathing fully fleshed out universe that is coming to Star Citizen, it will completely change how players experience the game universe. How they make decisions, how they go about things, how they make choices, how they inform themselves, it's the why of being there, who they are in a game universe full of totally unique characters all living their lives, with their own story to tell. Your relationship builds with those characters the more time you put into it, that's why they keep saying, there are no background characters in Squadron 42 (it's not strictly true, there are crowds, there are AI you won't be able to delve into). There are more characters to engage with than any 50 AAA games combined.

There is more gameplay in one chapter of Squadron 42 than most AAA games have in a whole game and there is far too much to do in that game universe than you could possibly get through in one playthrough. It's so big, detailed and fully immersive it beggars description, but they won't tell you because to do so gives away too much they don't want spoiled, but it's there. All those lore posts, all those events, sporting calendar, all those holidays, all those characters from Imperator, media personalities, crewmates and on down to baristas and barman... all in that game universe and they've only shown a small sample of it all.

If you ask any of the dev team about the experience of Squadron 42 the word they keep returning to is - first they sigh, look up to the ceiling then they say 'It's massive'... and these guy know more about all games than you can shake a stick at.

I like how he's going on and on about how if you do a few things in s42 it will change things in SC and how unimaginable difficult this is.

lol, they've been plenty of games with single player and mutiplayer where you can get some reward in one and it carries on to another, and there are plenty of games who have let you take your charcter from the first game and play them in the sequel. Like this isn't some huge never before done achievement. Completed a flying missions in s42, okay lets just set that completed_s42_fly1 value to true and add an random NPC bark "oh wow heard your a great pilot!" and done!

Like if it's included at all I doubt the reactivity would be more than that. Like if done well -a big if- that sort of stuff can be very reward but it's not like this is some crazy never done before thing that requires completely re-engineering everything currently done in gaming.

Well, it took me over four hours, on and off, but I finally forced all of that indigestible slab of nonsense past my mind-gullet and, after all, I have to say it was easier to follow than most of his novels - perhaps because it's a bit more focused.

However, even I, as a SC neophyte, can note that it's not just every sentence that contains something egregiously specious, but every clause too. An SC scholar could take it apart from beginning to end and throw it out: nope; wrong; wronger; not proven; impossible; not seen any evidence of this assertion; obvious fabrication, basically insulting to the intelligence that anyone is supposed to believe this utter tripe; nooooooooope; irrelevant; literally impossible; this bit will never work and be abandoned, if it's even real (clue: it isn't); written lore is fake depth; this bit has already been abandoned; noooooooooooooooooope; this doesn't matter in any way; who cares; that's basically the least they could do and they will fail at that too; this will collapse in chaos on day one.

What does he get out of this? I mean, I know I'm wasting my time (that's the point), but I get some entertainment from the :psyduck:

Also, someone disbelieving you, since you present no evidence anyway, is not a Catch-22.

I think he believes a lot of it (because if this whole debacle has demonstrated anything, it's that there are some really, really intense delusions among Star Citizen fans), but there's always a little nagging part of my brain that wants to believe that anyone capable of even barely functioning in society can't believe all of that nonsense, and that there's some desperate corner of his mind that thinks if he can sell the scam even harder than CIG does ("Microsoft would love to buy Arena Commander," lol), then more people will throw money at Star Citizen and someday it will be finished and good and he won't have been so very, very wrong about believing in it.

Because the one thing I genuinely believe he is absolutely consciously lying about is that he's just happy to have been able to help fund such an ambitious "research project" indefinitely, even if it results in abject failure and no games being produced. He's claimed that many, many times, and it's always bracketed with the craziest "facts" about how awesome Star Citizen will be/is/has always been, and it never sounds even remotely sincere. This dude needs CIG's day of reckoning to be postponed indefinitely even more than Chris does.

In retrospect, his rhetoric is indistinguishable from the meme stock dead-enders on reddit who still earnestly believe that their cancelled BBBYQ shares are going to make them millionaires.

I skimmed over it because no one should read that whole thing. It's kind of like the heydays of QAnon where (insane) people were dissecting everything any public figure said to find the secret hidden messages in their speeches or whatever.
We all ask ourselves "Why did they do X?" or "What possible reason is there for Y?"

The difference is that he answers by imagining extremely complex scenarios where everything is done for a genius reason and that it's all implicitly leading to some amazing features and tech.
Whereas we answer by pointing out the obvious, that it's because Chris Roberts is a gigantic micro-managing moron who has little idea what he's doing except for grifting money so that he can continue the grand tradition of cinematics-driven 90s games with the opportunity to direct film-adjacent things.
