I honestly cannot look at any of CIGs art or watch Star Citizen videos anymore and not hear White Lines because of Major Toms video. Mother loving Grandmaster Flash.

As a metagamer I think these videos actually make the game look fun, though not in the sense its creators intended.

That's what we call emergent gameplay :smuggo:

I don't think so. Reddit posts calling it a lie to sell more ships are getting dozens of upvotes, while the true cultists are being shouted down.

I think /r/starcitizen is getting more and more hostile to Roberts and skeptical of the game ever getting completed. Pretty soon we'll start seeing posts like "can we have a subreddit for people that actually LIKE the game and are optimistic?" And maybe it even gets made. I think that's the tipping point for backer opinion and fundingl truly bottoming out.

Yeah he talks about using a 20% coupon but doesn't mention that it caps out at $100 and you had to pay $240 for a years "subscription" to get it.

Unless he works there which I doubt because if he did he wouldn't be so keen to buy ships that will never exist in any form like the $2500 Javelin ($100 off or not).

Citizens will flip their poo poo I think if they don't get something good this year. They've never going to get anything good so CIG's best bet is to go quiet while hoping people forget they gave thousands so some idiot could shop for furniture & play movie director with Golem, Luke Skywalker and the girl from the x-files.

Turns out, using an engine that isn't complete dogshit and not blowing your scope out the arse means you can actually deliver on a game. Wow, gently caress me, had no idea.

I'm looking forward to this fact.

They could always blah blah about stuff like CoD:IW or Mass Effect with publisher power and the same engine they've worked on for years...

But really, what exactly is the combat piece against Hellion? Another indie team... just had a plan and stuck to it and kept within their scope.

I'm sorry Chris Roberts can't complete with the managerial talent of some indie game devs? I'm sorry the multinational company with >300 staff can't hope to compare to some small indie team that probably isn't even in more than a couple rooms much less multiple buildings spread across the world?

Hellion being successful is or should shine a huge spotlight on CIG and exactly wtf they are doing. Hopefully this will help people ask questions and start to wake the hell up.

I don't know about cannibalizing. 300 bucks is an absurd amount to pay for a ship. But if you found one on the grey market for 250, well that's a steal and you better buy it before someone else does! It's like buying on sale vs paying full retail price. Either way the store makes money, the sales ticker gets the full retail price, and the sales are an incentive to splurge. Plus, gifted/transferred ships can't be refunded! There is probably a term or condition on the employees that tell them that they can't get refunds on discounted sales as well.

Easy for them to be successful when Chris already did all the work to develop Items, Local Grids and Persistence. Is it any wonder they were able to simulate atmosphere and decompression while CIG is still struggling with naked commandos and nipple jets when all the hard work was already done?

That's my understanding too. They've apparently discovered that clipping and culling are things you need to take care of in a polygon-based game. Who'd'a thunk it.
But of course, now they have this new, unprecedented clothing tech to deal with that, which most definitely has not been part of the engine or the hardware since the turn of the century.

I'm sure it helps not having to redo everything a dozen times over because something is slightly off compared to the dream your thumb of a boss had last night.

Part of this lack of progress can be attributed to the talent pool of programmers basically being non existent.

Chris doesn't realize that movies and artwork don't make a game happen by magical elves. He thinks that ideas just need some easy code applied to them.

Ideas are hard, guys. :colbert:

You're a moron who knows as much about the law, as you do about iron-clad ToS

Pay attention; you might learn something:

- I lost my legal standing when they refunded me. So I no longer have any cause of action for which to sue under the ToS

- I can sue them for only two things i) accusing me of stalking and threatening me with criminal action ii) defamation as per croberts Oct 2015 diatribe

I have opted not to sue them at this time because, unlike morons on the Internet and movie super-villains, smart people like me always have a plan that we tend not to broadcast.

But don't worry though; when the time comes, you'll know. I guarantee it.


In case you hadn't noticed; I don't even have to lift a finger, and CIG is in full blown E.L.E. mode all on their own. It's only a matter of time now.
