You registered 61 days ago. You have two posts on Something Awful in total, both today, both attacking G0RF over Mass Effect: Andromeda.



What is the question? Did you not think that ME:A held up to the hype? For me, it did. It looks awesome. Very, very brief glimpses of what look like gameplay in between cutscene style stuff. Coupled with the other trailer I'm still really optimistic.

Inkel posted:

Was it the huge showcase that many of us were looking for? No. Was what was shown better than anything CIG has ever released? Yes.

So what kind of answer exactly are you expecting from him?

G0RF posted:

You do have to admit-- this looks pretty cool, Lazrin. Can we agree on that much?


Oh man, I'm as touched as I am terrified!

It took a friend of mine getting fired and me getting banned in order to really break the illusion that things weren't utterly and completely hosed. And this is after years of delays, patronizing comments, failed expectations, and general stupidity on the part of CIG. Hell the reason I even paid attention to Smart was because I genuinely thought that his antics would at least shake things up enough for CIG to change. Obviously that hasn't happened, it never will happen, and with the latest TOS I'm convinced that CIG knows they're hosed as well.

They did you dumb gently caress. And then they gave him all the attention he could possibly want.

I like him too i was countering that we view him as some sort of leader. Which we dont really. Hes a quirky dude who gets inside info on occasion

A good mod too

Given he has been talking about this for a year, gaming press suddenly giving each other credit for it is a bit lovely. As you've only mentioned credit and not the content of the article I assume you are admitting that DEREK SMART IS RIGHT?

I have heard this exact thing from people trying to get into the housing market in 2007-2008.

Here's the thing MoMA this has had proof of collapse. The red flags are all there and you're praying the Stimperor really does have invisible clothes. Then you start telling other people how invisible clothes would be tehnically possible while we all laugh.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

You don't know this. You're trying to convince yourself that it's true, and that your speculation is fact, but in reality you have nothing but wishful thinking behind you.

TTerrible posted:

There are people reading and posting in this thread that have seen 100% incontrovertible, iron clad proof that Star Citizen and Squadron 42 are completely hosed and are never being released as pitched.

MoMA, you can believe or disbelieve the above statement but you've been warned.

We make fun of Derek as much as anywhere else, we just do it in a good natured way and are cool with him. We don't have to pretend he is some kind of Arch Demon to dispel our doubts in a deluded fantasy world that will never happen.

We were also having public callouts in GBS about Star Citizen years before Derek got involved, But yeah the people that invented making fun of Derek Smart are somehow spellbound by his presence.

OR, hypothetically, work with me here bro, Star Citizen is deserving of being mocked and people don't really have to have a reason other than Star Citizen itself to mock it?

How mad must you be at an internet Warlord to constantly post about how he's some venerable leader of the people?


Have you tried yoga, Lazrin?

Jobbo_Fett posted:

If George Bush Jr., someone completely irrelevant to the videogaming world, called the "end times" for CIG, would that really matter if it came true?


All you seem to do, Lazrin, is attack the messenger and not the message.



And that speaks volumes.

TTerrible posted:

That people should get refunds and the people who ran the scam shouldn't get away with it. Not to speak for DS.


Derek put some stuff out last night that was proved true this morning. I don't know what else you want. We can go back through the big list of predictions that have come true if it helps.


Ah so to anyone with eyes its obvious the entire thing is a scam that is never coming out? Why are you defending that scam?


99% of goons are concerned with how loving funny this entire thing is. Thankyou for doing your part to amuse us.


Ok user that has registered to defend Star Citziens honour.

A Neurotic Jew posted:

this is so great, thank you for posting here, we have fewer and fewer interactions like this these days.

Maybe it would help you to understand that this thread has been around long before Derek entered the ring. We've been laughing at Star Citizen way before it was the cool thing to do. Derek could be completely full of poo poo and it would still be funny that he's waging war against CIG and winning. People lose their goddamned minds because of this guy. We're here for entertainment. I'm sure you can figure the rest out. The fact that he happens to be right is a nice bonus.

We're not at all concerned with whether you piss away your money. In fact, please continue to do so, as that is also funny. It is however a good feeling knowing that our shitposts about star citizen might prevent unwitting people, who aren't zealots like yourself, from giving money to a scam.

What do you make of them promising to issue a refund, closing a person's account, then not issuing a refund?

Jobbo_Fett posted:

Chris said: We're done filming!


Derek said: Nah, they've got reshoots coming up real soon


Mark tweets: poo poo, gotta do some reshoots. *sadface*




Shill thinks: PURELY COINCIDENCE, SURELY!

Jobbo_Fett posted:

You literally aren't capable of grasping the concept of Derek calling something out publicly before its made public.


If Derek had made a called shot on reshoots, and then it didn't happen, you'd have something to argue about. Alas, 'tis not the case.

A Neurotic Jew posted:

Derek Smart is winning because every single day it becomes more and more apparent that CIG will not deliver on their promises. The narrative of CIG being capable of producing AAA work, or any game for that matter, is being systematically disassembled before our eyes. Of course Derek didn't have to lift a finger for that to be the case; it was inevitable regardless of what he did. But he's been attacked since day one for saying that CIG's pitch was impossible, and he's right. Derek wins.

Evil_Greven posted:

They told the Better Business Bureau that they closed this person's account and issued a refund.
They told PayPal that they had shipped merchandise to the person (tracking numbers!), so they had no reason to issue a refund.

Now the person has a closed account and has not received a refund.

Maw posted:

Why would them making a movie/set which nobody asked for be a good thing, when they have a game they're failing to make that people /have/ asked and paid for?

TTerrible posted:

Motion capture uses minimal sets for motion keying. Steps, hand rails, walls etc. You can even see it in the videos CIG have posted.

A full set could mean a full painted set or a giant wooden contraption - neither of which mocap needs. So the options are this:

A) - They're doing loving FMV and that is hilarious and awful. They're doing FMV in a massively expensive mocap studio instead of a soundstage.

B) - They're building a full set for mocap because CR is a loving idiot and that is also hilarious and awful.

The reshoots things, they've mentioned in ATV when giving excuses for Chris that he is "doing reshoots in the uk"

at three hours. What is the cut off for knowing things before backers do? Is it a day? two weeks? he still clearly DOES have people inside so why aren't you listening to him?

Also will you come back here and apologise when the set is shown off in a video?

Jobbo_Fett posted:

What does the amount of time before the reveal matter? Is it true or not is the only metric that matters.

TTerrible posted:

The clerical error and janitor lines have finished me I'm afraid

Jobbo_Fett posted:

How does predicting a reshoot before its announced not lend credibility to anything?

TTerrible posted:

Not when you pick and choose what to reply to. Answer me about the FMV/Mocap stuff.

They're either:

A) - Filming FMV in one of the most expensive mocap suites in the world instead of a soundstage.

B) - Building a huge set for mocap that doesn't need it.

Either way they're incompetent and wasting a ton of money.

You also ignored the Star marine post.

DS predicted Star Marine being canned months before it was.

Why was it months away, then weeks away and then POOF! You've already got it!

Try.

D1E posted:

loving Derek seriously just steals the best poo poo from this thread to post on his blog, without attribution. Gorf's chart. Liarbetes.

It's pretty disgusting actually.

Dante80 posted:

Btw...14 months ago things were a little better than above.



There are running full steam backwards on this one. This thing reminds me of the idea behind the first iteration of the blue sphere in ships (back when full 3d models of ships were inside the sphere).

Looks "good", handles like crap.

Fat Shat Sings posted:

When did it become the trend to describe minutes of gameplay as some kind of Epic? Anna Boo Huxley was doing the same thing. Flying to the one mission, fighting the scripted loop pirates and back was this detailed story about every single aspect of it.

MOMA. Why are you so concerned with jail time for the CIG employees?

It seems that is what triggers you the most.

PS. They are going to jail.

Player 2 has entered the game. Hey Lazrin now that Mark Hamill has confirmed he has been filming on a set for SQ42 will you be admitting I was right and so was DS? Write back soon X

I understand re shoots are because poo poo sucks. Ask me how I know.

Jst0rm posted:

They have to be reshoots. He was already in for his shoot. Its called block shooting. I've worked in the film industry as a creative lead for 15 years. You don't continually bring in leads for this poo poo unless you dont give a poo poo about burning tons of cash or your product is poo poo.

If you needed them for something else you mismanaged everything. You should have everything ready when you start principal photography.
