Maybe we can talk him into doing a "Smartse", that is take a picture of his rear end in a top hat, as is his gaming tradition.

hi how are you

space games are almost all horribly unfun which was the reason everyone stopped making and playing them in the 90s

i hope the current glut of the damned things kills any appetite for the BDSSE! when it eventually starts coming out in 2020 after only 6 months of full development

ftl is good

you're right though, space sucks. oh boy look at me pull up forever as this enemy ship and I try to circle around behind one another in an empty featureless void

seems like all these space games try to be a boring bullshit trading simulator because the combat is always garbage and they need something else to occupy your time

I'm kind of looking forward to when they announce that the game is officially dead and a couple hundred nerds just kill themselves at the same time in what the news will call a cult-like act of self sacrifice.

Space games are pretty fun, it's just that recent ones have blown dicks.

If you didn't have fun playing the capital ship fight maps in Star Wars Battlefront 2 then idk what's up with you.

hi how are you

never played it but i liked x-wing

i think it's the stupid sandbox games that don't work, any space game which is all about dogfighting or killing things or whatever has even odds of being good

if they were made a decade ago that is

to their credit, RSI has actually created a lot of really high-quality assets. not all of it is in the alpha, though. there's,

* the racer game thing
* the space stations in the alpha
* the landing zone on the planet (not yet playable)
* all those ships

if they could take all these environments and tie them together in a persistent universe, that alone would equal a substantial amount to explore. whether it's worth $100 million or X years work, i kind of doubt it.

i don't doubt they'll be able to make a really good game. but at the current pace it will probably take them 5-10 years to build all the stuff they promised. maybe that's not so bad, though.

just my 2 cents!!

between september and November every year it is the sweetest most delectable bit of humor on the planet, but for the past few months as theyve been floundering and failing in a million small ways it just isnt the same as their gargantuan fuckups when they try to do something big, like have the creator play the game on a livestream which, if you haven't seen, was a TOTAL DISASTER worth the 19 minutes.

star citizen is really weird

these people have massive elaborate fantasies about the poo poo they are going to be able to do in this game and have like arguments about what ships are better for what things despite the fact that a) the game isn't out and b) the details of the game, as in the mechanics, have not even been finalized yet

im a fuckin eve player and i am amazed at the length of time that people can talk about concept art of space ships in a game that doesn't exist yet. like i couldnt talk for 20 minutes about a ship in eve and its an actual game with balance and mechanics and im probably at autist level

its naive as fuckin hell to look at the assets theyve created in the context of a persistent universe sandbox mmo and think they have made any progress at all whatsoever. even under their original release criteria of 'a handful of systems to explore' the poo poo they are showing 3 years after the game is supposed to have come out is pretty pathetic.

the stream of smoke collectively blowing out of everyones rear end about how 'immersive' this game will be are loving hilarious, just because a bunch of nerds are walking around on a space station and can undock their ships to shoot each othe doesnt mean that it will even vaguely resemble a 'universe' nor will it be the next-gen super freelancer mmo they think it will be

like their original design doc was a 5-10 year endeavour and the scope of the project has ballooned to such a hilarious degree that even in the most blindly optimistic of light i cant see them pulling any of it off
