aleksendr posted:Thank to the recent industry trend of short first player story mode, a single hour of story for a prelude (if its a good story) is not that bad. Many first player AAA story (TIF2, IW) are now roughly aroung 2.5 hours long. Although that's true, SQ42 is a single player story driven game where as IW and similar games are multiplayer with a single player campaign as a side dish. If you look at play time with a game like IW, 95% of time spent in game will be spent in multiplayer regardless of how much single player content you include. Admittedly, it's just a prelude but I guarantee people will feel screwed over with a single hour of story and a bunch of filler because it's so obvious they're watering down their deliverables. It was meant to be that SQ42 was a single player campaign released to set the scene for the PU back in 2014. They've since had two more years to work on it and a poo poo load more funding, but the only visible differences appear to be a bunch of over paid and overblown Hollywood actors and the game itself being stretched out and watered down so much that it's basically transparent. I mean seriously, at what rate are people meant to be expecting content for this game? 1 hour of story per year starting in 2017?

aleksendr posted:If the Crobblers could scale down his vision they could easily do it like Hitman episodes. Release one every quater, 1 hour of story with 3-4 hour of mission. Every new content (ship, zone, profession, ect) debut in the SQ42 game as a kind of tutorial and then goes to PU once the next episode is released. You get to tease the players in the PU with the new ship they just enjoyed in the latest SQ42 mission (Buy now !) and instead of stupid demos and sizzle reels you are actually making usable assets for your game. Yeah, I mean poo poo if Chris could scale down his vision we could have a drat good space game out by now. In my mind, there's no doubt that the future of the game is going to come down to which stops first, the funding, or Chris' egotism. I'm shocked that they've not already scaled back to produce something reasonable, it feels like they're so focused on pushing out new ship designs which require new mechanics they can't stop to realise that they need to be heading in the other direction.

It's not so much about getting your money back, it's about taking money out of the hands of these literal scammers. Are you familiar with the full list of promised features that this game has? The kickstarter list of features is about as reliable as its Nov 2014 delivery date. Is there actually a website with a full list of promised SC features? I feel like it's something someone must have put together by this point.

spacetoaster posted:Nobody has to explain why they "should be able to" have civil rights. Honestly I don't understand how you could live in a place where the people in power are allowed to have things that are illegal for everyone else. Do you have access to a fighter jet? Because if your definition of "people in power" is your own military, you presumably live on a desert island with no professional armed forces. Seriously though, if you're expecting to need to fight for your life against your own military forces, I certainly hope you don't expect them to be firing a bullet at you. The list of places that let people have firearms for sport and hunting is very long. The list of places with gun fetishism and paranoia to the point where they consider the ability to kill efficiently a "civil right" is very short.

To be clear, the doors in an MMO that supports piracy as a mechanic are client side and are affected by whether or not you're looking at them when they open and close. To say that this game has not been thought through is an understatement. It's like someone's gone through the project and intentionally made the wrong decision at every turn.

ArfJason posted:So what youre telling me is that you have a twitter and you use it for the express purpose of following a bunch people you literally hate and read all their tweets because they make/like the bad videogame? No, like I said, it's blank. Like, totally blank. Look, I know how this poo poo works, I've been looking at this entirely blank screen for literally days and it's blank as hell. I'm basically an expert on twitter at this point and I know for a fact that it doesn't constantly pop up with random poo poo from people you aren't following just because they think you "might be interested in" due to someone you follow also following an account that liked a tweet. No sir, not even once. This is a thing I have never seen. You seem to be treating me like some sort of moron who has no idea how twitter works. That's a lie. Twitter doesn't have any "suggested" tweets or anything like that. Any suggestion to the contrary is completely false. And don't even get me started on retweets! That's not even a word let alone a thing that would cause something to appear on your feed!! Hahahahaha, what nonsense. I mean what sort of dumbass would accuse people of using twitter in the "wrong way" when they've clearly got no idea how it works in the first place? Certainly not I.

ArfJason posted:So what youre trying to say in the most gbs way possible is that you have searched out such a volume of tweets about the people and videogame you hate that you trained the algorithm behind twitter to suggest you more? Wait a good drat second, this screen isn't even turned on! It seems that I was wrong all along! Twitter does indeed include messages from people, even those I am not following! In fact, looking down my Twitter feed for the last month the only mentions of star citizen are retweeted by one Richard "lowtax" kyanka, who seems to run some sort of internet comedy website. My god, I certainly regret making all those retarded comments about Twitter now that I realise I have literally no idea how it works. I sure do feel like a bit of a twat. Let's hope I don't compound this mistake by incorrectly accusing someone of reposting poo poo from their feed in this thread, because I seem to be incapable of keeping track of who I am replying to!

I'm glad someone said this because I keep looking at this graph and I have no idea what it is trying to illustrate. The first image shows LY branching from 3.8 and SC branching from 3.7. The second image shows exactly the same thing, except with the trunk coloured in red for some reason, implying that Cryengine branched from LY instead of the other way around, but in such a way that makes literally no difference to anything.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Did Lumberyard even exist before 3.8? No, it did not. Amazon built a house on a hill. CIG built a house on a hill. CIG claims their house is based on Amazon's because at some point in the past, they were in the same state. The fact that, at that point, neither CIG nor Amazon had done anything at all is apparently a minor detail. It's stupid and no developer in their right mind would say that Cryengine 3.7 is "Lumberyard Legacy". You might as well say that Crysis 2 was built on Star Citizen legacy code. It's a loving retarded, meaningless thing to say.
