trucutru posted:And this almost always has to do with ships (not with the game itself, the patches, or any promises outside ships). The ships, or more accurately LTI attached to said ships, represent their superiority through faith. They get to ride around in the grandest of space chariots, immune to attack by the goon peasantry, because they were the true believers who backed early and often. It doesn't matter if the game releases on <insert date here> or what state it's in currently - they are part of the inner circle and will reap the rewards come judgement day. No hilarious ramps or unimplemented ships or clipping through floors can deny this fact. No one cares about the FPS or any other aspect because there is no CIG has now asked what you did for them lately. New money can have LTI. Goons could have LTI. This is how you turn a $20k fleet made of dreams into a pile of worthless jpegs.

I think I last heard about "gamer ADHD" from the true believers in Elite. The real gamers - the ones companies should build content for - are the ones who replace their lives with the video game and compulsively play it regardless of enjoyment. All the nice pictures of reddit people defending tedium and Chris' stated No Fun vision would be right at home in the Elite forums. The Titanic posted:So go play Elite. Buy Elite on deep cut sale and marvel at the great flight model and fun minutia of takeoffs/landings/other things that are interesting the first dozen times. The only things beyond that are headcannon fanfiction and an endless grind.

I'm on the front lines of bashing the now-standard twitch streamer scarecam but that was just beautiful. Hearing about the fidelitious amazing planet of handcraftedness while his face contorts in frustration clicking frantically on a loving door is amazing. I know the cult comparison comes up a lot but hearing that calm voice reassuring this guy that the broken pile of poo poo he's witnessing is actually a good thing is too on the nose.TheAgent posted:poo poo in two months we get read dead redemption 2, a game that was conceptualized, built and released in less time than star citizen Crobberts would have delivered those horse balls in far greater fidelity.

The things that cause reddit meltdowns are amazing when you consider how insignificant they are compared to the grand con. $700 for jpegs is fine but $20 for a virtual ticket to the thing you've banked your life on? That's terrible! I eagerly await the whole rage->cooldown->purge cycle that someone (probably gorf) wrote about back during the LTI meltdown. It's these plot arcs that make SC the best game.

Every space game from now on is legally required to dunk on SC somehow.bandaid.friend posted:Looking forward to outlaw but I wonder why they dropped the broadside combat. Privateer style games are all so similar to each other. At least the style's still there Ignoring the tweets/emails/whatever they got wanting a more traditional spaceflight model, I'd like to think there just wasn't much more to do. You can graft on some new weapons and a new story and make it RG 1.5... or you can keep the style and ditch the perspective. For all the cool space games out there RGO is speaking to an untapped niche for people who want to shoot things in space but not manage all the minutia.

G0RF posted:Quoting myself to make sure this latest addition doesn’t get missed. RG triggered a space cowboy itch I thought had died with Privateer and this... is pretty much exactly what I want. The only thing I don't immediately love is not going warp speed. I know autopilot is objectively better from a wasting-the-player's-time perspective but I've got a boner for hyperspace. The fact that I don't get to see stars turning into lines or whatever is literally my only nitpick. Jesus christ how did it take so long to fill this niche? Even if SC wasn't the incredible meta dumpster fire it is, there are so many space games and none of these space games.

Sillybones posted:Jesus loving christ. The game is really that horrible? It reads like a parody. This is why it's too difficult to explain to people on the outside that this is a dumpster fire with less functional "game" than some 30-minute baby's first flash coding attempt thing on Newgrounds. It all sounds like hyperbole because there's no way anyone else would unleash this sort of nightmare while sitting on a funding figure quickly approaching 200 million dollars. If you manage to get through to them the exact state of things then they say "wow, what a scam" but are still not quite grasping that it's also a cult and people keep dropping $27k on jpegs even with all the knowledge of the last eight years. If Crobberts has done one thing on a grand, unprecedented scale it's creating a situation where it's too difficult to explain how lovely it is.

Scruffpuff posted:We joke about autism in this thread ("autism chariots" etc.) but in reality of course it's a real condition and it's not necessarily funny. I've always felt the joking has been on the side of excuses for the creepy/greybeard opinions. More making fun of people who self-diagnose aspergers to explain why they need hyper-realistic feet or six inputs to turn a doorknob and less making fun of people who suffer from a condition they can't control. I don't think the crobbler necessarily suffers from some sort of disorder that demands he has complete control. I think he wants to be the auteur that defines a genre. He wants to be a Kubrick, who's missteps are forgiven due to his genius vision, but he has neither the vision nor the skill to pull it off. He mistakes making the pixel green with creative vision just like any other rear end in a top hat who considers himself a Hollywood director without actually producing anything of value. SC isn't a scam and his constant exploitation to fill the coffers will be forgiven if only he had more time and fidelity.

Do not seek a job in game development unless you want to destroy your life to get a marginal metacritic uptick that nets someone above you a bonus. I doubt the people who survive the initial couple of weeks at CIG are the rational ones. What's left are lifers who will go down with the company. There is a more pressing issue, though: we need a gif of crobbear melting down PW style. his nibs posted:I don't even like anime Got you covered.

People holding up Jobs as a jesus figure says more about average computer competency and human psychology/marketing than anything Apple tech did, but at least Apple was firmly in the right market. Chris isn't in the games business. He's a Hollywood auteur. You just don't know it yet because his star-studded, mocapped Squad 42 cinematic experience has not yet been released. Once that's done studios will be pitching to him and he will finally validate his big movie director lifestyle. The weird space MMO his underlings keep talking about doesn't even register.

If you let a single citizen escape the omnipresent Goon Refundian Brigade then you've clearly lost faith in Supreme Leader Smart. You'll never be able to truly rub again.BluesShaman posted:FFX could be completed without any grinding really. It wasn't a difficult game. FFX was the first one in my (admittedly, full of holes) memory that really went all in on the idea that people were just going to use the internet for secrets. Instead of obscure item placement or whatever it was time for bullshit "challenges" like the goddamn chocobo race and the soul-crushing slog of blitzball. Not strictly required, but those were still very lovely. Also required if you wanted to beat the bosses not included in the Freedom Land release, though I guess the remakes would have added them in. Now you've made me remember that the FF7 Remake has the same chance of being a released, good game as SC and I'm sad.

Morphix posted:i gave read deads another try and got a few missions into chapter 2 rdr derail! I made it to Chapter 3 but I honestly have trouble getting up the desire to play more. Someone early on in the RDR2 thread mentioned how "ambitious" this game is and I got an immediate "hurr hurr like Store Citizer" chuckle, but when I actually thought about it there are some parallels. I'm obviously not going to equate the two because for whatever faults and frustrations RDR2 has it's still inherently a released game that is good. One of my mental problems is I like looking at things and wonder how they came up with the final result and RDR2 broke my brain. Your repeater needs to have you press the trigger a second time to eject the spent shell for extra fidelity. It's bad to be too fat but also too thin and you're probably too thin because you need to eat once every 24 minutes or something and you can't fix it by stuffing your face all at once because that wouldn't be realistic. You need peace and quiet to hunt legendary game, but that immediately gets interrupted if some bounty hunter spawns within a mile of you. The controls try to fit in tons of functionality by having your buttons swap around to different things. There's a whole lot of rules to people witnessing crimes and reporting you. People will treat being knocked over like an assault. To bring it back to SC - Any of those things, at some point to someone, seemed like a cool idea. The problem is they're all mashed into the game, break frequently in various different ways, and in some cases shortcuts were taken that become blatantly obvious to the player. When one of these issues kicks you in the dick for the fifth time that play session it's very easy to imagine some R* equivalent to Crobbler telling a lone QA peon that they will NOT be changing that thing because FIDELITY.

Bofast posted:Instead of death by a thousand cuts... near death by a thousand things that should have been cut but were not? Well it made a bajillion dollars so death is probably the wrong call. If you're not a psychotic who's interested in design decisions then you just ignore the dumb controls or whatever and continuing yeehawing. Stuffing so many features into the game invariably led to more bugs, but even if everything was operating correctly it's still a mountain of minutia. When someone mentions the latest fidelitious flavor of the month we all laugh, but RDR2 is a good example of what happens when you say yes to every weird little hyperfocused thing and ignore whether or not it's fun/interesting. The only difference is R* isn't a hilarious scam so all those wonky design decisions just become annoying blips in a generally enjoyable game.

The Titanic posted:Is X4 the great evil Star Citizen must defeat now, or is it still the old game Elite: Dangerous? I kinda want to like X4 but even after Elite and playing Paradox games I'm kind of intimidated away from playing it by ALL THE THINGS being presented. RGO is easily a day one purchase because it's a legit Privateer successor but X4 feels like something where 1000 hours is "a game". Since it effectively does the things SC promises it will be attacked on fidelity, not being an MMO, and every possible transgression (real or imagined) made previously by X games.

Clearly Elite knew that they couldn't compete with the BDSSE and decided to make their mining worthless just to copy Roberts! A lot of thought over RGO, X4, and laughing at SC in the last month or so has brought me to the conclusion that there is a very specific reason people romanticize Privateer (and WC, to a lesser extent) - it's the last time someone made a space game that didn't involve mining and other tedium. SC itself is even weirder because you've got the same sort of brown sea graybeards that Elite has recalling the glory days of space combat games while simultaneously demanding high fidelity space toilets that require them to poo poo in real time. Edit: Oh poo poo, the taxman cometh. Here is our very good girl.
