Hello everyone, been lurking some but been too busy with boring rl stuff to post... anyhoo here's some art history for you:

This is titled "The Emperor Triumphant" painted between 2012-2014 by renowned French artist Rien d'Archère, it shows the Emperor Crobler at the peak of his powers. He smiles at the viewer, pointing to the stars with an outflung arm. "Come with me and live the dream!" he seems to say. Sat upon his mighty steed Star Citizen, the world is his oyster.



Compare the above to this painting by controversial Russian artist Derki Smartov. Painted during 2015-2017, this is simply titled "Deathmarch". After his comprehensive defeat on the freezing Steppe of Reality we see the beaten Emperor retreating with his defeated army of minions. Every stroke of the artists brush cries: Oh the Humanity! Where did it all go wrong?



Holy poo poo these are amazing.

I like how the spikes are being driven directly into the ground at the point before the wheel contacts the ground. That's got to be great for when you drive over a rock. I also like how the wheels are designed to use tens of thousands more polys than are actually necessary, you wouldn't want to design anything with performance in mind in your MMO.

Way too much trucking in truck simulator. Waiting is where the good gameplay is at.


Only an hour, I don't know if that's enough waiting.

I watched WTFo's streams of Hellblade, and he completely missed 85% of the combat mechanics. He got told multiple times about kicks/guardbreaks, and he just said it didn't work. All his fights were awful and boring, and it looked like he was just spamming the light attack button every fight. Then when he had to face enemies with shields, he got totally owned, repeatedly. "Use kick, Saurus.", he is told. "It doesn't work.", he replies.

The combat controls are on the pause screen. He never even bothered to investigate this "kick" thing people kept telling him about.

All other streams of Hellblade combat I've ever watched, it looked fun. His looked like miserable slogs. He just kept mashing the one button.

After failing repeatedly, he said the combat portions were the worst part of the game. He then turned down the combat difficulty to easy, and still just barely beat a guy blocking with a shield.

I'm not sure he ever figured out that there are 2 attack strengths. I know he never figured out the loving button press for kick/guardbreak. And he was miles away from ever touching the combat combo system.

The combat is the worst part of the game though. *barely beats a shield equiped cannon fodder enemy on easy mode*

It's almost like tons of Star Marine ruins you for actual gameplay.

He might just be a giant colossal idiot.

3.0 is so close that they have no idea how long it will take any more. That's so close I can hardly believe it!

Hey, CIG is very honest with their fans. For example, when they switched 3.0 from 'delayed for two weeks' to 'delayed indefinitely'.

Holy gently caress each quest giver must cost millions of dollars in production by now with Chris's promise of each quest being uniquely hand crafted with mocap and voice acting.

3 hours after hypothetical launch players will have done every quest two times over.

Ah but you're forgetting it will take an hour to travel across a single system and then another hour to unload your ship at the other end, so there will be hours of content!

Nine month late overdue and they can only get it working for 15 minutes at a time if they dial the servers back to 12 players and stop them from leaving the planet. Fifteen minutes.

You can't possibly predict how bad it will be. It will always be worse.

Calm down, big boy. There is only one build. That build is locked to daymar only on a private server. If they had people playing around and quantum jumping all over the place in the full, unlocked build, no one would see each other in the play-throughs.

You know all about completing something but locking the features, right? :smuggo:

lol

Sounds like they should invent some sort of technology where the game can handle lots of people joining at once, maybe from all over the world. Still, it's early days in the project, way to early to worry about implementing something like that.

So let me get this straight: they're saying that 3.0 definitely works and is near done and is great and CIG just chose not to have their own paid, featured streamers show it off in depth because instead they thought it would better to have them do hours of meaningless, boring dicking around on an near empty planet that can't go anywhere because every fifteen minutes it unceremoniously black-screens for a server reset.

I'm assuming the plan is that the hands will flail randomly at all times regardless.
