I reckon they will get 7 million by the time people put down there hopium pipes. less 2 million for venue hire and enough crobaciane to get that bear up on stage to sweat and mumble through a fictional presentation Take another 1.5 million away for the month's legal absolution fees drop another 600k in bribe money to pay for streamers to broadcast how amazing the event really was, despite no one going. Perfect accounting right there. Put me down for 2.9 million + 1 hammerhead.jpeg

The Titanic posted:Also expect some meaty digs at Rockstar when CR masterfully flies his chariot over a crater and nonchalantly says how both Grand Theft Auto 5 and both Red Dead Redemptions can fit inside the crater beneath him. If you get a clean sever you can see that GTA 6 is already in the game and it is in THAT crater. However, it clips through surface after a few minutes so most haven't seen it and they haven't made a big deal of yet (CIG = modest) also I think it is not really up CIG's "high" standards the gameplay fidelity ratio is wrong. Good news is CIG have hinted when they do their next Sata balls and pipe rubbing refactor, we should get it fixed to a level where we can play a tier 0 version of it. I'm sceptical though because CIG are big on clipping issues and the emergent gameplay that comes with them, it is pretty revolutionary thinking.

colonelwest posted:Did he ever have friends? I kind of understand how the cult developed as result of CIG policing their forums of negative thoughts, it created the "us or them" mentality. but I just don't understand how people get to this level, I want to believe it is just trolling but I have seen far too many posts like this to be convinced this is harmless tomfoolery. Do these people apply the same level of zeal to all other areas of their lives? do they feel this way about other games like cricket or CSGO? Just divorced my wife, she thinks soccer is fail - clearly a brain-dead moron, Also don't need loser friends that think there are hax on CSGO, its the cleanest e-sport of all time. If you don't completely align with my version of the truth you cannot be tolerated.

"A decline in elevator related deaths" so tantalising. Can I no longer get to a lift to be killed by it? Are clipping issues now so extreme, that falling and crushing deaths are no longer a concern? Player count is so low it no longers kills enough of them to warrant attention? Can't have been replaced by stairs if they are trying to bring down the lethality index. I hope they balanced it right, not just a common sense "fix" because those long lift rides used to a life and death experience, those long debates on who should ride the lift first to see if it was safe... most exciting part of the game, next to stairwell roulette. on a side note, it seems after 8 years of development they finally grasped the absolute basics of managing expectations.

sorry guys i cant hold back. I'm just hyped for this week, got my parpcorn ready early. no matter what happens high or low i'm sure it will be amazing, What jaw dropping new sale are we going to be hit with? apartments? factory buildings? anti tonk guns? special hunting knifes to carve up highly coveted alien whale blubber ? Will this be the moment where people wake up to pre ordering concepts items, for conceptual game play concepts, for hypothetical locations in a game that exists only as development show is really a bridge too far? Are we finally going to see the spectacular flop CIG rightfully deserves or will the castle in the sky go even higher defying the need for common sense in its foundations for another year of disbelief? The keynote speech, the mind simply boggles, what the hell is Chris going to present? after promising 3.0 as around the corner in 2016, yet that clearly is not going to be finished by 2019 and we have a weekly show on that, so what magic pile of coal is going drivel out that mouth to keep hype engine furnace hot enough and the whale oil refinery ticking over? 4.0 out in the next couple of months ! right after we finish 3.0 in the next couple of years? look how much better 3.0 is !! despite still being a shell of what was promised years ago? Here is an amazing new feature from your dreams we have been working .... wait is this why you haven't finished 3.0? I'm just at the edge of my seat just thinking of the possibilities, but i just don''t see how it cant be really lack luster. - but I still have faith our savior will deliver I'm slightly less excited for there is the road to release where the format is more predictable, they will show case their latest short story from there all original fictional series " The liar, the witch and mocap wardrobe" a black turtle neck, profuse sweating and some the best dam hand waving you will ever see considering the immense pressure. Still unlikely to see any sort of clear, measurable defined plan or a real road to release that doesn't require a phd in handwavium and hopium pipe to understand. Always a chance for some of the crazy outcomes the back swan event you don''t expect, stream has no video, stream has no audio, (kind of expect those) S42 drops for a xmas release ! CR does a big apology speech talks about scaling back the dreams and keeping real.  quivering with anticipation

colonelwest posted:I just don't think Chris will ever get his comeuppance in any spectacular/public way. When the money faucet runs dry he'll slowly wind things down and disappear into the night. Sadly I think this is true, when the last car in the train smash finally derails there will be no who done it, it will be legit. because bosses have wages too. colonelwest posted:
This is one bit of CR brillance, he has no accountability. He borrowed a staggering amount of cash with nerd swagger alone and now doesn't even have minimum oversight. Now he finally has his shot at there is no one in his way to stop him, or pull the rug out at critical points because they don't grasp the importance of the vision. On the flip side it is starting to get hysterically funny and now there is no one to share the blame with.

Cao Ni Ma posted:Its always the same song and dance "performance is great!" during the closed testing and then everything goes to poo poo when the load hits but maybe THIS TIME it'll be different and I look forward to the excuses and why it doesn't perform ... my personal favourite was When we tested it worked fine for us, but then players always use things we don't expect, like they filled up the caterpillar with cargo boxes and that's is something we never thought of and it pretty much breaks the server. Ship designed to carry boxes is filled with boxes, an unthinkable edge case!! how do the players come up with these crazy schemes

I suppose you deserve your moment in the sun to retort the tide vile goonery, it's been so long since anything positive happened for your ilk. tell me does it really work? is it stable ? can you spend more time playing that crashing and loading yet? can you consistently do the boring but basics tasks like deliver a box yet without game breaking bugs? or is this yet another feature that breaks more things than it fixes, adding to horrid experience in new unexpected ways making this all bit meaningless for now.

AtmaTheWanderer posted:CitizenCon proved something beyond all shadow of a doubt. This is a game made by a person who hasn't played video games in 20 years, for people who haven't played video games in 20 years. a journey from the elven woods over to Freeport was a harrowing and dangerous journey, and it was kind of fun when I was 15. but I'm the person who liked having to go get your corpse because it made exploring scary and risky. also i have an attention span. However that was 20 years ago and people were still working out what was fun in a game, and long waits turn out not to be one of them. along with standing around yelling in chat, want to group for an hour to get 20 mins of gameplay also was not popular. Maybe that's what FOIP is for making the waits fun as we shout at each about wanting to play the game? also In the defence of ever quest these huge waits and slow gameplay where kind of excusable because the content was so hard to make back then, and pading things to all buggery kind of made sense.

Having watched most of the keynote presentation now. You have to hand it to him, he's got balls He really did a good job of presenting through, that mess too I kind of feel sorry for Chris, for the first time it looks like he has made real efforts to be more honest and open, they showed it raw did not present complete works of fiction like the sandworm pipe dream hype. And it looked amazing but broken and clunky as always. They finally release a concept that was ready to use not just some nebulous .jpeg that might be done in the future and looks like they are getting punished on the funding tracker. Is it just market saturation or maybe his flock really want to buy dreams. Still the last minute pivot to more real it is too little too late. Also when did he become a train nut?
