My guilty pleasure is watching Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell. Those series have several bosses/owners who remind me of Chris Roberts. Often times someone owns a restaurant but can't cook themselves, yet still insists on designing the menu. They put all kinds of dishes there that the owner has tasted somewhere and said "we need to serve this!" The menu always becomes a bloated incoherent mess that is impossible to cook even for experienced chefs.

There's definitely an issue of graphics vs art direction. Star Citizen has "lots of graphics" but zero art direction. Everything is just generic and bland. Who cares if the bland looking crates have 30 000 polygons. Same with Crysis games which the pcmasterrace crowd always praises. Lots of detail, but not really interesting to look at. I much prefer games where someone actually thought about colors and lighting and visual style. I'm still a big fan of Frontier: Elite II graphics to this day, because it has such an interesting color palette. Blue space and weird purple/green planets. I'm sure RSI has an art director employed in paper, but in reality CR probably overrules all their decisions and prevents any kind of style to evolve.

Just think how many toilets and their plumbing systems need to be accurately simulated for every one of those ships.

300 million $$$ & 7 years in development - STILL ALPHA
So you finally gave up on fapping to Elite Dangerous after finding out it's just a shallow shell of a game where the devs already gave up on it long ago and you are now looking for something else to satisfy your cravings but because Star Citizen isn't out yet you decided to preemptively poo poo on it because Elite Dangerous let you down or something? :P A bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off.
Way to blow your wad early with the Gary Oldman "parrp" face. Res tagged.
Some ED fanboys have been on suicide watch since Star Citizen got atmospheric planets. I guess spending all these years stuck to a pilot's chair got to some of them. The bitterness and envy is palpable from Area18 to NewBabage lol
I like your ED videos alot but drat. Unsubbed.
Yeah I won't touch ED, too much grind and not enough fun. Delivering boxes in my carrack is 1000000% funner than flying around in a boring-looking ship that can't land on planets

Beet Wagon posted:This one's always wild to me cause like.. does Star Citizen even have atmospheric planets? I mean, it "does" I guess but can anybody tell? Does it make any loving difference except that on some planets you can take your dumb helmet off and like... see some clouds or whatever? Well, technically the whole universe is underwater in SC.

There was some talk some pages ago about the orchestral score they are going to do. I'm 100% sure it will be just like the graphics, meaning it will be professionally recorded and performed, but the actual music will be generic unmemorable themes loosely lifted from every random movie CR has seen.

Well it's no wonder. The longest I've been to a single company in my almost 20 years of work is 7 years. Star Citizen will be a multi generation project.

Appearing every few decades to instruct his followers as a hologram.

I wish someone made a game that took inspiration from Chris Foss and Moebius instead of the generic greeble filled stuff that all games are. I guess No Man's Sky is kinda Moebius inspired at least in its colors.

Sarsapariller posted:My favorite recent fantasy is that all of the one-time mechanics like ship skins that they built into one ship as a sales gimmick and dropped forever are not actually dropped, they're just waiting. See it's an alpha so all they really needed was to test the system on one ship, and they've done that! When it gets to beta they'll just flip a switch and boop all the other ships will suddenly have exactly the same level of depth and customization! Why don't they just flip that now and test the other ships? Shut up! gently caress you! You just don't understand game development. If they flipped the switch then there would be too much game mechanics and players would be distracted and focusing on the wrong things. CIG needs to portion out the functionality so that new features (that come with different $700 ships) are tested properly.

All you get to see in the Quantum Jump is blue lines like a cheap Dr. Who knockoff. Yeah, true. I agree. I just wasn't sure what you meant. Even E:D jumping and frame shifting gets old at some point. I can imagine how it's going to be like after a week of 5 minute jumps in SC. Or however long they take.

Is it me or is SC getting uglier? Maybe it's just because of most of the new footage is focused on player characters and interiors. All the interiors also look like places I'd hate to spend any time in. Generic scifi modular hallways. This game is supposed to be the ultimate escapism for middle-aged office drones, but they insist on making everything look and feel like the dullest places possible. Even Euro Truck Simulator has nice scenery to look at.

There are people in this project that really do believe that the bartender is going to open up the rest of their AI and make everything start flowing. My prediction is that in 2022 they will add an NPC that unloads cargo, but it will use the exact same animations as the bartender. He will grab a crate like a coffee pot and pour the cargo into a container like coffee.
