jesus christ how broke is your brain if you keep up with and talk about this dumb loving game. and no, you aren't doing it "ironically"

Kinda seems like they should have gone with loading screens tbh, since they basically have de facto loading screens what with their 20 minute travel times.

If multi-crew ever makes it into the game, it will be a perfect storm of broken, rudimentary and boring, to the point that no one will ever want to be a crew member. “Press F to keep the engines from overheating” oops the ship spontaneously blew up anyway.

NPC crews still only exist as concept art in year 7 and I don’t think CIG has even mentioned them more than once in the past year; plus CIG can’t even get background characters to walk a scripted path around a room, so I think it’s safe to say that they are not anywhere on horizon.

even manning turrets, arguably the least boring of multicrew jobs, is boring as poo poo.

It’s amazing how reckless the Shitizens won’t miss any opportunity to hate EA, Blizzard or Ubisoft and all the devil publishers for their lies and anti consumer bad business practices.

Like these idiots are part of the biggest crowdfunding fiasco of all time and support a memefestival that built It’s fundament on lies, misinformation and incompetence.
This is Freelancer multiplied by the Roberts Clan who found a legal way of money laundering by fleecing the backers with jpegs and without any liability.

How can you diss EA and be mad at Ubisoft when you support a 300 Million pre Alpha POS techdemo that is like 85 % behind the stretchgoals since half a decade and still defend this?

Oh, we know the answer: Sunk Cost Galaxy-fallacy. Thanks botcha

I can imagine the whales having equally ridiculous task breakdowns written out for the floor mopping and toilet cleaning jobs they expect the plebs to do on their mega ships.

Lol, how the hell is multicrew not going to be a terrible experience for anyone not piloting the ship? Ten minutes of a CIG mini game and everyone's just going to kill the pilot. Every ship is going to be like the Event Horizon.

Mr.PayDay posted:

"Every NPC will have their own individual 24-hour schedule periodically constructed for them based upon things like how the economy is doing and what’s happening and within the solar system. A prosperous, growing economy might be reflected by the streets being filled with businessmen, tourists, and shoppers by day, and bar patrons, restaurant diners, and revelers at night.
Criminal activity – muggings, vandalism, pickpocketing, and even assault – might rise significantly once the sun sets, especially in those areas off the beaten path or on planets facing economic hardship. Some stores will close at night, leaving travelers arriving at odd hours and in need of their services and/or products to either burn some time at one of the establishments open around the clock, or trying to find an alternative source for their needs, which might mean trying to strike a late-night deal in a dark alley with a character of questionable integrity."

First working Box grabbing environments, THEN living space with EVERY NPC dynamicly scripted, NEXT epic space battles with x thousands of players.
We are so close!

I admit, when I first saw it, all I thought of was the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where the guy is trying to be all fancy with his sword and Indy just shoots him.

It took me a bit to understand what they were really trying to get across.

So I guess the person who made that didn't really think things out.

They really should have stopped trying to make a sim game and should have made Second Life 2 instead. All these gamer dads want is model viewer and chat program to roleplay in.

Scruffpuff posted:

I understand this point of view, but for me it goes even beyond that. The reality is that they're NOT spending 30K on jpegs, they're getting robbed for that money to line the pockets of a very transparently inept con-man, and they're defending their abuser.

Can't believe I've wasted 7+ years of my life thinking about this scam.

The only way to WIN with Shart Citizoids is to not know about it.

To know about it, is to lose. Whether you're a supporter or a dissenter, if you know about Star Citizen, you fuckin lose.

Buy an idris.

Hey, why does a closed door have a button that says "CLOSE" on it, anyway? Can you double-close it? Or did they mean it to say "CLOSED," so even commandos would know not to try walking through it?

To quote my favourite bit ever from a Cyberpunk splatbook (where they discuss the options for buying "second-hand" or just second-rate cyberware at discounted prices):

"Russian leg not pretty like American leg, but good when kicking tank."

This should tell you all you need to know about Cyberpunk.

colonelwest posted:

Lol at all of these idiots clinging to “physicalized everything”, “no cheats or tricks” and “Chris is building a universe from the ground up”. Not only will none of that make Star Citizen a fun game, but CIG itself is walking back all of those promises, they’re just refusing to acknowledge it.

We’ve already gotten a split inventory system with a non-physicalized part. CIG also recently confirmed that the newer elevators are all just going teleport around and they don’t give a poo poo about backer’s dreams of high fidelity elevator gameplay. Finally, just in the last few days they killed most of the dreams of cities teaming with millions of life-like NPC’s. The small Cryengine maps connected by train rides are all there will ever be, and maybe a few NPC’s will teleport in and out on a set schedule using hidden closets. So this would mean less fidelity than the NPCs in Oblivion.

But no, the Matrix is still going to spring like a Phoenix someday from Chris’ broken pile of code.

The best part is how they've internalised "never been done before" to mean "must be the best way of doing it" instead of "because it is dumb"
