Are you excited goyim? Now obese goons can don't even have to wear dresses and wigs to pretend to be women!

This fucking thing sounds like what every 12 year old jotted down on paper for designs whenever they were going to create the "best game ever"

The feature bloat on this abomination is incredible. Roberts should have hired someone to just slap him in the face when he voices a stupid idea.

Does it work with suits?

This smells like money laundering.

...

Oh, God helps us, sweet Jesus Christ have mercy on us, Roberts will force the company to adapt the tech for fursuits and we will all get to know a special kind of hell once it spreads out of SC.

This is so fucking blatant money laundering it's hilarious. Go on look up who exactly is doing the (((facial animation))) and you'll find quite a few large noses

Can't wait to see this trainwreck hit the shelves. This shit is gonna be a NMS-class blunder, i'll tell you that.

Obligatory

...

By the way, if you missed their gamescom demo, it was old-E3 levels of impossible sustained failure. Like here, where the wheels literally fall off their demo. Not sure if embedding timecodes works and I'm at work so can't webbum but it should start around 50m:

Star Citizen receives Gameplay when?

LITERALLY RAPED

ara ara~

gmod sexual assault.

How?

Rape mods like in Grand Theft Auto Online.

Oh, no, not even close. People will commit suicide when this game fails. You have autists that have invested their life savings into this mess.

They might just draw it out indefinitely, giving the community time to slowly deflate rather than implode. Then 20 years from now they declare it a failure and only a few people still care.

NEVER EVER

...

This begs for a Scam Yiddizen hand-wringing and jew-curls shoop

…but you have to buy a special camera with the RSI logo on it.

At least NMS had a release date and was forced to respect it.

EERILY REALISTIC

Oh yes, I cannot wait to show the female denizens of the internet my holo-wang.

*unsheathes wallet*

...

what a fucking waste of resources.

Holla Forums has really bad taste in games, I know this for myself.
I rarely ever like playing vidya.

...

I didn't know "Austrian Nationalist" was the entirety of Holla Forums personified, you fucking windowlicker.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously though they're wasting money on that rather then making the game not shit. They could at least use some lube before they ass rape their backers again.

You right. Last time i checked Skyrim was praised for being redpilled there (nords reclaiming land and shit). And fallout 4 praised for being able to kill commies.
But generally most of Holla Forums are gsg fags who play iron hearts.

...

But dude this is the game where you can do ANYTHING, its the ultimate game! Get hype bro!

lewd.

Does it have a fuckhueg variety of autistic STL engines? What about another fuckyueg variety of hard sci-fi weaponry? Does it have a highly accurate heat radiation system? Does it even have conservation of momentum?

...

Considering not a single game Christ Roberts ever worked on had any of those things, probably not.

Is this part of Cloud Imperium Game's strategy to make a game so bloated and resource intensive no one can ever hope to play it and run away with all the shekels?

Pic unrelated.

Nuh-uh bro, they have the money to pull it off. This will truly be the greatest game of all time and its definitely worth waiting a year or two for it, cant wait to board other spaceships and steal them and then end my day by retreating to my bunk and clipping my nails because they grew out again

...

Cool, now its a glorified jpeg simulator with basic face tracking shit that everything has anymore. Now where is the game?

They never needed wigs in the first place, fuckers never cut their hair. If you see a man with long hair, light his oily mob on fire.

Please tell me there's sauce, and if so, if there's a sex scene involved.

I-Is this a boy?

user, are you balding?

Kek

Yes and yes. And because you got dubs…
Nishizuku Hiyo
sukebei.pantsu.cat/view/497402

No…..but if you want boys…
dl.getchu.com/search/dojin_circle_detail.php?id=4417
I don't see any of these on any torrent sites, so you might have to pony up nip shekels for them.

You are the nigga, user.

You are a fucking hippie, my man.

...

I just get a hair cut every 4 months at a polish place.

That's not implicating wasting your money at a barber? Just fucking cut it yourself, it's not fucking hard, you hippie fuck.

If I'm not mistaken, this sort of software is the kind of shit you can plug-in for a techdemo or a stand-alone program, but it's not some kind of advanced featureset that you'd go out of your way to implement in a real game.. In other words, this shit is a gimmick. An easy to add in API (I believe that's the term) that might make the game look more fancy, but won't actually contribute to the quality of the game, nor is it indicative of any talent or skill on their part.

Enjoy that lice and having to use a shitton of hair products to not look like motherfucking Ongo Bungo

You can't do anything but a bowl cut or a full skin head/straight outta the gas chambers shave like that

Better than looking like some hippie faggot.

Bowl cuts are cool, they scream "I hate society and i'm gonna shoot Kevin from school"

I would've accepted "Emo faggot", but there's nothing hippie or hipster about long hair, at least in [current year]+2. If anything, hipsters are usually balding.

$12 tuesdays at walmart hair salon.

Not even, just $5 at a cheap polish or spic one.

I would bet it's normal in this brave new world for a man to have hair as long as a woman.

In the magical year of CY+2, men are expected to style their hair into elaborate, upright coifs, and women are expected to butcher their hair by cutting it short and shaving off random chunks of their scalp.

Nah famalam, just ~ear level at the sides, eye brow-nose level bangs, maybe neck level at the back. It's not like it takes more than 5 minutes to take care of it in the morning. Just swipe it to the side after you're done drying it after your shower.

Nip 3d ain't that bad.

The "my wig is falling off" hairstyle is so great

what bothers me the most is that they just can't stand still

why wont they stop twitching and wriggling

he'ld just end up adding that as a new force-feedback option in the game.

They're overacting to compensate for the lack of facial expressions on the suit

Fuck I forgot about this

FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THIS

FUCK YOU

Imagine, if Cloud Imperium games had been headquartered just a little closer to the coast, this would all have been washed away.

This would be great as a kids show!

>implying you wouldn't honk a chen

Anything but your own race is degenerate

Where the fuck have you been this year?
FOREVER EVER

kobayashi a qt

Is that Jean Reno?

Oh man, since SC has been out and commercially viable for so many years, I'm so glad they're adding this fun but mostly superfluous feature!

Wait, what's that? You said the game isn't even out yet and each gameplay demo looks more broken, but in a 'core systems barely work' way?

I would genuinely love to be a fly on the wall of their backlog planning meetings.

go back to /a/ you trash eating mongoloid.

Holy feeping creaturitus, Batman!

...

...

I was going to support it back when he promised a single player option.

The coder take a shot of vodka every time Roberts announce a new feature to the audience without consulting them.

They've been dead for four years

Not coming.

In fact its increasingly looking like Squadron 42 is going to be strangled in the cradle.

Cool when's it going to be out?

The facial animation is stupid, 9 times out of 10 yr gonna be wearing a helmet which will obscure any animations, or yr going to be in a spaceship flying about at hundreds of meters a second trying to kill other spaceships. Well, actually yr not going to be playing much of anything, because apparently SC is using netcode that can't even support 4 ships on screen at the same time with only one or 2 crew on each ship. Check out the 'big capital ship fight' at the 3.0 gamescom event which was over a LAN lol.

Even if they manage to somehow get that to work at over 30fps, imagine them trying dozens of ships flying around a moving space station with people having a fps shootout in some of the moving ships. Not gonna happen.

Chris was very quiet about the progress of squadron 42, which looks a bit suspect to say the least. But hey, at least they had plenty of time and money to make flash looking adverts for $400 .jpeg spaceships which were on sale throughout the event.

"We are still ironing out bugs with the netcode" will be put on repeat when people ask where 3.0 release is. Once it is released people will ask why some of the content was held back until 3.1, I'm fairly certain that a rehash of previous excuses will then play out through most of next year. Read the following in Chris Roberts voice -

"When we chose the game engine and netcode in the beginning it was more than enough for the goals at the time, but now the vision we have for the game has grown so much with so many amazing new features we have to accept the netcode is not up to the job. We have spent a lot of time and money trying fix it but ultimately from this point on we have decided to implement a new engine and netcode which we know can deliver the quality our community would expect, moving forward we are creating a team to help write that code and new software to better help us transfer existing assets over to the new engine. Of course this has put the project behind schedule slightly, we thank our fans and backers for their continued support and understanding, it is with great honor I can announce a new range of ships for sale, here are some sketches of them with prices range from only $250 to $899 depending on what size ships and mods you want with it. I think you'll all agree they are a bargain, but grab them while you can, this a limited time sale as thank you to all our loyal fans. Thank you all so much."

This will then be met with a standing ovation with people praising Chris for his openness, progress, tough decision making etc.

...

I mean to post this not the spacehsip image

Anyone have any webms of the latest star citizen showing? I read the thread but I missed the stream

just search for the recorded stream on youtube, it's disturbing to see the lack of new content since last year as well as a whole host of new bugs and most the old ones still present.

it is a bit creepy to talk about a game that way…

Yea I was going to watch the stream but I figured there would be at least a few funny bits that stood out.

At least I can understand why they'd want dynamic facial animations. It's a cool piece of tech and could be fun to mess around with. Now you try to explain to me why the game has a drink mixing feature, why you have to load your cargo manually (or pay someone to do it for you and wait as they do it, in real time), or why you have to shower, and a dozen other retarded features people will try once or twice for the sake of novelty and then promptly forget exist because they are tedious busywork.

The game going down to 1 fps was a sight to behold, and this is after basically every feature they tried to present bugged out on them, some multiple times. And this was a highly scripted and rehearsed vertical slice of the game. I have no idea how people can still look at this mess and believe the game is going to ever become playable.

The real tragedy of the whole presentation was looking at the wonky "physics" controlling the ships. I thought maybe it was a bug, lack of polish or them simply toning them down to make their shitty presentation work, but no, people have told me they're working as intended since Christ wants the game to have mass appeal. The ships basically behave like there is no weight to them, they just stay in place, even in a planet's atmosphere and can change direction or axis without any resistance.

Just look at this page (starcitizentracker.github.io/), it tracks everything Roberts has managed to implement. Half the completed "features" are just ship jpegs and general infrastructure bullshit like a website and forums.

...

I agree with everything you say. Damn Chris for not sticking to making the original game. Through him wanting to make several games in one he's fucked everything. Even if he triples the money they raised so far and doubled the size of the team I still think at best we can get some short 'first chapter' game out of S42 in late 2018 which will disappoint everyone and effectively stop anyone funding the game any further. As for the PU, I doubt a truly playable, enjoyable experience will ever be had, I think it'll get released in tiny fragments over 4-5 years and in the end be a shadow of the vision Chris has inside of his demented mind.
Really really hope I'm wrong and that he somehow pulls his dream off, but reality is a bitch.

The showering feature really is the icing on the shit-cake. I mean, just keep your spacesuit and helmet on and no one else is going to be able to smell your piss stained, skidmarked, cum encrusted diapers anyway. Either that or the drinks mixing, I can't decide which one I despise more.

You'd think decompression and decontamination chambers would make showering pointless but what the fuck do I know.

At this stage it really is a race now between Chris Roberts finishing the game and Elon Musk building an actual spaceship and sending people to Mars.

Looks like a younger Davos.

My bet is that we'll get a functional Mars spaceship first. The foundations of SC are rotten, the game will never be anything but a collection of buggy Crysis mods.

I think it's kinda cool. Doesn't excuse anything though.

I can't find it but there was a post on a reddit thread (fuck off I know) that claims the crysis engine can't handle objects or characters moving over a certain speed. It was a fairly low speed from what I remember, after that speed is surpassed then weird things start to happen to the physics in the game. No one is sure it can even be fixed.

>>>/a/

Good to know the customers shekels are being used for the right things.

The head tracking thing was pretty cool but wouldn't TrackIR be better for this considering it doesn't need the overhead processing power to scan your face. The face mapping sounds useless as fuck but I guess someone was bound to pioneer this shit on the market eventually.

Wonder what new tech the next 20 years is gonna bring.

I JUST WANTED A NEW STARLANCER

...

I sincerely fucking wish death upon the whales who poured a shitton of money into this. I want suicides, god damnit. At least then my 75 dollaridoos will feel remotely well-spent.

(The Avenger looked good.)

...

If it was just head tracking that would be fine and probably a requirement for flight sim type games, but the facial animation just seems pointless.
How many people are actually going to want to sit around in a virtual bar, mixing drink jpegs for each other, watch each others uncanny valley face grimace and talk about how the devs are rewriting the netcode? Even if a tiny percentage of roleplayers wanted to do that you know a 12yr old is going to climb on your table, jump up and down doing spins whilst squealing like a stuck pig though a $2 microphone.

Wait, so now this non-video game cult group will have complete access to not just your name and basic information, but also exactly what you look like? More and more I get the feeling that this game's launch party is going to get all Heaven's Gate in a hurry.

...

bethesda is probably the most redpilled western developer and their games are shit. I guess the old "the more conservative you are, the dumber you are" adage holds true again.

In what demented reality are Bethesda redpilled?

You only kill 1 commie in Fallout 4 though.

I wish Fallout in general took more than aesthetics from 50s sci-fi. Those were the good years, when editorial fiat demanded the hero be a white, heterosexual man and the aliens be portrayed as filthy xeno scum.

Then the Jews came with their "sci-fi is allegory for current political issues" and the rest is history.

I actually would of liked it if they did a more 60's aesthetic just the music alone would fit the setting.

I haven't played Fallout 4 because fuck that shit, but honestly I'd spare the old chink ghoul. Shit's already fucked, killing him brings nothing back, he actually regrets the whole thing and he really just wants to go the fuck back home and maybe pick up the pieces of whatever's left.

Fuck the 60s and early 70s. Most cancerous decades in Western history. They should make an 80s inspired post apocalyptic RPG and take their cues from Terminator, Total Recall, Aliens, Robocop, etc.

There's nothing left. Europe and China are smoldering, nuclear craters.

Honestly fallout games have always been walking simulators to me.

Fuck the 80's man that has been overdone to death, you might as well have it be based on all decades have gangs inspired by watching too many Mad Max movies going around larping as lord hugh mungus.

You have objectively shit taste by wanting to see games made about the most pozzed decade of the past century.

It's implied that most of China got leveled, yes. We never get told too much about Europe - it's implied that when the shit hit the fan in that region it was largely conventional warfare shit, IIRC, so who knows.

Still, when a chink commie ghoul is actually one of the more believable and even borderline likeable characters in your game you might have a fucking problem.

Have you even PLAYED the first 2?

With settlements trying to bring back the "golden years" of 50's america whilst having cities looking like destroyed husks of blade runner cities with 80's music blaring, mobsters beating up mohawked drug addicts. And powered armored guards used to protect the cities like an SS force.

I wish there had been an option to nuke the whole Commonwealth and everyone in it.

Everyone knows the first Fallout game was Fallout 3.

I have played fallout 2, but don't I really fucking care at this point. Bethesda has fucked up that franchise so much it's sickening.

Fixed that for ya, it's not that I hate the 80's it's just that it along with zombies are boring at this point.

I'd actually like an 80s inspired post-apocalyptic game set in something like Megacity One. Instead of a wasteland you have an urban sprawl teeming with crazed military bots that got fucked over by cyberwarfare attacks, you can hack into what remains of the city's mainframe but run the risk of attracting the attention of hostile and demented AIs lurking therein. "Magic" would be using your cyber warfare module to fuck over your enemies, make them see illusions, attack their comrades, fry their brains or simply blow their heads off (since everyone is born with an implant due to genetic engineering). Factions are housed in huge skyscrapers and shoot at each other across the streets, etc.

Basically, a cyberpunk world where the apocalypse happened, where a big multicultural shithole just became even more a cesspit. The quest would involve getting to the mainframe core and trying to gain control of the city's systems.

I would like a setting that's more like the first Mad Max. The big war happened but society is somehow able to carry on though at a much reduced capacity that they have to discard their ethics in order to keep what's alive "safe".

Fucking Bethesda.

I think he used up the big ones when the war started

user, I don't think most boomers carry "multiple sizes" of SLBM. Even one modern-grade SLBM would be enough to make a place the size of the Commonwealth utterly uninhabitable.

They could just use a furry model. I mean, I don't know if they would allow that but then, maybe it's just a question of money.
tbh it would be pretty cool to rp as freeza

Next stretchgoal will be ass tracking that will mark where you wiggle your bumcheeks on your seat and accurately input the data in game.

Not even close. You want redpilled, go check out CD Projekt Red or Daniel Vavra

No they will be adding treadmill support, so when you are walking on a planet/spaceship it will actually fell like you are there.

They are going to build a whole new planet.

But user, that sounds like a cult.

They should just pander to the furry demographic. They'll make another $50 million without breaking a sweat.

Reported for not even trying.

I have just watched the pretty lame Idris fight. If Star Citizen ever comes out, it won't offer anything besides Elite Dangerous has already done better. The first part is banal in ED. Banal. If you do such a mission against a crime syndicate, you will always find at least a Python which I think is half as big as Idris. Even Anacondas, which are very similar to the Idris in features are no rarity on such missions. Now to the combat itself. Most vessels besides Capital ships won't do each other the favor of just holding still in space while their fighters are duking it out around them. Usually they try to get at each other thrusters or away from certain death. The other thing was the fact that vehicle wasn't pursued by the Idris, which is totally possible in ED. I see no reason why it shouldn't be in SC.

tl;dr
Shit's obviously manufactured.

Actually fire damage of a real nuclear war kills everyone, remember the smoke from 9-11? That was one skyscraper.

There's a reason why not even Trump wants to bomb North Korea and deal with nukes on Seoul and Okinawa. Fallout 4 is pretty dumb.

They had a second, non-scripted battle that locked just anemic as the first one. They pew pew at each other, not that the guns firing or the ships maneuvering have any weight to them, and it looked equally terrible.

didn't it crash at the end

Here's a nearly comprehensive list of all the major fuckups. It was hilarious watching Roberts sweat buckets and pretend everything was fine.

Bartending seems comfy, but it'd only work in something stylized, like in SS13. The others are completely inexcusable.

The best part is their tendency to waste time on stupid bullshit and feature creep/bloat would be right at home there.

The fuck is a "you can do anything" simulator doing with quest givers? Isn't that a telltale sign of a lack of meaningful interaction?

The shitty graphics are part of the charm.
off topic sage

...

I'm arguing against cutting your own hair, I'm the long hair fag

And when they did get in the big ship that had landed I thought, hey we are going to see some awesome interior battles or at least see the inside of the ship in detail, and how different members of the crew can have different roles, but no, it cut to a camera angle back outside of the exterior of the ship.

that autistic squeeching is making me want to kill someone

it looks so god damn artificial. even HL2 which released all the way back in 2004 looked more natural. this is just terrible.

But that's not artificial user, that's live footage of esteemed character actor Liam Cunningham
You can't get any more realistic than that

Been playing games since 1998 and I have never preordered or funded a game.
This industry is fucking cancer but Star citizen brings it to a whole new level.

say it with me, Holla Forums:

But Ill continue to spend my shekels on more sony products :^)

That looks like a multi-colored ass with the Texan coast as the hairy ass crack.

Just wait for what (((CIA))) SA goons can do with all that information people are more than willing to hand to them.

Really had to concentrate, but I see it.
thanks

Fuck me.

T-thank you user.

Buddy, NMS won't even show up on the radar next to this cataclysm.

Wait, wasn't this supposed to be a game about space combat, the game fans had been waiting for? Of course, feature bloat, but without conservation of momentum this is the space game no one was waiting for. It's feature bloat so hard they're not even covering the original main point.

I think all anyone wanted was almost-full newtonian (planets influence ships, no other directions) and guns. How did this happen? Why doesn't this game exist? Why do people make 2d space games? Why has X been releasing the same game for decades? Why is fucking SpaceEngine the closest anyone has come to just making the obvious game?

No, it's a sci-fi themed autistic everything simulator sandbox

The scale is going to be logarithmic after this.

...

...

More of a ballsack tbh

Children of a dead earth is pretty much that, but it's pretty niche due to the way it sells itself.
Elite:Dangerous is sort of that as well, but grinding for good ships and guns is a pain, and encountering another player can take a while which is why I like it better as a comfy sleepy game

Thanks user, this game looks amazing.

...

They updated their schedule a few hours ago with the excuses blockers preventing releasing 3.0. The game is literally going backwards.

On the internet.

...

At that rate of decline of 4 bugs a month, that hits zero 23.5 montha from now. And that's just for the 3.0 patch, not the game.

If we kidnapped his family do you think we could get him to do a feature freeze?

I'm glad you saw it too

Why not something like Iron Storm (pic related)?

...

he repeatedly says 'get off the loading screen' with more urgency in each request. Any ideas why? Great video by the way.

Probably because he doesn't want to reveal just how fucking long it takes to do anything in that game.

If I was to guess
< loading is probably the most likely stage to crash
< it may have a dodgy version number displayed somewhere 'gamescon_v1.0' or something
< it boots into a shitty non-menu

Had a thought last night, what if Elite Dangerous was marketed like SC, and you could have backed the development of the game with the purchase of ships, guns and ground vehicles?
What prices do you think they would be if the devs tried to keep them in line with SC items?
I was thinking something on the lines of $42 for a Sidewinder and access to the game as the basic beginners pack and then something like;

$79.99 Imperial Eagle
$119.99 Cobra Mk III,
$169.99 Cobra Mk VI
$199.99 Lakon Type 6
$279.99 Imperial Courier
$399.99 Federal Drop Ship
$599.99 Imperial Clipper
$849.99 Python
$999.99 Beluga Liner
$1499.99 Imperial Cutter

And with all the hype and tech demos beforehand there would still be people taking bank loans and bashing credit cards to get a nice collection of ships together so they could experience everything from fighting to exploring and trading.

I can only imagine the disappointment when the whales would realise they just bought themselves right to the end game with not much left to actually play/grind for and that if they have the top end ships then there is little sense in using a lower end ships to do the job at hand anyway.

You could have natural born people that don't get affected by not-magic but also can't hack into anything.

fight me faggot

I can't wait for this train wreck to come out.

...

It'll never wreck. The train will just slowly run out of steam somewhere in the Himalayas, the crew will abandon it or die, and the passengers dumb enough to still be on board will slowly run out of heat and food and then begin eating each other and burning the train itself for warmth.

...

COuld be worse, peter molyneux could take over as boss after all the negative feedback from fans causes CR to retire early due to depression. Then PM decided to start the game from scratch in his vision using around 30% existing assets and a brand new engine he has an idea about.

Excessive over-styling to hide premature balding is the current trend du jour. Since ancient times long hair on men has been a sign of virility and good genetics, so it stands to reason that the current nu-male hordes would despite long hair and opt against it.

He could put the Milo AI into the game (because that technology totally exists) so the players can not only fulfill their dreams of being a space exploring starship captain, but also of taking care of their wife's son. Financially supporting the child is of course part of the experience and don't think any sort of in-game currency will do!

Sometimes I really wonder how people can watch this shit, defend the fucking presentation and assure everybody else that Star Citizen is going to be this mindblowing ubergame. Feels like I'm witnessing the largest "I was just pretending to be retarded" ruse the world has ever seen.

...

...

1 more than every other pozzed AAA shit pile

I would put money on CR having of at least thought of marriage, kids and dynasties etc in the game but somehow has managed to hold back. Maybe he'll announce it at citizencon

Cool, now if it could only receive a release date.

:^)

Not possible as CR has some sort of disorder where nothing will be perfect enough for him to consider it finished. Even once all the funds have gone, the staff have all left and most everyone has forgotten about the game, he'll be updating a website for a handful of whales who are still living the delusion with CR about such garbage as how the smoke in the 4nd level outer rim corridor of Space Station Zorgble is just not green or thick enough for the vision he had and how he spent that last week trying different color hues, tones & brightness levels, eventually scrapping the existing volumetric fog software for a new more modern one with slightly more overhead on the CPU but a more unique look. Or he'll be fine tuning the level of dust on top of the fan blades on the ceiling fans in that sleazy bar in the DingDingdo Moon base that the pirates of whatever hang out in that you visit twice during the tutorial.

you'd think he would have learned his lesson. Anyway this demo was pretty underwhelming. No real new information other than them harvesting facial data to sell to Schweppes corporation. And the ship physicals still look awful especially in atmosphere, how fucking hard is it to watch some planes and just do that. They literally move like a free-look camera. Along with the still high level of general jank it's hard to believe they've done much for a year.

Christ I hope the Chinese rescue party finds footage. I'd love to see SC backers turn on each other.

People have ruined their lives to pay for this shit
They're basically crackheads with even less to show for it

The media storm when Citizens go postal will be fun.

100 MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARYDOOS

You'd think they would have figured this kind of thing out by now haha

ha

people are going to get motion sickness from this. that screen looks so jerky unless they have some sort of massive dead zone.

They still have a bunch of fucked shit from like 5 years ago, random jerking, abrupt camera moverments for no reason, lightsources getting randomly way too bright and smearing, VR is never going to be a good experience with this thing

STAR CITIZEN NEVER

Only this time, they really weren't pretending.

Brain damage from breathing in all the cum fumes after living in a suit-shaped oven for weeks.

For Swedish Children.

*raises paw* it's like bestiality except it's not illegal and they totally weren't abused as children:33333333ccc:3ccc

FOR THE RIGHT PRICE GOY

t. jfhalshsfdalkj

At this point we can probably start a fundraiser asking for donations to dox SC backers and drive them into suicide.

The proper term is "subhuman garbage".

DONATE MORE MONEY

How's the weather in New Delhi?

Just because you can look like an Afghani POW doesn't mean you should.

After searching online it appears that CR has pretty much gone silent on Squadron 42 (the stand alone epic single player campaign with cut scenes of hollywood blockbuster quality, for those that don't know.)

I vaguely remember Squadron 42 was due in 2015, then they said they needed more time to polish it so would be 2016. Then I'm not sure what happened after that, I think they were waiting for Space Marine to be finished so they could use all the assets from that, but as it turns out everything from Space Marine was incompatible with Star Citizen so they just scrapped it all. Not only that but at some point CR said something on the lines of Star Citizen and Squadron 42 will be tied together somehow and they need to finish one before they can finish the other (which, reading between the lines, means they are stuck in an endless loop of nothing moving forward).

The single most disturbing thing from Gamescom '17 was the Idris. That ship is supposed to be heavily tied to the Squadron 42 game as it's the flagship (or at least one of the flagships), but if it only just barebones made it into a demo now how the fuck have they been putting the finishing touches on missions etc that go on inside it?

The idea is that you start of as a navy pilot, so no doubt you'll start the game waking up in your cabin, taking a shit, having a shower, getting changed (toilets, showers and how bad you smell feature heavily in CR's vision of a spaceship shooter game), going for breakfast, going to the briefing room then ship hanger. From there I imagine you will get into your ship after some banter with other pilots and mechanics etc. Then you go out and do patrols, explore fight, skill up and get better ships etc. But how can the Devs have been putting that into a game when they have no working AI, only a handful (if that) of ships that are done, only one partially finished star system, netcode so broken they are currently rewriting it, physics so terrible that simple things like ramps have a high chance of killing you if you in anyway interact with them, no aliens in game (that I'm aware of) etc.

Have I missed a vital blog somewhere that says they are still just polishing off the last few bits or is there just nothing? Has there been a massive fuck up behind the scenes which they are keeping tight lipped about it, and all the talk about how 'open and transparent' CIG are is yet another layer of bullshit on top of an Everest of bullshit.

There's nothing. Even plebbit seems to realize something's wrong.
The game's all about seeing how long they can sell jpegs for, now. There's a lot of 'gameplay' in jpeg sales, actually - CCUs, war bonds, melting, concept sales, etc.. And with the announce of the 600i, the "can't get fooled again" crowd has been masturbating over it for a week, so they've likely still got years of jpegs ahead of them before the wheels fall off like in the gamescom demo.

That's because he basically ditched the only part of the project with promise and that was going anywhere to focus on Star Citizen. Squadron 42 was the original pitch then he baited and switched all the efforts towards Star Citizen.

I have a friend that is completely retarded and thinks this game will actually be playable/released/good one day and has sunk literally thousands of dollars into it. How do I stop him from sinking more? He still wants to spend money on it

Make him promise you something when the game inevitably gets cancelled or "released".

Make him set a final date when he's sure it will be finished. Tell him after that date if he even looks like he's thinking about giving them more money you'll break all his car windows.

So this is where the budget went?
How about allocating any future funds into QA instead?

kek wills it

Their entire plan for that game is "muh cinematic" so they've just been splurging opulent amounts of manchildren's money on B list celebs to record shit dialogue and scan their face. It's probably just going to be a bunch of unskippable mindnumbing dialogue scenes interspersed with missions of the same caliber as will be randomly generated in the multiplayer game

At least it brought back a healthy hatred towards furries.

No, the budget went to CRoberts inner circle (no working at a car dealership this time), custom made automatic doors, a huge mocap studio, celebrities for cutscenes and hundreds of people making barely compatible Crysis mods.

didn't they buy some fucking commercial grade coffee machine

$20k coffee machines and offices that are ridiculously expensive.
