Is that supposed to mean anything, or are you just trying to drag this thread off-topic? Derek Smart cannot possibly have been criticising Star Citizen 15 years ago - which is what is being discussed. And no, he isn't responsible for the criticism of the way the project has developed - Chris Roberts is. Roberts is responsible for the endless freature creep, not smart. Roberts is responsible for the missed deadlines, not Smart. Roberts is responsible for the ludicrous levels of hype, not Smart. And when the project fails to meet the ridiculous levels of expectation of the fanbase - which it must, since they are simply unachievable - it will be Roberts who will take the blame. Not Smart.

Naah - Genuine Roberts will simply state that X wasn't up to his expectations because 3rd party Y wasn't up to scratch at delivering his "vision".

There'll be a few mumblings about "fidelity" and the "most ambitious project ever", then they'll get SG to cry a bit. Ben Lenslock will do some of his famous acting, there will be a new concept ship announced, and they'll hold a competition to see who can buy the most Idrises in 48 hours.

Off topic?
Man, this thread has been off topic since "the Star Citizen Thread v3"! I'm amazed that no one has closed it yet, or at least changed its name to "The Chris Roberts naysaying thread" to reflect what this thread is really about.

So discussion of Star Citizen in a Star Citizen thread is 'off-topic'? Yeah right...

I don't see anyone discussing about SC here. I just see the same 4-5 people trying to spread bad made up propaganda about a game developer rather than discuss about an upcoming video game.

Made up propaganda such as…?

Oh, and: everyone knows why Derek has it in for Chris. It's only been a year, after all, and it's not like it happened behind the scenes.

Join the mod team then you can close the thread! Do you think sataball will be showcased at CCON? I wonder what the player cap will be? Will it have the scoreboard and proper team colours and so on?

No idea, really. What i'm more interested is on seeing what they got about the game mechanics for different roles. You know, in the current PTU there are just three or four kind of missions. But 3.0 is supposed to bring in more diverse ways of earning credits in the game. And then there is all the semi-procedural (or whatever you want to call it) planetary stuff. I want to see how far can they push the detail on a whole planet.

Sataball... well, it may be nice when you want to do something different than piloting a ship, but i don't really see it as being the main gameplay reason why anyone could get SC.

Did you quote the wrong post, or does the "all but made up" doesn't mean what I think it means (which in my non-native speaker's opinion is "the controversy isn't made up")?

You're probably confusing two very similar phrases that, just to be annoying, are pretty much each others' opposites.

All but = very close to, but not quite.
Anything but = almost as far away from as possible.

Thus, all but made up = pretty much made up, whereas anything but made up = definitely not made up.

Yup I know "the other game" has had to ride out criticism for having a passenger ship with no missions. If CiG have already sold people a mining ship it might be good for their credibility to have even a rudimentary mining game loop.

Also if 3.0 has anything approaching flora that will be a procedural bird's feather in their cap.

So my knowledge of English language needs some refactoring, I'll be back in two weeks with a Kickstarter campaign.

That "someone" was, in fact, dsmart himself. Which is in fact the brain behind all the made up Star Citizen controversy.
He has been claiming that CIG is out of funds for years now, yet they are still rolling.

Perhaps it became a sort of self-defeating prophecy where the people who were offended by Smart's predictions and criticisms of the game decided to throw even more money at is just to spite him.

About this, i think both are confused. I said "bad made up propaganda" I mean, bad propaganda which is made up.
Maybe i should have written a comma there so it read "bad, made up propaganda". Sorry for the confusion guys. My fault.

And my point was it's that a lot of criticism of CIG is neither propaganda, nor made up.

Sounds more like an indiegogo kind of deal. :p

Oh, no. I understood you. I just want to know what this supposed bad made-up propaganda is supposed to be.
