I seem to recall the stock response was something like "I've got the $45 starter pack which is enough for me to have fun. I'm only here to force you to examine your position..." or was that bri?

In fairness to Orlando he did say having a "BIT" of fun.
A bit of fun amongst a plethora of crashes, slow downs, and other jankiness is to be reasonably expected with SC in its current state. Even I can laugh and have fun with nipple jetting
Given how much some people have shelled out in hard currency, the state the game is in currently is seriously embarrassing. 130 MILLION dollars later, there is still no game as such. How much was originally thought to be sufficient? Roughly a quarter of that, if memory serves me right.
I'm amazed how people continue to give up their readies for this. TWO THOUSAND dollars for a JPEG? A ship that will be available later on for in-game money? Imagine the outrage if FD announced a new ship, say, the Bushmaster, and demanded two hundred quids for it (which is very little, compared to the sums charged for SC frigates, mind you...). Nope. I'm definitely staying away from this.
Say whatever you want to, but this begins looking to me like a snowball scheme. The overhead of having so many employees (400?) is costing them a great deal of money as it is, every month. Small wonder they are constantly asking for more cash. Combine this with their constant promises and "videos" which are supposed to show-case what they are working on, and I get downright depressed.
I won't hold my breath for this to be finished. Personally, I'd be surprised if anything even resembling what they announced was released in 2019 . . . and I'd be pleasantly surprised if it contained half of what was originally promised.

Oh, newtonian!
I remember the first demo of Arena Commander, CR exclaimed "You wanted newtonian, you got it!" - and this was in reference to the awful "de-coupled" mode, where newtonian supposedly means travelling in a straight line while being able to change pitch, roll and yaw, with a bit of strafing.
Not exactly my idea of newtonian, but then the coupled (managed) mode was so bad and slip-slidey it was beyond sucky.
OK, that's all water under the bridge, and I am hoping 2.6 can obliterate the awful memories

And replace them with all new awful memories.
I have always felt that the problem CIG had was they did not know what they wanted the FM to be. They keep saying realistic, but what CR really means by that is full blown arcade. So we ended up with something in-between that sucked at either. It is almost like CR does not actually know what he wants and has no idea what he is doing.

Yeah I think it's called a parody and they were even featured in the TopGear website for it!

As for Voyager Direct I don't think Amazon would care about it but good luck with that lol
It had, and similarities with SC's can't be unseen.

that's an uncomfortable watch after all the wow at the fideliteh of the planetary tech. still looking good - even in such a fuzzy video
Without a doubt, the most likely outcome!

I actually enjoyed playing that.
Along with the helicopter missions/segments in CoD: BLOPS, and the Jackal missions in CoD: IW - the "flight" bits actually fit in within the context of the game, and don't stray away from the core gameplay of an FPS. Yes the flight models are sucky compared to a "proper" flight or space sim, but then they don't claim to be anything other than FPS games with these elements added in.
That was Bri. With the end of year looming and 3.0 fairly sure not to be out by then, it's curious indeed that there is no sign of him 'reexamining' his position like he promised
I did too. And loved the zero G level. I get to the same point as you (in bold) and I basically question the amount of work CIG pretended to have done with the FM, FP, physics, apart from breaking Cryengine's stock components to make them worse (though I concede their physics grids have potential yet buggy).

Just had to steal this from over at SA.
Apparently, in a new bid to deliver unprecedented levels of fidelity, CIG has forgotten how a shirt works…
Buttons sit on the right side, guys, and go through holes on the left. If you glue the shirt closed, you don't really need buttons to begin with. Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to close the jacket up.

Hahaha great spot. I was too busy bugging out at the terrible animation - you could see a huge amount of effort had gone in but the end result was seriously Meh and not stand-out at all.

Let's hope they didn't use Imaginarium for this! So much money and time wasted in such useless and cheesy material.
Don't be silly. Of course they did.
Indeed - I'd be stunned if they didn't.
For me it bears all the tracks of being over engineered. Animators can produce lovely smooth mostly natural looking movement all day long, something stopped them.
Agreed.
Here's the rub with this...that only a modern married man would know. Women's shirts button opposite to mens. Maybe the guy is a Tranny in the picture and he's too tight to buy new mens stuff so just wears his women's garb.
