The Star Citizen Thread v5

[1500]

I said there were evac pod's in some ship's not that they are being launched in the game

So, there are no evac pod's in the game. So why did you say otherwise?

Was this part of the "game play" that you talk about being added?

Well I'm sure that's a critical foundation of gameplay for those enjoying hardcore sessions of the "Observer's Guide to Evac Pod jpegs"

 

[CMDR_Orlando]

Ofc there are evac pod's in some ship's, just like there are captain's quarters, bed's, toilet's, mess hall, eva room, cargo room etc.
The big ships in Star Citizen are built to be lived in by a lot of personnel.

Some more stuff from 2.6:

Wonderful!

Where can I download 2.6? Or should I wait for 3.0 from Ben's Launcher?

I assume you have no problem with the leaks from one whom is not Evocatus
Might be worth putting

Spoiler

tags around them since they literally are spoilers

Well if you read those patch notes and played the game since the 2.0 update until now and you still think that's "next to nothing" let me just say that you just don't understand game development

I played all the releases up until the fateful 2.4 patch and I'd have to say up to that point it was next to nothing added (ditched the project with a refund after that). Seeing as how the reports of amazing inclusions, fixes and content isnt exactly lighting up the thread here I'd say they are still adding next to nothing post 2.4

I genuinely don't understand game development I'll admit that. I'm just an ordinary Joe public that plays games backed SC since 2012 until thus year and I was disappointed with the pace and the fluff from CIG. I can't see that changing with the way they seem to conduct themselves.

 

[RhymeRhyme]

FOlka! Stop moaning about SC. You backed a game development and that's wahat you got. An unfinished product.

Tha game is so huge that it will take another 2 years till it's done (v 1.0).

Buying car parts that habe to get assembled means that before that is done you cant drive. Why do people expect anything else with SC. If you dont want do get disappointed for years, stop backi g game development or be happy wirh what you get.

But please stop moaning until you get the final product.

 

[1500]

Anyone remember this? CIG sure does not.

1.2 release. AUGUST 29TH 2015
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14927-Welcome-To-ArcCorp-Star-Citizen-12-Released

The next major update will be Subsumption, which will showcase some of the hard work that’s been going into the development of systems that will allow us to construct environments filled with intelligent NPCs going about their business and that really feels alive. We’ll be aiming to deliver a completely new environment – Nyx – with that release as well. Final Frontier will follow and enable you and your friends to accept some simple missions while planetside and then head out into space together to accomplish them. Quantum will unveil the full-blown solar system navigation map and allow easy access to any part of the current system, including cities on three other Stanton planets: Hurston, Microtech, and Crusader.

Wait! But they promised release even in year 2014, where is the game?!
And after that they missed all other deadlines...
Sure I can agree that after TOS changes in summer they don't need to deliver anything to new backers

You forgot the first rule of SC, CIG has no past. Nothing they have said or done in the past can be talked about or held ageist them. But everything thing they say now is true and right.

 

[Vasea Azure]

And from what we can see there are some issues with the development part. Maybe they should focus on smaller scale and deliver something that works already - game is huge, maybe that the first problem, they try to do EVERYTHING at once and its just not working from what we can see.

 

[Stigbob]

FOlka! Stop moaning about SC.

No. Stop trying to dictate to the internet.

You backed a game development and that's wahat you got. An unfinished product.

No. I never backed, the ship prices sent the needle of my verysuspiciousindeedometer spinning so fast it caught fire.

Tha game is so huge that it will take another 2 years till it's done (v 1.0).

No. The game is only spoken of as being huge currently it's very very wee.

Buying car parts that habe to get assembled means that before that is done you cant drive. Why do people expect anything else with SC.

No. If a garage sold me a car then said they had to wait a year for wheels, then said two wheels was enough and refactored it into a motorbike which I'd have to wait for, then showed me a picture of a segway and said that was better but would cause delays, then offered me roller-skates as an MVP I'd be a bit miffed.

If you dont want do get disappointed for years, stop backi g game development or be happy wirh what you get.

No. I've backed a few games and I'm happy with them all. Star Citizen seems to be massively behind little games such as subnautica, which is also a great example of open development.

But please stop moaning until you get the final product.

No. I don't think the final product will ever exist.

So what's eta for stream?

Roberts talk to the faithful on todays SC stream will sound something like this....

If you would have gotten the game in 2014, it would have been crap. What they aim for is a game that the world hasn't seen so far. I can wait another 2 years if the result is what I think it should be. If they don't deliver then, then they simply messed it up. There's a possibility that the project fails. So, wait and see.

Problem was, there were thousands of people who wanted the space game dream and shoveled millions on the devs accounts. Now they have to wait longer but in the end, the product is 10 times better (if released) as what the 2014 version would have become.

All your replies are nonsense. They do not fit to what I said.

The project is huge, it can fail, they aim for something really big, production is very complicated, maybe the biggest game project in history of gaming, it takes years , ... stay cool and wait. All these complaints are silly. Judge the end product (as I said, if they manage to get it done). Judging work in progress is a waste of time.

That's pretty much the exact opposite of what Chris Roberts said about that exact subject, he said the game would be released in 2014 he also said increased funding and scope would not effect the amount of time it took to release the game.

If you think Chris Roberts is so plainly wrong about that, why do you have faith in his ability, and why are you mad at people who also think he was wrong about that and other things.

All your replies are nonsense.

So I'll assume that there's absolutely no argument you can make against any of them then.

I doubt that they can deliver good game after 2 years, because currently they have just broken tech demo after 4 years of dev time...
maybe after 5 years or never...
also they may run out of money in next 2 years = all dreams over...

Sorry, but that's not true. First of all giving 2014 release year and then saying 'oops, we actually wanted much bigger game' does not compute. It is bait and switch. Another thing is claims that 'it will be better'. That doesn't stand in a way to release SC 1.0 in 2014, then go on improving it. MVP system would have worked perfectly for SC, as it did for ED. Yeah, people moan they don't get full package right out the gate, but those are just uninformed gamers who doesn't have a clue how much work goes into making such huge game. It was quite clear that even at some point it was CIG strategy. And then they got way more money than they needed, and it got best of CR who started to envision SQ42 as interactive movie instead of game. Then it is where it started to unravel.

TLDR those are stupid excuses. It had to come out in 2014, now it's end of 2016. It is 2 years overdue from it's original release date. It's Duke Nukem Forever territory.

There are such things as milestones. You can aim for really big things, but you don't reach them in one swoop. You plan realistically and act accordingly. It is not a game, it is a vanity project, dreamscape. It is fun to lauh at, but frankly, for Berry and other dev's sake, it is getting very sad at this point.

 

[Skizomeuh]

IF

That's the problem. Are they really able to do it when they still struggle to make a simple <<USE>> functionality reliable? From what I saw of 2.6 leaks it changed look but it's still messy and unprecise.

Everyone can have great ideas, Visions™. But making them come to life in a consistent cohesive whole is a hard task. And with their "fluff over substance" approach, I find hard to keep confidence they're capable of building "a game that the world hasn't seen so far", let alone everyone's "what I think it should be".
