Star Citizen Discussion Thread v11

OK, my MP romance remark was coasting the edge. It was inspired by DayZ force-feeding mechanic. I'd like to not see any kind of this power fantasy gameplay in MP. But that's how it goes, isn't it? You make some gameplay and then find out players use it for abuse and griefing. I don't think experienced designers are immune to this happening - I do think however that when stuff is just cobbled together with inexperienced staff it's prone to happen.

Can't wait for the emergent food poisoning gameplay.

Ahh, just like in Space Station 13, classic

Goes right alongside the Chief Floor Mopper career!

While they are fantasizing about this role, do they even consider for the moment exactly the wasted dev time it would require to flesh out such a role for the 3 or 4 people who might actually want to do this sort of thing?

I loathe survival mechanics. I faff about in most games at my own pace - yes, including Doom which is counter-productive tbh. ED's fuel mechanic I can work with. NMS drove me up the wall once it turned into a $%^"&£$ing base-building game.

Are CIG making me go to the toilet every 4 in-game hours, or for added immersion, every 15 minutes after contracting space diarrhea? Manually cleaning your spacesuit if you miss the timing sounds good.

Exactly what i want to do in a space ship game. Chef simulator.

After all this recent"Corona-pandemic"world wide events we can only assume that is just a matter of time when Croberts going to implement infectious diseases into the SC...

That "onboard chef simulator" is another cultist dream though, didnt see any indication that CiG would go in that direction..

Might've missed some stuff, then:

Is this the game to let me open up my dream Starship fly-up fast food resteraunt Starco-Bell?

Get ready for a food truck variant of the news van ship.

While ED has the Fuel Rats and the Hull Seals, SC will need Food Pigs, delivering food to those who are starving. As long as they can get to them before their immersion timer expires!

 

[Mr_Zeno]

Give it a few days for Cig to announce they have hired Heston Blumenthal so they can motion capture a chef... which to my knowledge involves standing around swearing and ringing for service.

I only skipped through that, but was it really 10 hours of rendering 4 different foodstuffs in slightly different ways?

Damn y'all. Proc gen eggs were a joke.

Like, a really bad one, because it was indistinguishable from all of Chris's other bad cinematic-fidelity and tech-kleptomania. But it was still a joke.

Spoiler

The worm was not a joke

 

[dayrth]

Ah...Now I see the date the video was posted.

Incoming message: "Captain Gordon R3xzill4 Ramsey wants you to join his org."

No, the person they really need his Gordon Ramsay!

"THIS ALPHA IS ---ING RAW!"

There is no such thing as enough fidelity tho.

 

[Asp Explorer]

There is no such thing as enough fidelity tho.

I fully expect CI-G to implement procedurally generated fidelities at all seven levels of the Bristol Stool Chart.

Over on the SC sub there is a long term (as in original backer) whale going into full meltdown over the new survival mechanic.

He claims to have sold all his stuff on the grey market (the SC_trades sub seems to confirm this).

The most amusing part is the other hardcore backers saying to him the same things he used to say to people who were critical.

The worm has turned.

Maybe the spaghetti can fit the gap between the fibre and the rack?

Mothman? He's ostracized now. No going back.

You're a grown up when you realize you paid for a "dream" that no longer exists but was only set so you'd spent for it so CIG can procrastinate until they invent new dreams for a new batch of fresh backers who'd pay for them with fresh money so CIG can procrastinate until they invent new dreams for a new batch of fresh backers...
