Saw this too:
Janky as usual one could say... But one can also notice that female armors are less efficient.


GOTY 2020!

After all, Half Life's Alyx also struggles to lift a headcrab with only one hand. CIG's synthesis of fidilitious female traits will accelerate them even further over the excellence bar!

See how she daintily places and replaces her feet, expressing her doubtful inner monologue. See how she assays a complicated curve when exiting the ship in her death throes? This clearly shows the extra dexterity that all female models will possess, making up for their inherent feminine vulnerability to bullets.

Meanwhile the male tank takes a simple straightforward death exit in brusque fashion. Chose this build if you want greater durability, but don't mind getting stuck in the occasional door.

Honestly what the ? Was there like a 7 bullet disparity between them there? In fairness it does look like different armour, so that might be the cause.

But could this junk look any more janky either?
 
I know it's easy to get our kicks in (because its people acting like pretentious gits over star citizen), but to me this doesn't look any more worse than the usual self-important streamer, community 'celebrity', or straight up e-sergeant you see in any gaming community.

You may be right, but I'll be honest this is the first video of 'this type' that I've seen and have watched plenty of ED and NMS YouTubers, and this is still a revelation to me, so perhaps I have just been lucky to date.
 
I guess you'll find these near military focused or heavily "serious" competitive games, or the kind that help with e-peen issue?

All those pristine merch hoodies made me giggle!

Not a single LAN party beer stain, scuff from climbing under a overcrowded coffee table to fetch an errant mouse your mate sent flying with an actual backside deathblow, solder burn from fixing an NIC in an emergency, cobwebs from scrambling up into the attic to grab an extra monitor and rig as an unexpected guest arrives.
C'mon now...all of them are way too young to remember LAN parties anyway :D

Like me and a lot of my gaming life, you've probably been lucky.. I was seriously spoiled with the groups I ran with up till about '11, since then I've seen more and more of these groups I'd regard as 'slightly mad'.

I can assure you they do exist in Elite (or at least, did when I used to do Squadron play) and some of the attitudes you're seeing in this video carried over.

Possibly.

Case in point, for anyone who wants a giggle (and particularly Messr Mole)


Steely-eyed e-warriors, one and all.

Oh Arma 3!

I was sooooo looking forward to it, having sunk hour upon hour into Arma 2, building missions, scripting takes offs, landings, airdrops, synchronising music, intro's, out-tro's... omg... I get tumescent just thinking about the sound of an approaching Chinook for exfiltration... (aka doing a 'brave Sir Robin')... and then skidding along over tree tops... music blaring..... dammit boy, ah just lurves the smell of Marmite in the morning... it smells, it smells like... breakfast!

<....breath.... breath.... breath....>

<...one cold shower later...>

Anyway... I loaded it up, messed around for about 70 hours, and erm, decided 'I'd get back to it'. That was 2016. :(

(I know 70 hours is decent, but it's a blink of an eye compared to A2)

It's worth a look again, there's a lot new to the game, even at vanilla.

I see a lot of parallels between the worst of the ArmA Mil-Sim communities and the loudest of the Star Citizen community groups, as it slides slowly towards focusing on military assets.

You took the thought right out of my mind - with all that's current, now seems the perfect opportunity.... just no-one tell Mrs Pilhead.... although with the sub-woofer, there's no way she won't 'enjoy' the Chinook!

Anyone know a good family therapist?

True enough. And i'll happily express my disdain towards any of their ilk.

Strangely enough, i don't think i've really seen anyone like that in relation to ED.
 

At this point, Cloud Imperium needs to just stop looking for money and actually produce something tangible.

They clearly don't understand CR+Fidelity+Money development.

Oooh, the comment section is good for a giggle.

I agree, I have gotten way more out of SC than almost any other game. The development is coming along great these days.

You really have to wonder what these people were playing before.... Solitaire? Horace Goes Skiing? Minesweeper? ET the Extraterrestial?

I payed like 40 bucks for access to a game that has been consistently updating and improving with a clear roadmap and regular milestones being reached.

Hahaha, saying that not long after one of CIGs main people actually said the roadmap was useless.

And wow... some of them are really badly informed about a number of things...

Please understand this: Star Citizen is a completely different game than nearly everything in existence. It is on a larger scale than its competition, it is COMPLETELY crowd funded, and it fills a very specific niche for a game than many players have been asking for ever since before it's development started.

The game is produced by a company that was created literally by the money he made from the investors interested in the said game's pitch. Chris Roberts produced movies prior to this and his only game was nothing compared to the scale of the Star Citizen project. RSI was built around making this one game.

It is going to take the development team a lot of time to produce this and do it right. It is going to take a lot of money to do the same. So please, before sharing your "insight" with the world, delve deeper into the background and actually try out the game. (The alpha is open and playabale, assuming you have a capable computer and internet speed)

First its dreams are on a larger scale, but that's the only thing that is larger scale. What is actually implemented is a lot less than many games. It is not completely crowd funded..... they are not aware of the Calder investment?

He has zero idea of CR's history at all. He thinks CR only produced one game before?

He also seems to have no real concept of just how much work remains to release even an MVP that won't get trashed.

There's been more than a few. You may remember the 'Rise to Power' competition and the drama/self-import that generated.

I'm fairly sure that EDF chap who came on the forums all the time was similar to this too.

The modus operandi in this topic has been for years to find the weirdest or lamest star citizen supporter and pretend that is representative of them all so we can all chant 'cult cult cult!'. I dont even get the issue,; if a bunch of people want to geek out in a game or dress up like a viking or whatever, who cares? At this point it is basically just publicly shaming people because you have an axe to grind with some has-been game dev whose projects you don't like.
