True again, but the visuals at least are real enough to gawp over. I just wonder how much network traffic the damage model generates (or can be compressed down into) and if CiG will have to row back further. From playing Warframe and a Railjack on fire its fun having chaos around you.

That last post of mine went well went down well... Apologies to the mods
Every day is Sunshine Day in these forums
I think I read back in the real 'Early Days' that Game Star bought some exclusive access back in the day (tried to find evidence but failed so far). If that's accurate, it adds more reasons to why they don't want to be too critical. I once saw a video where the only really critical thing they said was along the lines of "now let's see if they can deliver, not only promise".
I can only remember a video or 2 early on...when Gamestar interviewed Chris Roberts in an exclusive at a games conference. It was back in 2016 when the will it/won't it release saga of Sqn 42 all began.
First one I can recall was back at E3 in 2013...
Then again at Gamescom in 2016.

we celebrate sunshine when its sunny....if its dark and rainy
Didnt read that myself but from what they write its entirely possible. Could as well be that as a gaming magazine you cant be "too harsh" on games or possibly lose early access on coming titles. Thats a trend I observed for many years tho and the main reason why I stopped trusting what these outlets write. Back before the times of the internet they were pretty much the only source of info about upcoming titles but nowadays I find much of the relayed data inaccurate, outdated and too often biased or too careful.
Star Citizen articles are often opinion pieces and possibly biased. From the shill to the hit pieces even the articles are "extreme" for the followers. Its next to impossible to stay neutral or impartial in this topic.
Best bet for news is various forums today in combination with life streams. Which one isnt really important, the actual gameplay or content doesnt vary with SC haters and shills alike. One of these is purely theoretical, the other is the evidence based footage for it. I prefer certain SC streamers due to their "personal touch" but I consume pretty much the same content then people watching BoredGamer...or rather the lack thereof

I suspect Ci¬G cheated a bit on the ship mass thing. It seems very likely that it's the player avatar that adds mass to the ships....not only evidenced in that vid, but the reclaimer...a truly massive edifice of a ship, used to rise up on it's landing gear the second you stepped off the elevator. It rose up so much that it raised the elevator so far above the ground level you couldn't get back in it.
Here's me stuck outside mine...before I melted it for something not so broken.
That would also explain that video the guy watches the wind blow his ship away.
... And why misstepping on a staircase is deadly.
But why and how? Don't tell me crayons are using international metrics when typewriters are in Imperial units?!? NOT AGAIN!!!?

Wasn't it the 2016 interview where they actually asked him about a 1.0 release and CR quipped what do you mean 1.0? We have 3.0 coming out soon!
If you go to PC Gamer or some such you see daily articles about this or that irrelevant in-development game which is just shuffled press statements plus some "I can't wait too see this!" padding. Gaming journalism, especially for minor titles, died ages ago. If it ever existed.
Not saying it is a good thing, just saying it ain't SC specific.
Yes, but those aren't BDSSE we were promised. Not even close. I just want to fly my spaceship in a proper game, but I can't do that. All I can do is to buy an Idris.I really like the vids with crayons
Honestly, it seems hard to do though. It's incredibly hard to keep on top of all those Steam releases. You'd need a team to cover some nieche genres. And this in a time where everyone expects everything to be free. The only way to stay afloat is probably to get paid for pieces like that.
Arithmetic tier 1.
Integer overflow tier 10!
It was another vid...another Gamestar one but at a different event during 2016, possibly Citizencon. It was after the announcement that Sqn 42 wasn't going to appear that particular year. They caught up with CR outside the venue and asked the question.

He's gone beyond such petty concerns as "particular year" or "release date." Chris Roberts is now a creature of pure energy and intelligence with no shape or form. No wonder he hasn't popped up on a video stream since last year! Those things are hard to light.
He doesnt need to appear "in" the video, he IS the video!
