Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

[Firkrayt]

Sorry guys, I've skipped 10 pages discussing fun. Because in any post about fun you can replace SC (or alpha) with Hoop Rolling and it still will be valid.

As an example, my favorite poster:

Yes. Me, my friends, the corpo I play with, and a lot of other testers I've met in the ...

... Hoop Rolling, we have 'established' that the Hoop Rolling is fun.

Yeh!
We're dem smart morons we!

Can I be one stupid sandwurmie instead, pretty please?

Source?

90 days tops right?

 

[Firkrayt]

Nah, let Sony do it and make it a Playstation exclusive.

Best let Nintendo buy it and make SC a Switch exclusive.

Maybe it’s because Chris has been guilty of such egregious mis-selling that his fall would seem like natural justice. And might limit the perpetual continuation of the same?

(And hey, who doesn’t love the melodic clang of karma dropping onto some deserving head? )

Maybe it’s because some would like to see the PU actually delivered, Freelancer style, rather than just being ridden off into the distance in a haze of dreams?

Maybe it’s because people just can’t take their eyes off of this...?

Not sure why it bothers you so much. Just go have fun in the ‘verse

That’s a lot of maybes

 

[Skizomeuh]

Or Ouya 2 exclusive?

lol, no, just trying to understand where you got your sources?

I think Microsoft are only looking for successful game studios with released IP's. Ci¬G is on it's own...for better or worse

Aside from Elder Scrolls 6, I wonder if Starfield is another big reason why Microsoft is acquiring Zenimax (Bethesda's parent company).

Doesn't bode well for SC if it's true.

Bethesda's overhauling its engine for Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6

Starfield will have the “largest engine overhaul” for Bethesda since Oblivion.

I'm not sure even Atari would touch it

 

[Vetinari]

The 'Oblivion' referred to being that period in 2015 yes?

I just don’t get the obsession here, they are doing their thing, so be it, are you guys really that burned on getting the game?

Why do you keep popping in here and asking that same question? It has been answered.

Last time you didn't answer my question: When taking hundreds of millions of dollars from backers on a kickstarted MMO project, how many years is it OK to go without getting two servers to share state?

I don’t think MS management reads this thread . Anyway, there is no need for a buyout, CIG has more than enough cashflow. I just don’t get the obsession here, they are doing their thing, so be it, are you guys really that burned on getting the game? There are a lot of different options out there which are superior according to most of the specialists here, why not play them?

Sure, as long as backers keep the funding going, CIG continue to exist. If backers stop buying spaceships though, then CIG will be living on borrowed time. How many more ships can CIG sell to backers? Its an important question.

However, i think you totally missed the whole point of my post, which was a joke reference to two things:

1) What happened to CR with the development of Freelancer

2) Backers disparaging big publishers combined with trying to spin everything as being good for Star Citizen.

 

[VR Golgot]

That’s a lot of maybes

There are a lot of good reasons to mock SC. It’s hard to chose between them ¯\(ツ)/¯

 

[Agony_Aunt]

They would pick it up even without a successful release if it had promising technological capabilities or advances to offer......

So... that's a no then?

 

[ArAsH]

lol, no, just trying to understand where you got your sources?

Same place where most of the guys here get their sources

 

[Dooguk]

That’s a lot of maybes

Oh! the irony.

gasps Derek Smart!

I like the discussion. You guys keep saying the same things too for the last few years, so why not.
Bout last time, you asked the same question to everyone saying something positive about SC. I don’t care, there, that’s my answer. Now stop skipping your record.

I am asking you. Would you like to answer or prefer to give it a pass?

Sure are, but it’s still in alpha

There is a funding page on the site, they have more than 500 employees, they are still running. That’s a better guesstimate than the bull manure we read here.
