Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

This still does not make sense unless your goal is to shill for SC or you were actually in CIGs payroll directly or indirectly. If a console player that wants to play EDO decides to buy a PC why wouldn’t he play EDO?
Of course it doesn't make sense. I predicted we'd get the exact same dumb argument out a week ago when the bad news went out from FD.
 
There is a client hardware budget limitation they work towards, they talked about this in the last Calling All Devs, the difference between what they would like to do and the reality of what the hardware can reasonably render.

Having said that CIG are different to most game developers in that most game developers aim for consoles, CIG are making a desktop exclusive game where the hardware is much more powerful, So Star Citizen will never run on an Nvidia 1050TI, even with the lowest settings, but at a minimum it will run on a GTX 1070 or even a 6GB GTX 1060, that's a mid range GPU from 2016, i don't think that is unreasonable.

Its also ever evolving, it looks very different today vs how it looks now, it is also a live test environment, they are testing the limits of what they can do graphically, as an example the planet tech is on its 3'rd major face lift, the overall graphical quality is improved little by little from patch to patch to patch.... some time its hardly even noticeable, but it is there.

This is what it looked like in 2016, its Port Olisar, that's the Gas Giant Crusader and the ship is the Agis Gladius. i liked the way it looked and sounded back then, it had a certain charm to it.

This is why as long as the whales keep giving them money the game will never be released.

Nonsense: What would make them more money? A buggy alpha widely regarded as a scam because it's not released, or an actual working and released game. Or are the devs working their damn a**es off for nothing?

I can play this game too! What would make more money, a jpg of a badly drawn monkey widely regarded as a scam, or getting a job at a game dev studio where they crunch your backside off on a project that'll never actually see the light of day and you have nothing to show for it on your next job application?
 
You skip the part where it's a horribly buggy alpha...
You skip the part where the alpha is not as buggy as you think and clearly enjoyable for a lot of gamers.
Keep thinking that the alpha is unplayable for everybody if you want, it's just not true. And posting videos of more than 10 hours to show how the game is unplayable is weird. How can you spend so much time in an unplayable game ? Because it is playable and enjoyable in fact.

CIG actually doesn't have a big crunch culture at all.

Nostradamus, is that you?

Tell that to the people at Valve who have never shipped a game in their entire time there, which is often the case for people that have worked there for over 10 years, lol.

Nobody works their rear off at Scam Sitinsens. They have relaxed job there when we look at the amount of deliveries over the past 10 years. They have realised that promising nonsense keeps the fantasies overheat and make people spend their cash. It's like a church where they collect money for salvation. Some bogus promise and the people go crazy ridding themselves of cash.

Wow, didn't know you worked there! Are you even allowed to share all of this without breaching NDA?

Ask them

Not only should they port, but they MUST port. If they cut off so many dedicated players their existence as a company may be at stake, as the backlash may sour too many people on future FDEV products. I've put in too much time to enjoy Elite as I do on PS4 to have to start over with a new character, losing my standings, Community goal modules, etc. I don't want to rediscover the 50 earth-like worlds I have in the Galaxy, or have no accounting of my DW02 participation, etc.
If Frontier doesn't port my game, sure I'll buy a gaming PC, but only to play Star Citizen or Flight Simulator; Elite will die for me.
Elite Dangerous is officially dead to me with the latest news. If I buy a PC I’m going for Star Citizen. FDev failed me and a lot of other people and they are liars. They could had easily said this months ago

Oh sure you totally can.

You just tend to end up frothing with rage if you do ;)

A striking rage quit from Ender...

(Lol, goes on to improvise a sad song to 'beautiful terrible SC' ;))

"This game is such a punch in the face"

All those examples highlighting a guy there who absolutely loves Star Citizen.

I mean he really really loves it...

Until he absolutely hates it...

Because it's still a buggy alpha ;)

Well to me this rant is like one heard from one of my friends. Guy has voted all his life certain right-conservative party, and when said party was in government and did something my friend did not like he said "This is it, next time I'm voting the communists!". Well after election day I asked that did you vote the communists? Nope. Same old party...
 
You skip the part where you can play the game. No need to wait.


That's not logic. I read it from console ED players. Some were waiting the EDO experience on console. As this experience will not come and they have no other alternative choice on console, they plan to get a PC but will use it to play SC instead of ED.
Some also talk about the fact that transfering your account from console to PC will make you loose a big part of what you have grinded (engineer) and they don't have the will to do it again and prefer testing something new with SC.
Or the fact that some guys think that it's the start of the end for ED and prefer to invest their time on something that seems to have a future.

Oh another mass exodus huh Ant?

Honestly, this is right up there with the most manurified nonsense you've come out with.....

"They are getting a PC but not for ED just for SC"

<does some quick maths>

Total outlay about 5-10K for all of em then and they are fine with that are they?

GPUs are getting cheaper, Drew runs SC pretty lag free with a 1070, you don't need an ultra high end PC for Star Citizen, at all, lol. A normal $800 gaming PC will be able to run it just fine once prices come down a little more.
 
An incredibly fun buggy alpha!
