...just think of all the fidels you can make with that much gut.
The most absurd thing I found today:
(They wrote it a few times, months apart, so possibly true ¯\(ツ)/¯ )
(They wrote it a few times, months apart, so possibly true ¯\(ツ)/¯ )
That list is accurate but missing a few points, here are some, OTOH:
- AI is brain dead, on both sides (guards or attackers). They will often stand still in the open and look at each other or the player, doing nothing. Guards will run right in the line of fire without any warning, Quake-like sudden movements not helping at all here. Even if all the other point would be magically solved (and they wont, but let's imagine for one instant) this would still be a total jank fest because of that.
- Spawn closets are in the player accessible area, which means they'll pop up suddenly, if you think you've cleaned an area think again, they'll pop up in your back and for THAT time only immediately shoot at you.
- Damage does not register across "moving map" changes
- Grenades suffer from the broken physics engine AND broken networking and as a result are more like suicide implements rather than weapons
- Expanding point 8, when the mission gets cancelled with no warning and you shoot at an enemy you get a crime stat of course, and then both sides shoot at you (and then you end up in prison).
- At one point we went as a group of 2 players, none of us had a crime stat, but guards did shoot at us (and attackers too) leading to a really quick fail and trip to prison. Probably the mission didnt register for one of us.
How long long until the average player gives up? The average SC seems to eat more crap than any other - but that might just because idiots are more persistent in playing and posting. I cant imagine many sticking - maybe dozen hours or two?
That is a working game. The design is debatable but you don't crash all the time or have bugs delete something you did.Don't ask me, i've sunk thousands of hours into ED

Nothing either groundbreaking or working as intended except assets
Assets
Waste of time & money remaking assets that have been a waste of time & money. Assets that will be refactored in 5 years, again.
Probably lore assets icing on top of a yet to design foundation.
Barely functional assets added on an already mile high pile of barely functional assets
The lack of any SQ42 was pointed out on Spectrum - and it does seem weird it gets barely a mention. And no Chris keynote either.
There is nothing there. That's why they trying to keep it under the rug for the public event - it'd be unfavourable questions being asked that can ruin the whole schmaltz show that is meant to lull the sheep.
Remember the narrative. Progress on SC is slow because all efforts are going into SQ42.
The fact they don't have anything to say about SQ42 is rather telling.
This makes me sad. I've missed the annual wheels coming off.
Perhaps he's planning to reveal and play SQ404 as part of a Christmas live stream.
What could possibly go wrong.
Never been done (successfully) before (by this bunch of bozos).
As some kind of Tim Burton reenactment? What was the name of that animated movie again?
Nightmare before Christmas.
I gave up when the installer broke.
