Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Ooops, looks like you were a little premature.
And that is what i often talk about when it comes to the faithful.
You can't have an open, honest, and polite conversation with these people.
Good for you.
It would have been a pity that your post remained unanswered while you had to spend time writing it.

Why not? He/she was only expressing an opinion...same as you were. You posted a comment with the sole intent of provoking a certain type of response and you got one. 🤷‍♂️

You're welcome, but my post was aimed at the video author, not at a random fan. The fact that i expected such a response didn't mean it was hoped for, merely expected.

It's YouTube, all the comments are open to replies...whether you agree with the content of them or not. Personally, I thought your comment was pure bear baiting of the finest order. I promote you to Chief Fudster, effective immediately :D

Literally the easiest, most noob friendly mission and the "starter" ship cannot do it.
Everyone knows that you need to spend at least $70+tax to have fun in SC.

What? You thought this was your run of the mill pay for the game and that's it? Maybe SC is not for you. Pleb.
 
Oh, and a SC player leaving (at least temp) to return to their other space sim (which will go unnamed).


On the one hand, massive wall of text that i find hard to even understand what his real issues are with SC. But the community of course also picking up on that and rather that replying to his points just ragging on him for the length of his post.
Usually, when I think of the term “wall of text,” I picture a run-on sentence writ large. That post, on the other hand, was well formatted, where each point was its own paragraph, and each paragraph included an intro sentence, the body of the point, and a summary (where applicable).

Basically, his issue with Star Citizen was that setting up his HOTAS and the justice system are needlessly opaque, and CIG really should hire a technical writer to create a manual for the game, so that people could read it. Ironically, this is one area where the standard SC defense, "It's ALPHA!!1!" is actually appropriate: you don't write a game's manual (assuming you do that these days) until all the features are in, balanced, and in their final form: i.e. just before release.

I say ironically, because this describes about 90% of CIG's work to date, and Chris "make that pixel blue" Roberts management style to date. He obviously has no problems with artists redoing their work over and over and over again because the game isn't in the state where they should do their work. Given how he pads is company size with such artists, you'd think hiring a technical writer or two to keep that manual up to date would be right up his alley.

Especially given his current "playable now" narrative.

Indeed they are, but one can hope no?

But Chief Fudster? Well, i accept!

I'd like to take this moment to thank my friends and family for their support. Special thanks to the goons and Derek Smart, without which, things wouldn't been as half as hilarious.
 
I've said it before, it's the end of an era. SC doesn't need to be defended anymore. Your post is lost among positive ones, it's a curiosity, something from the past.

PS: Meant to say this earlier, you know backers have been doing victory laps around the skeptics since at least 2014. Predictions of CIG's imminent success, the downfall of the skeptics.

Hasn't happened yet, but the predictions are always fun, especially to look back on 5 or more years later ;)

Enough talk, Fudster! You've long enough pestered this town and it just ain't big enough for the two of us. Pick up this box and place it on your bed or I'll throw my bottles at your head!

I could of course say the reverse...but I won't. 90 days tops :D

CIG's imminent success >>> no

downfall of the skeptics >>> yes and only due to EDO's release. The more vocal ones were often ED players. With the release of EDO, we hear them far less than before. A part of them can't use anymore a whole bunch of their arguments against SC (buggy alpha, poor framerate, CIG doesn't fulfill expectations, etc) without seeing them applied also to EDO. Another part of them like and play SC now and stopped beeing skeptics. And another part of them who loved to mock SC for the fun have simply lost the desire to do it after the debacle of EDO and aim their energy toward FDEV.

Also the fact that some well known ED players (that are not the evil biased SC streamers) just have shown to a lot of skeptics that SC have gameplay, can be enjoyable and be played without giving more than 45 € to CIG, transforming those skeptics gamers to neutral gamers.

The amount of skeptics will not regenerate by itself. It is only dismishing patch after patch. You can see it here you are far less numerous than before to post.

Wishful thinking. I'm still here and I've castigated ED's crappy looty gameplay just like I did with cash grabbers unfulfilled hype that is SC.

Derek was always good for a laugh and making predictions that failed to come true.

I made some predictions years ago that also failed to come true.

Circa 2015-2016 i was posting on reddit saying that SC wouldn't release until 2020.

The faithful called me a FUDster and much worse.

And boy, do i have egg on my face! I was way too optimistic!
