Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Hah, so he brings up PES and someone brings up Ark, how its done it for years.

Then he starts getting defensive, asking how many people on an Ark server (answer, up to 100, same as SC, but without the 30Ks), and then asks if Ark persists or cleans up things (server setting, you can change the decay of stuff that is dropped, server periodically saves the world state, so depending on how often you set that determines how much is lost if server crashes, not that it does often - so its not real time backup of stuff, but it hardly matters). So then he switches track and says how SC will have clean up anyway (obviously) because nobody cares if you go back a week later to where you dropped something and its still there.

So basically same as the numpty i argued with on refunds. Starts out how PES is so cool and never been done before and eventually cycles round to it being nothing special and clean up is needed anyway.

These clowns have no idea what they are talking about. They just pull crap from their rear. A common activity for the gulliber.
 
"Likely"

About as likely as my fantasies involving Scarlett Johansson.

Some fine sass in the comments...

I'm genuinely going to go through more than two distinct generations of CPU by the time this thing comes out aren't I Already been through three going four generations of GPU based on the "dressup hangar" alpha release

He's 1, just started to walk so maybe that little guy has a chance of seeing this promisware

Star Citizen the game development simulator

They'll have to change the name to "Star Senior Citizen" by the time it actually releases.

(I must have heard those last two before, but it's been ten years now, so who knows ;))

@golgot - OA gives your video a shout out as well!
They're very popular in general within the veteran SC community as well...for the simple fact that the videos are a window on the unvarnished truth untainted by personal opinion.

I mention veteran backers in particular...since we were actually there and remember all those events (before they became SC memes) through the mists of our dotage...but there's now an entire new generation of summer children standing tall on the wallets of those of us who 'answered the call'...somewhere around the same time as the extinction of the dinosaurs ;)

Yeah, it was funny with Mike who started by saying they were out of context, and then later in his vid he said something like "they are not really out of context"
Mike viewed the vids initially with the same attitude as I did...namely, "Ok...here's another one." Like me, once I started recapping what was said by who and when, it all made perfect sense.

One thing about being a long term backer with SC...we all suffer from a generational memory loss when it comes to it's non development. It's been so interminably long, so many opinions written and read...thousands of videos, a decade of citizen cons and marketing nonsense...as well as critique pieces... viewed and discarded... Once you see the timelines and development discussions direct from the horse's mouth put in front of your eyes in chronological order with @VR Golgot's excellent vid recaps, the memories we all have start to fall into place.

The new summer children don't have any of that, I see it every time I log in and watch the global chat. To them...we're just cynical because we're old...or we don't understand game development :)
