Good lord, reminds me of laggy games where the animation would execute and the grenade count diminish after a couple of secs. Sometimes you'd even see grenade fly but no cigar.
Putting aside my point about house rules (beloved by a lage chunk of the ED community as whole) How is RP (something regarded as great for the most part by this forums community) now be bad?
Oh, we're talking about Star Citizen.
I shall now go purchase an 1dRi5 from Crobbers.
We told the sarge there were cannons. In enfilade position. He wouldn't listen. They hit all but one of us. Ever seen a server full with 100 ppl say "GG" at the same time?...
Tbh, I am inclined to agree a bit. Because there's no actual roleplay, unless Rexzilla roleplays a drill sergeant. The issue I see with this is that Star Citizen doesn't have much of its own lore that's worthy of roleplaying - you can try to roleplay a lot in Trek, SWars, history, etc (and I say this even disliking many of these RPs for various reasons, but I still can't deny they can be played out), but in Star Citizen you fall back to historical / contemporary military roleplay and it shows - it's just ArmA (with bad engine and mechanics) in shiny suits and they know it and desperately trying to find something to differentiate, while failing.
LOL. I've been there. It's why I don't play M&B anymore (or if I did, it'd have to be a regiment of 'sensible' folk like me)
Me: "Enemy Cav left of axis forming up!"
Silence
Me: "They're charging!"
Squeaker Sgt: "NO TALKING IN THE RANKS!!!!!"
Regiment Massacred and colours taken
Squeaker Sgt: "NO ONE WARNED ME ABOUT THE CAV!"
I like to think they're all foppish young lads like the cannon-fodder officers in Sharpe
It's why groups like this tend to stick to their own prearranged events, and it acts as weird self-policing.
Using M&B Napoleonic for example, if you had a group full of people who were breaking ranks, firing in the charge or generally not playing to the rule of the night, the 'Regiment' (as they were called) would self-police and cull people like that from their groups, because otherwise they as a group wouldn't be re-invited.
I'd agree, its why as I've said prior in this thread (for the most part) I've left that kind of gaming behind me (I don't need some grizzled 12 yr old E-sgt squeaking at me quotes he's learnt from Generation Kill), however that's not what was being said here.
What is being said is that in the video, despite it being a cornerstone of our own gaming community here, and throughout many communities (I remember harrassing people with my squadmates to see their ID's on the streets of Tatooine as a Stormtrooper in Star Wars Galaxies), roleplay is a bit sad and desperate. Because Star Citizen.
As I've said a few times, I think we're misconstruing what they're saying which is that the mainstream gaming community will snap it up and buy it on release, as well as folk like myself sat on the fence, and I'm not a massive Chris Roberts fanboy but they may have a point (note the stress on may) when you consider how 'mainstream' by the standards of it's time Wing Commander 3 was.
…which, again, was not relevant to the comment we're talking about since he wasn't part of that discussion — no amount of image macros will make it so. How are these things so hard for you to understand? You keep circling back to that irrelevant point and can't even comment on the fact that you keep pointing fingers and then refusing to own the nonsense you spout.

…which, again, wasn't the point. The point was that he once again went off on one of his bashing sprees against posters in the thread, calling them out on a behaviour that only exists in his head. He keeps doing this and then refuses to acknowledge what he's doing or backing up what he says, to the point where it just becomes blatant trolling and abuse. Indeed, when called out on it, he just doubles down on the generalisations and windmill-chasing.
