I know this is slightly off topic. But thought it was relevant within the context of that recent post suggesting this thread is just "hate", or those posts suggesting that over at the CIG forums when Elite is discussed things are less "hatey". Well:

https://forums.robertsspaceindustri...genuinely-curious-about-star-citizen-vs-elite

"Hate" or similar about Elite has always been, and still is, very much present over at the CIG forums. Which, imo, is something perfectly normal and natural in game communities with clear preferences. One of these kind of threads always pops up every other week and gets dumped and katamaried into the the Elite thread behind a pay wall at the CIG forums. And also often times, "haters" simply troll the Elite thread direct.

It is also true there are many players owning both games in both forums/threads, including this one, and it is only natural that each personal preference is stated. The main difference in the content discussed in the Elite CIG thread and this one is often related to to the stage of development in both games though. In one the discussions are about actual released features and content, balancing etc. While in the other, still lacking most of those, the discussion is more about the actual development process.

Now, Yaffle, feel free to delete this OT post! :)

OMG. That thread is just people that obviously never played ED and give a round of BJ to each other, basically dissing the last four years of development of... the other space game that's not SC.

I had to add my two pence to that thread, I felt it lacked a little reality and common sense regarding "grind" when it comes to having real money sales of ships long before the product is released. :D

Mostly they simply are putting up their dreams and promises vs actual gameplay.

"SC is starting to sway some of there fan base,finally realising that SC is a real thing and not a scam as some believe.

plus frontiers forums are full of the same 15 people on a daily basis that defend all thrown at the game like real nutjobs."

But how cool would a (proper) "Day of the Triffids" movie be?
PS: I always felt that 28 Days later largely drew inspiration from Day of the Triffids...

I recently watched the Day of the Triffids BBC series from the seventies again, having just re-read the book and I'd forgotten just how good they both are. However compare the BBC's Hitchhikers series and the awful movie for an example of hollywood getting it totally wrong.

I'd like to see war of the worlds get the hollywood treatment, with Kenneth Brannah making the book faithful Victorian version that he talked about a few years ago.

So what are actual news from CIG? 2.6.2 schedule? SQ42 release date? Anything?

Also ED multicrew is amazing. Glitchy as hell at this point, but amazing.

Sorry I sometimes forget just how serious a subject star citizen is.

Hey, a man has to draw a line somewhere.

Apparently, mine is drawn along the distinction between orchidaceae and papaveraceae for no apparent reason that I can think of. So there. I guess. Don't know what's up with that, but there you go.

From https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitize...would_be_cool_if_the_vandul_slowly_took_over/

Code: 
... We've got a really cool system worked out for all of that ...

:eek: Yet more wild dev promises...

They've had many "cool systems" "worked out" over the years. Coming up with ideas, or appropriating them from other games (like Shadow of Mordor in that example), and writing long, exciting-sounding, speculative descriptions of them has never been a problem for CIG. It's just that none of them have so far made it into a playable form.

I don't believe a word out of Zurovec's mouth, it all sounds like impractically convoluted stoned ramblings and hopelessly divorced from reality. Probably a reason why he hasn't worked in the field in the past 20 years.

Nothing on this one IMO.
I think I spent more time just looking at the detail on my Mustang alpha with SC then I did the whole time in ED. ED can be good, but they need to get some depth.

*tears of laughter*. Fidelitah is depth! Depth is fidelitah! Support the vision!


Man there is soooo much riding on 3.0, and I just don't see it happening for them. I'd be pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong. I'm not married to one game, I'd spend time in both. I think exploring will always be an Elite thing, but maybe SC could be the mining thing. They just.....have to make the game. Breath-holding may be hazardous to your health.
