The Star Citizen Thread v5

[GordFreeman]

Ahh, so you're trying your hand at getting your very own "Special Snowflake" award from Uncle Roberts then, because heaven forfend that you, Mr GordFreeman, should have to see such vulgarity as is regularly practised at this very forum!


Also, please confirm that you have seen Stig's joystick/HOTAS set up with your own peepers and that you know for a fact that he is "lying"?

Buddy. Do I really have to break this down for you again? (I have no idea why I have to see Stig's HOTAS set up......)

FACT: SC started development more than a decade after the 90s.

FACT: Stig said that both Tie Fighter and SC were made in the 90s.

FACT: Stig's statement does not line up with reality, therefore it is false. A lie.

The fact that Stig said that while mocking SC does not change the fact that it was a lie.

 

[Monk]

Hold on, I don't get it. Star Citizen's lousy flight model and combat is good because Tie Fighter was fun? Phew.

Indeed, croberts found the secret sauce to a good space game flight mode and that is TIE Fighter...no need for further iteration


See...now that is mockery

Someone can't take a joke

I think at this stage you are getting your knickers in a twist with the wrong person (and making personal attacks).

I'm not attacking you. It's a fact.

Nah, that would be people who are continuously triggered by the fact that CIG used the term BDSSE in their marketing.

Comparisons of tie-fighter and SC are quite apt, they were both designed in the 90's.

Uhh, Stig said both were *designed* in the 90s, as in suggesting that SC was designed according to archaic outdated principles. He did not say they were both "made" in the 90s.

The fact that I don't care about yaw or the fact that you've got twisted knickers ?.

You seem to be the only one that took it seriously.

If triggered means fall out of my chair laughing every time I see that acronym, then we agree...and I'm going to need some protective padding and some floor polish.

 

[GordFreeman]

Well there is some good old-fashioned jocularity, but "mock" I would suggest is more deliberately antagonistic than simply having to only be able to point at something and laugh uncontrollably

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Thank you for making me laugh uncontrollably!!!

Star Citizen: It was just a joke guys

It means people take it too seriously and defensively. It's a marketing slogan. Nothing more, nothing less. I've seen countless people offended by it.

 

[Asp Explorer]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Thank you for making laugh uncontrollably!!!

And you are most welcome, sweetie!

 

[Neo-ST]

Because they don't allow it. Also I've tried.

The exact same answer as I got.
However, don't know about you, but I pledged via Kickstarter in 2012.
For me, funding in KS went over Amazon Payments (https://payments.amazon.com/).
Just logged in there, found the transaction and if you went with Amazon Payments, you can resolve problems with your transaction from there.
Works similar as Ebay dispute, if you can't reach solution with the seller, they go through refund process for you.

You seem to view everything in terms of offence.

It not offensive it's just wildly inaccurate and they've yet to pick up the bill for using it so often. When that arrives then we'll see who is laughing!

I know what triggered means...and in REAL cases it does not mean too seriously or defensively.

I'm from a military family...several have seen combat, I know what not to do or say to avoid their PTSD triggers.

Gamers like to use the term for their petty (though entertaining) arguments.

I don't know why anyone would be honestly offended by that acronym...silly really...it should be taken as a joke because anyone saying they have got the best of something before they have made it is surely a comedian.

Well, it's arrogant and unearned. It's plain tacky! Like almost everything else CIG claims. No wonder it irritates some people.

It looks like you're taking the marketing slogan just a tad bit too literally there buddy.

Ah. And we have another victim. Offended by marketing. Proving ianw wrong in a matter of mere seconds.

Over here in the UK this is known as, "doing a Benitez"! After the then Liverpool manager on his hospital bed launched into an attack on the then Man Utd Manager Alex Ferguson

Who said I was offended? I just said it's easy to see why such silly claims irritate some people. Because they are silly.

The ridiculous marketing moves they've pulled will haunt them for years. This is just one of the sillier aspects of it!

You're not really making a very good case for whatever it is you're defending. Well, on such an awkward day for CIG -- I can see why it might be difficult to manage convincing arguments for the snowflake set.

As I'm the only factual source that can confirm whether I am in fact offended or not would you object awfully if I called you a liar?

Can you really see CR coming out and saying - when the game gets panned? - only joking guys - we never really meant it - lol!

The point is their whole strategy can only ever backfire on them - there is no way any company could make a game that lives up to the hype they've fed and encouraged.

And that's going to bite them hard eventually.

I just think it's a tactically bad move - a massive hostage to fortune.

Hubris - but funny nevertheless.
