And neither has CIG/RSI. ("Worked on an AAA games" is subjective as SC/SQ42 do not have that "AAA" level of quality and completion as of this time)
Just thought I'd point that out, carry on all
Could be because it's still in development, no?

Fantastic please explain it to IceGrypon, he's gone cross eyed.
So you agree that Derek has decades of experience in making massive space games that end up having a very narrow appeal in what is already a niche market, and is therefore quite knowledgeable in the field. Never having worked on a AAA game is another point in his favour as SC clearly isn't AAA.
It just happens to not match the statement you made.
Even if you state that he's largely failing, you still call him an expert in the field of making massive space games.

I would also point out and counter that that most of the developers at CIG have AAA experience under their belt so technically that isn't correct.

Uh-oh we just used Derek Smart name 3 times...... *waits for him to reappear*
expert
ˈɛkspəːt/
noun
noun: expert; plural noun: experts
- 1.
a person who is very knowledgeable about or skilful in a particular area.
"an expert in health care"
You're still on it, nice. Let me just rephrase my original question. If you think he is an expert in making massive space games, what makes you think he is? (No, saying that he is very knowledgeable or skilful in a particular area is not an answer)
I could just make a 4km² map with a flat surface in CryEngine put a actor with a weapon in it, but that wouldn't make me an expert in making massive fps games but an idiot at best.

Absolutely, and with no end in sight for the foreseeable future. So my point stands

Not really, a failed AAA production is still a AAA production, just a failed one.

Ok, lets take a look at the list of names then and take a quick look back through their gaming careers to see what AAA games they've worked on.
Oh right yeah, no way to know what their development history is apart from the few who get paraded either on the website or in silly videos. What makes you think they are all ex-AAA devs and what makes you think even if they had "worked" on AAA projects that automatically makes them specialists? The product thus far certainly doesn't look like the combined efforts of lets say even 50 AAA devs. Good artistry maybe, but very little technical exellence or punctuality imho.

Depends what you mean by "failed". Doesn't AAA usually mean "best of the best" or "Top quality" usually? Hard to imagine many games that are of that callibre failing on anything really hence earning the AAA status.
I'm yet to see anything worthy or comparable of 'AAA' status from CIG/RSI tbh. I'm the kind of person who rates the meal after I eat though, not before.

Well done briguy168 for helping you out there.
I regard Derek as an expert in the field of making massive space games that subsequently flop. This puts him in a unique position to judge SC due to the obvious similarities. Although Derek's never blown 117 million of other people's cash on one of his games so from a moral perspective he's far superior.

Failing as in caned, e.g. Titan. Not as in failing after release. If you're the person who rates the meal after you eat, not before, you may have to wait until the meal has been cooked before eating it... Also AAA is not earned but set by the budget and quality of the production.

Wasn't that hard. So he basically is an "anti-expert", an expert in failing at making massive space games. Well CIG haven't failed yet, ELE is still on the way, 90 days tops.

Ah gotcha
I understand your meaning now I'd wait for this particular meal to finish cooking, but I'm fast approaching my forties now so time is a limiting factor

If time is a limiting factor, you can either hope that the chef fails to cook you a meal (so you can end waiting for it) or go to another chef in the mean time and test his meal, because i don't see this chef getting your meal ready any time soon.
Heh good plan, I've been eating at other resturants now for some time, the service is just 'better' and the meals are complete
Lol, thanks for making me hungry irl hahaha
Well perhaps people should start with that mentality so that they can temper their hype and not blow their wad of cash on something they think is a pre-order. Why should it be the fault of the company when it's the ignorance of the donater that's at fault, why should CIG and the community suffer because of ignoramuses.
As for opening up a store in a bad neighborhood/robbery, I smell what you're stepping in but if you know that the neighborhood is bad and you still opt to open a store or move to a house than you reap what you sow. I have very little sympathy for people who either don't know what they're getting themselves into or blatantly ignore things. And the robbery doesn't make any sense in the context of CIG because they aren't robbing anyone, there is a clear history of improvement and development so you analogy would only apply if CIG jump ship and ran.
Good luck with that, hope it's something that people enjoy and you don't have to deal with people who try to argue that your game is a scam
Never said that you cannot have an opinion, just said that you have no room to critique, which is what I meant by comment, it.
Well that really isn't true because if people are going to say that SC has been in development for 5 years because they were developing the GDC demo than you have to say the same thing for Elite and it's engine development which runs the game. By your logic, we should only count the art assets that CIG have created as development which is, for argument sake, 3 to 3.5 years. I know you were being facetious but to say you have to include the engine work of CE is asinine since CIG licensed it from another developer instead of creating it

It seems that the other restaurants have been using a bit to much salt though.
Better that than dragging roadkill into the kitchen and pre-selling it as sirloin to more customers than your restaurant can seat.

maybe, but at least the comments aren't that salty.
You can't make comments when you are vomiting uncontrollably. I'm just glad that environmental health are finally on the case.
