/v/ - Video Games

My stance of SC has been unchanged for years I hope it's good but I have serious doubts.

>>15251448

ONE HUNDRED SIXTY MILLION DOLLARYDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS

>>15251465

>I hope it's good

It's a p2w shitfest that is so Jewish it makes the Elders of Zion over at EA look like talented and passionate game developers.

>>15251499

How so, I haven't been paying attention for a few years.

Is it worst than pre-order only advantages and general F2P / P2W shit that has become the norm?

>>15251473

Reminder that there are people on /v/ who spent money on Scam Citizen.

>>15251512

$27,000 jpeg ship packs.

>>15251520

That sounds like separating retards from their cash unless it's drastic grind (I would consider 2-3,000 hours fair) to acquire it without being the best guy.

PERSISTENT JEWNIVERSE

>>15251473

200+ million now, and think they got another bank loan and some investments from Amazon.

>>15251522

>>15251520

They just released a 36 thousand dollars ship pack a few months ago.

None of what they're even showing is unique to their game. We've seen all this before. You can already do most of this shit in Space Engineers. I'm really failing to see a point to this game existing at all.

>>15251563

>if a game doesn't do something no one has done before it shouldn't exist

SC exists to be a giant scam, while this is nothing new it is the biggest scam in vidya history.

Also you do see that your logic is fucking retarded right?

>>15251567

I'm saying that Robberts pitched the game as innovation. But it hasn't innovated on anything. People keep banging on how Star Citizen is unique but it looks like every game we've seen before.

And I'll add that every game has to have its own hook, otherwise its just pissing in an already flooded market full of shit. Which is what Star Citizen is. Same with Dual Universe. They're all the same fucking game. The only thing unique about Star Citizen is that it has a stupid budget, that's it. Turns out all the money in the world still can't buy you an innovative game.

>>15251584

I disagree that innovation is required for a good game, personally if SC turned out to be little more that Eve Online meets Elite Dangerous.

As for claiming innovation while having none that is a practice Apple mastered and other industries have since copied because it works.

>>15251588

I dunno whether to think these are scalpers or buyer's remorse faggots. And anon, No Man's Game wasn't a redemption arc if Sean Murray who never apologize like when a Japanese company fucks up, he just said that all of his lies were "miscommunication" and a lot of Game Bloggers defended him from the toxic and entitled fanbase who he scammed.

>>15251599

He didn't say innovation, he said "hook", as in something that makes it stand out from everything else. Heretic might have been an almost straight Doom clone, but it's hook was its fantasy setting and item mechanic. You don't have to innovate to have a hook, you just need to make yourself distinctive in some way.

>>15251596

To be honest i am serious. The only thing NMS needs now is some formidable foes and tension. In case of Star Citizen entire game is yet to be made.

>>15251599

>As for claiming innovation while having none that is a practice Apple mastered and other industries have since copied because it works.

This was pretty much my point. That its Apples kind of Innovation, which is more "we released the same product again, but all the adaptors have been changed so you have to rebuy everything again". Its exactly the same bullshit, hence why they offer the ability to trade in ships.

But the point was that there is nothing that Star Citizen does that sets it apart from the market. EVE Online has fleet sizes (and that's about it- because everything else it does is dull), X3 has station building and empire management, Space Engineers has the ability to crash player designed ships into each other. Angles Fall First has FPS Space and Ground combat in a similar style to Arma. Hell even Derek Smart's Battlecruiser had the insane Ship management system which was the main selling point that set it apart from the rest of the space ship sims on the market.

What does Star Citizen have??? It looks pretty.. That's about it.

>>15251646

Well, according to the faggots "playing" star citizen it will do everything those games did. It will be the ultimate game where you can do everything! Like take a shower after a hard day of work, maybe they will even add the ability to shit and pee later on.

>>15251732

Shill what you want, but there are still people who don't want jewtube to know they are from 8chan.

>>15251448

You know what I don't get about Star Citizen. Roberts historically makes good single player sci-fi games. Now, he crowdfunds something and decided to go MMO all of a sudden. Odds are if they stuck to single player, this probably would have been a huge success.

>>15251753

Star Citizen was originally a multiplayer side-game to a single player scif-fi space game. All the retards saw "mmo space game", though, and hyped up Star Citizen, prompting Roberts to go where the retards with money obviously were. Now we're here.

>>15251760

This

Follow the petulant whims of entitled retards and you'll end up neck deep in shit.

>>15251753

I doubt that however big a success it would be, it'd allow Chris to put hundreds of millions on his bank account at zero effort

>>15251760

Didn't know that. No wonder I hate other gamers.

>>15251844

I suppose but the end results I feel would still be better than whatever the fuck it is they're doing now.

8chan is based on an idea of trusting Jim because Hotwheels trusted him too.

>>15251883

>watch up to 7:49 to see some impressive bullshitting of people if you have a good eye

>>15251473

prob a money laundering scam tbh.

>>15252158

Grow up. Space ship cant have legs and neither can have a tank.

>>15252167

>Grow up

Lmao where do you think you are?

>>15252172

I don't know. I am here from 2014 and even i don't recognize this place. It changes every year.

YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE VIDEO GAMES!

WHERE ARE THE VIDEO GAMES CHRIS?!

>>15252253

>video games

Wishful thinking. At best those shall now be called "interactive experiences".

>>15251588

I might just take the account I bought for some 20 bucks during the kickstarter and try t osell it.

I'm sure there's some autists somewhere who wants another copy of that first ship.

>>15252175

And Roberts just announced you can stockpile the in-game currency, which pretty much cements the game as a p2w scam.

>>15252420

It's a pity that combined arms goes out the window by the end of OYW and everything is done with mobile suits.

>>15251588

>at least No Man's Sky redeemed themselves

Not even close.

>>15251617

>game has completely barebones gameplay and shitty graphics, to the point it might as well be a mobile game

>they patch in slightly more gameplay that is still miles away from any other similar game and still could well be a mobile game

"wow it's actually pretty decent now"

>other game had more gameplay 4 years ago than the above mentioned until the patch

>other game got patched with orders of magnitude more gameplay than the above mentioned will ever get

"the ENTIRE GAME is missing, there's NOTHING"

Both of them are shit, but SC is not shit because there's nothing in it, SC is shit because it doesn't fucking run. It doesn't matter how much amazing 8k-textured, fully voiced and animated content there is when you get 5fps.

>>15252669

>SC is shit because it doesn't fucking run

And because there's nothing in it. Roberts promised 100 star systems, they've barely shat out one planet and a bunch of small moons, and the planet is a barren desert, in both the metaphorical and literal sense of the word.

Then there's the fact they're selling dozens upon dozens of gimmick ships that only exist on paper. Recently they introduced mining, but only if you're a paypig and shell out $150 to buy the mining ship. And yes, I do agree that the game runs like shit and will keep on running like shit no matter what they do, and will likely be limited to under 24 players in a single instance, but the main problem here is that there is no fucking game to be had, outside of buying jpegs and working your way through the retarded monetizing schemes they put in place to obfuscate just how much of a p2w mess the project has become.

>>15252701

>combat more or less works, with many different weapon types and ships with various characteristics, all with internal systems modeled, along with FPS

>multicrew "works" if we ignore that multiplayer doesn't work

>in a solar system with planets and moons that you can enter and quests that take you around

These things alone would make it a very worthwhile game if it actually worked and if it didn't have half the content locked behind paywalls, and they will inevitably have to roll out ingame markets at some point. Something like Pulsar is already pretty fun with decent replayability. Pulsar has a smaller scope, but it's rounded off, SC has blocks of the game here and there with big gaps between them.

>>15251499

checked

>>15252763

>if it actually worked

There's still no content. The planet and planetoids have nothing on them, there are almost no quests, and those that exists are fetch quests.

The game fails on a technical level, it fails to provide content and it fails mechanically, since there actually doesn't exist a gameplay loop.

>>15252805

Increased internet speeds finally allowed developers and publishers to get extremely lazy with their releases because they can "simply" patch it later.

Before widespread broadband you had to make sure the game shipped as bugfree as possible, because even consoles with a modem consoles had no (or very limited) internal storage space, and the majority of people didn't know how to download a patch (doubly so in the BBS days).

Nowadays they can just shit the game out and release a day 1 patch and shave off a couple months that would have been "wasted" on QA.

>>15252855

holy shit, when was it originally announced?

>>15253386

Scam Citizen's Kickstarter was started back in 2012.

>>15251478

5 years ago this game looked amazing

what the fuck went wrong? Looks like pubg in space

Shitty management by a guy that's way in over his head just like he has in the past.

>>15254545

i wish kikestarter never took off, theres a reason these fucks got booted out of the AAA industry back in the day. doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

>>15254604

whats the 2nd vidoes context here? I dont follow star scam at al lbut the memes are great

>>15254604

I hadn't seen the (((Kubrick))) one before. Fucking kek, its so perfect.

>>15254520

Feature creeps a bitch ain't it! Most of the teams keep having to re-implement features because the community/chris complains about how it looks so they go back and do it again and again. All Chris had to do was remake star lancer. Why the fuck was it so difficult. Remake Star Lancer first, THEN do the stupid ambitious shit. Not the other way around idiot.
