I wouldn't be surprised if this actually happened.

I'd tell him to buy a gun and shoot himself, but I don't think he'd be able to afford even the ammunition.

To kill OP and then themselves

>>15441428

>she wants to see you again before the end.

No she doesn't you lying cunt faggot. Don't make mom's last days any worse than they already are.

I respect your choices as you're a consenting adult, I'm not a judgemental busy body who harbors backwards ideas on sexuality and race.

Nah jk I'd tell them to fucking kill themselves

It's not like I want it to turn out bad but at the same time it's depressingly crushing that a game of this magnitude is nearly impossible to pull off.

Good luck with those food stamps.

Be strong, for all the naysayers and trolls will be put to rest once this masterpiece is released to the critical acclaim that it rightfully deserves. To never have doubt that we won't have the most immersive space sim ever made, and that this journey is one of the most unique things to ever happen to gaming and history. Be proud that you got to expirence first hand the emotional rollercoaster that is known as Star Citizen, that in the face of adversity, you never once had doubt and serious heldfast in determination and willpower. #SCgotyay #chrisrobertsmasterpiece #SCmakinghistory #SClegacy #1smallstep4gaming1gaintleap4gamers

Nothing…unless they are still hooked in the lie.

At the very start it did look promissing, but that was before the feature creep and horrible, horrible mis-managment. I cannot fault anyone who jumped in at the begining.

But anyone who still stick is pants-on retarded.

>>15443770

an impossible scenario. see, even if star citizen does release it will be p2w the likes of which have never been seen before. this game isn't for you or me. it's for whales and peasants for them to lord over. fuck this game

>>15441410

>There are people browsing this board right now who fell for this scam. What would you say to them?

I am one of those people, I spent the bare minimum on it during the kickstarter and lost interest in it years ago.

At GDC this year in the Intel booth they had Star Citizen on the highest end rigs they could put together. The sad thing wasn't that the game ran like shit, its that the booth was manned by backers of the game, they had this soulless look in their eyes and you could tell by the way they talked that they had each sunk significant amounts of money into the game.

>>15442258

>be able to skip all of the game and get the best ship and equipment.

These idiots are already buying every (((ship))) there is(n't) before the (((game))) is even made, presuming a miracle occurs and the (((game))) is ever done to spec they've already undermined themselves utterly, they'll have nothing to do, nothing to work towards, they already have a fleet of fake ship sets ready to go and those are subject to (((insurance))) because of course the first thing any non-backer would do is try to kamikaze wreck their shit for a laugh, so they're effectively invincible right from the start.

They've essentially bought godmode DLC (Pre-LC?) and think for some reason that this will translate to a satisfying experience when the reality is so so much more pathetically sad.

Fucking rockets are built and launched on a shorter timeframe, do you really expect people to believe a game should take 7 years to reach alpha? When’s the final product supposed to come? 2045?

>>15444676

I thought about it, but with the hassles of life now I just dont even care to waste any more of my time with it. The money was spent when I had money to blow. I havent even thought about the game since the real bad shit started coming out from former employees and the proddings of Derek.

I doubt I will ever get to enjoy the $150 I sunk there, but knowing I kept this train wreck going for even a half hour more is worth the entertainment.

>>15444680

So true. I'm fairly sure a satellite network could have been set into orbit using Star Citizen's budget.

Space X is going to drop a truckload of them later this year.

>>15444694

>Speaking of scifi shows, I’m curious about the 1970 Battlestar Galactica. Is it worth a watch?

I used to watch it when I was little. It's a fun cross between Star Trek and Star Wars, lighter than the remake. Shares a similar formula with Space Battleship Yamato, if you know that one. If you're a fedora, you won't like its space magic and mysticism.

It would be odd if this weren't the case.

>>15444342

>Now, the big ass three digit price tag ships don't even outgun the thirty dollars starter ships

That's some hilarious extra data I was not aware of, thanks.

I genuinely hope it all collapses with a bang and not a whimper, I really don't want to see a trickle of people abandoning it over years until the grind chokes it. I want an almighty shitstorm to overrun them and fuck everything up in one fell swoop. I know it's a pipe-dream but what I really want is to see it come from within the ranks of the whales rather than from the outside. If some external copyright legal shit kills them then those idiots can bitch and moan about that destroying their imagined paypig fantasy rather than them realising they're being fucked over by Chris and leaving his ass out to dry/lynching him.

Just think 185 million could hire 18500 hitmen at 10 grand a pop and that *still* hasn't happened, tick tock tick tock.

>>15445053

How long are you willing to wait?

>>15445053

Also what engine do you suppose they'll be using by then? How many times do you think they're gonna have to rewrite everything because their current iteration isn't up to snuff? The logistics of the thing are just unrealistic, conservative estimate based on current progress says 2072 for full release of all the shit they touted at the start. Hope you can still see and move your hands by then.

>>15444609

>A game that takes an entire console generation to develop will be good!

Yeah, which is why The Last Guardian is the greatest game ever made, second only to Duke Nukem Forever.

>>15445285

Limbo of the lost took 14 years, simply amazing.

Imagine, instead of the hundred million+ dollars going to start citizen and the 10 million a year instead going to other projects. 40 million is enough to fund one complete AAA game, so what could 15 medium size studios with an actual plan do with 10 million each. All their eggs are in one basket now.

>>15445403

Feature creep (stretch goals) in Kickstarter projects should be illegal (or more realistically, against their terms of service). The product you pitch should be the product you deliver - no more, no less. They told us we were getting a Wing Commander spiritual successor, that's what they should have delivered. Cawadooty in Space featuring Hollywood actors could have been DLC and all would have been fine.

>>15445440

Since refunds are no longer possible, we will only not bully you if you sell off your account to someone for equal or greater amounts to what you paid.

>>15441410

I still remember looking at that kickstarter, thinking to myself "shit, this looks amazing. I should buy this." and then deciding that since it's a MMO, it'll probably be shit anyway and not spending a dime

>>15445459

This, but hire Ginger Lynn Allen first.

I'm fine with retards throwing away money on this. Every cent wasted on Scam Citizen is a cent not going to EA or Ubisoft or any other shit publishers instead.

>>15445628

You shouldn't be fine with people feeding cancer. We need chemo.

When is this game coming out?

>>15445654

At least they aren't spreading their money over multiple cancers, just one. One that will never be successful either.

>>15441410

>What would you say to them?

lol did Roberts' offer you a free blowjob at least?

>>15441410

I would ask them why they didn't just withdraw their money from the crowdfunding campaign once they saw it was exponentially past it's goal. I doubt anyone on this board has Fuck You money so why would you let them keep your money when all the good goyim have already tossed millions at it?

>>15445470

>since it's a MMO, it'll probably be shit anyway

Wise words.

>>15445928

lol if you think they will ever be able to have more than a dozen or so people in one instance at the same time.

>>15445470

The original pitch wasn't even for a MMO so you must've donated to one of the later kickstarters. Yes, there was more than one.

>>15441410

Go back to reddit

>>15445459

>Feature creep (stretch goals) in Kickstarter projects should be illegal (or more realistically, against their terms of service).

This, game would have been done years ago if they just stuck to their original goals.

>>15445470

>and then deciding that since it's a MMO

The original kickstarter was for a WingCommander/Freelancer spiritual successor so you must have looked at it after the kickstarter ended.

>>15445740

Never, its in development hell.

The reason they say it's an MMO is because of centralized servers to prevent piracy, same with Elite Dangerous. It's not actually going to be a multiplayer game.

>>15445959

get a burner phone

>>15446250

They're basically doing the same P2P style GTA Online uses where there are small, matchmade instances but with centralized servers to prevent counterfeit jpegs.

>>15441493

He achieved the exact opposite of what he tried.

He himself is a scammer. If a scammer says something, people won't think about what he said and worse may associate all critique with him.

He belongs in the oven and you shouldn't give him credit for anything.

If anything he delivered tons of free PR for StarShitizen.

>>15447322

>he does not want to spend 2000 $ to glitch though a 3D model.

To be fair you have to have a very high IQ to understand the fine details of the ultra-high-res-16K-ultraHD textures.

>>15447322

to DF's credit it's free and pretty fucking good for an alpha

>>15447322

>It's a fully developed and highly optimized money printer

Launderer you mean.

>>15447322

>implying they are telling the truth with their charts

They have lied about everything else, why would they tell the truth about that shit?

>>15443769

>funding by Amazon

What?

>>15447481

That particular chart is third party and comes from analysis of released fundraising amounts. They'd get in serious shit with bongland if they were falsifying those numbers. While it's possible as they're crooks, given the money I've watched their community continue to throw into the hole even as jpeg prices rose, I have no reason to doubt it.

>>15447713

MMOs are supposed to have a 6 year development cycle, so yeah, it's long overdue by now.

>>15447713

The cultist response to that is amusing.

>b-but it was just a draft in 2011 it didn't really start in 2012

>and in 2012 the team was smaller so it doesn't count

>a 2013 start date is ok for now but next year we'll find a reason to exclude it

>so yeah only 5 years of development, and it'll be released in less than 2 years, just like we've said every year since 2012

>GTA V and Witcher 3 took 7 years too although no one knows how we arrived at that number so this is normal for an AAA!

>>15447730

The good news is they have a fetch quest now. A fetch quest. Singular. That's most of a MMO right there.

>>15448115

Is there an even higher quality version of that WebM somewhere? YouTube or something? That's fantastic.

>>15444848

I’m not familiar, but I don’t mind some levity in my scifi. I’ll have to give it a watch.

>>15443724

Do these people even play the game? They spend thousands of dollars on pictures of ships as if they are buying a real product.

>>15441410

To check my doubles.

>>15448400

>YouTube or something?

Yup. Here you go anon.

>>15448411

I never get tired of that one.

>>15445162

If someone can post caps for you ,. that one dude who wanted his money back was contacted by the LA Country Attorney General who asked him to "gather as many people and statements as you can and file them here so we can build a case"

I still think the IRS might ask Anons one day to dig into Scam Citizen , but I assume Roberts people monitor all channels and build defenses and have their workers sing confidentiality clauses

>>15444342

>you'll basically need a support ship or two following it to actually go any where

This would be interesting way to get to play for free or even get payed to play , those whale fuckers are usually skill less and will need help from actual gamers for ex."us" ,which also would open possibility to pull off some EVE level heist job(but there is probably insurance for that too)

>>15448991

I would be fine with that in ONE case , where I can shoot him in he head and steal the ship ,that's what I meant with EVE heists , you hear about those from time to time

If it seems too good to be true then it probably is.

>>15448965

Contracts are worse than the paper they're printed on if you want protection from criminal liability. Everyone knows that people don't read the EULAs/Agreements and there are loads of laws to protect the consumer, as opposed to contracts between business partners/employees and their employers which actually hold water.

>>15443596

Invidio.us isn’t working for this vid, dunno why.

i don't know why he didn't simply do a continuation of starlancer and freelancer

>>15449829

If I'm not mistaken, it was because EA got fed up with his incompetence and gave him the boot. Then he went into the film industry and did fuck all.

>>15449830

but i mean why not just creator a spiritual successor under a different name. i understand that's what star citizen is, but star citizen is completely different. what i'm saying is he should have done more of the same with all the modern bells and whistles. that seems like it would have been an attainable task

>>15449832

>but i mean why not just creator a spiritual successor under a different name.

That was the original kickstarter, a spiritual successor to Starlancer/Freelancer, then the scope creep hit.

>>15449830

>EA

Digital Anvil was Microsoft owned.

>>15449832

Chris is a "go bigger or go broke" kind of guy. He wanted bigger, but EA didn't want to take any chances and told him to go suck a dick. So, without people giving him money, he decided he didn't want to go that route.

And now he's going fucking supernova big. Anon, when this bullet train finally meets the wall it's gonna be big, and I don't mean just for croberts. This could be the one to kill crowdfunding viability for good, at least gaming-wise.

There might actually be anomalies in space that make peoples brains go so fuzzy they start seeing shit like this.

>>15449885

The vast majority of goons giving money to this don't play games, period. They just watch lets plays and tweet marketer approved memes.

>>15449885

Some of them(can't say what percentage), think of this "game" as an investment, they probably heard stories of Second Life, how people became millionaires IRL, by selling jpegs, so they "invest" by buying ships early, and cheaply, and when the game comes, they believe it will be the next coming of Christ(they also advertise it as such, to secure the investment), there will be such a huge demand for ships, that they will be there to sell them to them.

>tl;dr they believe SC jpegs is the next bitcoin bubble

>>15449924

>Some of them(can't say what percentage), think of this "game" as an investment

Yeah, they artificially make it look like one too by *increasing* the price of jpegs over time rather than dropping them. Get in on the ground floor, goyim!

>>15447505

They migrated from CryEngine 3 to Amazon Lumberyard Engine, which is basically CryEngine 3 with some technical differences, which I am too stupid to understand.

Basically, Amazon is likely investing in Star Citizen since they see it as a flagship game for the engine to entice devs into using it, since also has a very similar licensing scheme to what Epic Games does with Unreal.

Whether or not if Star Citizen will be a massive trainwreck, which is extremely likely at this point, it will be interesting to see how Amazon deals with the aftermath.

>>15449953

That helmet bob is awful.

>>15450008

So not even the helmets are finished, they don't fit right on the characters head.

>>15450040

Everything about helmets is pretty broken. Last I played I took mine off, opened the ship's canopy in space, and was somehow perfectly fine. I got out of my seat and did a spacewalk and that's when my o2 started depleting (the vacuum of space is quite forgiving). Got back in my seat but I died during the sitting animation and the game crashed.

>>15442238 Future generations will look back upon us and see our history of having a new nigger babble term every year to replace the word "good".

>>15450086

Personally I don't think there should be a problem with this kind of copyright infringement, if that is what it is. I think it's asinine that you can claim some basic idea, like a giant blue space tardigrade, and then nobody else can ever use that idea in anything else regardless of whether or not they are intentionally "stealing" it. I think copyright law of this kind severely hampers creativity in all media.

The way I think of it is that if one game/movie/whatever has a good idea but uses it in a shit way, copyright law then comes in and permanently prevents that idea from ever being used in a good way by anyone else.

Interstellar Rift

Pretty much features SC shit and instead of spending $25000 you can just build and edit your own ship as a bonus.

If I were righting the law, rather than saying that individual elements cannot be copied, I would say that the work as a whole must be meaningfully different. Of course by that logic there would be no such thing as owning an IP franchise, ANYONE would be able to legally make and sell a Star Trek movie for instance, so long as that movie was their own creation and not a direct copy.

I also remember some mathfag in a later thread counted how many times the quark multiplied in each increment. I think the number of quarks in that last second was greater than the number of people on the planet. Did anyone save that number by chance?

HA-HAH, Faggot Cucks!

>>15450216

You're being a retard. Like >>15450391 said it's not a somewhat similar idea, it's blatantly obvious they stole the concept, the mechanics and the characters. There's far too many similarities to pass it off as mere inspiration or coincidence.

>>15450603

>And all of this was before anybody knew the trailers assets were all done inhouse by Crytek and dev only started after they finished the Kickstarter.

Because Roberts blatantly lied and pretended a big chunk of development had already been completed. I still don't quite understand how he managed to scam his way into this $180 million monstrosity of a project, but I know people will die because of it in the end.

>>15450692

Hasn´t aged very well AT ALL and it´s basically two shows.

First, the one they rebooted is hardly watchable after a while as it´s so cheesy and CONSTANTLY reuses maybe 5 FX shots.

It´s a kids show and a not very good one. My kiddy nostalgia googles got shattered on trying to watch the reruns lately.

2nd part is them finding 80ies Earth and FULL on SJW (((Green Party))) agitprop.

It´s a Jew show, so no surprise.

Yep, they have "medical gameplay" tied to a specific ship, "electronic warfare", etc.. That seems like it'll be their strat for the next few years since it worked so well with mining. Drive everyone to play a tiny minigame's worth of content per patch at $150+ a pop.

Isn't this just a shill thread? OP got us talking about a scam which is just generating more interest than this filth deserves.

Considering Nips are steadily dismantling all the post-WW2 bullshit America has imposed on them concerning weapons and army composition I wouldn't be surprised if they've already commissioned the drawing up of a full carrier already.

All those not-carries they've been making so far look to me like testbeds to explore technological solutions and train personnel.

>I wouldn't be surprised if they've already commissioned the drawing up of a full carrier already.

They could totally ask France to sell them the design.

It's not well known but the design of the Queen Elisabeth Class (UK new carriers) is from the French DCNS company that they developed from the CdG data and experience (which was supposed to be only a prototype before a "full size" carrier, which France never built out of money issues) so it's not like there isn't a precedent.

>>15442223

>>15450367

Like this:

https://scenegames.goodolddownloads.com/

Created by the CS.rin.ru guys, fast, easy to use and if what I heard was true, servers are located in some buttfuck 3rd world country where it can't be brought down.

Interstellar isn't there yet, so I'd be seriously fucking wary of downloading it from IGG.

>>15444552

Is there a SaturnV anime girl? asking for a friend.

>>15450289

Let anons be retarded and have their CPUs mine for the more intellectually able out there. Theyre retards if they actually use an IGG download and you cant cure retarded faggots

>>15458102

I feel like I should set one thing straight here:

Igg games is not one guy uploading games.

They take submissions from users, uploaded on diferent mirrors and then publish the links on their page.

Now, in theory, they claim that they pre-scan everything they upload to make sure they don't accept malware riddled submissions.

In practice, three things can happen:

>they're bullshitting us

>they don't really care to scan submissions

>they can but the submission is infected with some advanced payload-download method

I'm inclined to go with the third for one reason: from experience, the only games I saw with bitcoin miners were "Idling games", you know those things you open and leave open in another window for hours at a time.

I've also seen other kinds of malware on a few submissions, but out of (close to) 150 downloads from them, I only found 8 or 9 (could have been a false positive) to be infected.

As always, no matter how much you trust the source and how much reputation they have: scan it. Several times if possible.

Even the most reputable cracker gets his reputation ruined if someone MitM his shit. In fact, that tactic as been used before to discredit "famous" trustworthy uploaders back when The Pirate Bay was a thing.

>>15449756

Alright, that's tight what it's like to experience

>>15450040

And there I thought it was just a bad animation. They're separate entities? Oh lawds, hang on a mo, looking at >>15448115 there's a lot of shit that's independently moving, I'm no expert but doesn't that mean a ton of (not very good) unnecessary positional coding for random pieces of scenery when they could have basically turned everything into a single instance background? What has possessed them to do this? They're making an even bigger bundle of sticks to break their own backs with. Oh shit, it'd be even worse cos that would, most likely, effect every ship in the game. Jesus, this mess is even more fucked than I realised and it was one of the most fucked up things I was aware of.

>>15450055

>>15454625

All that money and they hire a decent coder???Didn't the guy that wrote the book on the engine they are using walk out on them?

>>15460139

I don't know about their coders but one of their ship modelers is, was?, a Brazilian goon who spent almost all of his posts on SA doing a let's play of FF7 for like 3 years he never finished. Wish I kept those screenshots.

>>15459913

A sane person in Chris' position would have developed SQ42 first as a testbed for the flight model and ship combat, and once he was sure those aspects of the game were rock solid branched out with expansions that addressed specific aspects of the gameplay. Instead he decided it was a smart idea to develop three games simultaneously and waste resources on showering, urination and bartending mechanics when the core gameplay is still a buggy turd.

I bet they'll cite Star Citizen as an example of how not to manage a project in both business and programming schools.

>>15460586

Shut them all down man, you cant improve if you stumble upon walls each time.

>>15460139

Their networking is based on an open sores library this is no longer being maintained, their networking team is no tanks in Baghdad:

<CIG Lead Network Programmer - "Netcode does not make clients run slowly, and never has."

and they had job offers out to replace core networking team positions a while back so there was probably a purge. Meanwhile, they currently can't add new planets and locations because the game literally sends every client every update in the in entire universe and has been doing this for the last 6 years. An NPC scratching its ass 100,000km away is something your client is notified of. If this game had hacks it would set a record for the longest distance wallhack in history. Imagine sniping someone from another planet.

They have a nightmare internally in their code around this from what I've gathered. Derek Lolcow pointed out that they have hundreds of spinlocks. That's a ridiculous number even for much larger projects and suggested they had no idea how to do multithreading. Sure enough, they had to rewrite the game's lua scripts as C++ semi-recently (seriously) to try to work around this due to lua not handling multithreading well. That's not a real fix, either. They shouldn't have to do something like that, that's crazy. It's desperation as they must have decided fixing their shitty engine code is a lost cause and have to find a way to live with it.

Oh God imagine find there wasn't any insurance on them. 30 minutes in the entire fleet is burnt to the ground by 5000 starting kamikaze ships, the whale breaking into tears as they plead desperately into the microphone between sobs to stop. Eventually curling on the floor with their mic still pleading for 8 hours straight.

>>15445244

>we will have actual fusion or antimatter-powered star travel before Star Citizen comes out

>>15461945

Knowing Scam Shitizen, the insurance is likely to be bugged indefinitely. Requiring a ridiculous workaround, for a price of course.

If they only spent $100 or so

>You poor bastard

If they spent over $100

>You stupid cunt

>>15463236

$100 is your threshold? I'd consider $50 at most.

>>15462095

the ship insurance function is one of the few things actually in the game already. The worse that happens is sometimes the game replaces the ship with a broken version that's missing doors, causing you to have to do the reclaim process over again.

>>15463279

>$50 at most.

Even the cheapest "good" ship the game has costs you $65 for the ship + game package. Everything under that are slow broken pieces of crap that can't do missions or fight worth a shit.

>>15461945

>>15460065

I have said that shit to people years ago but they wouldn't listen. Gimballed weaponry is it's own entity, every fucking thruster nozzle is one, every player on the ship and stuff they hold and so on.

Wanting to have all those positions updated all the time, at high speeds because spaceships no less, is asking for trouble. The incompetence of these faggots is surreal.

I've played Mechwarrior: Online in a clan. The biggest problem the shitty devs had was that they used Cryengine. It looks great but comes with practically no netcode and really, really can't handle shit traveling fast. Small mechs were next to impossible to hit but would smash up their legs on tiny rocks. Lots of problems like that.

They couldn't manage to have you be a dude in a cockpit. That's also why you can't eject from the mech. What they did instead was basically have the mech be you. As if it was a FPS and you were a dude in a small scale world, just that you are a mech.

I may not understand this stuff correctly because I'm /nodev/ but when I heard what engine Scam Citizen would use and what they were planning to do with it, I knew it was trouble.

No matter what engine, though, just imagine the logistics of having a spaceship travel at high speed and having over ten items on it that have to keep up (weapons and thrusters), plus lots of shit inside (people, helmets, guns in their hands) and then not only expecting that to work, but expecting that to work with a handful more spaceships in the same instance. Imagine all that fucking data! At what tickrate were they expecting to run their servers? Much simpler games already can have trouble with updating positions, how did they think this would work out for them?

>>15481777

> It looks great but comes with practically no netcode

this is actually why they switched to Amazon's modded version of cryengine that does supposedly have some sort of shitty netcode, even though this also has caused Crytek to sue CIG for breaking part of the contract they had.

No seriously, Crytek is actually suing to keep their name on this Hindenburg

>>15481830

That's fine and dandy but I doubt there's any netcode that could handle the workload the idiots put on it.

When they announced the FPS portion of the game I knew they were fully desperate. Loads of shit needed to be created or got working and they come with FPS shit. The one thing the engine can do easily right out of the box.

"Oh shit, CitizenCon is next month and we have jack shit to show! What can we cobble together quickly?"

"A shitty FPS? Cryengine basically comes with that."

"Get to work!"

I'm pretty sure they will be teaching the "Roberts technique, AKA forever developing a product with vague hopes of delivery living of infinite R&D funding" for the decades to come in business school.

Now granted he didn't invented it (Military industrial complex invented it. Which is why the US still use shit designed in the late 50's and God only known how many programs there was to replace them for untold hundreds of $billions).

What they say and what actually happens are always two different things.

The bulk length of citizencon is more like a long GDC talk before it was a Marxist meet&greet and the segments are pre-redorded slide & video combinations. Those are largely done by the former CryTek graffix wizards about graffix tech. Those are the highly skilled professionals they hired to put the lipstick on their pig and sure enough it's got a glossy scarlet sheen, but it's the pig that's fun to gawk at and watch roll around in its own shit. That's usually in a smaller segment, the keynote address, and is the part worth watching with anons as it's always impossible levels of failure despite being something that could surely be planned and practiced.

For reference, the bulk part of 2017, minus the keynote.
