Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

And it will be, obviously, "game as a service", being useless without the server.

The question is, if it's really a "game as a service", and you'll be depending on their servers and server meshing bullshit, why is this sort of dumb shit a thing:

That's because the game will have everything. You will be able to MMO it. And mod it! And play it offline, and online, and on private servers.

Oh by the way, now that ChatGPT is a thing, I'd expect another "setback" for another "couple of years", because there's no way in hell Chris won't want to implement it in the game.

Imagine being able to talk to any random NPC in any of those fully realized buildings! You could have an NPC waifu waiting for you at home while you are doing time in space prison, surrounded by more unique, fully realized AI inmates (and real people too!)

Then you'd come home to realize that while you were gone, your space waifu has spawned procedurally generated kids, sold your space pad and moved on.

SO REAL!

Chill dude, they are still trying to get them to sit on chairs.

Wait, they actually sell a manual for 12 bucks?

If they sell pictures for thousands of dollars why the fuck wouldn't they sell a manual for something you can't do for 12 bucks?

Don't give him ideas.

3.18 is looking great.

At times and in certain locations, this scam of a game is easily the best-looking game ever. Superb artistic vision and execution.

 

[mediocrepoet]

So people, old now, but happy to finally play the fucking game.

And then servers the players die

Oopsie!

Ftfy.

Also, this is probably the most entertaining thread on here. What a shit show, I just wish I had thought of a way to get people to fund my lavish lifestyle while I make AI generate space ship art that I show to retards as "you could totally fly this someday."

Disagree. CIG is good at making photorealistic planets and moons, but they're not very imaginative or interesting. Microtech is the prettiest planetoid in SC but it's just one of Earth's tundra biomes. In the time since SC has been in development, other games have come out with more visually imaginative, captivating worlds. Titanfall 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles X trying to riff Avatar's Pandora. No Man's Sky and its pink alien worlds. Wow: Legion with Argus with green lava and alien architecture. And so on.

I legitimately don't see the issue here

Man with severe hardon for creating his own private Hollywood franchise -and failing miserably- finds way to:
- realise his lifelong dream (even though deep down he probably knows he could only have managed by scamming)
- make fuckloads of money in the process
- feed his ego
- stay on the legal side of life's tumultuous highway

Good for him ^^
And good for me, getting the odd laugh out of all the commentary.
Man did the right fucking thing.
I busted ass for a lifetime and.. who the fuck says i'm better? Morals? As in arbitrary rules set by a need for maintaining a status quo? So we don't kill each other? We already are.
Ask Roberts who's doing better, lol, ask him that while he's enjoying a Cuban on that yaught shown above.. And good for him.

You also need people like ADL in this life, for two reasons:
- they (tend to) prevent overaccumulation
- by wasting their money they can occasionally help maintain markets or niches that would have otherwise perished without them. Markets we may have set foot in ourselves.

So thanks to ADL too; i'd never have wasted a cent of mine, but am sure glad you wasted yours tbh. No irony either, am being 100% sincere.

Did you buy that mod instructions thing?

Seems about right.

It's going to get more features in the next patch.

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

I love those box diagrams! So easy to pretend there's no bottlenecks or synchronization issues. And of course there is no latency between all these boxes!

 

[JamesDixon]

It's so nice to see that Chrissie is spending that half a billion dollars wisely on simple flowcharts that any retard can do with MS Word.

Kewl graph, sort of reminds me the roadmap for the roadmap.

Gibz well spend in me book. Imagine if all those gibz were left in the hands of those semi retarded people?! At least now we get to experience this never ending meme.

 

[Myobi]

Roflmao, these mofos throwing thousands of dollars at this shit, spreading referral links like aids all over the internet, deep throating C.R. ADL style around random forums, just to get banned for playing the game and censored to hell when trying to talk about it, good fucking job, if I wasn't playing this tiny violin right now I would clap, it's like fucking poetry.

Tl,dr version:

Dude does pvp in a open pvp broken ass game, takes over some mofo's spaceship and kills him, but he keeps respawning inside the ship and running towards the pirate trying to punch him, his own bodies start pilling up causing massive desync issues, eventually allowing him to punch the armed pirate to death, the pirate gets an email warning him that if he keeps "griefing" he might lose his account, brings up the issue in the forum and gets his posts deleted by the mods.

.... you just can't make this shit up, it's damn hilarious and well-deserved, get fucking shit on by cig you dumb ass pay pigs ;D

We don't want bug reports. Just money. Send money nao!

[Yaar Podshipnik]

Nice list, though the person who made it should learn that habitable == inhabitable.

 

[Myobi]

Replace that tank with carbon monoxide and that's exactly how I imagine the dipshits such as yourself who spent the better part of their adolescence/adult lives insisting upon themselves that Star Citizen would be bad and that it would fail.

Two more weeks though right? Whatever you say schizos

You sound butthurt cultist. What's the matter Alex do you hate it when people make fun of your poor decisions?

I wonder what gave you such impression.... (sorry, just found out that you can actually see the list of people giving you X or Y ratings, lol.)

Can we reach 100 butthurts on this comment?!?! Don't forget to smash that like button and molest that bell!

Reported for butthurt harvesting.

What the hell, 11 years?????

 

[Val the Moofia Boss]

What the hell, 11 years?????

You know it's peak comedy when you're game has been in development for longer than Versus XIII and Kingdom Hearts 3. Only three more years and it will surpass Duke Nukem Forever as the videogame that spent the most time in development hell.
