Well shit. Looks like I'm going to have to order this. That the game is so polarizing and indescribable makes me think it's a success. The worst thing would have been if Kojima had created another bog-standard shooter. A lot of people are posting about how great the cooperative mechanics of...

The lack of internet is the most dystopian element. These exploding beached things sound awesome.

This game is some epic tier trolling. This November we will all learn to walk again.

Back when I was poor, I sold my raid priest in vanilla WoW for 800, and my raid enchanter in EQ for 500ish. That's about net even with how much I've spent on MMOs. I'm on the other side of the spectrum now. I'd have no problem paying ridiculous amounts of money to bypass tedious aspects of an...

I'll be there. First time attending. I'm not even sure why. I'm not even playing any of Blizzard's game currently. Hoping to catch Furor at the Hilton bar. Thinking of cosplaying as Sam Deathwalker.

Repent Harlequin said the Tick-Tock Man is a perfect piece of writing.

Well, now I know how someone as obviously retarded as Draegan became a mod. It was pretty obvious he was a major league douchebag from the start. Should have seen this coming guys.

That's a respectable ROI. "The Visit?" I totally missed that. Looks like it wasn't horrible. "Devil" is interesting enough to see once imo. I figure somewhere in there is still the guy who made "Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable." It's not impossible that he could one day get his powers back.

Not as good as the first 3, but still pretty good. I liked it.

The twist is all of us, the viewers. The twist is crowd-sourced, you see?

I made out like a bandit. Got pretty much everything I wanted. Primordia Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller - Season One + OST Vol 1 Underrail Valdis Story: Abyssal City Blackwell Epiphany Darkness Within 1: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage Technobabylon...

That sounds disgusting bro.

My Starbucks gold card was suspended because they found the $400+ balance and constant stream of transfers from gift cards suspicious. FML

Chasm City Why do people shit on Alistair Reynolds? This was pretty good. It's a compelling story, has some great ideas, and displays considerable vision and talent.

I saw it. I think those looking for a scary movie will leave disappointed. It has some creepy moments, but it's more of a slow character study with an ironic twist. It has pretty good atmosphere though, and it is definitely different from anything else out there. I would give it a B. Well...

You're projecting again.

I mean "in doubt." There's no inquisition going on here. Just mild curiosity.

Look, it is hearsay. It's ALL speculation other than some playable demos and shit. The larger point is that their financial state is still in question. We can agree on that? CIG is not out of the woods. It's precarious from where I'm sitting. If it does collapse, it will happen quickly in...

Like I said, you're probably never going to get signed documents of financial records. Anyone with access to those isn't stupid enough to publish them. It's healthy to take everything that's word of mouth with a grain of salt, but if you willfully ignore what employees are saying, I think...

Lol, the conspiracy? Look, if they were saying that 1 billion dollars were spent, than I would agree that something isn't right, but the amount the sources are claiming have been spent are pretty much inline with their headcount and years in development. If you did some basic accounting...

Who said anything about day to day expenses? This isn't the lease payments on the land or employee salaries. These are general amounts left in the kickstarter pool. Nice strawman, but no. A lot of employees know general revenue numbers for their company. When I worked for a private company...

What an ignorant statement. Most employees actually do. It's called a quarterly financial report. For any crowd-funded/kickstarter game I would bet everyone in the company is very interested in how much money is left. I doubt it would be hard to find out either, even if management tried to...

From former employees CIG Employees Talk Star Citizen and the State of the Company | Video Games Features | The Escapist

Derek Smart predicted first quarter 2016. Since CIG had 8 million left back in the beginning of October, it was a reasonable forecast, and If SC were based on a standard business model, he would probably be right(he could still be right).

Daenerys didn't have this many white knights.

Dead Space also did an excellent job of the zero-G FPS thing. I would argue Descent was also kind of a zero-G shooter. I don't envy our future space marines. Fighting in zero-G is confusing as fuck.

I'm curious, what does $40 get you? A garbage scow?

But according to Variise, CIG has insane project management skills. His evidence for this is that they took 1.5 years to build a mining station, but now they can do it in a few hours with their awesome copypasta skills. I kinda stopped reading his posts after that.

You do know movies cost money to make? That the box office isn't just all profit? I'm not even getting to the part where movies generally have to make twice their production budget to break even. You seem to believe movies are developed for free. This is appalling.

Uh, what? Almost all those movies bombed you retard. Do you even read your own sources? And you're forgetting one little gem: Wing Commander the movie. He did that. So yeah... Brb. Going to post a source that proves my opponent's argument. Lol.

The walls of text. The horrible grammar and spelling. It reminded me a lot of Goliath. It was an honest question. A lot of people have changed their names here.

Never mind. I see I've been coming across as negative about Star Citizen lately, and I don't mean to. I'm certainly not hoping that the project will fail. I think the whole thing is very tenuous, but that's different. We'll see how it plays out.

Uh, what? I'm not trying to troll, douche.

Goliath, is that you?

Hahaha. It's like talking to a born again Christian.

I believe the salient point is that with AAA resources, 250+ employees, probably closing in on a 100 millionish now in budget, and 3+ years of development, what they've produced so far looks like a single A project, like it could have been done by 50 people in a year. And it's not just my...

Sylas beat me to it. The truth points to itself. Some highlights though: Chris and his intern-wife turned executive paying themselves millions of dollars. Chris paying millions more to actors in a transparent attempt to relive his failed Hollywood aspirations. $20,000 cappuccino machine.

Haha, no, this is not how games are generally made. Star Citizen is atypical. I don't think it's a con, in the sense that I don't think CIG is setting out to bilk investors of their money. Gross financial mismanagement? Yes. Badly executed? Yes. Huge chunk of funds spent on greed and...

This is probably the result of a crash effort to integrate everything they have working so far, so they have something to show at least. It should placate the Star Citizens for a while, and that's what really counts here. I think they're still a LOOONG ways off from releasing a game, and...

Eheh, I actually want to explore this.
