Yeah, like I said, it could be debatable based on your personal tastes. I wasn't attacking you...

Looks like the Cutlass is going in for its rework now. There are a shit load of dev replies in this reddit thread about it: Cutlass Entering Rework • /r/starcitizen You might find it interesting. Looks like it's good hands. The guy who designed the Drake Herald is going to be doing the rework...

Maybe debatable to your personal tastes, but the overwhelming response from community and critics is that it is MUCH better than the last publicly shown version of the FPS.

Hey boys and girls have we talked about this? (I bookmarked it near the relevant bits, but the whole interview is pretty good) Specifically, I'm talking about how CR mentions that they've recently started development on new network tech that is cloud based that he thinks they'll be able to...

Very cool to see how far along the grabby hands system is coming. Looking forward to seeing the last of the "USE" prompt. I also like the idea of the cargo system being personal (you pick up the shit you want off the pirate base, etc.) or automated (you buy 400 units of whatever from a merchant...

Good conversation here guys. I like that some of you are pointing out the difference in "end game" between SC and other MMO type games. The developers have made it clear that ship companies will continue to refine and release "new model" starships as time goes on. Even if you enter the game with...

C'mon, Cinge, you can do better than that! Didn't you used to actually contribute to discussions back in the day?

Okay, I get what you're saying. Basically, you're skeptical, and the only thing that will convince you is a good, finished product. I can't help you with that! Only time will tell - fingers crossed!

Edit: Forgot to quote Rafterman. Okay, man - I get that it's a problem for you. Some people are using money to accomplish two things: 1. Fund the game's development, and 2. Remove a time-sink for themselves from the game should it ever release. I don't really see a problem with it. The really...

Your description of design is basically the same kind of stuff Tony Zurovec talks about. I'm not gonna listen through all the interviews he's done to find timestamps for you, though. I thought you'd be interested, as he's basically working on one of the largest projects in the industry doing the...

I know you know a lot more about game design than I do, Denaut, and I appreciate your perspective. Are you familiar with Tony Zurovec? He and Roberts got to know each other back at Origin and he apparently won a lot of awards for some of the game system designs he did for Privateer and his...

For sure - I don't ever recommend people put more than the base starter cost into this game if they're interested. I think the current alpha and the dream are worth $45! Yes, I'll survive with no thoughts of suicide should this company fold next week.

Well, I know you weren't talking to me, but I think I can objectively answer some of your question here. I think I understand your objection - you are operating on the basis that everything about the persistent universe (PU) is still just in the planning stage, and you aren't aware of what...

Nah, P2W means you can use real money to do something someone can't do in game. I mean, that's what most of us consider P2W. It will take time and effort, but you can earn the ships you want in game. On top of that, buying large ships now removes actual content for you in the game. I'm guilty of...

The Cutlass was marketed badly. They don't want to change it to appease the people that bought it for the marketing line of it being a "nimble fighter" so they are creating another ship that is a bit more to their liking: They're finishing up work on the Caterpillar, which is a large Drake...

I'll take your bait, cause I don't mind talking about this! First off, I don't remember Variise ever posting about ESO, so I'll bear that shame all on my own. I learned a valuable lesson in my years as a Matt Firor fan boy. I learned that the power of the big publishers and their desire to...

Not sure the two games are really comparable - COD is even more on rails than the Division. I mean you don't even get to create a character, you play as "Lt. Reyes." Watching that demo, it seemed interchangeable with any modern FPS mission based game. Am I missing something? Is there an MMO...

Yeah with regard to ArcCorp - it would make sense if they have a defense grid to prevent random landing/flight paths - the whole planet is a city, you'd need to protect the populace from terrorist/pirate/bad pilot activity.

Interview with Todd Papy from Gamescon: There was another interview with Brian Chambers, but not too exciting - one interesting tidbit is that he estimates that they've modified at least 50% of the base Cryengine so far, and they aren't taking drops from Crytek anymore because their engine is...

Pretty decent interview: That dude's microphone is like a fairly large hairy animal...

Damn, dude... good looking out!

Yeah, it's looking good :)

Okay, thanks for the info. Still a couple interesting tidbits in there, like the subsumption tool they developed for the AI.

Well, both are German, but one is from "PC Games" and the other is "PC Games Hardware" - I mean, I only have Google to translate, but they sure seem different in content too. Maybe I'm crazy, though?

Stuff starting to come out ahead of Gamescom this weekend. Do any of you speak German? Heh. Star Citizen - Besuch bei Foundry 42: exklusive Eindrücke

Any nobody's copied and put it anywhere?

Brad DID do a lot of fucky stuff in the past. Is he really in charge of this project? And people are giving him monies?

If I weren't bored as hell right now, I'd be in the same boat as you, Amzin. I'm probably gonna just pull the trigger here, though. hehe

I saw this is supposed to come out for the PC today. I was tempted to buy it, but that review has me thinking twice. Also this one: No Man’s Sky Review – Falling Skies – The Jimquisition I don't think I'll be buying this (I probably will).

Heh - my current build on my TR guy is kinda an exploit. 10 druid, 6 ranger, 4 fighter - use wolf form. You get stacking haste/double attacks from taking single weapon fighting feats, and the two weapon feats from ranger. They stack in a way that I guess isn't intended with wolf form. Combine...

What cracks me up is some of you sad sacks actually thought this game looked awesome with those retarded graphics. I remember the excited hype during Ponytail's big presentation.

I've been reading more about this game and watching some videos. I like that they're doing things differently with the soul system and quasi perma-death. When I first read about it, it seemed like you'd live a life, then die, then start a new life, with some benefits based on what you did during...

Yeah, it's worth the box price - you'll get a lot of hours of fun out of it if you just take it for what it is - a fairly shallow, single player, theme park game with the ability to bring in strangers for the odd dungeon here and there. Don't count on any end-game content to be compelling, and...

Looks really cool; can't believe I wasn't following this one already. Do they have a funding total listed anywhere? Are they transparent about progress?

I haven't looked at this game since the Kickstarter. It seemed very promising. Anyone willing to post a quick summary about why things are looking bad for it now?

When you say 'went persistent' does that mean that the current version won't ever be wiped? They'll just keep adding updates until release, and so on?

So, this game is still kicking. I was bored last couple months and went back to it. I've now completed something like 28 lives on my main guy. He's pretty badass. I love the True Reincarnation system, and just kinda wish the game wasn't so old/dated. The character development system with TR's...

I played this for a month. It was novel and kinda fun, but then I saw the level of grinding I'd need to do to be competitive, and asked myself, "Why?" In the past, the answer to that question would be something along these lines: Competition - it's a new IP, and I want to be on the edge of the...

I posted a lot in the old forums about this game. I was a fanboy at first, but then a lot of things happened that made me really hate Bethesda (yes, ZOS is separate, but trust me, Bethesda is calling the shots.) They really had a chance to make a great game, and I think Matt Firor had a good...

Well, their latest "Around the Verse" episode just came out, and it's the best one yet. They show off a lot of cool shit they're working on , and you get to see a lot of the Idris (capital ship) interior when you see the procedural damage/sound tech they're working on. Worth a view, even if you...
