Looks like Paul Sage's Linkedin has confirmed the rumor. He's creative director at Gearbox now? Poor bastards.

Maybe instead of arguing with people about whether their opinion is wrong or not, you could argue based on the merits you see in the game. What do you think ESO has done right? I will admit that it had quite a few things that appealed to me in the beginning, and I was willing to overlook the...

I enjoyed all the dungeons the first few times. Problem is, Zenimax has been trying to stretch those dungeons as "end game" content for the last 15 months. They showed a lot of really cool content they were working on at Quakecon last year. Then some suit said fuck all those PC subs - drop...

Looks like the console folks like it. **sigh**

I just pray chris roberts doesn't throw him a bone.

Apparently this game is selling like hot cakes. Probably due to people like Utnayan buying it for all their kids. A pity, because Sage is going to get patted on the back by the money guys, his ego will inflate to sub orbital levels, and we can continue to expect more console driven content...

If you read the dev tracker there about 20 pages of posts trying to put out fires regarding long queues, server lag, etc. Sounds like they didn't fix shit, and the only hope is a drastic drop in player demand. (Like what happened with PC.) They clearly lack talent in coding, as they admitted...

Paul Sage was on yesterday's console AMA. I think someone might have had bad intel.

Rescorla, if you feel good about the game and the level of integrity that Sage and his team have shown, then I can't say anything other than, "Good for you!" Am I miserable that I bought the game and played it for hundreds of hours? Of course not - I got my money's worth. I'm rather pissed...

Oh, I see what you mean ...lol

I'm plenty pissed about the direction of this game's development, and the lies spun by devs, but I'm not sure what you are talking about. The game's combat is pretty action based when the server and latency are working right. Look up pvp vids by Sypher - they highlight the potential that's been...

You serious? All new content was put on hold last September so they could focus on console. You really cool with nothing new to do since craglorn? How about all the promised pvp features that never happened? How about the dumbing down of the UI once Sage and Firor realized they were going to...

Apparently they've already sold "millions" of console copies, so the only lesson Zenimax and Bethsoft have learned is that it's smart to keep focusing on consoles and fucking PC players over. Guess I gotta keep hoping crowd funded PC games are successful. Hope SC can pull it off. Edit...

The PC version suffered from the same problems. The only fix they found for stability of the server, broken quests, missing NPCs, etc., was for a large percentage of their player base to stop playing. Their server and network code just seems to break under heavy load. I suppose, since it's B2P...

On an amusing note: apparently your Xbox live or ps4 handle is your character's displayed name on console. Also, proximity voice chat cannot be ignored on a character by character basis: all or nothing. Some other fun shit coming outta console release, like NA server down all night or some...

May report out. It's.... long. Monthly Report: May - Roberts Space Industries

They've said a couple different times that the F8 will only be able to be acquired in the PU via capture or maybe as rare rewards from the military.

Someone who got ahold of the leaked data was able to rip out some of the FPS along with a semi-working build of Mobiglass.

Those are good concerns, and I share them to some extent. I'm pretty optimistic, though (see how that worked out for me with ESO, hah), and if you read between the lines, you realize that their various studios and teams are working on pretty different things. While they have guys in Santa...

I'm not sure how much you follow the game, so if this stuff is old news and you mean you just wanted more info, my apologies: Design overview of the SC economy: The Star Citizen Economy - Roberts Space Industries Design overview of mining in SC: Star Citizen Careers: Mining -...

Some news today: A really thorough update on the FPS (with info about the PU buried within): Star Marine FPS Update - Roberts Space Industries Starfarer sale with a military variant + LTI available: Fleshing out the Starfarer - Roberts Space Industries

Be sure to check out this design doc on cargo handling. They are going way beyond Privateer, Elite, etc. when it comes to handling goods. Gives you a sneak peak at how the character will interact with shit in the PU, too. Design: Cargo Interaction - Roberts Space Industries

I had a Gladius for a while and melted it to upgrade to a Super Hornet when the came on sale. The SH has a shit load of firepower, and it's tough, but I actually did better against multiple enemies with the Gladius - it just maneuvers so much better.

Starter package is all you need. You can play the various Arena Commander (very fun and worth dicking around with) game modes with either starter ship. They both kinda suck, but you can earn REC (rental credits) enough to rent a Gladius within a few hours of playing. You'll have that rental for...

People have hobbies, bro. We all escape reality in our own way. I can't figure guys out that are all into baseball stats or fantasy football. I've got a couple ships in my hangar though, and sometimes I load up the game just to walk around them and think about what I'll do when the PU launches.

Starting tomorrow, those shitlords are going to begin hyping this console launch and the soulless hacks that dumbed this game down and destroyed any hopes of sandbox content will have their strategy validated. I hate consoles more every year.

At first, I laughed.. then I felt depressed.

Oh, wanna call me out some more, eh? Well, I won't lie - I had a lot of fun in this game for quite a few months. I'd say it was worth the box price plus sub to me. The problem is, I was making excuses in my head for the things that weren't right with the game, and I was fully operating under...

Cadwell isn't random. Annoying, but not random.

That's interesting. Hadn't heard about the EA poaching. I really hope CR is smart enough to offer shares to some of the key talent. Might not be able to afford those EA wages now, but 2% of CIG might be worth a lot if this game ever comes to fruition...

Considering they already have a fun multi player dog fight game, and a FPS module launching this month or next, I don't think Duke Nukem is a good comparison.

I dunno how many people were at Crytek, but considering the list above, and the other Crytek employees that went to Foundry 42 in the UK, I wonder how much Amazon is going to be getting for its money...

They finally did a tour of the new CIG German office. Some serious talent there. Like, it's basically guys who made Cryengine, and some other heavy hitters like Todd Papy. It looked like serious business in there too - like 90% engineers and 10% management. Isn't that the opposite of most...

Pretty sure we don't even have the option of nameplates because Sage doesn't want SS or videos popping up all over with them. He A) thinks it makes the game look too much like WoW and B) doesn't want everyone to see that he was wrong and that nameplates are preferred.

This. They stopped giving a shit what PC players, and MMO players in particular, want around May of last year. That's when the light bulb went off that this wasn't going to sell like WOW. That's when the suits decided to keep stringing PC players along as beta testers for console P2P. The...

Might wanna hold off for a while: Also, I heard that 1.1 is not working great for Joystick aiming - lots of chatter on forums about it. Just remember, it's a work in progress as they try to refine the different control schemes.

Absolutely right. I've been playing almost exclusively Vanduul Swarm Cco-op since 1.1. I just don't want to get in to Battle Royale with 5 other try-hards hacking their xml files so they can run bigger than intended guns, or flying their limited military ships just so they can mop up on...

Not trying to talk shit here, but I think you just need practice. Mouse is perfectly good, in fact people on the main forums that have expensive joysticks are trying to get mouse nerfed because it's so good at aiming. I play with mouse and have managed to clear all 18 vanduul waves. The trick...

Yeah, I was only going to buy a starter kit too. WAS. It's like cocaine to me now. I guess I'm not playing anything else at least, so I'm getting some entertainment value from watching the development and fucking around on the forums, right? As far as P2W everything - well I currently own...

I played the shit outta this game. I have a guy that's TR'd every class, and some of them 3 times. I have 4 characters in epic levels, my main TR maxed all the destinies, etc. I have bags full of greensteel and other shit I was hoarding, but then I left about 1.5 years ago, and don't really...
