You know I fucking hate arguing with people like you because you drag me down into the gutter where you beat me with experience. This is the last time I will ever make a comment about this as a result. You blame me for defending a point about the project you claim nobody argued against...

Fair enough.

What scam? Every project I backed has completed ending up with a good game. The only failure I experienced was a project that didn't meet it's initial goal and had to fold for now. Maybe do a better job researching the project and more carefully pledge your money? Just a suggestion.

As that dev mentioned, and I think he is right, it would devastate KS and other projects. The only ones left standing would be the few who have pushed out games already and have a proven track record. That's going to be a short list. He also rightly points out that the inane echo chamber...

I don't post anywhere else because you guys don't play the games I do. Way too many console games and other games I have no interest in. Also if this was a sock puppet account it would have comments all over the fucking place to make it highly unlikely to ever be noticed. There is an entire...

Care to mention something I'm wrong on? I'm not saying I'm never wrong. Hell I fuck up all the time and I'm running on mostly coffee and 5hr of sleep all week so chances are I probably did fuck up. But if that's the overall perception I would rather address it and correct it than let it...

The insane hostility I see constantly when I dare to bring up facts is just.. ugh.. why do I bother? It's right there buddy. I took the time to go look up the info on 64bit and posted it. Want me to setup a slideshow? They started the process of conversion most likely in early 2014. You...

EDIT: Site sucks for trying to attach gifs... bleh

He had a number of major facts wrong. 64 bit precision is probably the biggest. This is from around mid to early May 2013: - Chris Roberts Ok so that establishes how they first viewed the problem and one stop-gap solution. Lets fast forward a bit to Oct 11 2014. During the Live...

Someone over on Reddit compiled the entire list of Stretch Goals and their current status. Worth a peek. Probably worth another peek every 6 months to accurately see how much progress they are making.

All current and planned $5 Access Passes are officially eliminated. They reached 1 Million Citizens and as a thanks promptly gave everyone who had Access Passes with their packages UEC (in-game currency) as compensation and those that purchased the Passes got a $5 credit on their account...

Yeah this my worry as well. You need people to do their jobs but some people just shouldn't be allowed near leadership roles. I'll put my hand up and I'm one of those people. I'll happily man any station on a cap ship knowing that my contributions will lead to victory or defeat but yeah...

Don't ever play EVE.

Only the largest ships will require a massive crew. Every single ship can be piloted by 1 person. Other crew stations can be manned by NPCs you hire. However some stations just cannot be done by NPCs since the AI doesn't exist to a degree where complex information can be communicated to the...

Two points. 1. CCP stopped development on EVE's FPS at the character model and housing level. They wanted to give you the ability to actually interact with NPCs and other players on the station. They spent a ton of time and money on this and the community was rightly outraged that basic...

Design for matchmaking was revealed well over a year ago. It just doesn't exist yet since they are trying to get the basics of the game working. Some facts on it. Lets say they can only ever get 50 ships and players in any map. This is still unknown since they are still optimizing but...

FPS Teaser for CitCon.

This is pretty neat.From ATV 2.2

Dude I'm going on like 3 hours sleep and I'm about to hit up EQ. Give me a chance to enjoy myself a little. I'll try to remember to come back to this later and do a more intelligent post. Can't be assed right now.

Last post for this weekend because honestly I have better things to do like Project 1999. Double XP weekend bitches! So you are making grand sweeping assumptions of what obtaining these ships mean. Some of them are valid as I mentioned. It will have some knock on effects on both pirates...

After re-reading everything you wrote on the subject to date I would say you have spoken like someone who spent more time arguing about SC here on the forums than it takes to read the most basic section of the FAQ for the game. Since I want to say something really unkind it's best to not say...

Sure you will have an advantage if you start in a larger hauler for example vs a noob. There is no disputing that. However there is nothing preventing the noob from obtaining that same hauler later down the road. Can they spend money to obtain it? Sure. Can they obtain it completely through...

No new feature has been released. There hasn't been for I don't know how long now... 60 million mark or so? What you are seeing is them filling in more information on things mentioned like 6-12 months ago as development progresses. This is the problem when trying to discuss a project like...

Bullshit. This is coming from a person who never played AC. If you had you would know that someone better than you can stomp your ass in a "lesser" ship. Skill matters much more than gear. The comparison is only valid when you pit equally skilled players against one another. At that point...

Ok I'm just going to point out right now that fucking nobody is ever going to post the actual Design Doc for anything from any game currently in production. Ever. It just invites bullshit arguments from people that don't have all the facts. So you aren't wrong in saying that it's basically...

I would very much like to remind everyone what SOE did with SWG when they turned away from classless skills and went to a "progression" path with classes. It's still considered one of the most epic examples of a company shitting the bed in the gaming industry. I wouldn't be surprised if it was...

The "industry" is not crowdfunded and the majority of people don't buy indi games with few exceptions. Big corporations with stockholders rule the industry. The only big name studio that does some innovation is... excuse me while I puke a little... Ubisoft. They experiment with risky games...

Do you ever follow the news? This type of low brow journalism has become common even at places like the NYT. It's how the whole Valerie Plame story blew up or how Jeffrey Wigand had non-stop hit pieces against him in newspapers for months. While those cases are extreme examples on individuals...

Do you realize how insanely naive you sound when you say you want to see the project burn to improve the gaming and MMO industry? Do you even know what they are talking about when discussing SC? That thank fucking god we have a multi-million dollar top tier PR firm and marketing team and...

This right here. They give a lot of talented people a chance that are new to not only the gaming industry but also the entertainment industry. However not all of them like to work in these kinds of conditions. It's pretty hard. There is no way to truly know if you fit culturally or not...

I can't do it justice. Here is the Design Doc for the ship

That's the Master Set which is the ship + 1 of every type of Pod/Module they have come up with so far. The thing is that's not necessary for the ship to be fully loaded. There are several configurations of the ship that are more or less fully loaded and don't cost anywhere near that. All...

Oh man if people buying EA games knew what the fuck EA execs were doing with their game budgets. Holy shit would they be pissed. Some of them could easily have been mistaken for big time Financial Industry types. Identical mentality. Not sure if things have calmed down since. Haven't been...

Actually it's entirely possible that she funded the film project out of pocket as an Angel Investor. Did she? I don't fucking know. Neither do you. Not without a huge pile of paper to sort through and an expert to look them over that can make sense of it. Throw enough shit at a wall you...

I personally wouldn't put too much stock in this guy. He spent well over 6 years creating an abject failure of a game that still, lets be polite, needs work and calls out CIG that has had maybe 3 years of dev time so half of his on delivering a product. Chris' only mistake was assuming he...

I'm just gonna leave this here.

Lol at badass EVE players. You forget I played against some of these people. Once you know the basic game mechanics the skill of playing is literally down to timing. After that first engagement you can afk and fuck off and it probably won't matter. So many people do that. As for the rest...

So now we are debating what is or isn't hardcore. This isn't fucking CoD and it isn't fucking EVE. Both have astonishingly horrible gameplay mechanics and the only thing holding the cheese strings together people call gameplay is either instant gratification (COD) or...

If it isn't common it's an edge case. I don't care how simple it is. That's just the way it is. I realize what you are saying but you literally have to teach people to do this. How else would they know? I had no fucking clue until you mentioned this and I had nearly 7 years of experience in...

Ok let me set you straight on instancing. You could watch some videos but I'll sum it up super quick. The PVP slider cannot be turned off it goes from a factor of 1 to 100 not 0 to 100. Furthermore it's a suggestion to the instance manager not a requirement. If you are mostly mining and...
