SHIT GAME VAPORWARE CULTIST TRASH LOW PERFORMANCE NO MAN'S SKY WAS BETTER AT LEAST ED IS A FINISHED GAME YOU GUYS
Adam Campbell
Who let splitfag make the OP again?
Oliver Campbell
If free money is not enought to make a awesome game, than the entire idea behind kickstarter is stupid and the site should shut down.
Also if even free money is not enought to make awesome game ideas become real, this means we will have to live with shit games they do nowadays until the heat death of the universe
William Howard
You did You did not make a new thread with an OP to your liking before him so he made one instead You are to blame kys
Leo Taylor
Is there a list of which studios are responsible for specific ship designs
Lucas Collins
>than the entire idea behind kickstarter is stupid and the site should shut down. I think people forget that KS was not founded under the idea to crowdfund video games. Even now, its something they don't fully support. They seem much more interested in "tangible" goods
Andrew Russell
>The launcher ONLY accepts your normal RSI password. >try normal password several times; all fail >try new special PTU password which is explictly not supposed to work >works fucking bravo
Oliver Foster
>kys You need to be 18+ to browse this website.
Grayson Parker
>I think people forget that KS was not founded under the idea to crowdfund video games.
The point is assuming that even free money is not enought to make sure super ultra awesome games exist, this means we will need to live with those shitty games we get every year.
Xavier Lewis
Maybe
Luis White
AI & npc have been gameplay mechanics since the dawn of video game. Without them some game become lose all interest, including multiplayer PvP game. So why are you saying it "doesn't count"? Beside nayposting
Benjamin Price
That looks like Davos from game of thrones
Michael Morgan
It is.
Evan Hernandez
UK: MISC, Aegis, capital ships Whatever studio Coonz is in: Drake&RSI Dunno about the rest
Christian Perry
That's difficult because some of the ships got passed around more than OP's mom
Foundry 42 had to un-fuck a few of them
Brayden Martin
kickstarter should work like this
1-You send money to kickstarter 2-Money stays there. 3-If the project is not funded, the money will go back to you, if not the money will stay there. 4-The developers get money from normal methods and can`t ask for further donations. 5-After the product is released with EVERYTHING they told they would do, your money that is still at kickstarter will go their accounts.
This way if they dont make a game that has EVERY SINGLE THING they promised they will just lose money. They still get "free money" but only after the thing is developed
Alexander Morales
I guess it depends in what context you consider AI.
For example, the racing mechanic, the mechanic would be lap counters and path checkpoints. NPC or Player opponents I'd categorize more under gameplay experience in that situation.
In Vanduul Swarm, the mechanic is pushing button makes ship gun fire. When projectile hits enemy, it decrements their shield, then health until they die. The Vanduul AI pilot is not the mechanic.
Christopher Ramirez
Don't get mad at me because you failed yourself
Andrew Hernandez
That completely and totally defeats the purpose of a kickstarter though. What the fuck.
Connor Brown
I think you are confused user, kickstarter money isn't some reward for making a game, its funding specifically for making a game.
Carter Jackson
>5-After the product is released with EVERYTHING they told they would do, your money that is still at kickstarter will go their accounts.
The entire point of KS is to fund development, not pad the bottom line. If a studio could afford to developed without crowdfunding, you wouldn't need crowdfunding.
Andrew King
Crytek please, just because you don't pay your employees doesn't mean someone else shouldn't either.
Jackson Long
I just had the smoothest experience in a 3.0 PTU so far. No major bugs, no physics fuckery, no sudden stuttering. FPS were about 20-25 consistently, except in Levski. I even completed a mission. Managed to never crash my ship anywhere. First time I could actually experience what the game was supposed to become, and it felt pretty good.
Camden Thomas
So is 3.0 now available to everybody?
Cameron Morgan
The entire point of the idea is that they can't say "fuck you, its not my money anyway, I wont release this promised thing"
Kayden Scott
It's not live, but you can opt into the PTU.
Ian James
all backers, yes
Ian Sanders
Your idea is fucking shit and you must be retarded not to see that.
Eli Young
That's called Fraud. That's already illegal
Cameron Hughes
This is advanced bait user, well done.
The point of kickstarter is to allow consumers to fund projects that otherwise wouldnt have funding.
Andrew Williams
Dude, if they don't get the money until after they made the game, then WHAT IS THE POINT OF CROWDFUNDING
Caleb Sanchez
RODINA is a better underdog project.
Pros: True 1:1 scale planet, Ship customization A level.
Cons: Still early access
Caleb Reed
Anyone else excited about the random-encounters they mentioned in last week's ATV?
Really hoping that includes derelicts
Nathaniel Moore
Do you mean interdiction or is this something else
Gabriel Hughes
>The entire point of the idea is that they can't say "fuck you, its not my money anyway, I wont release this promised thing" Your idea still wont work, because some stupid developer could ask for less than what they need and they would prefer to stop the development then continue working at it.
If they finish the game, the kickstarters donations will only pay for part of the development, since they asked for less money than they needed and they will lose more money by finishing the game.
Look, I know that you are angry because some awesome idea you saw at kickstarter was funded wont be made, but this a game that is impossible to win, there is no way to solve the problem of great ideas not being made even with the help of crowdfunding.
Connor Hughes
>The point of kickstarter is to allow consumers to fund projects that otherwise wouldnt have funding.
Like Clang and The Dead Linger?
Matthew Nelson
Both were funded by consumers and otherwise wouldn't have had funding, so ya
Julian Parker
So when do we get the hangar wreathe and xmas tree back?
Connor Ortiz
I said specifically those 2 games because they werent finished, despise getting all the money needed
Ryder King
In what way is that different? It looks like it's in earlier stages than SC, and graphically everything in it looks like I literally shit it out.
Brayden Sanchez
So?
Henry Baker
They didn't get all the money they needed. Production of TDL stopped because they weren't bringing in enough money to pay their developers and in the end, when it was down to a final guy trying to make the project work, he didn't stop until he couldn't survive off of it anymore.
Michael Hughes
>True 1:1 scale planet Why is that a pro?
Zachary Morris
They mentioned that the system would randomly generate events during QT that would pull you out, which could be pirates interdicting you, but could also be a anomalies like a giant asteroid with some stuff on it to explore, etc.
Brayden Perry
There's more than one game mechanics and that term cover almost everything. >Game mechanics are constructs of rules or methods designed for interaction with the game state,
In a race game, racer AI is still a game mechanic, especially if smart enough to use aerodynamic drafting, or push you out of the road. It doesn't matter if you can win against AI (because the developers let you or they are stupid), having to interact with them make them count. The lap counter is more of a UI features, only the number of lap go into gameplay -mechanics In Vanduul swarm, if the Vanduul AI got noticeably smarter it would be a game mechanic. In Admiral dream world, if his high-level 40 npc crew allow his Javelin to solokill a 40 players guilds or get powned slightly slower than without them, this is still a game mechanic. A game don't need to have "strategy" in its defined genre for the AI to matter.
please nobody start a npc crew shitstorm, I'm not taking position.
Justin Russell
Are you tellling kickstarter backers should do the job of the developers and think if the amount of money they asked for is enought to fund the game because if not asking enought money to fund the game is a excuse for it not being developed, this means that everytime a backer try to fund a game he will need to think "is this amount of money enought to fund the game" and if the answer is a no, not donate to it.
This is a imppossible thing anyway, as backers wont know how the development process of the developers work to be able to imagine if the money is enought or not
Isaiah Thomas
PSA: If you are still having terrible performance in the PTU, then you need to set your minimum CPU speed to 100% in advanced power settings.
I went from 12-15 to 25+ with only this change.
Ryder Parker
That's a fair point. Base Vanduul AI vs Vanduul Ace AI id definitely a game mechanic
I'm just hoping they actually reveal something more substantive today, since we've seen plenty of the AI already, but have seen virtually nothing about scanning, ship-to-ship docking, medbays, etc.
Adam Rodriguez
rodina is kino
Lucas Gray
Yes actually, that would work perfectly. If the backers look at the game, and realize oh that might be a cool idea, but I don't think that it will get done with that amount of money then they can either A) not be a stupid fuck with their money and not back it or B) email them asking why is X amount of money enough to fund your game when Y could happen and delay its progress? and if they aren't satisfied with the answer, then suggest different funding, or just not back it like a fucking retard.
It's investing. You could get money out of it, or lose money from it. You could get entertainment from it, or lose time and money from it. You're supposed to look into it yourself. Not be a jackass.
Cameron Adams
high power profile does that
Cooper Parker
>it's a mechanic players can't use and which makes no sense episode
John Sanders
What doesn't make sense? Freelancer had basically the same thing
Kayden Rogers
'Threadly' reminder that TotalBiscuit will die of cancer before Star Citizen will have it's commercial release.
Carson Torres
Just loaded into the PTU. I haven't really touched the game since 2.6.3. Any keybindings I should know? What is the console command to show fps again?
Matthew Robinson
how was the mission?
Jackson Walker
things randomly pulling you out of quantum when there is no actual system for doing that.
freelancer had nothing like it. there were random encounters and they had cruise disrupters which anyone could use.
Ryder Thomas
There aren't keybinding anymore.
Nathaniel Lewis
Well they said the system is actually built and working, they just didn't include it in PTU because it was pulling them out too often and felt like final fantasy random encounters, so it needs more balancing
Less than interdiction it'd be kind of neat if maybe your sensors could pick up something like you're describing while warping, and you could choose to check it out
The raven is billed specifically as an interdiction ship though I don't see how that would actually work
Nathaniel Thomas
S
Nathan Parker
Rodina is already playable. SC will never be release. It´s just a robbery for dump people who buy smoke.
Sebastian Gomez
I like this resurgence of space games,but what's there to do in Rodina that's not already better in Star Citizen.Also >singleplayer
Angel Nelson
What's the in game console command to display fps?
Aiden Nguyen
r_DisplayInfo 3
Hudson James
can we play as females in 3.0 or are we still stuck as men?
Cooper Bailey
stuck as men
Ryan Perry
aww
Ethan Garcia
Pre-order canceled.
Aiden Russell
When is it due for?
Ayden Myers
90 days
Juan Cooper
I don't think they are focused in females stuff. maybe in 4.0? whats up with the 90 days meme
Anthony James
For the entire second half of 2015 Derek claimed CIG would 'collapse within 90 days'.
is controller support completely broken or what? I can't even pitch and yaw.
why are the mouse and keyboard controls so awful too?
even the placeholder 2.0 stuff was better than this garbage.
Isaac Bennett
Honestly I wanted to know to specifically avoid foundry 42 ships
They look really busy and are a bit of a mess
Drake seems to do alright, the new freelancer looks great
David Edwards
>Freelancer
I mean cutlass, though to be fair to foundry, the prospector is decent, im surprised they made it.
David Fisher
20 FPS with a 970 and OC'd 3570k while on planet. Also death to the faggots who think not being able to see in your cutlass is good design.
Andrew Taylor
It was just one of those trash missions. I could pick up and drop the boxes normally, although the mission was already marked as "finished" when I QT'd away, so dropping them into space was just a formality.
Sebastian Ortiz
is there a noticeable improvement when SC is saved on an SSD vs HDD, or is it just the initial loading screen?
Nicholas Williams
>sitting at my computer grooving to some music in the background >realize it's pretty good and try to tab over and see what I'm listening to >quickly remember it's the launcher what the fuck, good music in my star citizen?
Elijah Myers
>guy pays you to get rid of some shit for him >job is deemed complete as soon as you leave because he does not give a single fuck where it goes as long as it's gone
Samuel Phillips
Loading only.
Matthew Torres
You're not wrong, but the mission objective explicitly stated to "dump" it. Also I don't think me flying away with evidence would sit well with a criminal.
Aaron Ramirez
Is the stream going to be on their twitch or what
Kevin Walker
>this violin track Chris, my fucking heart. let me get in game before making my cry
Lincoln Gonzalez
Finally finished loading the new PTU launcher + game, but now I can't launch. I keep getting a "cannot open data.p4k" error, and google isn't helping :^(
Brody Fisher
can't launch the launcher, or the game? if you can get the launcher running try verifying files
Michael Perez
Launcher works fine, and I've verified the files a few times now.
Gabriel Ramirez
Speaking of, anyone know the name for the grimhex theme? Or a link to it
Christian Johnson
holy shit, I thought you guys were just memeing at the old song. Wtf I love Chris now.
