| Might actually jump into this now... I picked it up when it first released, but it was too sparse with content to really get into. As is usual with FDEV, give them a year or so and it will fill out. |

He cares because the game was supposed to be offline with an online component.
I get that people invested in the Kickstarter might have a gripe, but no one after the beta has grounds to complain... which has to be over 90% of the player base now.

I fucking hate their business model, selling ppl paint jobs, ship spoilers and other useless crap...but if you don't really want to do spreadsheets in space, this is it...at least until Star Citizen comes out. Why would this piss you off? This game basically plays like an MMO, but without the monthly subscription.
The stuff you are complaining about is purely cosmetic. There is no money you can spend to buy your way into a better ship. There's no way you can buy your way into being a better commander than other players.
I am closing in on 1,000 hours in the game and the one thing I bought outside of Horizons was a 99 cent paint job for my asp. I'm fine if you don't like the game, but having minor cosmetic purchase options is one of the least egregious things I can think of them doing. |

| My (8 year old) son and I still play Tropico 2 together. I never understood why people didn't care for that game, it's so much fun. We just can't get into the Kalypso era Tropico. |

That ZDNET article gives me chills... Windows 10 S as the model going forward, whitelisting, UWP/metro/closed garden only? FU! Even Apple doesn't dare to have policies like these on the mac. |

| Awesome Freesync/Gsync comparison. Finally I feel like I understand some of the nuanced differences... poking through the FUD on the forums regarding this topic is a futile effort. |

Lol, I have an rx480 and I can't even use the auto downloader, it just hangs. |

As much as people shit on the way Frontier released Elite, incremental, highly focused releases are the way to do software development successfully. This "Everything and the kitchen sink" approach to Star Citizen's first commercial release is pie in the sky amateur hour stuff.
That all said, I didn't read the production schedule, but it looks like they put a lot of effort into it. I hope SC is a success, but right now the primary entertainment it's providing is the the form of reading these Blue's threads. |

The mid to end game was always pretty boring repetitive and just a dubious task to manage.
I think you can say this about every 4x game in existence. It's definitely the case for Galactic Civilizations III, Distant Worlds, Crusader Kings II, EU IV, Aurora 4x, etc.
Distant Worlds has the best late game, imo, because you have so much control over how you want the empire to run, but if you are a disorganized mess, the game will punish you severely. |

I'm about 4 hours into it... it's really good. I'm not sure how I feel about the journal that keeps track of the things you need to do... I kind of like the hardcore "figure this shit out yourself asshole" approach of the classic games... so far it's been a bit easy to progress. I just hope some of the puzzles eventually are brutally hard.
Day of the Tentacle was a great game back in the day, but I would have much rather seen them use this graphical design aesthetic. I can only imagine what Monkey Island 3 would have looked like if Ron did it. |

WTF is Snuggle Truck?!?!
It's actually a mobile game where you drive a truck and try to keep stuffed animals in it as you go over obstacles. Funny thing, the first version of this game was called Smuggle Truck and you had to try and smuggle mexicans over the border- much more interesting IMO.

I really wish Torn Banner just went and released a proper follow up to Chivalry. I have yet to play a game with better sword fighting than what they have. I find I keep craving the Chivalry mechanics whenever I play a game that uses the awful WoW fight mechanics- like Shroud of the Avatar.

| I don't think anyone can look at what the "at home" printing industry has done and say "yeah, this is the right way to do things." The market did not correct itself to address the high costs and customers were left confused at what their options actually were... It doesn't make sense that you can order much higher quality prints from professional online services at a fraction of the cost of printing at home. |
