I played the demo of this and it was excellent.

If you've ever complained about bad early access games that never get finished, you need to buy this. Rather than selling you 20 hours of badness for $20 and then never fixing it, these guys have made a few hours of goodness for $20 and it's done. We'll see if people back up their words with their wallets and support a dev that was actually able to limit their scope and finish something.

wow, that's a great way of not providing clarity by not saying "ceasing direct development and overseeing external development" -- can you tell they're not not owned by microsoft

I agree that still seems too complicated. They're selling 3 old games together as one product, and the DLC for two of them together as one product, and then I guess you're meant to run one .exe no matter what, and then the in-game store sells items and such.

Is there any game that does this?

I guess it's an improvement over what they had before, so that's good.

The "deluxe" content doesn't seem to review well on Steam, so I suggest skipping that, and the "world of assassination" pack is 3 old games, so I suggest not paying $70 for that. Get that one on sale 50% off sometime.

Epic turning off Unreal, WutFace

oh shit, with that many mods it's a different game, and should coexist beside the original. bad news if it overwrites and destroys the original award-winning game with a bunch of mods, no matter how good they are.

I played the demo and it has a delightful sense of movement!

Chivalry may be dead? What?

That's a joke about a joke. Originally some old guys whined about things changing, and to them "chivalry" meant the old ways of people following rules and being polite, whereas the French revolutionaries wanted to topple monarchy etc. Our joking literary use today can be traced back to people making fun of "The age of chivalry is gone" by edmund burke https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-were-edmund-burke-s-key-points-in-his-301631 and something similar from lord byron https://www.enotes.com/topics/don-juan/quotes/cervantes-smiled-spains-chivalry-away

It was their way of saying "kids these days". Now, if you see someone saying it, it might be used like they're rolling their eyes and sarcastically making fun of drama queens. The relevance in this news post is just that the game has the word Chivalry in the name, so it's a fun play on words.

Anyway, in any case, Blue didn't mean that Chivalry the game is dead. It's fine, you're fine, everything's fine!

this deal is a good fit because Activision was doomed and sony has better games. it should go through, just with conditions.

No backup Reminder to everyone, if it's worth having, it's worth backing up!

GL Blue, you're the best, we'll be waiting!

this looks like valheim if the valheim devs didn't stop working on it when they got rich

> FTX?

Unlike crypto, Star Citizen is actually smart, successful, and creating products for customers. It just happens to also be an aimless ship fetisher collection game that will never be finished and only exists to generate funding for Chris Roberts' filmmaking ambitions. BUT they're actually doing something, unlike crypto, which is literally just get-rich-quick scams.

Can anyone confirm the multi-core support on this title?

They forked from cryengine a long time ago, but yes it's still single core constrained. Performance has been improved, but they have a long way to go. There was a scene at citizencon today showing the inside of a big space station, and it ran like 10 fps.

a skeleton of game which works most of the time. I think it is pretty clear the game is no where close to being ready for prime time and personally I'm not sure it ever will be.

I'm a fan of SC and I can confirm your feelings. SC is garbage for normal people, and will remain garbage for normal people indefinitely. It is paid for and loved by virtual vehicle collectors. The vehicles are beautiful, but they're not a game.

lol this is horrible. these games were classics abandoned by the developer which was acquired and apparently destroyed. and now the games are being erased from history. what a terrible trend

the spiritual successor with an upgraded version of the engine is automobilista 2, made by people who love propping up the racing genre.

about free flys frequency, yes CIG does it because they're desperate for money.

about the wrong min/recommended specs, yes CIG lies about it because they're desperate for money.

to play at 1080p, I'd say the minimum specs are: 9700k, RTX 2070, any SSD.

Hey Dr Disrespect when are you gonna tell us why you got banned? Never? Okay.

Yeah, I feel really bad for anyone too stupid to put 2 and 2 together about this guy. He's a liar, cheater, and scumbag. He did something so horrible that Twitch ended a multimillion dollar contract and banned him, and then he lied to his fans about not knowing why, and a lot of them believe that lol. Yes, he was funny, but you don't need to be a sucker for a scumbag just because he's funny.

The fact that the most prominent use of cryptocurrency is in a handful of bad games is hilarious and sad.

I encourage everyone curious to try the game for free. It's really bad as a game, but as a free tech demo, it's a fun experiment. SC remains many, many years away from being what a normal person would call a game.

Almost all the money SC makes is funneled into S42, which is presumably the biggest project management failure in gaming history. We're talking Duke Nukem Forever Squared here. Total failure of leadership. The most important SC news recently (which the press have missed) is various SC dev teams being moved to work on S42, the justification being that everything from S42 will eventually filter down into SC, lol.

They're right, Kotick is 100% selling the company to escape. I happen to think the deal looks good, but if Kotick hadn't run the company into the ground, or had been forced out sooner, the deal wouldn't have needed to be done. Now, it's a good deal.
