I wonder how much of that money they're wasting on big actors?

Figure about 4-5 million per A-List actor for 4 months of voice acting and MoCap performance.

- Gary Oldman (5 million)
- Mark Hamill (5 million)
- Mark Strong (5 million)
- Gillian Anderson (4 million)
- Andy Serkis (5 million)

stop embarrassing yourself and stop posting in star citizen threads. honestly, stick to topics where we can't tell you're crazy. because now that I know, I won't be able to unsee it. you're ruined for me forever

...You don't actually work in the industry, do you?

not like you do. tell us all about your experience working on GTA and elder scrolls. because that's what you're comparing star citizen to, right? the other big games you've worked on for 5-10 years?

everyone criticizing this game for not being done is stupid. all games are not done until they're done. where were you in 2002 when half life 2 was a disaster? that's right, you were sitting at home, happy and ignorant because they didn't show you any of the game's development.

this is your first experience with game development. what you thought was game development before was actually marketing materials made by ladies upstairs for gullible geeks like you.

star citizen will look bad until everything comes together 1 month before release, just like every other game you have no idea about. keep sucking your thumbs

this company is printing money by selling shit that doesn't exist, and you geniuses think they have money problems. jesus christ roberts

shield console is amazing and so is GRID (now geforce NOW). it's so new you don't know what you're missing

I can't tell jealousy apart from anti-capitalism here. is anyone actually concerned about the welfare of the people buying this ship? I feel like the people with such disposable income must be okay, so I'm personally not worried

to be fair it's more like a $450 ship

The unlawful part is advertising unlimited and it not being unlimited. Not the booting or capping. They're allowed to boot and cap people. They just can't call it unlimited and boot and cap people for passing the limit. That's unlawful in any country where the good people have the power.

I never thought I'd see people complain about needing to buy a game.

The only diffence I see is that they are talking about it being multi player. (which is a massive diffenace I will admit)

and that star citizen maps can be millions of miles

they demonstrated traveling 3000km / 1800 miles at gamescom, but it kind of went over the heads of the press http://www.infinitelooper.com/?v=1qLcXt9Hxxo&p=n#/242;271

blue, this is the kind of post steve gibson made before he finally lost it

the game looks fine because progress is being made. I do think their schedule estimates will continue to be wrong. but the game will be finished within 10 years (normal for something new starting from scratch) and people will get what they paid for.

I AM SO ANGRY

Comments like these are the reason I LEFT the RSI forums.

let's just say it: you spent money on nothing and now you regret it.

you made a stupid decision, and now there's nothing you can do about it. your only recourse is whining online with other people who buy things that don't exist yet.

none of this is the fault of the developer. whether they succeed or fail, YOU screwed up first, and you take even less responsibility for this failure than chris roberts takes for his.

From Kxmode's post:

Proof that these guys only care about your money.

He asked for a refund a year after he bought it? That guy and anyone who agrees with him is incompetent.

I would be interested in discussing a law that makes crowdfunding donations/purchases refundable up until the date that the final product is released. I'm all for human rights. But such a law does not exist.

I picture this guy wearing rags to the local walmart to return unopened coca-cola which hasn't expired yet. Dear sirs: I need that money back. I haven't properly thought out my decision to invest in coca-cola

chris roberts should admit that his estimates are shit, but he can't because he's a narcissist. that said, if ANYONE tried to make this game it'd take 5-10 years. so criticizing him for not being done before he's done is ignorant.

every project is a clusterfuck of delays, and the only difference here is that they're telling you about it

reddit is a good concept and policing is not. the policing will not stop at the hateful reddits. the site will lose its distinctiveness over time and so will become irrelevant

I believe ben is honest. but he's a fan, and fans are blind

blizzard employees are always smug shitty bastards. here's the truth about the butcher:

https://www.hotslogs.com/Sitewide/HeroDetails?Hero=The+Butcher

click "All Leagues" and set it to any skill level you want. look at the level 20 skill win rates at the bottom. the top Butcher build has a 62-68% win rate in all skill levels. and it GROWS in higher ranks, rather than shrinks.

hotslogs is an approximation, but there is a lot of data there, and it makes a lot of sense. most other heroes have good win rates when you look at the same stat, so I'm not sure how hotslogs is processing the data or exactly what it means. but it doesn't seem to line up with blizzard to me.

what blizzard employees neglect to mention is that new heroes have a price premium and "accidentally" making them a little too good is good for the bottom line.

It is, without a doubt, pay to win. I love the MechWarrior universe but even it was too much for me.

good post. I've never played, but I imagine the developers should cap each team to the same value. 1 heavy + 1 light mech versus 2 mediums, etc. or even make each team equal: x heavies on both teams, etc.
