As much as it may seem like a lost cause I think it's worth putting in the effort. There's only so long the critics of the game can bash the game before it proves them wrong, as it has done many times already.

Haha another ridiculous claim.

While it is true that the extreme doomsayers (of which I have never been a part FWIW) who predicted CIG would fold any minute now were proven wrong, everyone else (the regular skeptics) has not just been proven right but no one ever expected in their worst nightmares that CIG would suck as hard as they do.

I mean let's look at what we have here. According to Chris Roberts' own words we are now five years in and what do we have?

- Still no Squadron 42 which was originally promised to be out by November 2014 in its entirety. And what do we have? Not even a single episode and not even a single mission is done so it can be presented to the public at the annual fan show. L to the O to the L.
- A persistent universe with barely any persistence at all, a single half-assed star system out of 100, a 24 player max limit in a single fucking instance, ZERO finished gameplay systems... !Z-E-R-O! ... and to add insult to injury all of this half-assed shit is buggy as fuck, as stable as a wobbling bewb and connections about as reliable as back in the dial-up 56K US Robotic days

What CIG has "achieved" so far is so underwhelming that there are no words to properly describe the entire patheticness of it all.

Actually, yes it is. If expanding the scope of the project means having to throw out hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of work, then you have done something wrong in the planning and/or execution. You aren't 'expanding' anything. It's the difference between building a house and then building an extension, and building a house, bulldozing it flat and then building a bigger one.

Nonsense. Valve basically went back to the drawing board with the original Half-Life and that went onto be one of the definitive video games of all time; Team Fortress 2 was originally completely unrecognisable from the game it became; Valve also had major issues with Half-Life 2, resulting in significant delays but people now remember it as an all time classic game. What matters is the end result - iteration is an important aspect of video game development.

Honestly I don't know why you keep coming here (or myself for that matter) and trying to show most these morons how things are coming along and how their "facts" are non-facts. The Tech that RSI and the other teams have produced for SC and SQ42 is just jaw dropping and no one around here could do the same or wish they could do the same.

...

I like your determination and your passion to show these clowns what SC is going to be but like or the DEV road map but when they or something they state as truth is proven wrong, they move on to another complaint or another falsehood. And I doubt you'll ever change most of their minds. Oh and like I said before, you know almost if not all have or will get SC when its released so I think its funny in that way ...

As much as it may seem like a lost cause I think it's worth putting in the effort. There's only so long the critics of the game can bash the game before it proves them wrong, as it has done many times already. It's a major technological challenge and CIG has been doing an astonishing job. I have my issues with the game's development but overall it's moving very much in the right direction.

I typically find the whole "you're a sockpuppet/shill" argument moronic and, itself, paranoid, but both those guys do seem to use ellipses repeatedly (as do I, but...) and also seem to be the only people I've seen to put a space not only after, but before.

Yea, I was going to mention the grammatical thing too, but I thought that would be getting too deep. :p

Sockpuppet much?

Precisely what the ignore function is for.

Roflol, so because i only post on one subject and mostly call you morons out on you're "truths" ... lol ... you idiots make my work day go by so quick today i loved it. Go back to posting about your facts and realities and how it's all going to come Crashing Down it cracks me up

But... but... but... he is only interested in the SUPER-AWESOME TEKNOLOGEEEEE!!!111

I mean no other developer has ever had 64-bit precision in their game. No one has ever done procedural generation before. And no one has ever made a game where you can choose to play in 1st person or in 3rd person. ALL OF THIS IS GROUNDBREAKING U IDIOT!!!

As long as the money is rolling Roberts will just keep chugging along making new ships to sell, and putting together snazzy demos of small chunks of his grand idea. People who have put tons of $$$ into this game will "ooh" and "aaahh" at the "amazing tech" on display, while dates are pushed back again, another rewrite of "X" system is started so that in the end this amazing product can finally be published.

Rinse and repeat. The real trouble will begin if the money stops.

Lol, i think what "vexes" me about him is the complete denial that he is a loyal derek smart follower and then has the ballz to accuse someone else of being someone else when he doesn't have a clue. He tries to be witty and post links , just like DS and most his posts are just regurgitation of the DS fact chain. And then tries to change the subject when called out on it.

If he would look at any of my post, suspect or whatever, never have i said that i own SC, on the contrary, and most if not all are about the hope to see the tech because that is the only thing i like about sc and what that leap in tech will do for other games in the future. But whatever ... another 30 posts to go!

Don't worry guys, I'm going to change my handle to Chr1sRbrtz so you all have someone to yell at.

wait , wait , wait .. you accuse me of someone else and you tell me to stop having a conversation with you because you're vexed? lol ... dude ... you got me loling for the last 30mins ... making my day even better

NasWulf wrote on Oct 12, 2016, 14:05:
lol , wow ......... you truly are paranoid like derek a?

"Your post history is suspect."

Suspect; to have an idea or impression of the existence, presence, or truth of (something) without certain proof.

Paranoia; a mental condition characterized by delusions of persecution, unwarranted jealousy, or exaggerated self-importance, typically elaborated into an organized system.

If you can't bother to learn the difference then please stop engaging in a conversation with me. It vexes me.

lol , wow ......... you truly are paranoid like derek a? yep .. you really put me in my place ... wow

Your post history is suspect. Only Blue can tell us if you both share similar IPs.

I promised myself I wouldn't engage in tomfoolery, but you are someone who needs to be put in their place. You come back here because you're Wulf Knight; a WHALE of a Citizen to the tune of $22,000 (most definitely more today). You're infamous for be banned from RSI forums for hacking their system to buy a Javelin Destroyer. Yeah, you're "that guy." You have a lot of money invested in this game. So any slight against it goes beyond simple emotional attachment. It's a side business on the gray market.

By your logic, I must be the Wulf Knight too??

roflol you make derek proud

@NasWulf - You're right. It never gets old, just like how 95% of your posts are Star Citizen White Knight shenanigans, and you registered October 2015 specifically to defend SC against The Escapist on-slaught. Blues News is never going to be Star Citizen's third column. Don't come to this site to try and make it so.

well when there is 4 ads showing on the front page, 4 when you go to a thread, 4 when you post something and 4 when the post refreshes ... I'd say he loves the SC threads that go on and on .....

Blue can now add additional garage space to his palatial mansion so his collection of corvettes don't have to sit outside in the weather.
