EVE General Discussion

Star Citizen, the future flop mostly likely to kill Kickstarter.

95% of their funding was raised without Kickstarter so I think they can shrug off the blame for this one.

People continued to wheelbarrow their cash over the edge of the cliff long after all of the billboards and hucksters left the stage and the lights were turned off. They've no one to point a finger at but themselves.

Oh yes, the game you can pay a $10/$20 a month "subscription" for that you cannot actually play but you get some kind of "perk".

That's a sentiment people might want to consider announcing every now and then.

The squealers can quit, and good riddance. I'm sure every upcoming game needs it's share of hysterical flouncers. Those of us who chose to stay and bellyache deserve a bit more than being labelled 'bittervets'. Occasionally we make helpful remarks.

@ OP, it's a private company and they don't need to tell us what they spend their money on. Although the FinStats do paint a picture. We're stakeholders rather than shareholders, or to put it more plainly, customers rather than owners. CCP might have overextended themselves a few years back, but they are clearly amending that now. I'm quite impressed they funded EvE via a board game and built it into the success it is, rather than taking millions from a kickstarter in an overhyped venture. I hope SC falls flat on it's face and bounces down every step on the way after the attitude of some of it's promoters here.

I wish CCP put pretty graphs in their Financial reports, would look so much better. Because EVE loves pretty graphs, CCP should too.

There is a "combat module" which lets you fly your buggy half-finished ships in a single environment with Battlefield style "You're leaving the combat area" invisible walls during single player or in multiplayer you can watch other people's ships spin by you in an uncontrollable death spiral as you manically exchange wild shots that don't come anywhere near each other's targets, because you're likely performing a 720 no-scope on their screen every half a second also.

They decided they didn't know how to develop an MMO so they brought in another development team, Behaviour Interactive, who are well known for their shovelware, their shovelware, and their gratuitously shoveled shovelware that barely passes as functioning software, let alone games that can be played.

BI's claim to MMO fame is the project Warhammer 40000: Eternal Crusade. which was announced a whole year after Star Citizen's Kickstarter, and has yet to be released. But don't worry, pre-order now and you can play the "combat module!" All you have to do is purchase a founder's pack and pick which race(s) you want, because they have been neatly sectioned off into easily purchased divestments that you are welcome to acquire at your convenience.

Noticing a theme yet?

Oh, and I'd like to apologize to all of the Warhammer fans out there. I understand how hard it is to watch Games Workshop wh*re out the license to every Tongue, **** and Hairy that comes by waving a banker's cheque.

I'm just glad I paid the minimum for a copy of the game during the kickstarter and nothing more. It's been worth it just to watch the gestation of this monster, but I knew my money was wasted long ago.

Could someone please take a look at article 16.1, subject "Changes in share capital", focusing on the column "Total number of Shares*" with the footnote "*Each share is 1 ISK" and calmly explain to me what that means?...


Nnnngh....


*starts rocking back and forth in his seat*

Not sure about you OP but I'm from 2004, and well, I've seen a few changes to the game.

proff

40k will eb **** simply because, games workshop will DEMAND nerfs to every race but space mariens because "the few the proud, the space marines", then at the same time tell BI to turn a blind eye to the fact that 90% of the players were rolling space marines anyways long before everything else was nerfed.

any 40k game thats pvp that isnt a lobby shooter will be a joke simply because there will always be too many goddamn blueberry mary-sues griping that their chainsaw mark 2-billion can kill tree-hundwed and fifty other players solo.

No one to feel sorry for, all the rational 40k fans stopped looking at new games and additions long ago.

*EDIT* actually, looking at BI's history, I did thoroughly enjoy Mercenaries, was a fun little 3rd person shooter. funny, explosive, and a reason to actually replay it every now and then. I only wish BI had put Mercenaries on Steam so i could play it now that my xbox is dead.

Forget Star citizen play Firefly the Massively Multiplayer Online Space Cowboy Game. :D
