lol

You just gave me an amazing idea

Let's make a kickstarter to buy the assets of Star Citizen when it fails and cut all the shit out and just make Freelancer 2 like they originally promised.

That sounds like a game I'd play!

Lol am I hearing this right? They developed their own fucking webcam for tracking facial movement to paste on in-game characters? I mean, it's a cool fucking concept and all, but god damn does it add even more retarded amounts of depth to this game. Shut this shit down.

I'm pretty well convinced that this whole project is now a Skunkworks project for Amazon's Lumberyard and has nothing to do with producing an actual game.

Yea, their primary goal is not to make a game anymore, just experimental systems for other companies to use to make actual video games.

The hits keep coming...

This week in MMO crowdfunding, Star Citizen’s Around the Verse focused on the game’s stamina system, which touches on the character’s needs and risks and notifications about them, including “getting drunk, needing to go to the toilet, all the little things that can affect the player temporarily, and then we can expand this to go even to stuff like long-term diseases, depressurization sickness, radiation sickness – all these things that won’t be something the player can get rid of instantly.”

What a joke of a game.

I'm asking out of general sincerity now: That has to be a joke or something, right? They can't seriously be someone high up in the company making this that said: "This space sim needs to make you take shitter breaks cuz realism bro!"

Really?

They're saying whatever they can that they can fall back on as "pushing the release back" cause we gotta finish this and that. It's like a Ponzi scheme and the guy saying all he needs to do is move the money from X to Y and it will take two weeks to do so be patient, while he is loading cash in his car and getting the fuck out of town.

Be whale
Bought all the ships, 30 grand in
Finally SC releases in 2031
Log in for first time with tears
Newbie station full of a lot of homeless people...
Kinda worried, just trying to find the landing bay to claim capital ship
Get mugged, stabbed from behind
Turns out was a needle and now have deadly untreatable disease
Character spends 14 years in game hospital before passing
Luckily SC implemented funerals, one CC payment and the experience is complete

Sounds great!

Now they better implement this shit properly so like if you shit after you shower you're going not be able to sit down without getting a -2 to your station stats.

Neckbeard nerds get a +10 to Galactic space lore for not shaving and one free snack per space day but - 50 to CHA causing them to have higher fees for everything that involves human interaction... (+5 with certain aliens though).

I also fully expect there to be mandatory workout times per day otherwise you gain weight and start to receive all the appropriate penalties. So you better be running on that treadmill and lifting those weights for an hour a day!

Log in after a two week vacation somewhere, die immediately from not taking an in-game shit for weeks.

This is like they took every single fucking horrible suggestion from MMO alpha and beta boards from the last 20 years and thought they were all good ideas cause immersion. I feel like trolling the fuck out of the official boards now. Hey guys, can we make sure players have to aim where they pee or be fined for being unsanitary at space stations. Also will Star Citizen have bathrooms for transgender pilots?

Yeah, I mean I thought Team McQuaid was insane for some of the shit they are trying to implement for a MMO these days, but these guys take the cake.

Ask them if there's thing you be a VR attachment for the bathroom so if you go to the bathroom IRL it will automatically mimic the actions in game.

Like the face cam for your dick.

if they announce a sex module to their game, the way they do things there will be erectile dysfunction issue. I'm already planning my Viagra trade empire, I'll be rich. :)
