Someone probably would, it's a big world. I mean, people pay ridiculous amounts for super rare CSGO skins, I don't think it's that impossible that one of those rich as **** Dubai collectors would be interested in Elite: Dangerous ships.

There was a couple big updates from CIG, game looks like it's coming along...though I question the need for all that internal detail. Unfortunately the SA paywall is up again, anything interesting happening in there?

[Phantom Hoover]

my bet is 'lots of ****posts with cats in them'

[Luis Dias]

You're being generous there.

I know there isn't much to the game yet but you can buy this T-shirt!

[Mikes]

I know there isn't much to the game yet but you can buy this T-shirt!

Yeah ... so now stop with the excuses and tell us where the WoD T-Shirts are! :-)

[Spoon]

Truth of the matter is that all negotiations with mountain dew and doritos have failed, so I don't have the sponsors to start making amazing merchandise like tshirts.
y-yeah, that's it, that's the story.

Meanwhile durk smurt has made another tl;dr blog post http://www.dereksmart.org/2016/07/star-citizen-the-refund-debacle/

How long until the tshirt preorders are pushed back as the swell of support makes them long sleeve shirts, and then pants are added and finally people are saying the release date of the 3 piece suit was never set in stone and you're just being haters. It'll be the greatest tuxedo ever it just takes time.

That's an average man's yearly salary, what the ****?

[Klaustrophobia]

This is the reason the gaming industry didn't kill itself with the ever ****tier practices it's been adopting.  Because idiots like this exist.

Axem and I had the pleasure of trying this piece of **** together.
I don't even have words.



I do have words, all the words are bad words.
It runs at 20fps at best at low on 1600x900, frequently dipping into 10-13's
You can clip through everything
The interface is a hot loving mess
The headbob and motion blur made me feel sick within 10 minutes
Speaking of 10 minutes, thats the actual play time you get inbetween the 30 minute loading screens
The controls are terrible
Nothing works
The game crashed three times in the hour we tried
The game doesn't even come with a ****ing uninstaller




It's a bucket of anal dispensed diarrhea, it's the putrid smell of dying puss and roadkilled skunk, it's a vomit inducing barbeque disaster, it's chris robert's dying dream of being a succesful hollywood director, it's a load of smegma, it's big rigs racing combined with battlecruiser 3000AD, it's awful, its bad, its starcitizen.

And I don't like it.

BUY MORE JPEG'S!!!

THROW MORE MONEY AT CHRIS ROBERT SO THIS GAME CAN BECOME EVERYTHING YOU DREAM IT TO BE!!!

[Rodo]

Damn, everyone is so salty about this. If you don't like it why not just get your money back and walk away?

When there's nothing good to be said, that's the time to take a leave... I mean, pokemon go is out, right?

It's free play week

someone doesn't know how hard cloud imperium is trying to make it to get your money back lol

it's not like CIG are illegally refusing to give refunds or anything, after all

[Spoon]

Making fun of this hot disaster has given me more fun than the 24ish euro I pledged to this dream.

[Axem]

Part of the reason I wanted to try this out during free play week was to find out "just how bad could it be?"

And boy... if that's what they have to show for $117 million... wow.

I really just don't know what to say. It's been 4 years since they started, they're using a mature game engine. How could it go so wrong? You can clip through airlock doors (and a multitude of everything else) so easily, the lod pop in is crazy, objects very noticeably load from behind a door after the door swings open. How could this get past any game producer/programmer/play tester and not go "this is seriously wrong, we need to find a better way".

And this doesn't even get into the nauseating flight controls for space flight. Or how the FPS camera is locked to the head model. Or the surprisingly small interior of this huge station. Or or... Man, I don't even know. I'm so glad I resisted the urge the pledge. But even if I had, I wouldn't bother trying to get my money back.

Spoon: Stop being so mad, its worrying.

Grrrr
