Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
At this point? It's been a buggy tech demo since 2014. At least back then the Arena Commander was playable albeit janky as ****. From what I've seen of it since - the flying and fighting are worse now than what I personally experienced for myself, it's like they've somehow gone backwards.

I really hope that SC gets the documentary treatment it so desperately deserves, the post-release insights are going to be fascinating. Until then I'll wait with eager anticipation for the next episode of Sunk Cost Galaxy.

Looks to me like BMWs start at $35,000, boss.

No wait, he's right, I'm way more relieved to know it's not worth a full BMW, just barely a third or something. I mean, that's the correct take here to have, right.

Well ask yourself this: would you rather have 60% of a luxury car, or 100% of a starship jpg?
I thought so.

For that money you can buy a Porsche; although probably only a used one but still.

It's like having... or not having.

I mean, a Reliant Robin is 60% of a car, and it will get you where you're going....most of the time.  Just don't turn in too hard.

What were we talking about again?  I have actually lost the plot.

Everyone knows that the BMW M3 E30 is the only BMW you need though.

I heard once of people who bought pictures of a photoshopped diamond as background on iTunes for 800$ or so. It's been only a handful IIRC (assuming the story is true :nervous:  ), but still.

If you can't imagine this, you might simply have the wrong job. ;)

There have been apps that cost a lot of money and don't do anything except prove that you paid that money, presumably just so you can rub other people's faces in it.

OK I think Mr Dekker will soon have a new job. :D

Or I better seize the idea for myself...

There isn't nuance in the issue itself, that guy's way of telling things is not exactly polite (and downright despicable to me) but when he says that the thing goes super slow even with a computer that has a 1080, an overpowered CPU and a lot of ram he has a point. Hell, the game doesn't even look particularly pretty, it is more or less at the same level of Elite: Dangerous but the alpah build of that game had acceptable FPS even on my old Radeon HD 7770 with 1gb of VRAM, if a game plays slow on a fricking 1080 all us common mortals have no chance of playing it, pure and simple.

A true connoisseur.

I laughed a bit at the Youtube guy's rant. As I've been known to do a bit (okay, a LOT) of barely focused but hilarious ranting myself...that is the rant of a believer who has been broken over the knee of disappointment.

I've been feeling the same way about DCS myself lately, but that's for another topic. Which I'll probably forget to post in.  :confused:

As long as SC is not released it is still better than any published content.  A bird in the hand is paltry compared to two in the JPEG.  Plus  I didn't see actual physical space legs.

Am I doing it right?

Star Citizen is the ultimate gacha game but since it doesn't have waifus it's doomed to fail at this point.

waifus
Inb4 that's the next type of JPEG. Space waifus advertised to be put on your ship and help you with all that mundane real life crap they've put into the game they want to put into the game.

You aren't thinking big enough, sure they can start to sell JPEGs of space waifus, but the real money will be in JPEGs of JPEGs of space waifus.
