What exists right now is full of jank, but if you played it or even followed the patch to patch development you could see they’re consistently building foundations for a game that is simultaneously:

  • FPS
  • MMO
  • Fully physicalized
  • Physics based
  • Open world
  • High fidelity
  • Fully persistent

Considering how no game like what SC is supposed to be has come out in the time SC has been in development, it must not be that easy of a game to make.

I got into SC in December of last year and have seen their progress and have been to play and participate in all of it while only spending 45 USD on the base package. Nothing else is needed to join since all ships eventually come out in game as buyable for in game money and I bought nearly every ship like that.

CIG certainly sells ships to whales, but to them it’s necessary for their commitment to no publishers or large investors.

It’s been 12 years and no game like what it’s supposed to be has come out so I guess it’s not that easy of a game to make

If the client doesn’t support the codec or resolution of the media then it’ll need transcoding

That sour electric aroma you can smell is the collective anxiety-stench of games journalists trying to decide whether it’s worth sitting through the full investor presentation in the hopes of discovering some proper context for these pitiful morsels - perhaps even a unique angle which none of those other hacks have discovered, the feckless layabouts.

So he’s taking his frustrations out on the reader by padding his article with sympathy-bait? I’ve come to really dislike Rock Paper Shotgun articles lately

I’d like to remember Evolve more fondly than I do, but I just didn’t have as much fun with it as I hoped. My strongest memories are of feeling annoyed at a constantly recharging jetpack

That person that is kind of lacking in social skills, still weirdly opinionated about really specific things, doesn’t care enough about their appearance for how old they are, and several other holdovers from being a nerdy high school shut in, but is very slowly becoming better. They’re trying to understand how to have more flexible conversations with people, figuring out a clothing style that works for them, and just doing some general growing up. They’re still kind of hard to be around, but you can tell they’ve made progress and that’s all you can really ask of them.

I think maybe you have too strong of a focus on plot. It’s there to give structure to the breakdown of a family that is passing down mental, emotional, and supernatural problems like they’re hereditary. It’s a showcase of how a family raised to be tools can devolve when they’re finally being used.

!Personally my favourite part is the massive tone shift at the very end when Peter is finally possessed and receives his revelation. It’s a beautifully crafted scene that balances being celebratory and morbid. A fantastically unique payoff to an entire movie’s worth of buildup.!<

Default is probably select all because most people interact with the address to either copy the address or clear it to enter a new address. I empathize though

Hopefully it’ll come out on steam next year or something as a single complete edition, just like Control.
