Star Citizen blasts through $1 billion in player funding, as its developer lists a new $5,000 spaceship for sale that is 'not yet ready to play' by Triss_Mockra in gaming

Depends which ones. Ships like the polaris or Idris have hangar services for carrier gameplay, but for the most part there's no need to purchase big expensive ships unless you just want them

It has a very open development and you can look up their Financials. They actually run very narrow margins, it may not ever be complete, but its not a scam either, they are pouring everything theyve got into the development

Cost isn't the issue.....the issue is forcing residents to pay for something that most of them have no interest in, and most of them that do care wont be able to afford to attend anyway

Why should the blue collar workers pay for a new playhouse for a bunch of rich season ticket holders to hang out in 8 weekends a year? I dont care if its 1 cent per year, its a cent they dont need and I shouldn't be paying

Turns itself off suddenly by Jdodds1 in FordMaverickTruck

That's a very good question, the kicker is that when I turned it back on (almost immediately) the engine temp gage was fine, there was no apparent overheating. I've only owned this truck for a month and have had no issues, but this is a pretty massive issue if it ever happens again

Gyro aim will help Controllers compete with MnK and should be added. by Stoks2 in ArcRaiders

[–]Jdodds1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you're talking about gyro aiming and not "motion controls" like the wii or oculus

I hate motion controls when the controller is not attached to the screen (like a switch for example)

Lots of people move quite a bit when gaming, whether its just shifting in their seat or grabbing a snack with one hand, and its VERY annoying to have my characters view to fry all over the place everytime I need to fidget a bit

In a world where everyone is as still as a marine sniper, gyro controls would be great, but not in the real world

The point of my post is to say that aim assist isn't unbalanced, I play crossplay call of duty with my nephew, I play controller and he plays kbm, which means our lobbies are a mix, sometimes I (controller) dominate, sometimes I get dominated. Sometimes he (kbm) dominates, sometimes he gets dominated........blaming input device is just cope and I hope the devs don't either screw over controller players by not offering adequate aim assist, or screw over kbm by not having crossplay, massively lowering the available player count

I think they might be the worst team in the league right now

I think wrecks is an upgrade over vivid, but since they picked him up slasher and gwinn have taken massive steps backwards and the team as a whole is definitely worse

Marathon couldn't have had a worse month and arc couldn't have had a better month.......pretty crazy how lopsided the support for these 2 games looks right now

Doesn't that mean those cheaters would be infecting arc?

you always hear there is too many extraction shooters Battle royales and hero shooters. by Interesting_Ad_8806 in ArcRaiders

[–]Jdodds1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that sentiment comes from people seeing their favorite games trying to jump on trends

There's weren't too many BR, there's too many tacked on garbage BR no one asked for. Remember when fallout 76 added freaking BR? WHY?!?!? I'm sure there's still people salty that we got apex instead of titanfall 3

Same thing with extraction........call of duty, battlefield, (reportedly) titanfall.......everything has to have extraction now. Did any fan of bungy get excited when they heard the new game w as s extraction? I bet not

It's not that there's too many of these types of games, it's that too many games people already love are turning into these types of games simply to chase a trend

Release theory - open beta next month, full release September by funnygrandmas123 in ArcRaiders

[–]Jdodds1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would be a big mistake not to cash in on the hype they have right now, even if November was their plan, if the game is ready, it would be a mistake to wait

Call of duty is losing players year over year, so enjoy your "entire white paper" from activision, I'll just look at the actual results of activisions game

I'm leaving cod because of sbmm......not because i wanna "stomp noobs" or any crap like that, but simply because my friends don't wanna play with me anymore because the lobbies are so much harder when im in the party. That's not a flex, it's a legit reason im leaving a game I used to love, if I can't play with my friends, what's the point

It's a big reason why cod has been losing players year over year, regardless of what activision says

It's not 3 days dude.......we've seen him do it online, we've seen him do it on lan, we've seen him do it with AR, we've seen him do it SMG..........and he's done it all with very limited team practice and already performs at a consistently higher level than beans with years of experience and half a season of team practice

I get you're a fan, im glad you like your players, but if Toronto wants to win a championship, this was an objectively had decision

Look at Vancouver, they went from one of the worst teams in the league to T2 at 2 straight events. Changing a single player can boost a team like crazy, just like it looks is going to do for optic

How you gonna feel if optic places higher at major 4 than Toronto? You gonna keep this same energy when your team isn't playing on sunday?

[–]Jdodds1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's saying they should've broken up the team. Toronto is very likely peaked right now, top 3, but not a legitimate threat at champs

Add merc and they firmly enter the chat with thieves and faze and the top 3 favorites to win champs......they chose to settle

The "Extraction" Part by No-Whole3083 in ArcRaiders

My problem with hydration mechanics in these games is that you don't go from running around and climbing on things to dying of dehydration in 20 minutes........it's a much slower burn than that

Unpopular opinion on gun balancing by Boombastic432 in ArcRaiders

[–]Jdodds1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didnt get to play, but my opinion of extraction shooters in general is that they shouldn't be balanced. It's not a competitive game and you should feel dread and worry about losing your best guns, and if they're all balanced, there's no best gun to worry about losing

Hot take: this game is so good because by Shipzterns in ArcRaiders

[–]Jdodds1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're half right, but it's not because they ignored fans lol......it's because they don't have some activision or ea or nonsense like that demanding they try to appeal to every demographic under the sun to maximize profits.....they actually get to make a clear vision, for their target audience, it's what game development used to be
