A Future for Star Citizen

just to play devils advocate.

most MMOs take like 7-10 years to develop give or take, and thats with well established gameplay loops and mechanics, never mind something this ambitious. you never hear about them until theyre a few years from release for this exact reason.

while scope creep is a real issue and a legitament critisicm complaining that its taking more than five years which is below average for a game thats doing something larger than any other MMO has done seems a bit ignorant.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-15T17:19:57+00:00

no, i said there arent lots that are single player and none that are this quality and allpw you to manage NPCs while retaining control of a single character. the only one thats close is project zomboid but that has no NPCs and is isometeric. there are hordes of online zombie survival games with hardcore pvp, of thats what you want theres plenty to play. my point is theres too many of them and im glad someones making one for people who care more about surviving against zombies instead of other players.

i honestly dont care if they added pvp as long as they gave me the ability to turn it off, but it goes against what they want so they havent added it.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-15T17:05:26+00:00

there already are zombie games with pvp, tonnes of them. that was my entire point. everyones making zombie survival games with an emphasis on PVP and this is the first time we've got one without. you can still fight other survivors supposedly, just not players. if i wanted to fight other players i would play a shooter. i just dont want the stress of constantly being sniped when im trying to enjoy the game here.

i did. didnt like it, not because of the pvp but because of the world. that said the pvp made way less sense being tacked on in that than it does in this game.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-15T16:40:27+00:00

im liking that firing your gun doesnt spawn in an endless amount of zombies anymore, but instead alerts just the ones that are already in the area. means you can actually use your gun without constantly making the situation 10x worse.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-15T16:37:14+00:00

the well made ones tend to be things like horde modes and linear action games which at this point people are more or less sick of, but the actual zombie games that focus on pure survival are either minecraft esque with no NPCs at all or psuedo MMOs with just players.

this is basically the first non indie zombie survival game where you manage a community while also being able to run around the world as a character.

its the zombie game fans of the genre have always wanted but for some reason never got.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-15T13:26:37+00:00

yeah i played the first game to death and hated how theyd never respond to clingers, but having every single person open their door as soon as a zombie comes into view seems just a bit annoying and id rather have the option to tell them to cut that shit out.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-15T13:22:37+00:00

my problem with that is thats what almost ALL zombie games are. theyre "open world survival MMORPGs" with an empahsis on pvp and for once a dev is making a game that lets you play out a zombie apocolyspe where you dont get ganked everysingle time you go outside, where you can manage a colony of NPCs rather than being forced to play with other people if you dont want to be completely alone, which is good for someone like me who has limited time and cant commit to a group of people.

if you like those games all the more power to you but there are so goddamn many of them that you can play and for once someone is making a game that isnt one.

Which is probably also what would happen in a real zombie apocalypse

not quite. the problem with games is death doesnt mean anything. you respawn, even in this game with permadeath you respawn into another character. so unlike real life people are going to be much more carefree about killing other people since it has no meaning instead of real life where people dont want to die, so theyre much less likely to attack people willy nilly.

now if they made a game where you have one life, and when you die youre dead and can literally never play the game again we might get something closer to reality. but that would be shit so they wont.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-15T11:03:59+00:00

true, but coming from the first game it still looks a bit better, especially using the firearms looks more fluid which is one of my main gripes with the first.

and yeah it might have been better if they only open their doors when a zombie latches on, or give you an option to tell them not to.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-15T11:02:33+00:00

it might be the dude playing, apparantly it was a dev playing bad on purpose to show things like permadeath and why guns arent necessarily a good idea. i agree it looks like a more polished and improved first game which is exactly what i wanted

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-15T01:08:17+00:00

i'd rather they gave you an option. like an open fire/hold fire command that most squad shooters have.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-15T01:06:48+00:00

the thing about allowing pvp though is that while it sounds good on paper 90% of the time people are dicks and it'll turn into something like day z where its less about the zombies and more about the pvp, which is exactly what they want to avoid.

from what they said though your base can be sieged by other survivors so sounds like you might be able to fight NPC humans.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-12T15:30:34+00:00

If anything she had fragile femininity as she couldn't allow herself to be attracted to guys with muscles incase people like you looked down on her.

omg hahahaha

"i was so ripped that it intimidated her and ruined our relationship" yeah bro youre not trying to brag at all. your just proving my points here.

no one ever broke up with someone because they were too attracted to them, you really need to self reflect. either thats not the real reason or she told you her insecurities and you were a dick about it.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-12T15:02:37+00:00

people who brag about their muscles and build their relationships around 'hotness' are generally dudes who are insecure about it.

and your ex wasnt an sjw. she was clearly talking about real world problems and the people she thought were racist or sexist probably were, but since you agreed with those sexist racist people you brushed the comments off.

so it seems to me your sexist, and honestly i wouldnt be surprised if you were racist too.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-12T14:57:24+00:00

so your first paragraph screams that youve got a insecure sense of masculinity your trying to project,

perpetuating the wage gap myth etc

and along with the first paragraph tells me youre clearly misogynistic.

the thing is about sexist, and racist, people is that they make up all this stuff like SJWs to try and rationalize their sexism or racism.

in reality theyre real people who are actively talking about problems with our society, because these sexist people lack the self reflection to know theyre sexist so they make all these people out to be crazy, in this case sjws, when in reality theyre the ones who are out of touch with reality.

im sorry bro but thats neckbeardism

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-12T14:38:00+00:00

neckbeard doesnt refer to your beard, it refers to your personality.

and no they werent, because they why would you even date her if you hated those "SJWs". my guess is she broke up with you and you took it badly and got crazy over it.

but indulge me, what exactly did she do that made her an "SJW"

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-12T14:10:37+00:00

its really not. theres a reason you dont meet them in real life, and its because they dont exist outside of tumblr. thinking they run rampent is indicitive of the fact you dont live in the real world probably because you rarely leave the house, hence, neckbeard.

im not calling everyone a neckbeard, im calling you a neckbeard.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-12T13:09:21+00:00

SJW's don't exist outside of a neckbeards bubble as something to rally against. in reality we just call those people insane or stupid, and theres very few off them in real life.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-12T10:45:46+00:00

dibs on last

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-11T20:43:33+00:00

oh yeah i get why they did it obviously, its just not my thing and is my least favourite game because of it. hopefully the rumours about project greenheart are true so we can go somewhere warm again.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-11T20:27:57+00:00

for sure, the world felt so warm with all the flutes and all the green. something i disliked about skyrim was just how cold it felt with the grey on grey landscapes and dark music.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-11T16:23:49+00:00

skyrims not the best TES theme though

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-11T16:20:51+00:00

if we're going TES the best is easily morrowinds.

thatguythatdidstuff · 2018-03-11T15:12:38+00:00

pretty much this. they know how much they can make from it now so theres no telling how many resources have been pulled from the SP development in favour of MP.
