A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018. Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

He knows exactly what he would need to build up star Citizen . As he sued and stole content or ideas from the freelancer modding community. I would know.

Posted October 12, 2016 Is anyone really surprised that Chris Roberts is no longer setting deadlines. With all the missed deadlines he was beginning to sound like a broken record. This is a much more ambitious title than any other and realistically is two games(Squadron 42 for SP, Persistent Universe). Did anyone really expect two AAA games within 4 years? The single player is still being worked on and is still being sold but no longer has a release date for obvious reasons.

Posted October 12, 2016 6 hours ago, AlwaysFSX said: Development started in 2012, don't act like this is normal development schedule. The game was waaaaaaaay over promised and waaaaay under delivered. This is something that'll take 50 years to finish. It was a load of horseshit from the beginning and it's a load of horseshit now. I was one of the original campaign backers-I put in 250 dollars for the Constellation package. Although my hype has gone down over the years, I still believe when the game comes out it'll be amazing. The game and its community have grown massively out of proportion since the time when I stayed up all night to follow along the 24 hour stream of the last day of the campaign. They've added a lot of features and extra content that came with the milestone goals in the months/years that followed it. And you gotta remember half-way through the project they basically had to overhaul their entire platform and move all the assets to a new engine to make it future-proof and easier to port(although who are we kidding console plebs will never play this). This game will be bigger than GTA V in scale which took something like 4-5 years and 250 million to make; it will also be the most graphically advanced game in history when it comes out. So yeah, it's gonna take some time to get it right. Are they reaching and being over-ambitious? Maybe. But I honestly believe in the next year or so they will deliver something great that we'll be able to play and have a lot of fun with. It won't be everything they promised when they promised, but I'd rather they took their time and did it right than try to push ridiculous timelines and cut on QA, story/lore, and design.

Posted October 12, 2016 When Star Citizen finally does launch, I'll be getting pretty sweet value from my $30 Kickstarter pledge: $45 (current price) starter ship 34,000 UEC ($34 value) 5,000 REC (no idea what they're for or value) Free Squadron 42 (or at least the first part of it) And all the in-game bonuses given out with each campaign milestone, like no hanger fees on starting planet, space suits, and whatever else. 19 minutes ago, Rune said: I expected late 2018 when I joined the original kickstarter, so no hard feelings. Get the game done right, and we'll enjoy it then. This is what I think. SC is a one chance sort of thing. Chris Roberts is a space sim pioneer and industry veteran who is trying to fulfill his lifelong fantasy of the ideal space sim with this game. And he has the reputation, the budget, and the detachment from typical business goals to do what he wants to do with it. Best to not interfere with the game, and let the team work until it's what CR wants it to be. Giving them the chance to make an impressive and innovative game in an industry of generic and simplistic projects is well worth my $30. It's not like we have the luxury of just waiting around for the next renowned industry pioneer and veteran to go all-in on their dream project, with all the cred and personal vision that's needed at their disposal to raise the funds and make it happen.

He could develop Star Citizen by himself in a week if he wanted to, and Cloud Imperium can't make it in 4 years? Ponzi scheme confirmed. But seriously though, I think Star Citizen will fail. It's like a hype machine that can not be stopped, and it is fueled by missed deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 12, 2016 I knew from the moment that they said no SQ 42 to be shown because it is not quite up the final polish they wanted, that this news would make the headlines and nothing else. While if you actually look at what is being shown and above all what they have achieved this last year it is staggering. From the changes to the engines, streamline production and crafting new tools they need to make the world. With all of that in place and working now, production can be ramped up big time and I think that we will see a lot more coming and faster as time goes on. Sure things have been delayed, but frankly considering the work they have done (including building up 4 teams in 4 offices) I am pretty darn impressed. Yes I will be biased of course, but when I see what is there and when I talk to the people who work there I cannot help but being positive.

Posted October 12, 2016 It is quite easy to get your money back, people. If you can get over the infatuation with your own voices, if you really want to GTFO you can GTFO whenever you want. For every game there will be thousands of people HOPING it fails, for whatever rotten-spine reason they might have for being such mewling little trash babies. Don't bother to make arguments against them where there is no reason to, until they learn to be objective and level headed. In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
