    Well I'm impressed.

    My thing was I loved Wing commander so I was a bit dissapointed it wasn't going to be that, seems they are giving players like me what we wanted and an online component.

    All the money is on the screen.

    Yah, Squadron 42 is basically a great big /hug for all us old WC fans.

    Good job on the presentation. Alpha 2 and SQ42 looking really good. Face tech, scale etc looking very impressive.
    Should hopefully put a halt to some of the more silly claims that have been going around recently.

    this was glorious.
    If this site would ban for excessive negative comments like they did on GW2 we actually had nice forums here, but biased un(moderated) forums who tolerate trolls for paycheks are boring so I´m off to reddit again. Bye.

    Trolls? Are you fucking kidding me? It's my opinion that I see this as a shitty game and a nice scam! They are close to 100$ mil and they are keep asking for more. If you call this presentation "glorious" for that money , then your standards are very low! 

    Off you go to reddit, again! 

    Bye!

    Over all I think the event was a success with the AC 2.0 demo and the rather impressive opening to Squad42.

    My disappointment with the delayed modules has not been diluted however.

    If I had to pick a side though at this point, it does appear that the game is genuinely in earnest development so at least the "SC is a scam Roberts is running with the money" accusation doesn't really hold water.

    Still. We need something PLAYABLE yesterday.

    Oh goody... we're time travelling.  It goes from like 46 down to 29 minutes.  Keep in mind... this was supposed to start at noon PST.... (17 minutes ago)
    Well i like to be fair,live presentations are not going to run 100% smooth as planned.Geesh i go to the Doctor's office 30 minutes early and still wait until 30 minutes late to get in,so not like being LATE doesn't happen everywhere.

    One side of me looks forward to these streams to get some nice information but the other half of me knwos what to expect.

    The side of me that terrifies of these conventions is the lol BS that goes on inside of them.Like they say something like "isn't this a great idea" and the crowd erupts with applause and cheers like there  is some television cue guy signalling them to cheer.In other words a lot of FAKE BS advertising.

    I like these informative streams to be 100% serious,no bs,just tell us what you got and don't try to get your crowd to cheer 90% of the time,it looks FAKE.


    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Yeah, MMORPG is a joke website when it comes to this. I've been warned several times for "negativity" for sparring with conspiracy theorists and pointing out the stupidity of irrational, illogical and dogmatic statements regarding this game.

    Meanwhile, trolls calling the game a "scam" and trashing it without even a hint of evidence are allowed to post freely with zero consequences.

    Also goes to show MMORPG's stance on this when their contributor blog posts are basically trolling the game as well. Again, without any evidence.

    Wouldn't surprise me one bit if the mods were also some of the trolls posting here rofl.

    I'm all for free speech. The mods should either stay away from the forum completely, or (if they are going to ban/warn people) apply their standard with a minimum of bias. Not the case at all here.

    Meanwhile real evidences over "we want to do this and that so please give us more cash" is what I and many expect to see. 

    I am against conspiracy theories , but a game which have .. earned 100 mil $ comes with some cinematics and a gameplay video ( i don't call that gameplay ) , after .. how many years? it deserves the name "scam" . Until real evidences , this , from my point of view is a scam. Not happy with my opinion ? Well , shut down internet maybe?

    You know, if someone said that about me, I wouldn't take it as a compliment.   Except for the bags of money to sleep on.

    However, there's nothing that doesn't get better by having Gary Oldman in it.....

    If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

    So the game is guilty until proven innocent?

    Where do you live? North Korea? Great logic right there dude.

    You can communicate your opinion all you want. I welcome it honestly. I'll just point out when its batshit crazy. Like when you say the game is a "scam" until proven otherwise.

    I see your point, yet at the same time you don't ever see most games mid development, especially those anywhere grand in scope. When you do it's usually just a small segment or mock up in engine. That's one matter that makes crowdfunded a lot different, people want to see progress every step of the way.

    This game could take 5-6-7 years to see it in a completely built state.

    I think having a debate about delays and the time-frame to complete would be valid for all parties. I think that the game has been and will be delayed significantly relative to it's original target.

    But instead of having a worthwhile debate among moderates, we have the conspiracy nuts claiming "scam", "racial abuse (rofl)", "pyramid" and more bullshit. Basically, just extremist nuts spouting nonsense without any evidence. It's too bad really. Would be nice to have a constructive conversation about expected time-frame etc.

    Finally one of these crowdfunding's calling it what it actually is, a pre-order... not the silly notion that's its a donation lol.

    Tho i keep getting closer and closer to PRE-ORDERing this the more they show and ease the doubt around this game.
  • TealaTeala Member RarePosts: 7,627
    Game is going to frakking rock - well both games - Squadron 42 and the PU.   When the game does launch I'm going to be sitting back playing and laughing at all the naysayers on these forums that said it wouldn't happen.  Sorry some of you have little patience, but I have a lot.  Game has actually only been in development for about 2 years...a game of this scope and magnitude can take 4 and 5 years - sometimes 7.  

    So keep slinging the crap and BS about this game being a scam - the rest of us that like what we're seeing will keep you in mind when we're pew-pew-pewing in one of the greatest PC games ever made.  :)

    Proof out of CR's own mouth, we aren't there yet and it needs a LOT of work!

    Proof none of it really looked like a game, looked like a movie in production!

    Proof no expense saved with actors they really didn't need!

    Proof the whole CC was nothing more than an advertisement to sell more ships. 

    Proof, you guys want something that isn't going to look at all like that on your computers unless it is all cut screens on video.

    You guys need to wake up and stop giving this guy money to burn! If you do that, believe me he will release some kind of game. I'm willing to bet any contracts he made with these actors also has  some kind of clause to be in a SC movie.

    Wake up?  Dude, you're as delusional as DS and you are sounding more and more like him...makes me think you are and this is just one of your other accounts.   As for me, I'll keep supporting CIG and Chris and oh yea...think I'm really going to have to buy that new ship...looks frakking amazing.  Can't wait to fly it in game.

    Wow Brenics. For once you are actually citing a source for your "evidence", albeit through your warped tunnel-vision glasses.

    1. Yes the game is not complete and needs a lot of work.  Even a moron could have known that. The only real evidence in your post, because Chris Roberts stated that the game has a long ways to go.

    2. "Proof" none of it looked like a game? I saw 20 minutes of gameplay footage and it definitely looked like a game being developed, to me. So it's not "proof none of it really looked like a game", it's just Brenics citing the gameplay footage and stating that Brenics didn't like it (rofl).

    3. I think you need to read the dictionary and understand what "proof" means (lmao). Basically just another conspiracy with no evidence.

    4. "Proof" that comes from our all-seeing visionary named Brenic who can see in to the future and read people's minds. I'm so happy you able to read my mind and tell me what I am expecting. Also, so glad you can read the future on your palm and tell us exactly what the finished game will look like based on an alpha demo that Roberts stated repeatedly "is not even close to done".

    I see the usual squad is out defending the game.   How are all those other games working out for ya?  Still play them?  

    Here's what we saw:

    If you're playing, you're going to get griefed.  You ships (with all your stuff) will be stolen the first moment you try to do anything (EVA, FPS, ANYTHING)

    They're spending more time and money on stuff no one ever asked for in the initial KS.

    More of the "soon".  NO date.  Even though their timeframe for release is actually RIGHT NOW.  

    There were people drinking.. but there was seriously someone in the audience with a LAMP.
