At this point I'm convinced that Rockstar is utterly incapable of making competent controls. GTA V brought the word "fiddly" to a whole new level and although I haven't played RDR2 myself, from the videos I've seen that title is somehow even worse.
I mined four or five bitcoins back in the day. But I forgot the password.
Fucking jannies, man. They should all be lined up and shot in the back of the head.
I actually had quite a lot of fun in their old servers doing the satellite capture missions. It usually worked without bugs and going from station to satellite in my ship, ejecting and doing a spacewalk, orienting myself and going up through the satellite to reprogram it and then make my escape was really fun and harrowing. Sometimes you'd get caught and raped, sometimes nothing would happen at all. It was fucking great.
The issue is the fade to black isn't being done for practicality it's done for lazyness. I don't see the issue with a quick second or more animation of getting into a spaceship in a game that is supposed to be really immersive. That's before we get into Odyssey just not having ship interiors at all. Which is a huge dealbreaker. These aren't quick and arcadey games. They're space sims. People want to take their time and get immersed.
I like the longer animations when they're being done for things where it adds to the game. Jumping into a ship is definitely one of those things. Especially in tense situations you should think back to any movie you've ever seen. The bad guy is coming for the hero and the hero jumps into a car and has to start it. But there's always that lag time of getting the key, putting the key in, shifting into gear and driving off. There's an inherent moment of vulnerability where the hero is literally just sitting there exposed. And that's if everything goes according to plan.
Early days. Just close your eyes and dream. Dream of taking a trip on a starliner that doesn't start jittering wildly during takeoff and explode. Dream of drinking a Hairy Roberts cocktail produced by a real crewman, one of those dirty box-price peons who can't afford to spend thousand dollars on a jpeg. Dream of not being yoinked out of your seat mid-flight and clipping through the ship into the cold void. Dream of the glorious future of PC gaming.
Yeah, it hit $5 million in late 2012. $2 million of that was from Kickstarter. Their campaign said it would be 22 months from alpha to beta. It's been 9 years.
Will Scam Citizen release before the game is old enough to vote?
It'll be old enough to own a pistol, which most backers will buy and end themselves with when it fails to release or releases and is a trashfire.
If only they waited another 15-20 years after release, the game would finally be good and everything promised! Just like No Man's Sky!
They did the kickstarter and promised the game was nearly done and it would be out in 2 years. That was 9 years ago. In 2015 after missing their deadline by 1 year they promised the game was nearly done and it would be out that year. That was 6 years ago.
You don't know gamers at all.
