    Don't think too much transparency is the problem with star citizen

    Given that it's less a game and more of a money laundering operation

    Yes yes sure sure, it's a ponzi scheme or a scam or whatever, *insert complaint here*

    But I didn't say the transparency was THE problem with the game, or the cause of any particular issue I just said that apart from anything or everything else the Star Citizen development has done, it has given me good cause to believe that too much transparency can be bad for a game development and for its community. Those things aren't mutually exclusive.

    @Rorshach Kringle I am summoning you to a thread you'd probably normally check out because I have to tell you something

    On the Giant Bomb interview segment with Ed Boon, creator of Mortal Kombat

    Ed Boon refers to Michael Jai White as Michael Jaleel White

    I felt you needed this information

    this is the best thing to ever happen in video games

    Jeff knows when to sit back and just let things play out. He'd be unable to handle the Midway Boys otherwise.

    Speaking of which; did Johnny V ever find a new job in the industry?

    Sucks being anything east of the mountain time zone, cause we're only halfway through and it's already 11 for me. Even if I wanted to stay up and watch it'd be hard cause I'm tired.

    And I have to be up at 6 so it SUCKS

    Oh, I totally feel you. Many unproductive weeks have been had at work thanks to Games done Quick and Giant Bomb, and my inability to be responsible. I was surprised when I booked this vacation over E3. I'm just saying, I want to make this a regular thing.

Those things aren't mutually exclusive.

    If they were keeping development as a black box and were pushing out a busted-ass alpha build every couple years after eight years of development, this situation wouldn't look any better. Arguably it would look worse.

    The problem is that they're pushing out busted alpha builds after eight years, selling people new "ships" every month, and promising whatever comes to mind without any hint of a clear design scope.

    They basically don't even have a proof of concept yet.

    Got a PS4 and bloodborne today

    I am super bad at even basic movement in bloodborne so I might end up returning/exchanging that

    and possibly the PS4 as well but I'm gonna borrow some games from my boyfriend and give it a couple days for the sticker shock to wear off first before deciding

    its got a real nice controller though, goodness

    Do they broadcast that? Or is it a Giant Bomb premium thing? Because they keep advertising getting a trial for free.

    OOH! I thought you meant like an afterparty show after the 2 AM insanity.

    No, Afterparty was what I was referring to when I said that segment's games are on my radar now.
