lNot being funny but have you seen the level of content they are putting out over there for half the money? I love EVE but lets be honest some of it is as old as the players who play it. AND IT'S BARREN! the universe as in the space it'self is SOOOOOO empty and devoid of anything happening.
Also we are stuck on a single core limitation still. Are you guys at CCP re-writing the base code to solve this? is that where the moneys gone? If so then fantastic. Or do iceland dev's just work half the time other game dev's do? Seriously.

Like is said not all serious. But besides the loyal blind defence of EVE that we all enjoy inflicting on nay sayers.
No one else thinks we are getting surprisingly little content for how much money ccp seems to make.

Simple question and reason for it.
EVE has a estimated market share of $93 million. (per year I am assuming)
Star CItizen is approaching $46million funding.

Once again. LOVE EVE but why is there so little of it for 10 years of development.? Maybe we should have a new region set up where you can only lock 1 ship at a time. call it the newbs and bitter vets region where you can go play solo and be happy and then you can say EVE has a friendly zone so new players take interest and then ccp can be like "hey its fun to come to eve why not take part in our stretch goals" Or something.

Yea part of this post is serious, rest not so much.

ok then. Well I think eve need more content. kinda bored of the boring old universe of stations, few moons with pos, gate's and wh's etc.

I WANT SOME ENVIRONMENTS THAT EFFECT THE WAY WE PLAY. .

let's face it;

the people 'making' star citizen are pulling off a scam any eve player would be jealous of.

So go out and create some.

W-Space. Or the new industry mechanisms. Or just the meta game. There's plenty of what you want already.

go do that for 10 years then come back to me!

let's face it;

the people 'making' star citizen are pulling off a scam any eve player would be jealous of.

ok I will come back in a year. but if i am still bored I demand some huge ass asteroid belts that we have fleet fights in and have to actually pilot around and maybe some nebulae that limit lock range that randomly float through systems.

...I demand...

So it's really mainly your fault for not going out and creating or just finding those things right now, as predicted.

err keep buying the crap sandbox line from ccp as much as you want.

BUT would that same scenario not be better in a Desert where there was a Theme park.

Or another better example paintballing. Lets go paintballing at a indoor warehouse thats empty. Has a door each end and a big circle in the middle of walls 6ft high. only One team is allowed in. (simiualtes station or pos) Then maybe 4 -7 tiny little walls around.

The sandbox is dull as **** if its just sand.

Tippia. I am soooo curious as what it is you are currently loving about eve's universe. how often you play. where you play.
But more so what was the last thing that really made you go FFS CCP it's been x number of years get it sorted.

let's face it;

the people 'making' star citizen are pulling off a scam any eve player would be jealous of.

Listen, at least CCP focuses on the important things. They stopped deleting boot.ini without specifying an appropriate path, that HAS to be worth something. How about the fact that I'm not posting this as a member of CCP, aren't you glad that they fixed the forums so that I can't? How about that time prefer safest actually routed through shortest and all those freighters died? They fixed that too. Don't hate CCP they're just busy fixing **** they broke in the first place.

What is awesome is when the sandbox gets extended with a paddling pool or a water slide or a climbing wall

if you whined less, you'd have more time to build those things.

You don't build those things in a sandbox. You hire outside professionals to build them. Well good ones any way.
Even DIY ones you don't build in the sandbox. You build them around the sandbox. Do you know nothing about children's playgrounds?

CCP where you spending your moneys?

CCP spent a lot of money on various successful ventures:

DUST and World of Darkness

Nowadays, development of Valkyrie and Legion are funded by EVE Online income.

Flibablob blib blob bleeb

I have actually taken the time to read up on SC.

So much shiny bling, so little actual playable content.

Give us yer dosh, and sometime in never never land, we will provide a game.

I think Erotica 1 is running the whole thing as a brilliant scam.

He has to do something to make money

I'm going to laugh when SC releases (if ever) and people realize they invested in a load of a crapware. The EvE community and its bond with CCP is something most developers can only dream of.

Star Citizen, the future flop mostly likely to kill Kickstarter.

Oh yes, the game you can pay a $10/$20 a month "subscription" for that you cannot actually play but you get some kind of "perk".

I consider myself to be a loyal fan of the company, the game and the staff who give so much of their time to interact with us, the players.

How is an example that has nothing in common with EVE GÇ£betterGÇ¥?

So pick up a spade and bucket. There are tons of them lying around.

Here you go:

CCP Games Consolidated Financial Statements for 2013

Have fun

Wait, am I missing out on another SC fanboi thread?

Edit: Looks like I'm not but I'm going to vomit all over the place anyways.

Because uhh... I kickstarted SC too, so I can confirm that the whole project is nothing but a shitebasket of incompetence and customer buggery.

I've never seen a game go from a reasonable proposal from an indy studio to full-on megaconglomerate Nazism is such a short period of time, and abuse their customers so blatantly and without shame for exorbitant amounts of money in exchange for digital items.

Not even online casinos try this crap.

If the video game industry were a playground and EA was the big bully, RSI was the quiet kid who buried the bully behind the groundskeepers shed without anyone noticing the violent dismemberment or spine-chilling screams, and then took over his turf with mafia-quality blackmail tactics, inflation and protection rackets.

And it's not the fact that they're doing it that really bothers me. It's seeing how many people willingly dole out more and more money for a non-existent game while trying to control their rampant and painful priapism brought on by the careful marketing and propaganda, which is easily fact-checked and proven false on a regular basis. Just the idea that people aren't screaming "WHOA WHOA JE*** HOLY **** MAN! SLOW DOWN AND PLEASE TAKE YOUR FINGERS OUT OF BOTH MY WALLET AND MY SPHINCTER!" at every turn is horrifying.

I really wish I was that smart. If I knew how, or had the willpower to strip myself of my humanity, to shear sheep like RSI I'd own a pacific island for every day of the week by now.

I've been hearing about this game but never looked into it... Wait you can't actually play the game? I thought it was some kind of playable beta.

Also and audit of where CCP spends it's money. I have doubt's strong doub't.!

https://www.ccpgames.com/media/47894/ccp_hf_financial_statements_december_31_2013.pdf

If you work in accounting or finance, you should have an easier time reading this. This is where CCP is spending their money. R&D increased a little over three fold in 2013 from 2012, and if you compare how much they are spending on development further back in 08-10 you'll notice they are really increasing their spending. That should suggest CCP is working on something big at a glance.

To argue, most of the spade's and buckets are being held ransom by Mittens and N3 while they yell at us that the game mechanics arent giving out enough spade's and buckets and that we should be mad at CCP for not putting more in. Instead of you know, letting everyone have some shovels and buckets to have fun. Because apparently you HAVE to hold half the game and kill off anyone who wants to grow large enough to someday challenge you, and apparently its not their fault if they do that, its CCP's.

now sure, we can go play in the other sandbox's, but when every other sandbox has a big sign planted in the center telling us the first sandbox is better and more fun, the whole thing becomes somewhat dull.

hough this entire post i suppose just argues one line you made without actually supporting the OP with anything relevant at all. Oh well.

Not sure about you OP but I'm from 2004, and well, I've seen a few changes to the game.

proff

There is a "combat module" which lets you fly your buggy half-finished ships in a single environment with Battlefield style "You're leaving the combat area" invisible walls during single player or in multiplayer you can watch other people's ships spin by you in an uncontrollable death spiral as you manically exchange wild shots that don't come anywhere near each other's targets, because you're likely performing a 720 no-scope on their screen every half a second also.

They decided they didn't know how to develop an MMO so they brought in another development team, Behaviour Interactive, who are well known for their shovelware, their shovelware, and their gratuitously shoveled shovelware that barely passes as functioning software, let alone games that can be played.

BI's claim to MMO fame is the project Warhammer 40000: Eternal Crusade. which was announced a whole year after Star Citizen's Kickstarter, and has yet to be released. But don't worry, pre-order now and you can play the "combat module!" All you have to do is purchase a founder's pack and pick which race(s) you want, because they have been neatly sectioned off into easily purchased divestments that you are welcome to acquire at your convenience.

Noticing a theme yet?

Oh, and I'd like to apologize to all of the Warhammer fans out there. I understand how hard it is to watch Games Workshop wh*re out the license to every Tongue, **** and Hairy that comes by waving a banker's cheque.

I'm just glad I paid the minimum for a copy of the game during the kickstarter and nothing more. It's been worth it just to watch the gestation of this monster, but I knew my money was wasted long ago.

Can't have a single thread in GD without the complimentary GRR GoonsGäó and Blue DonutGäó? How about adding BUFF HIGHSECGäó in your next post.

Oh yes, the game you can pay a $10/$20 a month "subscription" for that you cannot actually play but you get some kind of "perk".

I'm telling ya, SC and that "be a good space citizen" crap is not going to go down well. Much of the Western civilization is falling to lawlessness at high levels (gov, police, etc.) and everybody is starting to feel like being a goodie two shoes "good citizen" is to be a turbo chump now.

Hence this will reflect, because logging into a game that's all about being or becoming some good citizen is not going to go well. The genre is going to lean towards dystopia and people becoming outlaws to survive in lawless (or failed) states. A game with the theme like SC would have done well in the 1990s, but not now and not in the near future.

*EDIT* actually, looking at BI's history, I did thoroughly enjoy Mercenaries, was a fun little 3rd person shooter. funny, explosive, and a reason to actually replay it every now and then. I only wish BI had put Mercenaries on Steam so i could play it now that my xbox is dead.

I'm sorry, I thought the sarcasm would be obvious, post edited to reflect this.

Has SC put out any content? That's newGǪ

They got a potted plant in the CQ and a hot dog machine in your cockpit, suck on that EVE!

Check your medication please. I think you missed the green pill with blue stripes. It might have rolled under the couch.



If I'm not mistaken the only role they had in Mercenaries 2 was porting the game over to one of the platforms, and Pandemic handled everything else.

If you're thinking of the original Mercenaries on the original Xbox, that was 100% Pandemic.

Flashes 10 year vet status.

I love that i can do that...

You should go an dock up in your vet station and enjoy the spoils....

damn it.. don;t remind me that i cant =(

You should start a thread.

Right here in GD. It would be great.

ok then. Well I think eve need more content. kinda bored of the boring old universe of stations, few moons with pos, gate's and wh's etc. I WANT SOME ENVIRONMENTS THAT EFFECT THE WAY WE PLAY. .
