And literally trying to look as goofy as possible via customization

2019-07-15 14:17:06 UTC  

Not a problem

2019-07-15 14:17:07 UTC  

Next

2019-07-15 14:21:05 UTC  

At this point it's just a waste of time. I'll definitely buy the game when the game is either out Or Actually good. Like NO Man Sky which start out as a Shitstorm and now is actually playable When that days come for Star Citizen (Or When it's was Actually out.) I'll be playing the game but for now The game is not in the state that I was willing to put any of my money into the game.

2019-07-15 14:22:30 UTC  

And most of the game Content which I can actually praise which is Ship Design. Is lock behind Paywall. In a game which still in Alpha State.

2019-07-15 14:41:14 UTC  

It's not locked actually

2019-07-15 14:41:22 UTC  

You can buy every ship in-game eventually

2019-07-15 14:41:44 UTC  

But the rest seems more understandable

2019-07-15 22:39:22 UTC  

>star marine

2019-07-15 22:39:33 UTC  

Games Workshop sweating profusely, aren't they?

2019-07-15 23:14:11 UTC  

lol

2019-07-15 23:14:31 UTC  

If they didnt sue the ass out of StarCraft, which was a total copy-paste

2019-07-15 23:14:41 UTC  

They certainly aint gonna do it for Star Citizen

2019-07-15 23:27:45 UTC  

StarCraft ain't even remotely a copypasta

2019-07-15 23:29:15 UTC  

The zerg and 'nid similarities came because each informed the other's design
And Terran Marines are mostly convicts, not genetically engineered supersoldiers.

2019-07-15 23:32:09 UTC  

Protoss/Eldar have a ton of similarities, will say, but are also drastically different as well

2019-07-15 23:32:45 UTC  

For one the Protoss aren't space elves that fucked a chaos god into existence, forcing them to all become pseudo-liches.

2019-07-15 23:33:06 UTC  

I mean star citizen looks freaking awesome but they need to move along my brother got into it way back but there's nothing much to do they added planets with a bunch of bugs it'll be great in time just not to buy right now even though I want some of the ships just not yeah that price!

2019-07-15 23:36:26 UTC  

no

2019-07-15 23:36:29 UTC  

total copy-paste

2019-07-15 23:36:36 UTC  

any1 who was there at the time knew it

2019-07-15 23:36:55 UTC  

protoss are the only ones with slight originality

2019-07-15 23:37:13 UTC  

Warcraft was also a copy-paste

2019-07-15 23:43:48 UTC  

So many drastic differences though. Like, I can definitely accept that there was a lot of inspiration from one to the other, but they seriously weren't even close to the same

2019-07-15 23:44:09 UTC  

And this is just with lore from 1 and Brood War, not even touching the new stuff

2019-07-15 23:46:33 UTC  

You might be able to argue that Starcraft progresses similar to how 40K might have if the Warp and Big E both didn't exist at all, but that's about it.

2019-07-16 00:05:34 UTC  

dude

2019-07-16 00:05:37 UTC  

you know

2019-07-16 00:05:38 UTC  

space marines

2019-07-16 00:05:39 UTC  

didnt exist

2019-07-16 00:05:43 UTC  

till GW made em

2019-07-16 00:06:00 UTC  

and the design for the space marines is incredibly similar

2019-07-16 00:06:09 UTC  

the zerg are basically copy-paste

2019-07-16 00:06:22 UTC  

and protoss are the only one that can reasonably said to just be inspired and not copied

2019-07-16 00:07:27 UTC  

I dont consider StarCraft 2 because that does take a somewhat new direction

2019-07-16 00:07:33 UTC  

we're talking about the origins anyways

2019-07-16 00:07:51 UTC  

also because HotS and LotV kind of butcher the lore

2019-07-16 00:09:22 UTC  

Zerg are not copies of tyranids.
Protoss are not copies of eldar.

There are aesthetic similarities, sure.
And similarities in abilities, Zerg/tyranid hive mind, Protoss/Eldar psychic abilities. Sure.

But that’s about it. “Inspired by” sure. “Copies of”. Not at all.

And “GW Marines are SC marines” no. Other than the name and a general appraisal of “Oh sure, they’re both buff guys in armor”. No. They’re completely different. In origin, ideology, ability. Hell, even in a simple cost/power comparison, they are *complete opposites*.

2019-07-16 00:10:40 UTC  

Just about any person can don a suit of Terran power armor. Space Marines need so much more, implants and biological changes, to use their suits.

2019-07-16 00:11:18 UTC  

@Goodwood of Dank™ Exactly.

It’s obvious that the blizzard guys responsible for SC lore played some 40k, there’s inspiration there, but to imply that they simply copy pasted one universe to another and changed the names is absolutely wrong.

2019-07-16 00:11:25 UTC  

they are both aesthetically and mechanically copies of tyranids
