DNF had a 14 year dev cycle and this has already been exceeded by Beyond Good and Evil 2 at 22 years. So no, Star Citizen S42 isn't going to win that award.

I love how your post history really shows how you're not coping, like at all. Are you doing OK?

*discord. Discourse while sounding bad is just another word for discussion or debate.

You don't understand people protesting a tone-deaf experience?

Are you being purposely obtuse or are you legitimately not understanding?

What statement? What you read was not a statement but hearsay in the form of a vaguely retold exchange.

Fuck Elon and Tesla but this isn't much to go on.

No I am not disputing the use of intelligent agents in Massive. In this discussion I'm the person who namedropped the tool. What I'm disputing is the interpretation of what WETA did to produce the large scale combat. People have misinterpreted that some mid range scenes used judiciously copy pasted actors and props to mean that's all they used when clearly Massive was used with entirely digital 3D modeled and hand textured actors and props for longer distance shots when they needed to work at scale.

Massive, like its predecessor "a flock of birds" is a very very useful particle control and generation system and it was definitely in use here with hand modelled and textured characters and props.

No, I understand. You don't understand how any of the technology works so when you listened to the commentaries you misunderstood.

Here's one example of Weta showing off Massive used for one of many shots at Helm's Deep.
