I take Fred's word for it because at core he just a really passionate Duke fan like usĪnd that's exactly why I don't take Fred's word for it (and also because based on their past work I don't think highly of 3Danish Realms overall when it comes to judging a game's quality but that's my opinion).Īnyway I just wanted to say something about how people should hold their horses because I know the Duke community: we're desperate, we get excited for everything. "extremely buggy and un-playable and whatever.sucks ass".įred has said that it is playable and fun. So I don't think you're correct in here that it is what you implied ie. And once again, Wieder has said how much progress the game had gotten already in 2003 before the switch. And that's why he also ready to assemble a team and get the 01 version + mod tools out the door all for free, because of what it means to fans. I take Fred's word for it because at core he just a really passionate Duke fan like us, except he has the builds. ![]() You said it sucks ass.įred has said that it is playable and fun. ![]() Unfinished games suck because they are unfinished, that's a fact and that has nothing to do with how the game would have turned out in a parallel dimension where it was actually finished. As someone in this thread has already said that last 10% is what makes or breaks a great game. What is it that you don't understand? How could I argue about the quality of a game that does not even exist as a finished product? I'm sure that DNF 2001 would have had a chance to be among the greats if it was actually finished but even stuff like Half-Life would suck ass if Valve skipped the polishing stages and released it at the point where it was only 90% ready. Right in the next sentence I explained what I meant without irony: Read the post again and especially in context. For example there's Clive Barker's Undying from 2001, one of the best FPS titles from the early 2000s and it looked great when it came out. UE1 was not top of the line at that time but good artists could still produce amazing looking games with it. were idiots for abandoning this version of the game too so on that one we agree. yet it took them 2 years to settle everything and release a game that they could consider finished.Īnyway I think George and co. ![]() Again if you look at DNF 2011 according to Pitchford that game was around 90% complete too when 3DR shut down. Why am I speculating? Because I'm assuming that a version of the game that was never finished and prepared for release is unfinished and not ready for release? I think you don't understand what I said: I'm not arguing about the game's quality (I don't know about that and frankly after this much bs with DNF I don't even care anymore), I'm arguing about the fact that it is unfinished. With respect, I'd say that it is you that is speculating.
