Well, out of the game gods they got Gabe Newell, Cliffy B and Will Wright right. I think they were all in that article. What ever happened to John Carmak?

its a solid game, that took too long...but the intention was there..
brilliant paintings have flaws in composition...it is only human.
the romero is only human.

There's no point in arguing with you because you seem to disregard what everyone else is saying as merely reacting to the hype rather than to the game despite the fact that people HAVE played it and still say it blows.

I hated this game when I hit a bug and was told by tech support that I had to install a patch. Turned out the patch was no longer compatible with my saves, and I needed to start over.

I'm slamming it from playing about halfway thru and realizing chasing my cat with a stick was far more entertaining. I didn't try the multi because I was busy playing quake2 multi.

What are you talking about? Everyone knows that chasing a cat with a stick is ALWAYS entertaining, even when your soul is numb from a round of Daikatana.

It's the only game I know of where the initial patch was larger than the game install.

Wasn't the download like 600mb? 600mb on a freakin 56k modem! WTF!

When I played that game, I felt like I was on acid, and wearing fisheye lens glasses.

Stupid dragon flies...

Someone post killcreek's playboy pics so this thread has some redeeming value.

I played the game (as long as I could bear) and it sucked. Really. Really. Bad. I didn't play multiplayer, I didn't buy it to play multiplayer, even if it was the greatest multiplayer to ever exist and people were still playing it to this day it wouldn't balance out the single player.

I don't remember Q3 or UT being billed as the new great single player game. wich daikatana was. in fact weren't we sopposed to be his bitch? hmm

face it. IT SUCKED.

there is a reason it is constatntly ranked as one of the worst games of all time. because it SUCKED.

the single player wasnt great.
the multi was VERY good.
see for yourself.
objectively compare dm'ing in that game to it's contemporaries.
its at least as fun.
