How do you feel about Duke Nukem coming out before Half Life 2 Episode 3

[Dogstile]

Now that you've pointed it out, i'm rather amused.

I mean, valve fanboys are hilarious as it is. This makes it funnier.

Because a game that's been in production a lot longer is coming out before a game that's not been in production for as long (if at all for that matter)?

It takes a strange man to find hilarity in logic.

You misunderstand.

Valve fanboys when hearing of things like this tend to foam out the mouth. Well the bad ones anyways. I find the same hilarity with other fanboys

Most fanboys start foaming at the drop of a hat...

Maybe I don't see what all of you do, but I don't see any relation whatsoever and have no feelings on the matter.

That being said, haven't people been waiting much longer for Duke Nukem Forever than they have been for Episode 3?

For those who don't 'get it'. I believe the joke is that most people thought DNF would be released when hell froze over. And before DNF was announced i'm sure many people made jokes about episode 3 taking longer then DNF. The fact that Nukem actually has a release date now and there's no info on Episode 3 is like the punchline to a long joke.

Episode 3? If it's not Half Life 3, I'll kill Gabe Newell.

Yeah, I second that. At this stage a full sequel on a new engine would be the only way it won't be a huge let-down.

DOESN'T NEED A NEW ENGINE.

Agreed on both counts.

The first point is just pure logic so nothing else needs to be said, the second point I have something to say about it.

Not everything needs newer, epicer graphics. By keeping graphics "low" they save money, appeal to a larger audience(since older PC's can run it, that means more people will buy it), and it will allow them to simply do much more gameplay-wise.

I'd rather them stick with an engine they know and that works across large amounts of rigs, rather then limit themselves with a new engine.

Don't care in the slightest.

I never cared about the Half Life series.

 

[SalamanderJoe]

I find it very ironic. Oh Valve...when will you actually make it? No honestly tell us...

Well, nobody really believed that DNF would be released some day a year ago. A year ago, people still believed that Ep 3 might be coming out next year. So it is kind of amusing, even though DNF has been in development for longer.

 

[TheScottishFella]

You know we complain about this so much but let's be honest whatever there doing that is taking this long is going to be a fucking awesome game they haven't disappointed us yet.

Well this is a big hat.

Both are the gaming equivalents of Guns N Roses's Chinese Democracy.

 

[RejjeN]

Ah yes, "Episode 3". The alleged conclusion to the episodic expansions to the Half-Life 2 Story.
We have dismissed that claim.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I think it's fantastic. I can't wait for the release date.

"Congratulations, Valve. In less the time it took you to create another dull, mediocre expansion pack to your original dull, mediocre game, motherfucking Duke Nukem Forever was released."

 

[Nmil-ek]

Meh Valve fans have it easy 4-5 years ohhhh, Blizz fans waited 10-11 years for another starcraft and we are still waiting for diablo IIIs release date.

 

[I_am_acting]

AHEM!

^kind of odd if you ask me


anyway, i don't care, DNF is FINALLY coming out after about 12 years, HL2 episode 3 has only been teased for 3 years, get over it please

 

[The Long Road]

The release date of DNF was always that point in the future that was indefinitely X years away, like how fusion power has been 50 years away for 50 years. Saying something will happen afterwards is like making lunch plans for right after the apocalypse. The irony is not in the length of development, but rather that another game seems to be taking up the throne as King of Vaporware even before Duke Nukem has truly relinquished it.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Well Duke was announced first. It only makes sense to get it first.
