It's worth reading just for the pages when the game released and people started realizing how bad this poo poo is and the tone changing from epic brofist 24/7 through all stages of grief after pre-ordering the $100 Balls of Steel Edition.

Wayback machine archived some of it . Here are some bits: The mod's disclaimer in the OP: Axemaniac posted:So talk about Duke, talk about the game, but don't bother trolling people who like the game and Duke's Bros show some balls of steel and don't let people goad you into things, every one has different opinions and this game isn't for everyone, respect that. Commie Eggman posted:
KungfooMF posted:The DNF demo made me want to play it more. When I saw holoduke my head exploded. I think this game is going to surprisingly good. It sure as gently caress isn't going to be Daikatana. Bellend Sebastian posted:Yes it does look a bit dated, yes it might play a little clunky and yes i have waited literally half of my life for this game to be released, but none of these things are going to deter me from having a good time. Under the slightly tarnished surface is a lot of love. It may be a bit dated in all respects, but this is Duke Nukem, if you remember back when Duke 3D was released, around all the excitement of Quake, it was considered dated visually and gameplay-wise, but it was fun, had a different kind of depth to it and it had a personality. All of those things i can see in this game. UR1S posted:I don't get the haters, man. I guess they're going to hate, but how can they when this game shoves a mighty boot(*) full of fuckawesome up their asses? Some people are just so caught up in themselves they can't have a little, harmless FUN every once in a while. Ummm, hello, not every game is Dwarf Fortress, neckbeards Bellend Sebastian posted:Requesting that anyone who doubts their bets on Duke has their Duke's Bros tags removed. 7thBatallion posted:This thread is utter tripe with posters complaining for the sake of complaining. gently caress all of you, save for Funkmaster, VarXX and a few other bros. I'm out. A mod later in the thread: Axemaniac posted:gently caress YEAH! I'm screaming this poo poo 24/7 in the gym, gently caress you all that hate this game, this game is the best. Sadly the final hours of the thread that could be described as the plot of "Downfall" are difficult to get to as Wayback is pretty spotty. Clicking on question marks under people's names seems to bring up some later pages, if anybody cares you can find some stuff this way.

Nah, that can work perfectly fine, you just need to be proactive in getting rid of the actual idiots. That ain't happening if those guys are the ones running the show, tho.

I remember the dnf thread also featured Microwave, son of Microwave's mom, being ganged up on and mocked about his hot mother because he was the only person prior to release really insisting that it would be poo poo. I recall a heavily quoted photoshop of duke cupping his mom's breasts and I'm not certain but I think he might have said something like "I don't know why you think my mom's hotness invalidates my argument".

PBS Newshour posted:Its amazing that everytime someone compares a game to Daikatana in a "this game will never be like that" it often is and even worst. Eh have you actually played Daikatana? There's been this weird trend in the Early FPS thread in Games of people trying Daikatana out of morbid curiosity. It actually got an official patch relatively recently with some QOL stuff. People consistently discover that, yeah, the game is actually that bad. It is a bad game in every atom of its conception. It's not quirky bad, it's not cute bad, it's not so bad it's good. It's just really, really bad. DNF is bad too, but it's just a combination of generically bad and monumentally disappointing. Divorced from the hype, it's cheap and forgettable. Daikatana transcends that.

Even if the game was good I can't help but feel that the kind of person who would get so hyped up for it is just a massive tool which, I mean, I guess is accurate.

Depending on who you ask, the cut-off for early FPS (as far as that thread is concerned) is usually somewhere between Halo and Half-Life 2. But we'll pretty happily talk about FPS games that resemble older FPS games, like Bioshock or DO4M. Also, Daikatana was headed up by John Romero, so the direct connection to classic Doom makes it a good topic for the thread anyway.

Sham bam bamina! posted:The Daikatana Let's Play is one of two that I've watched all the way through (the other being Sonic '06). That game is unbelievable. Development was supposed to complete in 1997 and the finished game is based on idtech 2, which is winter 97/98. Notwithstanding the fact that it bloated into a whole new millennium, it's an early FPS, probably the nail in the coffin of the early FPS.

Daikatana didn't put the nail in the coffin for early FPS at all. If anything it was probably the fact that the sequels to Unreal and Quake 2 were multiplayer only. Meanwhile single-player experiences of the day were either becoming more prevalent on consoles (Goldeneye, Halo) or more focused on narrative (Half-Life) or more "realistic" (Call of Duty). Normies didn't give two shits about Daikatana anyway.

Daikatana looks pretty loving ugly so it can go live with Quake if it likes.

Sham bam bamina! posted:Huh. I was thinking of "early FPS" as Doomy stuff with raycasting and sprites, maybe something like Quake at the latest. Well "early" is definitely a changing definition. Half-Life 2 came out halfway between Wolfenstein 3D and Doom 4.

I was trying to find the origins of Microwave's mom in the SAclopedia, and it linked me to what I am pretty sure is the original DNF thread that nobody is able to find right now. It ends on page 469 despite listing a non-existent page 470. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3131879&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

DNF isn't so much outright bad (although yes, it is a pretty big clunker) as it's just the unfortunate result of over a decade's development slapped together like a horrific collage made by a small child from the bits and pieces of who-knows-how-many different iterations the game went through over the years.
