You know, when you hype a game that much, only to have it get a desultory two-year-late release on the N64 (!), that must be...um...pretty bad!Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933545393470431585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-47303193880687460012007-03-24T13:50:00.000-05:002007-03-24T13:50:00.000-05:00John Romero can sleep more easily now.

Romero's infamous </I>Daikatana<I> is no longer the most notorious flop in video game history.</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, but Romero promised to <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daikatana#Controversy" REL="nofollow">make me his bitch</A>. I'm still waiting.<BR/><BR/>I really have to wonder if this will replace <I>Daikatana</I> as the most notorious flop. I know that it won't with me. The hype surrounding <I>Daikatana</I> was legendary, it was more than two years late, and it would have been an embarrassment even if it had shipped on schedule. I bought the game less than 6 months later for $5.00 in a bargain bin. Even at that price I felt ripped off until I gave it to a friend as a gag gift.<BR/><BR/>I think it's different with <I>Left Behind</I> because even thought it probably was a bad game (I've never played it to tell you for sure), nobody I talked to really expected anything more.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01496871164729312497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-74037813480786448252007-03-24T12:21:00.000-05:002007-03-24T12:21:00.000-05:00Those old comments were hilarious.

Isn't the phrase "unbiased expert" meaningless when dealing with subjective media? Isn't it generally true that we find critics with whose views we tend to agree and ignore those with whose views we are generally at odds?<BR/><BR/>Wow. I've been a gamer for a long time, and I don't think I've ever heard anyone get <I>that</I> pretentious over a scorned game.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661441668625677468noreply@blogger.com
