Why Gearbox is not to blame!

[Jacob Haggarty]

Wow, that bad, huh? Is the demo ever gonna be released to the general public?

You have to buy the game first. Then you get the demo.

Really? is it just me, or does that seem a bit redundant...

It's great to see my prediction come true. You all laughed at me when I said DNF was going to suck, now look at you.

*haughty laugh*

Really? I think pretty much everyone knew it was going to suck, we just thought it would suck in a different sense. We thought that it would be awful in the sense that it would be so hilariously bad it might just be good, not just plain old straight up shit.

Well, thats what i was thinking anyway...

Nah, it's Gearboxes fault. I mean, even if they had the game when it was almost done (which I doubt), they still could have easily changed the things that people are angry about.

I really liked Borderlands and I think Gearbox is a good developer, but they fucked up.

It would then be me and the label who released it that people should get pissed at it if sounded shit - not the original artist.

Alright, cool, was just trying to get you to crack a smile, mate.

Umm not trying to be that guy, but people do know that a good portion of the former 3D Realms staff work for Gearbox right? So in essence 3D Realms did finish DNF.

I reckon everyone is being a little way to touchy about DNF, of course it won't meet expectations. that's what Hype does after 12 years. and so far theyre are two types of people going round, the ones who are going "I told you it was going to be crap" and being smug about it, and other's who are arguing about the game's actual goodness based off what they played in the demo. and a majority of the latter are saying it's shit because it went with Modern trends. here's a question, How else is it going to appeal to the millions of people who are so obsessed with realism. i'll just post the link of what im getting at

I reckon everyone should calm the hell down, play the game for what it is (when it comes out demo people can go stuff themselves), and just enjoy it. it's supposed to be fun.
