Some day people will think back and laugh at all the non-believers.
No, but good job assuming I’ve only recently learned of BM’s existence. I’ve been waiting for this mod just as long as you, I’ve only recently joined the forums.
Get a life, if you had one, you’d understand why the mod isn’t out yet.
Hey everyone. Thanks so much for all your replies! Just try to not make this a hate thread so it will stay open. It’s supposed to be about the loss of interest in BM, not a place for dissing each other, complaining about the mod, or posting random stuff. Stay on TOPIC! I REALLY DON’T WANT THIS THREAD TO GET CLOSED!
If you have no interest, why are you on the forum and what is there to talk about?
There’s no loss of interest in Black Mesa, just a loss of interest in the forums.
I still HAVE interest. I am on the forum because I wanted to share my opinion of how most people are less interested in mod lately. People can obviously discuss that.
Maybe my perspective is different from yours because the mod will probably come out long before I am able to afford a computer good enough to play it, but the developers of this game don’t owe you or anyone else shit. Please remember that.
I agree with coolm4n. 6 years in fact is a long time, nuff said.
Wow. You must be really bored. Hurry up black mesa before we all turn to such desperate measures!
yup, they should have just made a Half-Life movie, with James Cameron, and Arnold
I see all the haters and it makes me sad to think that when the mod does come out, they will all slink back and say that they always thought the mod would come out.
come forth now, oh faithful lurkers, lest ye be one with the tides of the unbelievers.
Not to question the tremendous hours the devs are putting in, (see the devs community page for proof). But please oh god just release one more video to relieve me of my suffering. I need a sign that this thing is going somewhere. (Please do not refer me to screen shots repliers). Help Obi-wan Kenobi (devs) you’re my only hope!
Every fucking week someone makes a topic complaining that the mod hasn’t been released yet.
“I’ve been waiting for months!”
“Are you guys even working on it?”
“Just give us a release date!”
“LISTEN TO MY WHINY FAGGOTRY!”
The actual release date doesn’t bother me. I haven’t based my whole goddamn life around a HL2 conversion like some of you have.
Allow me to use a rainy day scenario as an example. Imagine a group of people inside a room, waiting for the rain to stop outside so they can go play and have lovely gay sex with each other in the fields. Of course they are all eager for the downpour to halt, but there isn’t anything they can do about it. The rain will stop when it’s ready. So all they do is stay inside and pass the time. They dicuss things, not necessarily about when the rain will stop but anything to pass time. Eventually they stop caring about outside. Who knows when the rain will stop? It’ll sure be good when it does, but why worry ourselves with something we have little control over? Thus the group of people inside the room sit around, pissing away time while at the back of their minds they patiently wait for the sun to start shining.
What they don’t do is run outside and start screaming at the fucking clouds to stop raining because they feel as though they’ve been inside forever and that everyone cares about their opinion.
I lost interest when they didn’t meet their release date. I’m just expecting to be disappointed down the line, like my expectations of the mod are going up the longer it takes and thats bad.
It didn’t bother me before that point. It just felt extremely bad to just hear “hey, no black mesa in 2009 after all”. So you think “they must be close”… and months go by… and more months go by…
It hasn’t been that many months yet, but each one makes it worse and more annoying. I just wish they listened to themselves and never gave a release date whatsoever.
I’m sure I’ll enjoy it when its out. I guess that being in the most boring part of my life right now and never having ANYTHING to do, it makes it worse… just wish I could be playing Black Mesa after all this time.
There are a fuckload of games out there besides this mod. You could just go buy some while you wait for BM. Or torrent them if you’re sersoft.
Being that this game is based on a 6 year old engine you are WAAAYYY behind.
Summer is mid June here… so that is when I mean.
Actually this version of the source engine is only 3 years old.
I don’t think inactivity should be taken as loss of interest. I check all four mods that I watch every day at least once when I get home, and though it’s been more than 100 days since the last update…there’s always tomorrow. Just gotta keep waiting. It’ll come, and then the people who “lost interest” will either realize they never truly lost interest or will not care because they found other things to do.
