When will my suffering end!?

So my suspicions are confirmed you never had anything worth while to say after all…good day to you

why isn’t it good if it’s fun? isnt that the point of games?

DNF restarted development on multiple new engines several times, which forced the team to scrap all their work every time, the BM team can’t legally do that (unless they switch to the GoldSource engine), so it won’t take that long.

To be honest we waited 12 years for Duke Nukem Forever and that game was horrible…then again they shoved it out the door due to all the threats of bodily harm…and because their money grubbing lawyers told them too… so there should be no issue waiting for Black Mesa Source…as long as its not worse then DNF…

Duke wasn’t Horrible, There were good parts and there were quite a few bad parts. In no way, shape, or form, was Duke 4 “Horrible”. Likewise, don’t go into BM expecting the best motherloving thing that has ever been released because what BM is, in a nutshell, is Half-life made in the source engine with updated graphics.

With a lot of completely reworked levels.

Dude I have a 1996 Saturn SC2. Freaky.

Single ladies is a horrible song, but it’s still stuck in my head.

Alien: Resurrection is a fucking abortion of a movie. I’ll still watch it if it’s on TV.

Technically good =/= enjoyable

you make no sense

if a game is fun to play, it has fulfilled its goal, therefore it is good
a crappy song isn’t good because it gets stuck in your head, that makes it annoying
a bad movie isn’t good because you’d watch it if it’s on tv (and if you enjoy watching it then obviously there’s something good about it)

:aah: :sick: :FFFUUU: Dudes above yakkin’ on about their saturns… pls stop already it’s makin’ me sick! You should be ashamed of it - not talkin’ about it all over the board!! Those scrap tin cans should not be called cars, and should most definitely not be sold as ones. Frickin’ garbage!! :’(O_o:facepalm:

Good vs. Enjoyable:
There are craploads of movies, songs, and other things that are absolutely terrible in comparison to the standards of their respective category, but still manage to gain a cult following regardless. Sometimes people like crappy things, because of that reason. They know it’s a piece of shit, but it’s something different than you normally see, which makes it enjoyable.

Plan 9 From Outer Space. Enough said.

There are a shitload of movies that are far far far far far worse than Plan 9. That one is just more popular.

Yes, but paying 5 or 10 bucks for a crappy movie is one thing, and 10 or 12 thousand bucks for a sack of s**t on wheels a whole other lunacy I do not get! :retard:

Games are like literature, or film, or any other narrative art form. ‘Fun’ is only a relative term. You shouldn’t judge a game plainly on this basis.

So I heard this game was coming out

You heard wrong.

i though this was interesting. i wonder what are they working on. i mean they guessed 2009 xmas as a release date, they didnt make it, but even then they said the mod is near.
so they must have found something cool to add, or they are making an engine change?

They started again from scratch

You may feel better if you think about this. You have been waiting since 2007 but some people have been waiting since 2004.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
