Darkfall

For pretty much only posters here, the vaporcallers.

Enjoy!

 Wouldn't it be smarter to post that after Darkfall is released?

People are not calling Darkfall vaporware just because of its long development cycle. They are calling it vaporware, because Aventurine has not shown us anything in the game firsthand.  Aventurine writes developer logs and shows us screenshots, but they don't show us the features they promised us first-hand. I am sure that everyone here wants to see some gameplay footage of Darkfall.

The least Aventurine can do is apologize for the lack of information about Darkfall, and long development cycle. 3D realms apologized for the long development cycle for Duke Nukem Forever, why dosen't Aventurine?

If Darkfall is released then I will play it, but I will not have blind faith in a company that obviously dosen't care about its fans.

Lame comic, and a sad commentary on the human condition. 

Fanatics on one end of the spectrum want fanatics on the other end of the spectrum to be punished.  The harsher and more inhumane, the better.  Hey!  They had it coming. 

Whatever.  I will stick to the middle road.

True, but in my opinion people that call Darkfall vaporware have more common sense. They don't have blind devotion to something. When something sounds fishy they don't pledge their lives to it.

This is my first post in the Darkfall forums by the way, so you can't really call me a fanatic.

I think some of the problem is the varying definitions used for "vaporware".  In the most extreme sense, DF is not vaporware, as they have something.  Screenshots and videos are enough to convince me that a game is in dev.

Of course, the lack of  proof for a game that is in decent shape makes me very skeptical.  There is a game (IMO) but what shape is that game in?  Less than 6 months to release, and we have been shown very, very little.  From my experience, this indicates a game that is in bad shape.

My guess is that DF will release, and that it will most likely be a train wreck.  Just like many other indie games similar to DF.

I totally agree.  I still hope DFO proves to be a incredible success.  AoC isnt a failure but it's not a game for me.  So I still hoping WAR, DFO and the others make it so I have choices to play.  For now, DAoC is still the best MMO (imho) hehe

I have to agree with you, but the game really has no gameplay footage. Well there is gameplay, but they are basicly just trailers. They don't even show an interface. So basicly what we may be looking at is a movie, rather than a game.

I agree with you on DF being a train wreck if it is released. If it took them so long to develop a game, can we expect the developers to fix bugs, and add features in a timely manner, So the long development cycle isn't the only problem with Darkfall. 

Aventurine has been developing Darkfall for over 7 years. How many years will it take them to make an expansion pack. I think that is something that almost everyone looking forward to Darkfall has overlooked. If Darkfall is released then great, will it hold up for long, I think not.

Great, I like how you're not making Darkfall you're only hope, like how Darkfall fanboys do.

Don't get over-excited about any games. Trust me I know, I was really pissed off when I played Tabula Rasa and it wasn't the game for me.

If Darkfall is released the fanboys can feel free to say I told you so, I could care less.

hehehe after DnL hoax I hardly believe in the incoming games.  I wait and see.
