Doom and HalfLife are Crying

[TXBrain]

I think Doom3 and HalfLife2 have tears in their beers after the release of FarCry. There is no way Doom will have a better story line and both need to throw in a lot of DX9 graphics to please everyone. The crowd is already angry at the long delays. I think these games will come and go within a month or two and people will be shouting for more.

right...even though everyone's just been saying that far cry is just to hold you over till these two come out...if anything far cry has come and gone within a matter of months...

who said people were angry about the delays? doom 3 was always "when it's done" and while the delay of hl2 sucks it still doesn't take away from the game...it's the sequel to one of the best selling and probably most spectacular game ever made...with cs comming to the source engine and the already released xsi softimage mod kit...hl2 and probably doom 3 will be here for a long time...

Ummm...Farcry's storyline is quite lacking.

I didn't even get farcry the demo was less than impressive to me so I figured why waste the money.

They (iD) hired sci-fi writers.
And like everyone else said, FarCry's story was so-so.

I doubt it. I, for one, certainly don't need the DX9 features to enjoy HL2. Heck, my card doesn't even have full dx8.

Wanna bet Doom 3 and HL2 will last more than 2 months?
Even if the game themselves won't last that long, the Doom 3 engine and Source engine will be used for years to come.
I can't think of anyone who's going to buy the Crytech engine... maybe if it is reeeeally cheap.

Farcry had an awful storyline.

"White Chicks" > Far Cry in terms of story-line.

Suck it down.?

FarCry had a story? Hmmm, must have missed it. At least it didn't interfere with the amazing gameplay and awesome graphics.

How can something that doesn't exist interfere?

I can't think of anyone that would want to buy an excellent game engine and maybe sign the entire development team.

Except for maybe, uuh, EA.

As far as the angry mob goes, just search these threads by title and you will find almost everyone wondering WHEN the games will be coming out. When? When? When? I ask you When?
The original HalfLife was totally awsome but now it looks like a cartoon. The standards have been raised and I will be expecting a lot. The story line in FarCry isn't much but the graphics are far superior to any other game so far.
I'll be back later, I gotta go rent White Chicks
