I tihnk your idea to animate the crew a little more could make it better, but as it is now, it actually falls a little short of the first video. You could go either way, rather spend a little more time learning how to animate them correctly or go back to the previous method. No matter what, you are one cool dude for doing this.
Agreed as far as the dumb "HAHAHA DNF LOL CAN'T WAIT!" responses on threads go. It's a joke with a punchline that's long stopped being funny. Personally I could not care less Duke, he is a figment of the past and a (probably) middle of the road game of the future. Whoop-de-fucking-doo.
I was on the team, so it was somewhat required of me to show up. Fun times, fun times. Except for that one dude who wouldn't let up with the butt slap thing. That was not cool. Why do people even do that. It makes no sense.
You guys are pissing me off with all your different games. I am still stuck at that point in FF7 when after the Gold Saucer race you're just plunked outside. Playing it on the PC is a bitch too, it keeps skipping and junk. My PC probably won't be able to run DNF :( Maybe I'll ask my mom for a new graphics card.
"Two of the things in this universe that I cannot for the life of me understand are nostalgia and the so called "so bad it's good" approach to art and media. The only circumstance under which I would buy DNF is if it reviews well, which it probably won't. I'm firmly in the camp that believes that Gearbox has better things to do with their time than finish the longest running joke in entertainment history. Borderlands was an extremely entertaining game. Hell, I'd be more interested in another Brothers in Arms game. "
I agree with this opinion. As someone with a business oriented mind, I know at least a few obvious things: Cutting your losses, and giving the audience what it wants. This isn't always true, and I agree that profit shouldn't always come before artistic integrity or whatever, but DNF is not artistic integrity. It will not represent some grand throwback to a golden nostalgic age, and will never do well enough in the market to justify it's continued existence. The audience that will actually appreciate this game when it is released will be as small as the odd Deadly Premonition cults, and only they will be satiated. To those that fall in that group: Good for you, I hope the game is everything you hope it to be. I mostly fall into the "couldn't care less" group, but a part of my brain knows that resources could be going to much better ideas.
Y'know what? In the overall cast of gym characters that I see every week, the couple bodybuilders (actual bodybuilders, not just steroid freaks) are a couple of the nicest, most helpful guys I've ever met. Steroids are freaking BAD for your liver, yes, and no, being giga-normous does not look great. However, they are always polite to everyone, don't hog machines, and always offer good advice if someone asks them for it first. They dedicate themselves to something specific, yes, and it's not always healthy, yes, but you could say the same thing for the video game habit. I count the bodybuilders I've met as better dudes than the countless jerks with cellphones, wife-beaters and sideways hats that I see being too loud 4 times a week. Just my two cents.
