Daikatana Keeps Selling
by Steve Gibson, Jun 13, 2000 10:00am PDTWell now, a lot of you guys seemed surprised that The Daikatana was a top10 seller on its first week of sales. (Given all the bad reviews). It looks like The Daikatana is hanging tough for yet another week only dropping 2 spots down to #7. The GameWeek editor also tells me that Eidos is looking at *raising* the price of Daikatana back up to $39. Also of note is Quake3 has shown back up on the charts after quite a long time.

I admit though... that when I rode out of bounds the first time I had the shit scared of me when I heard a BANG out of nowhere (3am) and I was catapulted accross the map.
(Anyway... Daikatana is a lot of average)

really.
sorry, romero, you could have spent more than 3 years baking something better than this boring piece of crap.
FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!
In the orginal Quake the shareware mission was by far better than the majority of the game. The red boss guy (Chthon??) in e1m7 was awesome. Shub Niggurath blew. Scads of people were impressed by it, and dissapointed by the fact you had to telefrag shub when some gay ass star was in position.
The bottom line: Showcase your stuff at the start to draw people in.
Torq.
And Romero, stick to level designing. DM3 (the abandoned base) is still, by far, the best teamplay level.

I pre-ordered Daikatana from Eidos in January, because I thought, who'se gonna get me a better price than the publisher, right. Ack! Then those turds as Babbage's(aka The Most Expensive Place) have it for $30. Pisses me off. Oh well, I have a limited edition lithograph out of the deal (#40!)

a. it's such a bad game
b. they've been hearing about it for years
c. it's on sale
i'm playing daikatana right now.
and i'm trying to enjoy it.
but by far, it is the worst fps game i've ever played.
what the fuck is up with those soldier guys? the dead second they see you, they open fire and their fucking guns take like 25 damage.
so if there are 4 of them lined up, you're fucking dead in less than two seconds! for the last three hours, i've done nothing but play the same small piece of a level just trying to get past a door with eight or nine of these aholes lined up behind it.
the sticky-bomb gun is all screwy, too.
i can make bombs stick in mid-air. what fun!
the worker dudes are pretty damn annoying too.
you think ION could have used more than one sound for their screams.
uh
i could go on.
but it's not worth it.

And it might just be me, but I like the gameplay too... not a whole lot, but given time it is fun.

I still think it's crap mind, but I only played the demo, so maybe the full game is better...... but then again........
I'm just hanging on for ADSL or some other such faster/cheaper connection to the web so i can play all my fav games and mods online more often.
