With all of this talk about whether HL2 will suck or not when it comes out (I'm pretty sure it won't), I'd like people to remember another, wonderful game...
Deus Ex. Wow, the Eidos forums were buzzing, and the PCGamer previews of DX:IW as wonderful. The demo showed early warning signs, but people said, "Comon now, how could Warren Spector screw this up? IT'S DEUS EX!"
Well...
Another month and an Xbox later, fanboys were weeping.
While HL2 is a great franchise, better than Deus Ex, these early warning signs might be foreboding a bad release. Not a bad game for god's sake, I would be happing playing the E3 demo; but things that are sometimes missed in a hurry, such as hardware issues and bugs.
