It was nicer when Duke Nukem Forever was famous for never coming out

tfw old enough to remember the time Duke was the joke instead of Half Life 3

Half Life 3 not coming out was a joke before Duke Nukem Forever

Schrodinger’s Delayed/Rumored Game: while unreleased it is both the perfect game and the worst game of all time. You won’t know until it’s released.
- I hope TES 6 never comes out. Skyrim was a disappointment anyway, I don’t think my heart could take it if they made another story about a big bad wanting to destroy the world for no reason at all.
  
  I thought the reason was to get revenge on the human slaves who had stolen the voice from dragons?

Well, you can always join the Silksong community and re-live that experience for all of eternity
- They announced the release date earlier today! 😉
  
  I thought you were joking... THIS IS ACTUALLY REAL
  Team Cherry was waiting the entire time just to ruin my post
  So sorry @OP
- Is that the Hollow knight sequel? Still got nothing on Star citizen.

Are you talking about the 1996 side scroller? I'm still seeding that torrent.

- Those were awesome!

It's okay, we still have The Elder Scrolls 6 and Commander Keen 7 to wait for
- With how Bethesda has gone downhill since forever, are we really still excited about TEO6?
  
  100% depends on a bunch of stuff like the music, the quality of the characters and story, how the combat & movement feels, and if it ships day 1 with mod tools or not for me, vanilla being buggy is par for them but if it feels like a lived in world vs a half empty theme park is I think one of the big differences between Morrowind and Starfield.
- And Beyond Good and Evil 2
  
  I've made my peace with this. I cried a bit playing through thr anniversary edition and reflected on what could've been. I think I'm ok with there never being anything more, I would welcome a book or a comic though.
  
  With the way Ubisoft is going, that one's the least likely to see the light of day. Sadly :-(

Now it's out forever.

The same is going to happen now with GTA 6 :(
- There's more than one franchise with that problem. The Elder Scrolls...
  
  And that one needs a continuation of the story and lore, unlike GTA...

Think no one regretted it more than Gabe from Penny Arcade. https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/09/08/the-wager

This post reminds of Slashdot. Good times.

Yeah, at that point in time we still thought there was a chance of the shorter but faster to produce half life episode 3.

Honestly it was a good game for a console port. Really enjoyable and fun although the multiplayer was DOA.
