A New Decade

2009

Its now 2010 here Deus Ex is almost a decade old and runs on handheld computers no bigger than the cd case it shipped in.

Lets stop this nonsense, Either kill this mod or set a firm release date, AFIK ts lost all credibility.

I'm not trying to troll anyone but i think we need an eyeopener here guys.

Really? Have you checked the other threads in this forum? You think what we need is a thread that insists the mod be released right this instant or declared dead, because we don't have enough of those already?

Pardon my French, but fuck off <_<

Oh. And happy new year, Mr. Scrooge.

I hardly see how a rather rude ad hominem changes any of the points above, Its a new decade and still no release date #-o

Your point has validity (if not merit) but has none-the-less been made over and over and over again throughout the year, and repeating it serves no purpose apart from filling our board with more bitterness and frustration.

As for the ad hominem, I thought I'd get the left-over bile out of my system before the new year.

Heres a wild thought, Maby if you set a firm release date and fucking stuck to it there would be less bitterness and frustration =D>

Honestly a mod for a decade old game, whose last public release was half a decade ago, With no updates for nearly a year :roll:

What do you expect

We are meant to think that the HDTP team are true to their word in that HDTP will be done & released when it is ready, that they are working hard with their limited time they have to work on it, and that trolls, idiots, and people without a shred of patience are only making the team more and more annoyed, in addition to making everyone else more annoyed. >.>

I remember something, not a mod, that announced a release date. Turned out to be a huge mistake, ruined their credibility. Then, last year (assuming I haven't lost track of time) they released. It only took 16 times longer than they said it would. There was much rejoicing. Business is, to my understanding, good. Credibility exists. I have three of their products in this very room.

As near as I can tell the only mistake the company ever made was announcing a release date.

-

Also, if those quotes are accurate I hasten to add that apparently they never said "It's almost done." I fail to see the credibility problem in bringing up the mod's almost done in sentence fragments. Sure, we might be more confident dealing with people who don't use sentence fragments, but surely such a project could be done brilliantly even if the team didn't speak English of any kind.

-

I would be interested to know how killing the mod would give the mod team loads of credibility. I would think that killing the mod would immediately defunctify the mod team, and things which have been defunctified things have no credibility other than that which they had prior to defunctification.

I think its perfectly reasonable at this point to ask where this mod is going.

The mod isn't going anywhere. It's not a train. Nor is it a plane, or a boat, or a car, or a truck, or a barge, or a zeppelin. It isn't a helicopter or a space ship either.

If we must use a metaphor of motion then its direction has been clear since inception. It is heading towards completion.
