i'm actually surprised how many more sceptics there are than anyone else - interesting poll

None of the above for me.

My category would be "Indifferent".  When the game launches I'll try it, if I like it I'll continue playing, if not I'll go somewhere else.  I take other peoples opinion with a grain of salt and have no vested interest in the game succeeding or failing.

sorry to call you on this but if you're "indifferent" then why did you even bother responding?

oopsie double.

After a pile of MMORPGs that failed to live the hype in the past, people simply will not trust another company's promises, no matter how cool they sound.

Take a pile of MMORPGs that failed to live the hype in the past then most people simply won't buy another game with tons of promises.

that would be a more cynical approach then skeptical actually.  I have to admit that sometimes broken promises for devs. does tend to make the most ardent of fanbois "Jaded" but it happens.  But skeptical analysis is more based on "Proof is in the pudding"... meaning that I guess we'll see when the game comes out.  Will it be able to live up the the dev. hype or not?... only time will tell I guess

how about im hoping this game will be fun and the complete package and if its not i wont commit suicide and ill move on with my life. can we add that as a choice?

Actually I meant "won't buy" for not believing it will be delivered as said (missed "it" after the "buy"). In short, after some disappointments, I'll want to see evidence of the proposed mechanics before making claims/praise.

I'll just wait and see who buys it (again if it's ever released) and see what ppl will post on it afterwards.

shitty poll.  you shouldn't be adding your own reasons behind why you think each person fits into the corresponding category.  that and since not many people want to be called a fanboy or a hater, you will get an overwhelming skeptic vote.

I chose skeptic as it was the only logical choice, and most people will pick that one aswell.

LMAO I agree stupid poll. And hate? haha oh yea I have so much animosity for this game..

Meh, chicken sandwich.

Skeptic here.

I feel sorry for the people who buy this game at release (if there is a release). And yet, I hope the game succeeds.

I really don t get this. Let me explain, i know a few DF haters in real life. And thay all share the same view of life. If i ask them if they wanna go to Thailand for vacation, that say it will probobly suck. If i ask them to try a new dinner place, that say it will mostly taste shit. If i ask them if they wnna try Darkfall, they answer that it will surten be crap.

Hehe, that's the impression I get from reading people's posts as well.

None. Not a fanboy, but not a skeptic or hater. I think it will come out and be good, at least for a while, but it most certainly will not be the best game ever. There will be better games made in time. It will probably be the best MMO made so far though...

 

Your sig pretty much gives it away.

I believe DF will come out. And I think it will most certainly be good. But better games shall be made. I am not a die-hard fanboy, but I do have faith in Aventurine.

Hmm...

Perhaps we should try and find a definition for "fanboy" then... cause I'm kinda scratching my head on that one. 

A person thinks DarkFall will be the best MMO made to date... yet doesn't think they are a Fanboy? 

Umm... o.k. 

Edit:  Forgot to add... I picked Skeptic for myself... in case anyone was in doubt. 

I'm a skeptic, what else could any logical person be? To believe Tasos that this game is definatly going to release on the 22nd and will be "awesome" is akin to taking Osama Bin Ladens word for it that he will turn over a new leaf in a month and launch a salvation army hospital in Pakistan.

It's all about track records and evidence.

Skeptical.

I'm pre-cu SWG vet. Dev's and RP can glorify everything but the reality stands when we try the results.

I hope this game succeeds and have a lot of good feedback, but I'm still skeptical. And this is not only because i was ripped off by SOE, but because i've seen D&L land of promises sinking, TR sinking, AA sinking and the promised land of MMO Vanguard in a niche wreck. Experience stands against DF.

Too many promises. Lack of results.

On These Boards, I take the stance of...

Fanboy. I think Darkfall can be the greatest game ever released so far!!


Skeptic because I've been tricked too many times in the past, and this doesn't look to be any different.


Hater because a FFA PvP game will never succeed in this market, and Tasos is just running his mouth to sell games.
 

I'm a "Skeptic," but I think it's pretty lame how you named people who are more optomistic, or pesimistic as fanboys and haters on your poll so you would get the results you wanted to get. (I don't want to look back and reply, so to explain further, obviously less people will vote "fanboy" and "hater" since they're initially insulted.)

Just skipping by here, but I find it hilarious that you actually "feel sorry" for people who spend 50$ on a game when it comes out.
