Dwarf Fortress on Steam - Page 2

Kerensky287 · 05-09-2011, 07:55 PM

I admit that most of my hatred of Dwarfs?! comes from that god-awful, half-assed trailer you can watch in the Steam store.

Those fucking dancing gif dwarves. Oh my GOD. It's like every fucking internet pop-up EVER rolled into one.

THEY AREN'T EVEN DANCING TO THE MUSIC.

All that puts me into the mindset that Dwarfs?! is a half-assed cash-in on a well-loved internet phenomenon someone else made first for free.

(but oh god yeah Dwarf Fortress needs some interface work)

Yeah, those dancing dwarves looked horrible.

Not gonna comment on the Dwarf thing being a carbon copy or not, ain't played Dwarf Fortress enough to make that call.
But Tripwire Interactive makes awesome games, Killing Floor is one of my favorites of all time.

I dunno. Digging deep to find treasure seems less cool than digging deep to find 'fun'.

I thought Dwarf Fortress was mostly about digging deep to accidentally find high-pressure boiling water or steam or lava or spider-men that murder all your dwarfs.

Exactly. 'Fun'.

If magma furnaces are still in I imagine Magma still counts as both treasure and fun.

If I could ever figure out WTF is going on in Dwarf Fortress, I wouldn't be picking up this game.

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
