What better: Vaporware vs Utter Crap

Vaporware - The game that you hear about but disappears off the face of the earth and never comes out.

Utter Crap - i.e. Maximum Football

WHAT BETTER???

JonInMiddleGA · 09-01-2009, 05:33 PM

Vaporware by a wide margin, assuming no one preordered.

Vaporware.

Duke Nukem Forever may eventually turn out decent, but Daikatana was definitely crap.

Utter Crap has a value in making fun of it--assuming that you were not unfortunate enough to buy it.

Vaporware is just kind of . . . sad.

I voted vaporware but it's close. Utter Crap lets you down but you don't have that indefinite optimism that MAYBE it will be out soon and be good. Utter Crap is at least out and you KNOW not to buy it. As albion said, you can also make fun of Utter Crap and have the worlds greatest forum thread devoted to it.

But Utter Crap gave us the Maximum Football Thread!

As long as you don't actually buy it, there is far more entertainment potential with Utter Crap than there is in Vapor Ware like, say, Duke Nukem Forever. That was just sad.

I vote utter crap as being better. Utter crap I just listen to you guys and dont buy.

Vaporware I have to read the hype to get all excited and than nothing. Huge disappointment.

I voted Utter crap for these same reasons.

Much higher disappointment with vaporware...but utter crap can be highly entertaining.

+1 I've been waiting on TCY 2 for like 7 years now and VPI's website doesn't even work anymore.

Utter crap - at least terrible games can make for some funny videos on youtube or some good messageboard threads

Vaporware is "better" in that it is less bad. Utter crap will tempt you to buy it, and sometimes I fall for it. You can only preorder vaporware, and most responsible companies won't make you pay until they actually ship.
