DescentBB

you can vote in the poll above and post how long exactly (about) you think it will continue to stay alive and strong. Comments anyone?

are you asking me how long i think i have left to live?

It will stay strong in cohesion even after future 6DOF titles, such as Core Decision, come out. Thus, I don't think it will really ever die.

QFT!

This poll makes me question how long I have on this Earth! I mean, how can you answer that!

There will always be Descent Players here's a picture that is 7 years old, My son Michael sitting on a 3DPro looking at the screen check out his hand (still using it to this day on old win98 machine)...

I'll see if I can get one and upload it tomorrow he is playing now and I mean HOOKED and HOOKED hard, so I say the young guys here that are young men now will expose thier children to the Greatest Game released in our life time!

Diedel's upgrading of the best version ever D2 will assure that there will ALWAYS be a Descent Community and as long as myslef and one other person is playing Descent , D2 or D3 then ther ewill be a DBB!

i've never really been a member of the descent 3 community. i kinda consider myself a member of the Interestingly Intuitive Control Method (IICM) community, but i just made that name up.
Honestly i was more into Descent1 than i am into Descent3. I don't consider the Descent1 community to be dead - i just consider it to have moved onto descent2 and then descent3 and then it will move onto other 6DOF (or IICM) games.

so there ya go, i think a sense of "interesting intuitive control methods" community is more important than any descent3 community. Since we rarely talk about D3 thesedays, it's somewhat proof that the DBB isn't really held together by DESCENT, but rather it's held together by our common taste for that kindof gameplay and control method - of which Descent was only one (well, 3) such game.

In the spirit of the season.....ala Handel

FOREVER...AND EVER! HALLELUJAH.....HALLELUJAH!!!!!


sorry. got carried away...of course THIS particular Descent community will always stay around, even if few of us actually play the game anymore.

No time spent making two (or more) people better friends is ever wasted.

my bad I though you were talking about Descent Community, I didn't really consider there was any difference other than version number, It is Descent

hey who cares. don't like teh question? redefine it into something you'd rather answer like i did

Depending what is referred to as 'live', but I would say less than 10 years for any reasonable activity. (The 40-year-old disenfranchised chatting on forums doesn't really count)

hey roid, can i join the iicm community? i don't see there is any difference between between a d3, and a d community. but the iicm community sounds like fun!

sure. we meet every wednesday to chant and burn keyboards

/me gets naked and paints himself for the chanting and burning

For your initiation they can be your keyboards yeah.
Otherwise they have to be other people's keyboards that you steal while wearing the ceremonial Helmet
(it's a black fully enclosed motorcycle helmet with "LOW FOV MADE ME DO IT!!!" painted visibly on it).

cool... are we required to buy our own helmet? or do you provide a cermonial helmet for use?

2 years, 234 days, 12 hours, 15 minutes, and 26 seconds from the time this is posted.

Or maybe that's how long until the end of my sanity. Either way-

Dang bro! has it been that long? I remember when you first posted that pic. My how time does fly.

As long as this board is here, duh.

Start 'em young!

huh?

mesh wrote:PENIS!

That's an awfully hard word.


IMHO D3 shall live for another few years and then we'll all finally grow up.

I'm never growing up... I don't even know what growing up means.

The D3 community? Is that some small club in the Descent Community or something?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?

I guess your caps lock is stuck, I also guess ymesh that by not answering my PM that you think I am going to go away, but I don't think you should continue baiting me.

no offense Koolbear, but my comments in this thread are not directed at anyone in particular. It's nice to see that you have an interest in the longevity of Descent. There is nothing else quite like it.

cheers!

And I did reply, it must be stuck in some queue. ...bait...

Is that cause you don't have a PENIS?

Hey, KB, is that you? Cute kid but I bet he like xbox or something.

Didn't we do this last year?
And the year before too?

I wholeheartedly agree, KoolBear. I also agree with you, Stryker. It may not EVER die. The community is strong and we can keep it going!

D2x XL is another way to fire up the spirit and keep the energy in motion!

Descent will never die!!!

My 6 year old, (That's him in the Avatar) is working his way through D3 single player. He's on level 2.

So, we can hope it will last a long, long time.
