Board 8 > Rate the Game: Daikatana

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules:
- Rate from 0 to 10 (one decimal place is fine, more than that and I'll round for you). I'd prefer if 5 were an average rather than 7.
- You may vote for any games you want that have been rated before at any time. You may also change your vote at any time.
- No alts, no joke voting, no “purposeful downvoting” - you all know this.
- Please only vote if you've played enough of the game to be able to rate it.
- You may nominate as many games as you want on any given day. Multiple noms of the same game aren't necessary.

Our least played game up to this point knocks out one of the few games remaining in the Bottom 10 that were there when I took over

Today's game looks to challenge the record that A Hero's Tail just set. I mean, I have never heard of this game and it came out for the GBC of all systems.

Are you sure people weren't nominating the PC version?

Not that I've played either.

xfd dude, it's just a popularity contest on the internets.

Actually, I don't know. It was nominated before my reign. According to GFAQs, the GBC version is the only one that has that simplified title while the other two versions have the designer's name in front.

Also, the nomination, as well as each game since TMNT NES, were from a list in the nomination document I have that is comprised of games from a topic that Ed made where everyone would list a set of 10 games that would give a different score on a 1-10 scale.

Daikatana received a 10 from someone and if I am to believe the ratings in the main page of each game, the GBC version is vastly superior to the other two.

lol John Romero/10

But yeah, the PC version is the more "popular" version, but I don't know anyone who actually played it. It's most famous for being a complete disaster in both quality and sales despite the hype and, of course, being a pet project of one of the biggest names behind Doom.

final bump I guess

Can I rate it based on watching the Proteus let's play <_<?

Don't think many people will go out of their way to actually play this. It isn't even fast/easy to run like Big Rigs is.

For our own safety.

The GBC Daikatana was apparently just a game and not the gigantic disaster the FPS was.

Still, I doubt you'd find someone who actually played it.
