Dunno about "horrible", but the consensus from the reviews I've read seems to be that it's (at best) an OK game which needed to be released 10 years ago in order to stay relevant and innovative. One of my undergrad art school friends just got it today, so I'm going to try it at his place and draw my own conclusions.

Also, "DNF" and "Chinese Democracy" may both be released, but I don't think the vaporware reference needs to be retired. Any game or album that takes 10+ years to be released deserves to be associated with the term vaporware, permanently (even if the development time is technically not infinite).
