    Man, that really puts an emphasis on just how inept 3D Realms were. Gearbox FTW!

    It's been delayed long enough.

    I'm going to be criticised for this, but I'll say it anyway:

    I have a horrible feeling Duke Nukem:Forever is going to be a disappointment. Hyped up for so long, I think it's going to inevitably disappoint a bit, but the game could very well feel and play very dated that a game that didn't have such a popular franchise attached to it wouldn't get away with. I don't want it to do that, and I hope it won't, but I think it's a big possibility.

    Duke Nukem Forever? Wasn't that one announced almost a decade ago?

    The game was scrapped half finished and started again at least 3 times over the decade.

    I read an article about it in PC Gamer a few months back. Updated with recollections to Duke Nukem 3D. New story however. 'Time to kick *** and chew bubblegum!'

    Ya. Will be ok, 7,5 material. It can't afford to not to be a mindless shooter, how can you expand on that. Serious Sam did something new with massive levels and hundreds of enemies. What's going to set the Duke apart

    You predicted it. Eurogamer gave it 3/10. IGN was also less than complementary.

    Critics might pan the game but I'm sure fans will still love it.

    I'll be getting it just because hearing the Duke's one liners again will be like going back in time.

    That it would be this bad comes as a surprise though, I don't know what's more baffling, that it is a technologal mess, or that it's simply uninspired. No new enemies, no new guns wtque. The 'I hate Valve puzzles' part is simply emberassing, especially since the same joke was in the now mostly forgotten 'Sin' over a decade ago 'Don't play withe Valves'. Sin was a good game at the time though
