    So it would seem, especially from the Ars Tech review;
    Duke Nukem Forever: barely playable, not funny, rampantly offensive

    Ja Mata, Tosa.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

    What a shame. I grew up playing this and doom as a kid.

    I was going to defend the game and say it wasn't that bad. I played the first half of it but obviously didn't get as far as that reviewer did, to see the things mentioned in the review. When i got to the "The only way to proceed is to kill both women." and the mentioning of abortion jokes i decided the game wasn't worth my defense.

    Gameplay wise its average. As average as average can be - the engine looks and feels like it came out of 07, and is as brown as you might expect from that era. Intellectually wise.. well, let's just say there's some things about the 90s I don't miss.

    I don't begrudge Gearbox for ressurecting the game, patching it and finishing it, but I can honestly say DNF should have stayed dead.

    Let the record show I do not approve of violence against women nor of making light about the killing of unborn creatures. Proposing the counter-point is Duke Nukem, you may now choose whom you agree with.
