whoever wrote this review should be fired from gamespot.

Why?

The game looks like garbage, GS isn't the only site giving it bad reviews.

BeOneWithTheGun4691d ago (Edited 4691d ago )

Wow. That is one negative review. I am an old fart and played the crap outta the old Duke games and had really high hopes for this one. I normally just read reviews to get an idea about a game, not really base an merit on it but after reading all of the low scoring ones, I gotta say, I am not even gonna gamefly this one.

BTW: Alice: The Madness Returns sucks, too.

ATiElite4692d ago (Edited 4692d ago )

Duke Nukem has NEVER been about graphics or innovative game play. we should just be lucky someone pick it up, finished it and released it.

The game is basically 8 year old tech with sugar dumped all over it in an attempt to modernize it. as long as the controls are solid then fine cause remember the game is 8 years old, actually 14 years of Dev time.

It's Duke Nukem, lots of shooting, one liners, and odd ball game play not to be compared with Half Life.

I haven't played it yet because it's not $2.99 yet.

I just played the game for about an hour, and it SUCKS really bad!!! I loved DN3D, I've played it non stop back in the day and it was the first game that I played online!

I am very disappointed with this game!

kaveti66164691d ago

why?

duke nukem fans were not fans of duke nukem just because of the name. they liked the series because back then it was good.

now it's relatively shitty.

kvg884692d ago

Im sorry, but I don't see why this game should be treated as a special case in the modern video game market in terms of reception and review scores. If it sucks, it sucks and we as gamers have to face that fact. I will rent first and buy later only if I like it, not because of infatuated nostalgia for a gaming era that has long since ended. By buying a turd, you support the creation of more turds to sell. If the game is as bad as reviewers are saying, perhaps it should have been held back longer or cancelled. The industry shouldn't have to move backwards for a game. As of right now, DNF is getting scores it seemingly deserves as they have been generally negative all around the board.

SantistaUSA4692d ago

I agree with ya! I think Gearbox should have just started from the ground up. I've been playing for little over an hour, and it's horrible :(

RufustheSage4692d ago

Holy shit, can't believe reviewers are dumping on the game so hard! What did they honestly expect?
I'm enjoying my Balls of Steel Edition, shooting pigs with my shotgun, that's all I need from Duke.

banjadude4692d ago

I too, picked up the Balls of Steel edition. Hopefully it arrives in the mail tomorrow!

refocusedman4692d ago (Edited 4692d ago )

Wow a 3.5 I can honestly say I really didnt see that one coming. When I first looked at it I honestly thought it was out of 5. lol

Dandizzle577d ago

God damn Megadeth Duke Nukem anthem is the best.

Snookies12577d ago

It is pretty amazing, I remember being so hyped that they covered the Duke theme back when it happened haha. I still quite enjoyed Forever though personally.

Venoxn4g576d ago

It is great, you should check out Eric Calderone - Duke Nukem meets metal .. thats proper as well

"so wrong yet so right"

Only a few will know what Im talking about lol :D

porkChop619d ago

Wow, that advanced lighting makes a huge difference to the visuals. I get that Gearbox tried to slap everything together and release a finished product. But it seems like they cut out a lot of content that would have made the experience more enjoyable. That's a shame.

Number1TailzFan618d ago

Nerfed due to consoles.. and not the first time it has happened.

-Foxtrot619d ago

Kind of amazing the difference a lighting engine makes

Number1TailzFan618d ago

Same, the AI could be pretty dumb but the bosses were fun. I thought the levels (mostly) got better later in the game too.

XiNatsuDragnel618d ago

Devs nerf a game man best quote I've ever heard.
