I'm still going to buy it. This is one of those rare games where I don't care about reviews at all.

meh, dont agree with it at all, duke nukem is plain old, "screw political correctness" fun, and the gaming industry needs more of that, which is why i ignored every reviewer who said that the game wasnt worth it and guess what? if i would have listened to them then i would have missed out on one heck of a game, reviewers arent the end all be all of if a game is bad or good, reviews are opnion pieces from an individual who may or may not have the same point of view as you

Wow, sheash, they were... 'honest' :shock:

It... flopped :lol:

I didn't think it'd actually Fail to even get close to hype, and that was rather, forgiving.

Not surprising at all, the people defending it will probably realize that the game sucks once their hype dies down.

Regenerating health works in games, but I'd imagine not so much in what's supposed to be a throwback to old school FPS's

And no, I'm not surprised at all by this since it's been getting scores similar to this elsewhere.

Well, holy freakin' crap. Glad I didn't pick up my copy.

I hope the mod community gets the console, and can do something with this. Gearbox and 3D Realms should be ashamed of themselves. Duke deserved better.

Well, Doom 3's flop is now not legendary anymore.

EDIT: Thinking about it, this is more legendary than Killzone, Twilight Princess, Spore and Doom 3 combined. I hyped AAAA too. God, the lulz. :lol:

Exactly. There's a way to do politically incorrect jokes -- hell, Blazing Saddles is my favorite comedy movie ever. From what I've seen of DNF it's trying way too hard and just comes off as lame.

lmao totally getting that one! Seriously though, I never played much Duke or Serious Sam, but SS3 seems to be doing things right. I don't know much about it, but could it fill my timesplitters void at all?

Predictions on the PS3 version's score? I'm guessing 3.5 like the PC version.

Man, that's pretty bad. Shame it turned out so poorly since it took forever and a day to finally release.

Omg. It got the same score as Hyperdimension Neptune. It must be an abomination then...

Now GS gives their review and you jump ship:question:

I was expecting a lot. I was just expecting something that wasn't f***ing terrible. Decent at best i could have lived with, but geez. Well, at least it's out. Hopefully Gearbox will make a better Duke game in the future.
