3.0. Thats way too low considering how they keep giving COD a 9.0 and its been the exact same game for four years now.

Fizzman

In the defense of GS, Activision paid for that score fair and square!

Only MW3 flopping hard could topple this...or can it?

GS gets the big advertising dollars, perks and kickbacks, no way that's ever gonna happen.

But the staff and budget? Knowing Gearbox, I'm sure they knew the game was in a pitiful state, and they would have started it again if they could.

Maybe Gearbox just wanted the IP and figured they could cash in? I mean, honestly, who knows. I understand being respectful of the work 3D Realms and Triptych put into the game, but you can only take something like that so far.

Looks like this is just hit grabbing on GS part, give it a lower rating then other sites to draw in traffic, not the first time theve done it.

Heil68

I think Kevin justified his points well in the review.

Oh, you played the full game and have first hand experience?

I never claimed to :P but I don't think it's just been given a 3 to draw hits, there's not a single complaint in the review which is just thrown out there for the sake of it - and those are complaints which I've heard about elsewhere/seen in gameplay videos. It's a fairly written review. Score is harsher than I thought it would be (I expected at least a 4), but the review attempts to justify that .

Ironbass, your new ME3 sig is outstanding! may even be the best one you've designed to date. Props x20 :)

I'll still be happily parting with my money for this game.

Still, the score doesn't surprise me at all. Nor does the reaction. ;)

I doubt it was up to them to decide. I suspect at this point 2K just hit the table. Not without reason, though.

True that. Well, hopefully Gearbox will make more Duke games. The series deserves a better send off than this. Also, you new sig is ballin'. :P

That's a harsh score. I think that score has to do with the game not being perfect after ten years more than anything.

I was expecting a 4.0 honestly. :P oh well, if i enjoyed Alone In The Dark alot which is considered to be one of the top fails this generation then im sure im going to enjoy DNF a hell of a lot more. Hopefully now that Gearbox bought the licence they make a DN game from the ground up which im sure will do great.

Oh and THIS

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] They should have done that.

DarkLink77

Oh my :o

How are you holding up Darklink? I mean even ME2 haters don't deserve to have their dreams crushed like this :P

Eh. Honestly, it doesn't really bother me. I can still get it down the road if I feel like it, and Duke 3D still exists. I mean, no one expected greatness here. Ah, well. Now maybe we can get a proper sequel to Duke 3D. I might have to change my signature, though. Which blows, because I really like this signature.

Change it to Uncharted 3 *trollface* lol. Nah, I know that won't fly with you, so do some Skyward Sword :D

While I don't agree with the number score (I would have given it a 5.5), the review is dead on. My main complaint is how all of the running and gunning is replaced by running and doing other stuff. I almost lost interest in the first few levels, because it was just back to back missions of you walking around looking at stuff and listening to other people's random BS.

So much better than Mass Effect 2 amirite?!

Was that really necessary? I mean, really? At least I was just yanking your chain.

From experience, I can say that sometimes things you say here ( or games you hype, to be more specific ) can come back and bite you in the ass. :P

I want video reviews for these low scoring games. Would be much more entertaining to watch a game get bashed than praised, for me anyway.

I actually want to play this now, while I wasn't interested in it before.

Or just sold it for cheaper. The main problem with the game is that they expect you to pay $60 for it. They know its not worth that damn much. :P

I'm shocked that this game turned out like this. I'm not a fan of Duke Nukem but I'm sad to see this. I can't imagine what it must be like for the loyal fans out there who pre-ordered as soon as they could and then waited patiently for nearly 15 years. Anyone out there who fits that criteria has my sympathy.

I think I want to make a ME1 sig, putting emphasis on the story completeness (beginning, middle, climax, end, clear antagonist, etc.) difference in choice in all situations (being able to be more than either a do-gooder or a pompous a-hole) and Mako planet exploration... all the things I enjoyed in the first game that were missing from the second.
