I'll be honest here: I like Duke Nukem. I love playing DN-3D, even with the crappy graphics (nostalgia plays a big part, so does the fact that for a long time, it was the best my PC could run... in 2006). DNF looks awesome, I'll admit.
The problem is that it LOOKS awesome. It doesn't look like anything new is brought to the table here. You can punch - there's a new feature, but you could kick in the last two games, and bugger all's changed, apart from an animation of melee combat. Your health meter is now an 'ego' meter. If I was to really get fussy, the boss of the last game is recycled in this one, stage and all.
But, hell. I've waited 12 years for this bloody thing to come out, and if I've waited for a higher quality version of DN-3D, then I've waited for a better quality version of DN-3D. It's not gonna make me not want to play it, and it's not gonna stop me from at least trying to like it.
