Actually there is only one thing that really pissed me off with this game. The Balls of steel limitied edition. All that money and the Nukem bust is tiny. I blame dead space 2 for that with that piece of shit plasma cutter. You buy these limited editions expecting greatness for your dollar and instead you get f**k all. Is bullshit I tell you! I mean at least the cards could have "the babes and quotes of duke nukem" instead of just being normal cards... Oh well what can you do except not fall for it...
I kinda expected this to happen, although I was hoping to be wrong and have Gearbox prove that something could be saved from the last decade of development. *sigh* Maybe Duke should have stayed dead going the all the first impressions I've read.

I told you all too, and I told you after I played the demo, and I kept telling you, and you all told me: "you don't understand!", "the game isn't for you!", "you don't know the meaning of the word 'fun'", "fuck you arse hole!".
And now I am duly laughing at you all. I fucking told you.
Also: why is everyone buying it when you've all been told its shit a million times ?!
The amount of times I've seen: "well this is really disappointing to hear, the game sounds like shit. Definitely not what I was looking for in DNF. Still, I'll buy it."
Errr... what?
The demo was awful so I'm not surprised that the final game is dreadful. One saving grace would have been being able to carry more then 2 weapons. Like being able to carry all weapons, the 2 weapon limit was lame, the car driving segment was terrible, it wasn't funny, it wasn't pretty it really seemed like a horrible product.
Hahaha look at this dude thinking that Duke would be an innovative experience. You realise yesh that it's not meant to be creative or refreshing or w/e. It's just an mindless shooter, I'm not sure what you expected...
The best thing about Duke Nukem for me is my store won free copies in a pre-order competition, and it's trading in for $82 (AUS) in the first week. HELL YEAH! That's $82 to go towards some GOOD game pre-orders! Thank you, Duke 
I was holding out hope until the demo. But after that, I don't see how anyone remains optimistic about the game. Gearbox missed the bloody point.Woodsey said:
Is the company that made Duke Nukem publicly traded? I want to start shorting the piss out of their stock and make a shitload of money.
Everything I've actually seen of the game looks weak. The combat looks hideously slow paced, awkward and small scale. All the humour I've seen in it have just been references. Not even jokes built on references, which I'm fine with, just references. Ones which don't even make sense.
That guy's shouting, and he sounds just like Christian Bale ranting!
That soldier ran forward and died suddenly! And he's called Leeroy Jenkins! Wasn't that funny when we originally watched that video five years ago?
And oh look, Duke doesn't want Master Chief's power armour because it's for pussies. Instead the EDF trooper offers him a weapon. Is the real joke here that he can't accept the weapon because he has a two weapon limit that, while a perfectly functional game mechanic, has no place in this type of game?
Hahahaha.

I dunno, I'm a little skeptical of some reviews. I think too many fans are wearing nosalga goggles. I've never played any of the previous DN games but I thought the new one looked like a very promising alternative to "Brown Shooter X".
I watched a several fans play and even enjoy the game up until certain points (usually when they find out about the two weapon limit or the regenerating health) and then ***** like crazy. It's really surreal mood whip-lash, they go from loving it to hating it. I think too many people are complaining over any comparison to modern shooters or anything else not living up to the hype. It's not perfect but it's still better than most of the crap we get nowadays.

Waiting for this game to be $5 on steam before i consider buying it. Seriously. Sub par game with 15 years in the making. Screw. That. I can't believe you got suckered into buying a CE edition.
IIRC Fox was part of development. Wouldn't surpise me if they are caning the news so the can recoup there investment.DaHero said:
As for the game I found two part that where really annoying. The second driving part. It was just too long sure it was broken up between driving and hunting for gas rinse and repeat.
I enjoyed the game tbh. The regeneration health works well when you actually get a sizable health bar a bit further in to the game. In the demo you have the minimum health and damn you where puny. The two weapon limit isn't that much of a biggy sure I would have liked it a bit more like Serious Sam in that respect; though it works well enough.
The real issue is it isn't a new game. It's very much the same game that they where working on in 97-99. 3d realms lost people then caned people but in the end those people picked up the torch of the game they'd worked on years before.
It reaks in places of a HL2 wannabe but it has it's own merits. The game is a nostalgia trip in may places as well and it knows it. Movement and animation are very reminiscent of Duke Nukem 3D. And it really doesn't feel too different having recently played both.
I might be in the minority here but it feels generic and the same because it was one of the games to set those very things up. It subverts some tropes quite rather amusingly. It's not a master peice but its more fun that some of the newer CoD's SP has been for me. It's better than Bulletstrom in the one liners department.
As some have pointed out the jokes are old but then the SP was pretty much done in 08. The game rides on Valve and Portal refrances in places or at least has them.
