Yahtzee's disappointment is probably the worst thing a game can receive from him.Goldhawk777 said:
Look at Kane and Lynch: Dog Days. Yahtzee HATED that game, and he blew it to pieces.
But this? Yahtzee couldn't even bring himself to really bash the game. It was just...sad
Ugh.
That's all I got to say about Duke Nukem Forever. Just..."ugh".
This game fared better as a Vaporware, because it's so much more exciting to imagine what could have been instead of what is for something that has went deep underground for so long. It's much like the Holy Grail or Jimmy Hoffa's body: it's the search that actually makes it exciting, not the actual discovery.
If I wanna be a bit truer to my Yahtzee's Nahtzee nature, I'll say that this game is the equivalent of a zombified corpse of Kurt Cobain. It's exciting to see him come back, yes, but you'd sooner put two through his head instead of risking him re-starting his music career again.

In only serves to further my theory that deep within the cold black void where his heart used to be, Yahtzee is still human, and is not quite cruel enough to bust the nuts of a game already down on the floor bleeding profusely to death. XDGoldhawk777 said:
I've must have been watching WAY too many episodes of ZP, because I could notice something odd in Yahtzee's voice. People! He was SAD! As in really emotionally depressed. This time I really think he was not just doing his job of bashing at games (in the name of improvment, of course), no. He was mourning.
I mean, it's not like he has no reason to. This was supposed to be the "Lighting shuriken/ tits on fire" combo he(we) was(were) hoping for.
Let's all make a minute of silence, in name of what DNF could have been... before we conform and slap some walltits

Sorry dude, but Yahtzee already said that he's not a ninja for hire. He reacted the way he reacted for the same reason that we, who did not spend the 90's sucking our toes, reacted that way. DNF was supposed to bring fun back to the shooter genre. Hell to bring fun back to gaming in general.Goldhawk777 said:
I for one am sick and tired of "buuu Bugs killed my wife! waaaa". That just disgusts me.
this game really sucks. was utterly disappointed with it. i am surprised he dint say anything about the limited amount of 2 weapons.
i wish i can get my money back. this game is such a waste of money. the beginning was alright but after an hour i had pretty much no fun with it. after i finished the game i just deleted it.

...Well to be honest, the only Duke Nukem game I've played is Manhattan Project (an action/platformer) so I really don't know what the game is supposed to be like. Trailers look a bit... Eh.
Good video though; one of the funniest in recent times.

Its a shame no one likes this game, but hey with nearly 15 years of development time its hard to live up to that kind of hype
Hell, i still want to have a go at the game just to see it myself.
But i wasn't expecting this review to be like this, i was expecting him tearing DNF apart so furiously like Yahtzee's never done before. But instead, it felt... weird. But it was ok, and pretty funny. So, i guess it was well done.
