Zero Punctuation: Duke Nukem Forever

[Name Not Found]

Man, people are stupid.

This review was satire. It's trying to show that Duke Nukem would have to solve world hunger, bring about world peace, and give out free peanut M&Ms to make up for the long wait time. Also, if they didn't use those ten years making THE. BEST. GAME. EVER. then people going to call bullshit on them.

Positive Yahtzee scares me. Even if the positivity is faker an a emo kid.

For the first 20 seconds or so, I was like "What!? They finally released it!? And it's good?!"

And then reality punched me in the face.

 

[messy]

I have to say this was a master stroke from Yahtzee, and I find I agree with him about the level of hype this game has received.

Why Duke Nukem?

Good review, but I was hoping he'd review infamous

Well though, get over it. YOu can't always have everything you want life doesn't work that way.

On the other had that is a kick ass name...

Why Duke Nukem?

Why not?

one of the funniest reviews he's done in such a long time.

Fantastic. Sir, my hat is off to you. One very sharp, satirical nail in the coffin for this absolutely epic, defining piece of vapourware.

From the stories, they'd complete tiny pieces and then the management would just repeatedly dump the pieces in the bin. I can't believe they got away with it for so long, but part of me always hoped there'd be something to show for it, even if it was quite obviously going to make Daikatana look good.

Awesome satire!

Also, didn't the development team go bankrupt? How can they still develop a game when they have no money and no workers? o_o

Sorry, but is the game really out or is it just a joke? I know, that this could be a really stupid question but I really want to believe that it is out, but give me just the truth.

No, it is not out.
And yes, that was a stupid question.

Hey, you asked for the truth.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa

I do love a good jolt of sarcasm in the morning

 

[sorry user name taken.]

i hope he doesn't get into trouble lol

Chapeau for this brilliant episode! I couldn't imagine how one about DNF would be like, but reviewing a game that never hit the light of existance is just genius! There can only be one long-time-in-development-and-still/thus-great media per decade, and, sorry to all Duke fans, Chinese Democracy came first

That's one way of getting around the "no decent games worthy of my attention" conundrum. Kudos, sir.

 

[KingKamor]

Oh, you.

 

[The Brian J]

This might be one of the funniest reviews that Yahtzee has done. So brilliant, so clever, so hilarious.

 

[Ghost]

HAHAHAH oh wow best review ever. i thought it had finally been released when i saw the title to be honest.. (also am i sad if i noticed Hendrix had an SG instead of a Strat?)

 

[jzmn]

It took me a while to click, I am ashamed to say,

 

[Kdude]

Anyone else ever notice that the initials for "Duke Nukem Forever" also mean "Did Not Finish"?
