Zero Punctuation: Duke Nukem Forever
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
I know very little about the Duke Nukem series, so for the first few minutes I wasn't sure how serious Yahtzee was being =P
Oookay this review had an amazing effect on me in that I went and read the 10 pages of comments before even considering posting and picked up some interesting things:
I was totally taken in, even though I wasn't on the edge of my seat over the release. The thing was the range of gameplay types he mentioned made me think- well if it can do that of course Yahtzee will like it. Then as more stuff started piling up I started getting confused until the end.
Honestly people who say that Yahtzee has lost his touch don't understand how his kind of humour works. I think it's a symptom of the generation where everyone wants it all new and once it isn't cutting edge anymore they move on. As the man himself more or less said during the GoW 2 review sometimes mainstream stuff is popular because it's good (this from and avowedly non-mainstream person)
If DNF ever came into existence and was on the PC (I don't play on microwave, never got the right feel for the controls) it would have to jump some fucking hurdles to live up to the vision Yahtzee has created. Why doesn't someone go and borrow the Doom 3 code and all us ZP fans can contribute to creating it as it should be?
Awww baby sad because he got his chain yanked by Mr Croshaw? Obviously a case of the fanboy here.Sparrow Tag said:

Fanboy of Duke Nukem? Good lord, I'm a fan of one game and one game only. And it ain't Duke Nukem. I've never even played it.wolfshrimp said:
And just because I insulted something that your a fanboy of, don't take it out on me. It simple leads to a flamewar, as is with all you Yahtzee fanboys.
