Zero Punctuation: Duke Nukem Forever

[IamQ]

That was satire at it's best. I realised he was kidding when
A. He even mentioned Duke Nukem at all given the project was cancelled
B. When he started being waaaaaayyy to enthusiastic for regular Yahtzee standards.

And when he didn't mention that it exceeded Portal.

I think it was worth taking the time to piss on Duke's grave.

DEFINITELY! Seriously, I'm amazed anyone was expecting 3D realms to deliver on its promises after the 5th year, let alone the 12th!.

 

[Azhrarn-101]

Enjoyed the joke review, almost made me wish it would come out for real so Yahtzee could compare it to his "perfect" imaginary copy. =D

 

[The Great JT]

Duke Nukem exists?

I mean, I noticed a long while ago the initials for Duke Nukem Forever are DNF, the same as "DID NOT FINISH." Or maybe it stands for Dancing Near Swedes, or Do Not Fuck-up, or maybe even Damn Near Fat.

I never commentec on a ZP topic but this was absolute gold, he's recovering again.

 

[Doug]

How'd he play the game if it wasn't released OMGZ h4x0rz

Are you calling DNF a horrible, horrible game that would've been forgotten so fast it would spin over Gamestop few times before landing in a trashcan and it should never, ever consume 12 million dollars on God only knows what?

...where was I going with that? I dunno. Point is... I don't know. Let me edit it later.


OH WAIT NO!

How come they are suing for only 20 million dollars? It's still barely more (when you think about it and how much more was a $ worth 10 years ago) than 3D wasted.

They figure they have a realistic chance to get that much money back from the waste zone of 3D realms. 12 million dollars worth of porn doesn't sell all that well.

 

[SYSTEM-J]

Terrible review. He's really jumped the shark on this one. He doesn't even describe the gameplay at all, he's too busy making stupid, unfunny jokes and long, pointless tangents about monkeys. If you compare this to one of his earlier reviews you'll see that it's NOTHING like his old style. Yahtzee has really sold out and*CUT*

Maybe now, idiots will stop lambasting him for not doing "proper reviews".

 

[jimduckie]

great review ,still yahtzee saved me money again for everyone say it nice and loud MORE BEER WOHOO cause everyone knows more beer is a great thing

 

[Chipperz]

I have to say, I think this is the best ZP Review I've ever seen. Yahtzee, you still got it!

Is anyone else having problems with the mecha-unicorn king at the end of act two? Gamefaqs say to hold down both ear buttons and headbutt it, but that might just be on the Toaster version...

 

[Triple G]

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.

 

[PG]

Quite simply the best review in a long time. ZP'd been dithering a bit, although shitty games don't pose much challenge to be best ripped the shit out of.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

I'm very very confused.

You are not alone.

Joke review. I.e. What alternative universe Yahtzee reviewed vs what our reality got, heh.

Yeah I picked up that it was a joke review but I guess what really confused me was a lack of clear statement as to when the joke part ended ^^

There are no stupid questions, but there is such a thing as asking the wrong people. 8 seconds on Google would probably eliminate any ignorance you have on this subject.

 

[Swaki]

brilliant, and i most say im extra impressed because even though it was a review of a game that doesn't exist at least you made a video, which is more than unskipable mastered, even though it was hilarious i take this as his final nail in his reviewer coffin, many of the others where reviewing 2 year old games that dindt sell well just to tell us not to buy it.

but wtf right, he wasn't hired for his skills as a reviewer nor dos anyone actually espect this of him, hes a comedian whos work is all about videogames.

 

[beemoh]

Pretty funny, I doubt anyone saw Duke Nukem Forever coming did they?

Nope.

And I didn't expect Yahtzee to review it, either. ZING!

Dancing Near Swedes??? dns??

I've been up dealing with power outages and work and etc since this time yesterday. Really glad I took the time to watch this one, just have to rewatch it later since my brain decided to go on holiday midway through
