When I first saw this game I knew it was going to be a bland fantasy game.
Turns out I was right.

Better be kind on Duke Nukem [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/editors_note/8953-Open-Letter-to-Duke-Nukem-PR] Yahtzee, or Redner [http://www.geekosystem.com/duke-nukem-forever-pr-team-threats/] is presumably going to throw poop [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbEKGx_AaxU] at you.
I don't think you needed to apologize to the twats who would expect you to review DNF like a couple days after it came out, especially since the DNF review would be a lot funnier if you hadn't acknowledged it beforehand. If you didn't review DNF next week, maybe you might owe us an explanation, but this week a quick note in the end credits might have sufficed.
Please don't do Duke Nukem Forever; at least not immediately next week.
Please do Duke 3D, and make the Duke fanboys WAIT another week. Make 'em realise that they paid for crap by demonstrating a game released forever ago did it better then, and is still better now.
Make 'em realise spending money on shit is part of the reason we have such a dull, sequel stuff market of space marine filled shooters, and sticking an asshole with a thin veneer of shallow character isn't good; its just demonstrating how disgustingly easy it is to actually be less bad.

Well, truth be told, I feel in this game trap, I expected it to be awesome, and then, WHAM! no exploration whatsoever and every single skill way too early...
Not even the two hot chicks are worth playing this...

Meh. It was okay...it was a fairly generic hack 'n' slash (I never did the cover-based BS, just ran in and did the, y'know...hacking and slashing) that didn't really add or take away anything from its genre.
I can see some of Yahtzee's gripes, but there are worse games he's reviewed that haven't gotten nearly this much of a beating...

Is it me or did he sound really bored while explaining how boring that game was? "Hunted: The Demon's Forge" is probably so god damn mediocre that even ranting about it is boring, apparently.
First "The Bard's Tale" (2004), now this. How could have Brian Fargo sunk this low? It's a travesty.

Not much of funny. It's like kick a dead dog. A budget and brown game using Unreal 3 isn't good... Duke Nukem Forever will be even worse since the others reviwes of the games are already Zero Punctuation like. It's more funny when Yahtzee review a game that people real care, like Deus Ex.
One of my mates is coming over this weekend, we're gonna get a 24 and then hit The CrucibleTwo Angels said:
so its gonna be awesome and much better than RE5 went for us...we got tanked so the end of that night ended with an hour of us spamming "come on, come on" and "ok" for an hour, it drove my fiance nuts.
Yahtzee, I think you hit upon something in your post-review credits. I would play a game that cast you in the role of a treasure-hunter with a side-kick that had to convince the sidekick to assist in poking and prodding pressure plates and the like where the sidekick kept getting mangled by traps. Then you have to do little things to keep them on your side and heal them just enough to keep going. Once in a while I like something that has a sardonic twist.
