Hey, I have Gears of War 3 in my sights (really bad term to use right now in the US due to Congresswoman Gabby Giffords being shot in the head). I own both Gears of War and Gears of War 2. Needless to say, I was displeased with Gears of War 2 and once the hype train for Gears 3 starts, I will be that dumb hobo in the middle of the tracks trying to stop it. Well, more futile than "dumb."

Series like Gran Turismo and Halo are extremely hard to troll because the past games have set the bar in great racing or FPS fundamentals. Now, Call of Duty 2k"fill in the year" is almost too easy to troll as anyone who is not a fan of it will not defend it with all their wit.

My previous answer was a knee-jerk reaction. Thank you for not quoting it :)

Oh well, I guess I'm quite lucky it won't hit me so much, as I'm not anymore as much a fan of the genre as in the past, but Black Ops looks like it will become so huge to seriously hurt anybody wishing to hype any other FPS. But despite marginally hit by BO's overwhelming presence, I already fear hype and high expectations will make me at least partially disappointed by Duke Nukem Forever, and this pisses me off a lot...

Duke Nukem Forever has been waited for so long the expectations will be like Mt. Everest to meet. I am intrigued by the game myself as it was one of the first FPS games after Doom, which I played and loved when I was younger.

If we think Gran Turismo 5 had high expectations, both of us will be surprised by the anticipation and reaction for Duke Nukem Forever. As for getting pissed about it, I don't know what to say except just consider it has been announced by PC Gamer and many video game mags way back in the early 2000s. We have been waiting on this forever therefore there will be some disappointment even if it meets all expectations.
