Metacritic 49 ...soon it is going in the top 50 worst games ever.

Which is ridiculous because it is clearly not that bad.  These reviewers are going to far now.  See, this just shows how unbelievably childish our review system can be, and subsequently explains why no real gamer should let reviews tell them exactly what to play.  You will miss fun games in the shuffle. 

IGN attacked Duke for being somewhat childish and for not progressing much from the base humor and crudeness that was in the original.  F*CKING REALLY?  That's the whole damn point of Duke Nukem. 

Reviewers shoud take a lot of flak for this b.s.


I think I am done with any review site ever again.  I might watch a video of the game-play or whatever but I won't read any more reviews from the likes of IGN, 1up, etc..  Most of them died because of diminishing video game magazine sales while others just went online.  I wouldn't mind if they all went out of business.  I just realized 1up is apart of EGM.  I used to get a free subscription to EGM for awhile.  It got so bad that I eventually sent them hate emails telling them to cancel my free subscription because their magazine sucked so bad.  I let them know that Seanbaby was the only part of the magazine that was any good and I can't wait till they go out of business.  Does EGM still produce a magazine or are they just digital now?

Looking at the 2-weapons-regenertaing health combo in DNF, the developers got the same treatment.

Just looking at the scoring mechanism and they effectively score out of 9 so an F would equate to a 1 out of 9 still totally bollocks but I guess not quite a Zero, F- would of been Zero.

Duke never should have went that route.  I don't think it deserves such low scores but incorporating CoD system ruins it for me at least.  You should be able to hold all the guns and have to pick up health packs, drink toilet water, etc to heal.

Why does metacritic translate F as 0? Couldn't F technically be a anything from 1-5 out of 10?

You're asking too much from our immature game journalists and this whole system.

Well, this is something I didn't expect to see. Out of John St. John's (Duke) two recent games - the one that comes off feeling like it's trying to be Duke Nukem (Conduit 2 - 64 metacritic) is better than the actual Duke Nukem Forever (49-58 metacritic).

Despite the fanboys, some franchises are best left dead.


I thought Serious Sam was trying to be Duke Nukem.....

I tried it for about an hour and I can't say I wanna go back.

Do you think it deserves a F or a D?   Did the controls suck?  How bad could the graphics possibly be? Did you play Duke Nukem 3D?  If you did I assume it was a lot worse?

I can't say that I played FPS's in the 90s, but I didn't think the shooting mechanics are upto today's standards.

My pc can just run Batman Arkham Asylum on max settings where it looks better than on my ps3. Knowing this it pisses me off that other pc games are so badly optimized. My pc might just be getting old but I had to play DNF on low settings and I was still getting a headache, meaning the framerate sucked.

 

Since I'm not gonna play it any further (even if I got a new pc) it deserves an F from me meaning insufficient. Don't listen to me though :)
