Still waiting my friend.MiracleOfSound said:Still waiting? The game's been out 3 daysArt Axiv said:I'm still waiting for your DNF song... Come on, I'm your fan from the days when you posted that COD song!
Speaking of the game, I enjoyed it until I had to drive. Why? Why driving of all things? Why can't I grope those titties, why can't I ...
I think I should stop here.
Hey, it's the UK, whenever a FIFA comes out it dominates the charts for months on end even though it's just a roster update from last year's game. I don't think the average British gamer has great taste. =p

Well now,I certainly didn't expect this to happen.
But,what can you do when you were hyped up for 14 years for this game and now that it is finally released,people still defend it even if it's not what they expected to be(a Duke 3D'-like game with healthpacks and carrying all weapons with 2011 graphics).
I could give the same example with Call of Duty franchise.Barely anything has changed(save for a few weapons)for the past 3 games.The rest is just the same with different guns.And yet people pay for it,including myself which bought Black Ops and enjoyed it for a couple of months in multiplayer.

Seriously? How is it the reviewers fault that the general public has low standards? Reviewers looked over the game as objectively as possible and then graded it. I'm sorry that they are better at critiquing a game and finding its flaws than the average consumer. You hate them? Guess what? Most got into the profession to help ungrateful consumers like you.Triforceformer said:
In short a lot people in the UK waited for 12 years and decided they really needed to lose 60+ dollars.
@Op I'm sorry that so many people are bashing you for your thread, as I understand you perfectly.
Reviewers are there because they are supposed to say yay or nay for good or bad games, while some disagree, most of the time, if a game really are bad, the scores tends to show for it.
And on the same note reviewers are there to stop us from buying horrid games, they are there to put into contrast what I read of the box in my local store.
It hitting top seller in the UK kind of shows how pointless reviews are, and most of the time I don't agree with reviewers anyway, just as with movie critics, I can't relate to most of them, many of the "professional" reviewers has some form of degree relating to movies, and what they know may be all well and good, but they think too hard about small things that they fail to see the big picture and just nitpick it to death.
But, I digress, I pre-ordered Duke Nukem, and no matter what the critics have to say, I had 20 hours of fun, and I'm not quite fed up with multiplayer, thats more than what could be said for some other triple A releases (I'm looking at you witcher 2)

Forgive me, but are you saying that not liking a game means we aren?t ?manly men??VikingSteve said:
But liking throwing turds around, objectifying women, seeing them tortured, and then outright killing them makes us men? I?m sorry, what?
Further, not everyone who has a different opinion then you is wrong. Saying ?I like the game. I don?t know why others don?t like it, but I respect them? is fine. However, saying that we do not possess testacies is downright juvenile and is something I would expect out of a 14 year old child.
