Seriously. Duke Nukem Forever. It might actually come out this time.
In all absolute honesty, who ISN'T going to buy it? I mean, it's Duke Nukem Forever. Even if it sucks, it's the embodiment of many, many gaming jokes and has been "in the making" for 13 years.
I think everybody is gonna buy it, even if it's rated AO.
Neither of your points grants this game a good future.
Duke Nukem Forever has, indeed, been a meme for the past decade or so. But what if the game is not anywehre near special, and just ends up on the pile called: "generic-first-person-shooter"? Like many other FPS that claim to reimburse the concept with many a idea and still look and, most of all, feel the same.
Does being a meme, contribute to the fact that people should buy it? I'm sure there's plenty of people out there, thoroughly enjoying the Meme, but Could not care less about an actual purchase. And the amount that will check out the 'meme of the decade' will buy the game later on, after several discounts been given, or when it's actually in the 'bin' of 2 for 10$. - People who like the Chuck Norris meme do not necessarily have to be fans of his movies/work?
"in the making", well, you know this is not true, but I do like the idea behind it, and think it actually took them this long
Now by no means, think this is a personal attack. Because I am not a fan of the franchise. I Do play FPS though.
OT:
Hm, I am not a hype-follower. And I do not have ever had this feeling that I am missing out on the influence that this game has on many around the globe. So, No I am not planning on dishing out 60$ for this.
