this game once it finally comes out has got to bet to be better that Jesus and cure at least the common cold for Christs sake
I'm completely amazed at the stupidity of some people who posted in this thread... THE GAME ISN'T OUT YET! THE WHOLE REVIEW WAS A SHAM! A very good, funny as hell, done-in-a-perfectly-sarcastic-voice-the-entire-show hoax, but a sham none the less. Now, please read carefully. This game franchise has sucked, does suck, and will suck... Forever! Which is ironically the length of production for this game.
I'm going to miss that character though, thats the only reason anyone really would have bought it, nostalgia or because they genuinly enjoyed Duke as a character.Shapsters said:
I think publishers are sometimes like the Fox Network and people like its audience. Instead of funding excellent shows like Arrested Development or Firefly they spend money on crap like (don't know any shows, only show i watch on that channel is The Simpsons).
Duke Nukem Forever is almost like an example of the infinite monkey theory. If you put an infinite amount of monkeys in front of an infinite number of typewriters and give them an infinite amount of time they will eventually make Shakespeare. But sadly I dont think they had enough monkeys/computers/time.
It pisses me off because publishers wasted millions of dollars on this game when they could have spent that money on funding great games like Psychonauts,Braid etc.Games like Assassin's creed give me hope because it was a huge risk and it paid off. Hopefully publishers will learn a lesson from it.

Never got into the Duke Nukem series, guess that's a good thing. Great satire, I loved the occasional hint of a rant that would pop up, especially when talking about the screenshots. Very Colbert-like. I hope he does more, unexpected stuff like that.
as a huge fan of Duke Nukem i found that review kinda... insulting? i don't know, this is the first time that any of Yahtzee's reviews have ever touched on a game that was particularly close to home.
Call me a fool but i was genuinely hurt when 3Drealms closed and IMO it sucks that I'll never get to play the sequel I've been waiting for MORE THAN HALF MY FUCKING LIFE.
PS. 3Drealms was self funding DNF for the last decade. Take2 didn't give 3Drealms a cent and therefore it is stupid as hell that Take2 would try to sue them for it.

Wow, that was... different! Props for doing something so odd this time around, even for ZP's standards!
Since I never had a decent computer in the mid 90's, I never knew much about Duke Nukem to begin with, but that's a really great point made about our industry that a developer could spend twelve years on a game and never show anything for it, while brilliant independent gamers are being snubbed. Executive meddling ruins everything!
Still, it's a shame that DNF probably will never come out. After all of its development time, we should have expected something absolutely astonishing... anything below that would be considered a betrayal of trust. Now that the project is halted, it's more of a kick in the balls than a simple betrayal of trust.

BEST REVIEW EVER.
And I was particularly impressed by the fact that he used a PS3 controller but got achievements for his 360. You know, that should be an achievement on the 360. Beat a game with a sony controller.

Yahzee wouldn't appologise. He'd just make another video actually reviewing it and justifyhis previous video by saying something about them deserving it for taking 12+ years.
Yeah I had no idea what we was talking about until I read some of these comments. He had me there, wait.....the game is already out????? Just hope one day it will come out.
this was one of his funnies ones in a long time ^^
but i wonder!
that picture next to President Obama, what/where was that from?

Final proof, if you actually need any, that Yahtzee is NOT a serious reviewer, he's a comedian- and a FUCKING good one too! I love it!
I'm pretty sure that was the poster from 'Pan's Labyrinth', apparently his idea of a more intelligent, mature modern movie. He's right, but it was a surprising choice.Dessembrae said:
