Shitty Games Month - Duke Nukem Series
#1 Posted 11 April 2013 - 03:23 PM
So, what did you guys think of this (rather long) take on the series?
I found it to be just empty nagging and grumbling with no real thesis or argument. Some of the criticisms are hypocritical (Duke's running speed in 3D being too fast, yet him holding Doom on a pedestal throughout with no explanation), and his choice of games are also a little peculiar. He reviews Duke Nukem for the Game Boy Color in place of the original Duke Nukem II and he chooses to include Duke Advance for some reason as well. The way the video follows is: Duke Nukem -> Duke Nukem GBC -> Duke Nukem 3D -> Duke Nukem Advance -> Duke Nukem Forever.

The only reason i dont call this guy a tool, is because tools are useful.
So if by any chance he stumbles upon this post let me say thus:

Here's a better video from someone who doesn't act like a assblasted pissant who knows nothing of the subject matters he is discussing.
LGR is pretty great all in all.

Those probably annoyed me more though, because you type in Unreal review and his 2 are literally the first ones to come up. His STALKER stuff is harder to find though

LGR is The Man. I wish he'd still come around these parts. Phreakindee, da bomb.

He was referring to me about the 'incorrect development facts'. I told him that playing through Duke Nukem for the GBC in place of the original Duke Nukem II was misleading, due to it being de facto a radically different game in virtually every way, although de jure it is considered a port. He later deleted my comments and blocked me.
I honestly wouldn't have minded the guy too much, if it weren't for the fact that he writes off every Duke fan and counter-argument as driven solely by nostalgia and/or fanboyism, as if genuinely liking the series is impossible or makes you a cretin.

What that nit-picking video doesn't realize, is that without Duke 3D, none of today's generation's rush-job FPS's or any of them, wouldn't exist as they do now.
The gaming community owes a LOT to the series, and they all know it. Duke 3D truly is forgotten classic.
Sorry for the long rant, but that video is just not correct, Duke Nukem, is NOT the shittiest series.

But fuck the man who is going to try to diss on DN3D.
Especially one this ignorant and is so far up his own ass, he can wear it as a suit.

Now, I guess I won't lose anything about downvote the video and blocked him. And he don't even bother at all.

looks more like a lets play with his personal opinion, with no comparison, no analysis, no exposition. Just him complaining. Some people want to become reviewers but clearly they don't know what's needed for a review to actually be a review.
Didn't watch more, waste of time.
I'll go for Any LGR video anytime instead of this guy.

I could not work out if this guy was trying to be a troll to get more people to watch his video, but unlike IGSRJ we know that he takes the piss out of games.
Still it is funny to read the comments of IGSRJ videos and see how many people think he is so serious.

I don't think many people actually think IGSRJ is serious. They find him annoying either way.
