Gamespot gives the PC version a score of 3.5 "If you still hold any stake in their reviews..."

I personally loved it, the gunplay, the lines, the satisfying boss fights and the puzzles.
I really can't see why this game is getting such a kicking, they should just fix some glaring issues (which I have seen mentioned here) with a patch or two then were good to go.

The review sounds like it was written by someone that deliberately wanted to dislike the game. I've beaten FPSes that are genuinely awful (Daikatana, Alpha Prime), and DNF is nowhere near as bad as they are. Definitely not 3.0 material.

I guess Gearbox refused to pay them for their review and this is what happens.

I'm thinking that, personally. Paving the way for Modern Warfare 3 to get a 9.5.

I've actually seen women like DNF. It's fun reading a DNF thread on a forum where there's a bunch of self-righteous wannabe feminist guys circlejerking over how the Hive has set back women's rights 10 years and how it'll make nobody take video games seriously because it makes them all look extremely sexist. A woman chimes in and says that DNF isn't offensive to her, but they completely ignore her and go right back to circle-jerking.

Did they refer to Duke's voice?

This is the only bit where the unactractive quality of the women in DNF is mentioned, but don't let that get in the way of judging a reviewer's validity based on his sexual orientation.

Same here. I chuckled when saw that on mainpage, Yatta listed only the 100% positive reviews from various magazines/sites. Classy.

Who ever makes fun of John Saint John is not reviewing the game anymore, he is just bashing the game for the sake of putting it down the best way he can.
If this game is truly a piece of shit, then John Saint John is the diamond from the middle of the shit.
When somebody swallows diamonds and takes a nasty dump you can find the Diamonds in the middle of the shit! For diamonds you will dig through shit just to get them and wash them because after washing them they will never smell and they will always shine and be extremely valuable.
Whoever made fun of John Saint John in his review, is lower than a piece of shit, he is just a dried cumstain...

Edit: I didn't think it was worth the wait. Now that they have our cash they should release the 2001-2002 build, editor and all its assets for fan modding purposes. Lets petition them for it!!!!
I watched the 2001 E3 trailer for the umpteenth time and its still the best game ever (the version we got was definetly not the best game of all time). So what if the 2001 build doesn't work on modern computers. People can just run XP. Gearbox have these assets/builds. They will be trying to sell these at somepoint in some sort of DNF museum with only one or two levels playable. I think we've paid/waited enough. We want OUR game, we paid for DNF and 2001-2002 build is DNF. They can keep the other builds and that's a comprimise. Come on lets demand it, after all we've all paid for it!

They complain about the game being linear, what did they expect? Grand Theft Auto: Duke Nukem? and as far as the graphics, it shits on pretty much all the call of duty games they recycle each year, noone seems to
rip on them for their graphics.
Its like people who go to see an action movie, and pick out all its flaws and expect it to challenge them intellectually and then give it a bad review because it failed to do so, when they missed the point of the movie entirely.

Im hoping though that community gets the modding tools for current build. Im sure that people would be able to do amazing things with them. If community wount get the modding tools, then... oh well... we just need to go on with our lives

Unfortunatly as much as I hate to say it, I agree with thier review. The game looks bad, plays almost nothing like what was promised, and is glicthy and buggy as hell I do not want to be saying this, but it's true. *eyes well up*
Also guns sound far to weak and many features previewed didn't make it, and animations are TERRIBLE! WHY GOD WHY!??
They shouldn't NEED to patch the game. It had a extra year of work after 3DR fired almost everyone and a LOT of talented help from different companies, PLUS an extra month of work, bugs should be almost non-exsitet but no, the whole game's FULL of them.

The game seems to be more in-love with showing how awesome and edgy the title character is than being an action game which incidentally has an over the top main character like 3D did.

No and no! Do you think we would whine? Why would we, the game was/still can be a half life beater. Although i did enjoy DNF, it wasn't really what I'd hoped for all these years ie what we were promised.

I didn't like some of his lines/delivery. He said in a recent interview that he was told when recording DN3D to talk through gritted teeth as if he was having a shit. This was Duke. The original and best Duke. When recording for the new game he was told to put himself into the character, although he is a great guy, John St. John is no Duke Nukem personality wise. I wonder why they wanted to dilute Duke's personality.
I've been biting my tongue about this game since release but I've been brewing up a shit storm about it in my mind. It's Duke, but only just. So much more i want to say about it but now is not the time. Im trading in my copy while I'll still get a good price, then buying it again when its cheap.
BTW I love the MP!

The game was supposed to come out April 1st 2010.
Yeah i agree there isnt as much action in it. The game was cut to fuck, gearbox should have finished the levels and took and extra year or so to make it better. Like make it slightly faster, by about 15%, proper gore as George promised and just recently i saw a pre release interview with a guy from Gearbox and he stated there was an area 51 level in the game. Randy stated several times that there would not be anything cut out of the game level wise and released later as DLC. I don't want to slag Randy off or call him names but FFS do you think we forget things about this game Randy? No we fucking don't so you had better go about fixing this game ASAP or the few Duke fans that are left are going to jump ship. Bring back our Duke, your re-envisioned Duke just isn't up to scratch. You should have employed George to tell your guys what to fix and what to leave the fuck alone. For example, George wouldn't have had women writing Duke's lines.
Jace Hall stated in 08 when he played it for an hour or so that it was Duke, well that was before any voice had been recorded. This new Duke doesn't make me laugh much, doesn't wow me with how awesome he is much. In fact... *bites tongue*. Ill let the world know what happened in 09 if you don't fix this. Stop pretending.

Everytime i read the "so called" reviews they just piss me off how fucking dumbasses they can be.
