Took longer to DL and Install (at 1.1mb/sec average) than it did to finish. o_O
The rolling game play videos make it look like the best game ever. EVER.
Carry 2 weapons max, sub-weapon slot for pipebombs. No "infinite ammo basic weapon".

Disappointed in the game so far.
It's out there. In the wild. Getting shit reviews and making "the faithful" go "WTF?!?"
Autosave Checkpoints. And no other save functions that I've seen.
Autosave so shitty that I had a friend streaming gameplay to a few of us (he had the EU release) over the weekend... Game crashed and when he restarted and reloaded the last autosave it had lost ALL of his acquired Ego Boosts (HP+ stuff) that he had done to that point.
Want weapons? Fine. Pick 2. Oh, and if you ever drop the Golden Pistol kiss an achievement goodbye.
Oh yeah... mouse sensitivity? Make sure your mouse lets you configure that outside the game. Duke corners like he's in a supermarket shopping cart with 2 bum wheels.
What I want to know is what all Gearbox did to "fix it"? Did they make the end product worse, or was the game even more shit than this to begin with?

Since it didn't cure cancer I think they're lucky to get a 50% positive review rating.
Given some of the bugs I've seen people bitching about... very lucky.
Also, it seems if you try to take the game seriously, you're going to hate it. I've seen it called the "Napolean Dynamite of FPS - You either love it, or you fucking hate it."
I've seen good reviews from people who don't take the game any more seriously than it takes itself, and who realize the development of the game's sordid past weren't going to lead to FPS revolution.
Apparently once it comes down to about $20, it'll be about right.

Duke3D was all about killing aliens/your friends, and spewing one liners. Game delivers. Skaw fucked around with this message on 06-16-2011 at 03:00 AM.

But yeah.... Duke is still Duke.
