$10 says that the user reviews on meta critic scores higher than Dragon Age 2. At least Duke is honest with us.

Torrented it. At the beginning it was really fun (especially the part when you can take turd in your hand and throw it :D). Some really funny jokes, etc and quite impressive interaction.
But then I suddenly got bored by boring shooting and blendish world. Uninstalled it. I think I just watch a compilation of funny stuff in this game on YT (for what I've seen - it's worth it). It will save me couple hours of boredom.

Alright, I got to spend a couple of evenings playing through this. It's as bad as you guys make it, and more.

It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Anything in-game that even looks like it could be cool, soon deteriorates into shit. I felt like launching into a long rant about how bad and disappointing this game is, but in the end I just couldn't bother with it. When you need to do a QTE to unscrew a fucking BOLT from a VENTILATION GRATE, you're officially a menace to the gaming industry.

This game has beaten Daikatana off its perch as Most Overrated Piece of Shit Game. I'm actually surprised it took the gaming industry 12 YEARS to do that.

Hmmmmmmm....got my next game in from Gamefly. I open it up...

Duke Nukem Forever.

Ok, so they skipped Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner*, Risen, Devil May Cry 2, Final Fight PS2, The Bouncer, Fallout: New Faggot, and Shadow of the Colossus to send me a new game. And it's this one. It can't be that bad....right? Trip report in a day or two, I guess. The Codex can at least enjoy my suffering...

*Why the fuck can't I find this shit for a reasonable price (no, $70 "acceptable" condition on Amazon is not reasonable)? I might have to break policy....

There was a decent part in the game where there were no gimmicks, no "humor" and just run-n-gun.
Rest was shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Zedspot gives it 2/10.

That's the problem with a lot of today's 'FPS' games: they waste 70% of the game on stupid puzzles, vehicles, and quicktime events and not... you know... shooting things. Hopefully Serious Sam 3 breaks from that trend.

I feel bad because at my local independent video game store they had brand new Devil Summoner, Nocturne, and I had to choose Digital Devil Saga. Fuck. Oh well, I am kinda burned out of SMT anyway after I played 4 of them or so.

You wanna this thing here-ho? We dont wanna it, hee-ho. In fact, we hate it, that's why we print like 100 copies of each game-ho!

A fairly good review of the game, and with someone that speaks decently, too.

Edit: He even mentions the decline of gaming in the end.

I closed the window as soon as I saw it was that Total Biscuit moron. Sorry, can't stand him.

That's a shame, because he gives some very well-articulated criticism of the game, the current genre direction and the industry as a whole.

What's your issue with the guy, has he derped about something in a massive manner?
