Thank you for your contribution. You have the right to have a different opinion, but you didn't actually add anything to the discussion.

I don't really feel like I need to explain my reasoning on why DNF is a bad game. Any reasonable human being could tell you that it's an ugly, awkward mess of a game, suffering from a severe case of identity crisis; Between the terrible script, clunky controls, and horrendous loadtimes, it's a game completely devoid of "fun" in any capacity.

Nah, it's pretty fun. It definitely lacks in many of the innovations that have come to us in the FPS genre over the decade-plus DNF spent in development hell, but it's still a goofy Duke Nukem game at it's core. Controls are fine, and loadtimes aren't much of an issue unless you're on console. Terrible script... again, it's Duke fucking Nukem. Not exactly a paradigm intellectual pursuits. If you expect a great story from Duke Nukem, you're already setting yourself up for disappointment.

If you're going into it expecting the next Bioshock or something, even something along the lines of the newer Wolfenstein entries, of course you'll be disappointed. But it's not suffering from any sort of identity crisis. It's a Duke Nukem game, through and through. A Duke Nukem game that sat in development for nearly fifteen years, watching the FPS genre evolve and surpass it's previous entry in every conceivable way, trying to adopt some of those evolutions for better or worse... admittedly mostly for worse. But if you take DNF for what it is and don't expect it to be something it's not and never will be, it's plenty of fun.


Yep. And I don't know what load time people are talking about. It was always a matter of seconds for me. I hate to be one of those guys, but "Maybe you need a less shitty PC?"
