Duke Nukem Forever Feedback Survey: Where Did We Go So wrong?
Highly anticipated for 14 years and becoming the most infamous vapourware ever, Duke Nukem Forever unfortunately was met with widespread derision and ridicule on release in June. Many reviews gave it around 40% or less, accusing it of being a 90s throwback and made in very bad taste. Not everybody hated it though and it has some loyal fans. So, Gearbox, priding itself on listening to its customers, has set up an online feedback survey and wants to honestly, truly know what you think of it (assuming its servers survive the heat of all those flames of course, which isn't guaranteed at all). This is especially important for Gearbox, as it's going to release a sequel and wants to ensure its customers like it (and rather more importantly, buy it).
The survey starts off like this:

Hello,I hope this doesn't mean it ends up watered down and made politically correct. It had some wonderfully politically incorrect humour in it which I would like to see preserved in the sequel.

All drinks and all power-ups were really programmed without any imagination
This game needs much better to do seriously
They thought that people would buy duke nukem just because of the name
It was impressive at that time, not now.
See the concurrents of the game:
Deus-Ex(much better), Deadisland(before this nukem is a joke)
Not to mention other games which crush nukem from begin to end
I put a 3 to this game out of 10. Didn't enjoy anything.
Also, you were very limited to play, meaning only objectives and nothing else
These are just my opinions
EDIT: Forgot about the part he got tiny. That was really without any porpose why he become tiny
The car is a strong dislike. That has nothing to do with a shooter game.
They just wanted to show off some programming skills that is all
Gearbox didn't do any level design or anything else for the game, but it's people like you who step in and just assume Gearbox built most of this game that make a bad name for it. You should research your games before buying them, then you won't be surprised next time you buy one, anyone who did a mild amount of research on DNF knew what to expect. It was everyone else that expected the game to be Game of the Year or something, then those people were so upset.That had me laughing my ass off, lol.
but its a minor difference
2.0 2.5 and 3.0 are all capable of the same level of graphics fidelity each release has just made getting to that graphical level easier.
That's what started the downward slope of disappointment.
either you have the nostalgia but are too old for the humor, or get the humor but don't know or care who duke nukem is.
