I don't know man, the game may be considered mediocre overall. But usually that means it has multiple huge flaws nontheless.
And there are a ton of flaws that can ruin the entire experience for me.
You named Dragon Age 2, look at the recycling of areas. That alone is one huge ass flaw that I couldn't tolerate.
Edit: Oh and also, a lot games have great studios behind them or are a sequel to a fairly well received game.
Of course it's disappointing to the fans if a title turns out to be only mediocre then. Also those titles often don't cost less than high quality games either...
I'd be glad if reviewers gave out much more 0/5 and 5/5 reviews. As in 5/5 the game is really damn good and we highly recommend it and 0/5 the game is fucking garbage, such as DNF. Who cares if there are games that are even worse than DNF? About 1% of those even gets tested at all, and then you can give that one a 0/5 too.
After a moment's consideration: Who cares? Blizzard forced people to use their own service, and nobody complained then.
Yes they did, and still do I won't get into "What will another digital download source hurt" because I already have, so I'll simply say it will and leave it at that
Why does none complain? Because they don't have their "own service".
You start the game and you log into BNet if you want to play multiplayer (or Singleplayer with achievements and the rest of being online advantage). You do not start a "BNet-client" then choose your game there and go ahead.,
BNet ist an online system integrated into games. Steam and Origin are online systems that integrate games into their service.
You never ever install BNet or anything. You do install Steam and Origin.
If you don't see the difference then you're frigging blind.
I feel like this is going to be one of my last years for COD. It's a cycle of me buying it, liking it for a month, then seeing just how broken the fucking game is.
What's wrong with a lot and why almost 90% of the whiners are hypocrites in a nutshell!
"MImimi the game will most likely suck and be bad and I hate it and everything but of course I buy it because of uh and euh uh, it's of course the last one!"
i got tired of his jokes really fast, all the christian bale, halo, vale/portal and so on one of jokes was just to much
Well there's that one huge problem with all those easter eggs and remarks. DNF is a very, very bad game. And when something that shitty makes jokes about other stuff I can't really laugh about it. "Hey the game I play is really darn bad, but I guess I can laugh about the shitty jokes it throws at other titles... nah not really."
Also: This review is based on a final retail copy of Duke Nukem Forever for Xbox 360 provided by 2K Games.
360 version = don't pay any attention to this review.
Prime example for why this game is going to sell very, very well.
Fanboyism, nostalgia and denial.
EVERY piece of media you can find about this game shows how crappy it is. And the game doesn't even stay true to the old Duke Nukem at all, take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q86vWgaLuwE&feature=feedu (guess I cant link correctly as new member :>)
But then again it's pretty cool to be part of the legacy I guess, oh and of course getting ripped of by Gearbox and co. duo to that weakness. "Yes children, this is the legendary Duke Nukem Forever, it took forever to forge this piece, I'm so proud to be a part of it... ah fuck goddamn it, why did I fall for this crap."
