Free games are free games man. If you're not putting down any money for it, it's hard to complain.

I think everyone should play this game. 

If you get it for free what is the harm in playing it? The worst that happens is you don't like it, but hey at least it didn't cost anything

Is 'getting for free' code for pirating, or is this hypothetical? Also, anything I got for free I would give a shot at playing, even if it were purportedly the most terrible product to ever rape the senses of the end consumer. So yes, if you got it for free, be it by nefarious means or not, give it a shot.

In my opinion yes. I rented it from Redbox. Got 850 achievement points and don't regret one minute. Well except the loading time minutes.

.......I hope you don't mean pirating it... kidding! Sort of.  I say try out the demo first or watch some of the gameplay footage and see if you like it or not. It's not that it's a terrible game, it's just ok.

Ask yourself this: How much do you value your time?

just rent it and quit your bitching. if my pc was up right now ( keep kicking myself ) id be playing witcher II right now neways. now that game looks like a 10...

Free? Sure it's worth a playthrough.

Just because a lot of people think the game is crap and that they would rather spend the time jamming rusted nails into their ears doesn't mean you must also feel that way. I got it today, and I think it is totally fine. Far from the best game ever, but also far from the worst. I am having fun with it, which is what matters. I didn't much care for the demo, but I seem to enjoy the full game more.

'If I got it for free'...really? Poor Duke Nukem Forever, getting it's ass kicked for what seems forever.

Anything free is usually worth a few hours of your time.  Hell, for educational purposes alone it would be worth the price of "free".

It's interesting enough to warrant a playthrough, but there are a lot of factors that will determine whether or not you will enjoy it. One quick note: The gunplay early on feels kind of bad, but it improves in the mid-late game.

Eh... Why not. You didn't buy it so it won't burn you if you don't like it.

Well if you buy it you can say, I paid money for this, im not going to just waste it.

if its Free, and you play it, you just hate yourself.

my gaming time is precious to me.  
 
as i get older i get less and less time to spend playing video games.  
 
so for me, if i got a free copy of DNF it would go straight onto ebay and i would put the money towards a great game as opposed to a game thats 'not too bad'. 

If anyone gifts this to you, you should slap them in the face for giving you such a shitty gift.

I probably wouldn't. I got books to read.

Definitely worth it at free. Besides the "gaming history" aspect, all of the people yammering about "this game is the worst game to ever be a game!" are spouting some pretty farfetched hyperbole.  
 
Besides, if that were true, then it'd still be worth it in the way that everybody should own Big Rigs and Cheetahmen. 

You can get some fun out of it but if there are other games on your list you may want to play them first.
