Re: Duke Nukem Forever

Since I'm not completely cynical and pretentious I actually enjoyed it



"Three tits, awesome"

Also, I think I enjoyed it even more since IGN gave it a bad review for making fun of Halo.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Halo as well. I guess I just didn't enjoy it enough to get pissed at harmless jokes at it's expense.

CD if you had played the earlier DN games you'd realize why a lot of those DNF jokes come across as cringeworthy

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

You know, there is a good reason why nobody should trust IGN or Gamespot or etc., and that's because they usually give higher scores to more well known game studios or game series. If you search up 'Mario' at IGN, you'll see that the lowest average score is around a 7 for Mario Party or Mario Bros., with the overall average being around an 8.8 (not to mention bigger games like Super Mario 64, which they gave a 9.8).

Point being, IGN will give high scores to boring games that have been copy and pasted with a graphic update (such as Mario or LoZ), and give lower scores to games with innovation (like Brink, which I've heard from everybody who owns it/has played it that it is amazing).

I'm not saying IGN was wrong, but I do think they may have given DNF a higher score ONLY because it is a DN game. I can't say the older DN games are good or DNF is bad because I haven't played any DN game, but from what I've heard, DNF is just an awful game that probably shouldn't have released in the first place.

Well anybody who goes to IGN is stupid anyway

It's more like, anyone who agrees with IGN (no matter what they say) is stupid. IGN had a walkthrough for all the emblem locations in RE5, so that was helpful. But their reviews are quite unfair to the smaller companies or innovative minds.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

The dialogue is so annoying and unnecessary. Nothing funny or badass about duke in this game whatsoever. Like rubix said, any rating above 5 is purely out of nostalgic value.

They didn't give Ocarina of Time 3D a 10/10 for very picky things. One of them were that the stairs weren't graphically updated like the rest of the game.

EDIT: Just so you guys don't think I'm joking:

"More awkward examples of this [not everything being graphically updated] come in the form of stairs and open fields, where the blocky nature of the ground combined with more detailed textures makes it painfully obvious you're running up a sparse, flat surface."

I could care less that the stairs look the same.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

It shouldn't have gotten a 10/10 anyway

Brink is probably one of the worst games I've played in the last five years.

I'm not saying it's amazing (but I'm not saying it's bad), I'm just saying that everybody that I know that has played it (and even some people that I don't know) say that it is a very great game with good innovation.

You're the first (real) person to say it's a bad game. Congratulations!
Also, we're getting off topic here.
