Looks mediocre, but I'll be sure to buy it when cheap. As I like a good braindead shooter game as well.

IGN Duke Nukem video preview.

I'm not getting excited about this game until I see it on the shelf. No offense to the people who are super excited about it, I know when it DOES come out, it will be great.

Hey, works for Call of Duty games.

The only real hate I'm seeing is from kids and casual gamers for which the game will be too hard, long and complex for them to play and not a clone of CoD games. I love exploring and finding things.

Regen health sucks big time as it will make it too easy but hopefully the rest of the game is the real Duke and can make up for this slap in the face.

What I'm seeing from fans like myself is cautious optimism and hope. The proof will be in the pudding though. No game can live up to the hype this one has endured.

I don't expect much from this game. However, I will check it out more when it's released; ask any of my friends who own it, watch some gameplay videos, etc. I'll probably get it when it hits the $20 mark.

A true fan would of done everything they can to get First Access Club.

Anyway, as your first statement.. thats exactly what i Got out of the IGN and EuroGamer hands on preview. IGN is all about games that are dumbed down or start with "Call of Duty." As for EuroGamer I've never really cared about their opinions... just more annoying reviewers who if it's not mainstream it's garbage.

Why don't you expect much from the game?

No problem.

I'm definitely excited about the game. I personally have a hard time trusting reviews pre-release for anything really. I'll get it regardless what reviews say. This review is however hands on, and I can say from what they are describing that it seems like it will be the typical (awesome) Duke Nukem game.

Hopefully we can get some new catchy Duke phrases.

I'll try it for sure, but TBH it just looks like a modern day Postal 2 with Duke slapped on.

No it's nothing like Postal. Are you serious?

I didn't mean the gameplay, I meant the other stuff in the game, you know? I'm sure the gameplay will be, well, old fashion FPS type and whatnot.

It wen't away because it's a proven concept the average gamer gets to confused over such a format so the games get dumbed down. Having to search an entire area for clues and items was just to much for gamers, while it was overused in the past.. I think it's time we bring it back. Following a corridor and having my hand held isn't my thing.

Amen, GirlPower!

The obssessive collector in me has always liked this kind of thing, but I really deplore the sometimes relentless trend of dumbing down. Here's to those who haven't forgotten the qualities that some gamers would like to see again.

On another point, the whole dumbing down thing is why I gave up watching TV entirely 9 years ago. A TV is for games, right?
