I just bought this game thinking I'd give it a chance, knowing not to expect a polished title like the Modern Warfare iterations of Call of Duty... but after reading the review and your comment, how could they get that so so wrong? Exploring the maps was half the fun, but if they just made them all be linear successions of duck and cover / shoot from chest-high walls... no thanks. Duke was all about taking bullets to the face till you were almost a bloody pulp and then drinking your health back to 100% from a fire hydrant that you busted open with a rocket launcher.

Thankfully, I still have my receipt and will probably return it this afternoon. I'll get the PC demo or borrow it from a friend in the future.




You just bought it and you aren't even going to play it?

But why?


I was on the fence about it for awhile before reading the review, but this morning I decided to pick it up due to a tight schedule during the day(had to get there just as the store opened before work) and fear of the game being sold out if I wanted to play it. It's not the most sound logic, I will admit :)
