Huge expectations, long development cycle, more than too human, massive hype. And we get this BS of a game. Nostalgia is not worth 60 bucks, anyone who pays 60 bucks for this game makes me sick. I dont know what other game could fail soo much like this did, just the amount of time it took. And im suprised it went to gearbox, sure they made borderlands, but still, it shoulda went to a more reputable company for not releasing bs products.
No one, not even me, had extremely expectations for it.

thats after the DEMO and everyone realizing how crap it was, before that and as far as many people who dont follow games know, its the return of the original. Hell DN3D was the first FPS i ever played when i was a kid.
I like the game, I think it's fun. I think it failed on the review side because people expected the next coming of jesus because it took 12 years, I just expected another duke game.
The development cycle hurt the game, it didn't help it. You can tell this game is running on an engine from the mid 2000s, and a lot of the animations are from the released footage back when 3D Realms went under. If you followed the history it changed engines frequently and lacked from solid direction. The game does feel lifeless.
I'm a huge Duke Nukem fan, and yeah, this is a disappointment. But I'm happy I supported the future of the franchise (or maybe I'm in denial, perhaps). This isn't Gearbox, by the way. This is a 3D Realms game so don't go and trash the wrong company. I feel like a broken record, but I'll say it again: If Gearbox gets a chance to make their own Duke game I bet it'll be awesome.
I say yes. Never has a game been so highly anticipated for so long and when it finally gets released, it scores worse then 95% of all games that are released. Duke Nuken=fail lol
I'm pretty sure it wasn't in development for 10+ years. More legal limbo than development.DroidPhysX
Yeah. I'm sure it was more like six months of development, everything to the trash. Two years of limbo. Another six months of development, everything to the trash. More years of limbo, and so on..........until Gearbox delivered this trash.
considering gt5 got a decent score, is selling gorgeously well, and no where near the dev time that dnf had, no...just no.. in fact no where near close as biggest failure in gaming. i would nominate games like
DNF
Too Human
FF14
and im sure there are a few more with such high calibur fail
