Speaking of which, were the ** did my hype thread disappear to?
Know what? ** it, i'm just to lazy to update it. 
Duke flopped anyway, he'll never get a 8.0 here.
Still gonna get it, and enjoy it.

Ironically, I posted about IGN's score in your hype thread around the time this thread went up. This one just got the hits.Well, glad I cancelled my preorder - game sounds awful.Ravensmash
Such a weak character. @ you depending on other peoples opinion, and not having the courage to rely on your own.
And you even post it here, as if its something to be proud of.

No, I just don't feel like dropping £40 on a game that's been getting mediocre (and worse) reviews. I don't solely rely on them, but the reaction from the demo was negative (even from Duke fans on official forum). If it was free or in the bargain bin then maybe I'd be less reluctant to just give it a go, but a 3/10 doesn't exactly inspire me to rush out and pick it up?[QUOTE="Lucianu"]

People are upset that it isn't DN3D in hi-def. Just a bunch of hating on modern games (especially any modern shooter franchise), and bile. The only people being constructive on the official forums are politely asking Gearbox to unlock the dev console and release mod tools.[QUOTE="Lucianu"]

Not to mention that the game's reported technical issues on consoles, despite the game not being anything remotely special technically affects my judgement of the developers.

Why preorder it in the first place? Curiosity? Wanting to have that piece of history, or what. You knew this game would be bashed to hell and back, everybody did.
Just admit the fact that you rely on other people to tell you what's playable, vieweble or pleasent (or whatever), if you might find something that doesn't fit the crowd you'll aswell refuse to try it out on the basis that other people told you so.
I got nothing to do for the next 20 minutes, so i might as well give you life lessons.

Truthfully, the game shouldn't be on consoles at all. The engine was not built for consoles, and it shows.[QUOTE="Ravensmash"]

(why else are you posting on a video game website - it's obvious you read reviews, like the majority of people do here). I made up my own mind not to part with my cash, regardless of whether it was aided by others and their viewpoints. Not exactly the same, but are you telling me you don't acknowledge Big Rigs as a bad game, because the only person not to call it rubbish is you?Ravensmash
Its a good way to kill the boredom, and no one i know is interested in games from my city/hood. Its nice to discuss games..
Its relative, not absolute, things like these can't be.. put in correlation with eachother the same way. With Big Rigs, its universaly criticized. In DNF's case, a good portion of people enjoyed the demo and enjoys the game (check posts in my thread, and in other threads). Its a love/hate situation. That is not the same thing with Big Rigs, so if people enjoyed the game.. who knows if you would have also, regardless.
And look at the PC version, reviewers have given it a 8.0/10. Ain't the same.

Fair point, but you must understand why I became reluctant to get it at launch for £40, when I didn't even get the advertised opportunity of trying a demo on which to base my purchase, coupled with the poor reaction.If I got the demo, and liked it (and i wanted to at least try it), then I'd have carried on with the preorder.
Maybe the demo will come out and I'll enjoy it enough to purchase, but as of now - I'm glad I cancelled.
The face of those who put duke being duke as a negative

He cancelled his preorder based on negative reviews and this is somehow a bad thing? I understand conceptually not agreeing with one or two reviews but I would think it really foolish to bet against the aggregate. Using your logic: You thinking jumping off of a cliff is fun, several people jump of cliff, get horribly injured, tell you about it, and you being the courageous one decide to jump anyway...
