RE: So..
looks like people are upset from both angles. youve got reviewers saying it plays like a late 90s game and is outdated looking and feeling. and the comedy is behind the times.
then you have people saying its not true to duke3d and feels like a mashup of games poorly crammed together.
I'm in the latter camp. feels nothing like old build engine games and just doesnt seem to be fun. duke walks slow, has a sprint button and gets tired. 2 guns at a time. you feel clunky. they made it a tactile shooter kinda thing. no quicksaves. you cant get yourself in a pinch by getting to a tough spot with super low health cause it regenerates. they just took every game since duke3d that they considered good and cramed them all together in one game, then stuck some bad voice acting on there and called it a day. from what ive seen so far, the level design is poor, too. graphics are pretty ass-y. terrible mouse lag. I may end up playing portal 2 before i play this heap.
of course, duke 3d wasnt very good either, but at least it was a build engine game so the overall feel was good.
