Well, I say who gives a fuck. We don't. Shackers don't.
We pretty much know what Duke is, what it should be, and what it will most likely be when we play it.
When we fucking play it.
12 months ago - I'd have laughed in your face and told your mother to shake it baby if you'd tried to tell me we'd be actually playing duke this year.
The reviews can go fuck themselves.
I'm almost certain I'm going to have a tonne of fun playing duke. And I'm pretty sure most duke fans on the shack will too. Reviews don't really matter. It's duke :(

Fuck me.
On rails, infected with cheap gameplay design choices which force you in to playing the way they want by punishing you for playing it "normally" to a ridiculously transparent degree, and benefit you for not only accepting the rails, but accepting the heavily scripted artifices of gameplay design they "wanted to display".
I got about 2 hours in, and just chucked it.
Absolute case study of game design by cheese - that's blissfully unaware of the very fact that if they need to do that much to stop you from playing freely as you would, and that much to force you in to their prefered style - then their prefered style is about anything OTHER than good gameplay.
Really fucking irritating and transparently rigged game - I found it unplayable, because I just couldn't ignore how hamstrung, narrow, and pretty much "sit back and do what it wants you to effectivley letting it play itself" bs it did.
Roadie run... fucking ideal example of cheap. Fine, make turning more challenging, that's fine. But it's called a run. So fucking run. Don't do a cheap fov shift back and some camera effects to make it LOOK like its going fast, when it's barely faster than walking. I played QW, Cliffy, You did too. Hell, We played UT. We shifted our Fovs out wide to see more, from standard, and we all noticed immediately that it seemed like we were moving faster, even though we weren't.
So, rant over.
Gears of war isn't mature. Gears of war is fucking selfish and infantile game design that smacks of assumed auteur status and never stopped to look at what it was doing and what it had to do, and how damning it was to the design.
