"Duke, you're a relic from a different era," says the President. "This is a new age for humanity. We can't afford to shoot first and ask questions later, just because we suspect they still have WMDs! I'm in diplomatic discussions with the Cycloid Emperor for the peaceful co-existence of our species. You are not required. Do not get involved." Duke knows as well as us: fuck that.
Here's a realization you might have made - Duke Nukem Forever wasn't worth the wait. Hilariously enough, every professional game critic, from IGN to Destructoid, to the Escapist to Kotaku has said - more or less - "this game wasn't worth the wait." And, they're right. What's hilarious about it, though, is that absolutely no comment of "this wasn't worth waiting fifteen years" is preceded by, "of course." So let me say it - of fucking course, Duke Nukem Forever was not "worth the wait".
