No. Gearbox took up Duke Nukem Forever about a year and a half before it's actual release. 3D realms just never got around to ever doing anything with it, but just said it was in development when it really wasn't.
Actually, the content in the game demonstrates that it's been in development all twelve years. Otherwise, we wouldn't end up with the History of the FPS Genre in that game.
Sometimes, when I hear all the praise being cast on Skyrim, I'm wondering if I'm playing the same game.
Sorry ladies and gentlemen, but to me, Skyrim is a bundle of dissapointments, and will be the last TES game I ever buy.
I wasnt looking for Morrowind 2.0, but I was looking for an elder scrolls game, and Skyrim is anything but.
Skyrim is an imposter, claiming to be an RPG, but its actually linear, un-interesting, and an action game.
Skyrim's story is a shriveled core of mediocrity. They removed the dialouge and subtitles for some strange reason that I cant seem to fathom. Because of this, every character now needs to speak to you for thirty minutes in order for any story to develop at all.
I used to be able to read the subtitles faster then the always-out of breath and slow-talking imbeciles of Oblivion, but now, I need to listen to NPC's for ten minutes at a time, and if I skip even one section of the voice-acting, I miss the story.
Everyone hails the quests in Skyrim, calling them much more interesting, and the dungeons better designed. Again, am I even playing the same game?
The quests in Skyrim are SO BADLY DESIGNED, they needed to make practically a third of all NPC's essential. Because of this, not one quest in this game can be falied. In Morrowind, you ran the risk of failing every quest, therefore adding replay-ability.
If they had correctly labeled the game as Action, I wouldnt be mad.
If they had correctly called the game "Skyrim", and not "The Elder Scrolls, Skyrim" I wouldnt be mad.
But because of this, I have no choice but to give the game 5/10.
Hmm... not sure what game you're playing. Mine is an awesome game that has displaced
Daggerfall as the pinnacle of TES.
