I paid all of $1 for Duke Nukem Forever [Amazon was selling it for $6 and I had a $5 coupon off certain downloadable games] and that's probably about what it's worth.
And it's not like it's a really terrible or broken game, it's just...so boring. The combat is so bland and boring and the most basic corridor running and gunning imaginable, the locations are bland and sometimes repeated [had to go through the same part of the hotel twice, not that it matters since every part of the hotel looks the same anyway] and it's all just boxes with different textures for you to run through, and there's nothing about the enemies that's particularly exciting they just appear then run at you. The only thing this game has going for it is sex humor and nostalgia, and I don't have much nostalgia for Duke Nukem and the sex humor gets old fast, so there's really not much left.
If anything, DNF has really made me appreciate Rage that much more, since Rage does throw-back FPS gameplay so, so much better.
