The Gamespot review talked for quite some time about how boring the map quest was, and how it was like it was tossed in to add a bunch of hours to the game... I didn't really believe them at the time, but after playing the game I completely agree. It is tedious and way too long... sure, taking the time to finish those two dungeons and cutting back on the map quest (so that it didn't break their precious 'make this easy for beginners' mantra the game followed) would have taken longer, but I agree -- I would have waited. Delays are annoying, but if you know they're really using them for making the game better it's not as bad...
In other news, Wired gave Duke Nukem Forever, now around 7 years in development, its Lifetime Vaporware Award, so that they could free up the #1 slot on their yearly list (which it's held for three years now) for something else... :)
