A comment on Duke Nukem Forever: barely playable, not funny, rampantly offensive. Parent comment

There's nothing to laugh at. It's just bad. Offensive is besides the point, that's how bad it is. Humour used to be ancillary, now the shooting is so bad, the design feels haphazard and the whole thing is so linear that self-references and unfunny shit are front and center. It's rather embarrassing.

Yeah, as I was reading the review, I was willing to give the game a rent despite Kuchera's complaints about the comedy.

But when he started going on about the checkpoints, health, shooting, chopping, loading and level design... my willingness evaporated.
