I fully expect it to be mediocre. But I'm buying it because its Duke, and a Duke game is just stupid fun. A throwback to the shooters I grew up with. I don't think it will have any impact on the gaming community at large, beyond the usual stupid Fox News outrage bit. I expect there will be a bunch of dissapointed under-30-somethings who didn't play Duke 3D "back in the day," but bought into the myth/legend of DNF.
