That's an easy one. When videogames became a profitable industry they started to focus on be more and more profitable. And there are "cheap" tricks to do that with a broader spectrum of users than the average gamer (as seen in causal market). As videogames get more profitable they try to reduce risk using psychological rewards and known mechanics that players approve. Money killed videogames, and we, gamers, gave the poison.
in the 360 and it's not a awesome game. This release will be important for the team that worked so long on this game, but like other said: there are some awesome shooters out there nowadays and DNF is not one of them. I just fear that reviews can get rough because of the development time and so little accomplishment in all game aspects. Gameplay is typical but a little irresponsive, graphics look good but have no personality. Duke needs more steroids, because he jumps 1 feet high and can't push a mining cart full of barrels, meaning that he's all talk. I respect the dev team but this game will not get good reviews or good talk from players.
