If a brand name tricks you into buying a game without looking at it first or finding out what they have done with it I think the fault lies with you. DN:F was a lot of fun for me I had a great time playing it compared to some of the older console versions I think it is a much better Duke Nukem then them.
And to be fair they might just be slapping the name on it to get some nostalgia reactions from some fans and hope they will buy into it. Or they might actually be out to expand upon a game series they loved, I can't tell I don't know the people. Not everyone thinks that every game with the same brand name needs to be the same game in the same format over and over.
But this is all a matter of opinion no one is right or wrong and no one is going to flip sides over a clever post on a forum. Gamers have become an
Unpleasable Fanbase nothing a game maker can ever do will satisfy everyone. You are free to hate this game, rage about it, call it names and pick out every fault but I am going to be over here playing some games and having a good time.
