That's interesting to see that Eidos Montréal is actually branded as such.

Even more interesting is the fact that I live 30 minutes away from Montréal and I never heard of "Human Revolution" up to now...

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.

I find more and more reactions like this all over the internet. Makes me wonder how critics were able to find jobs all these years. When I read a movie or stage play review there's usually plenty of bitching involved. And here I am, with so many people saying "STFU, it's OK, leave Britney alone!".

No wonder creators are too lazy to aim for quality, if there are masses of slaphappy, easy-to-please people who buy everything that's fed to them, and anyone caught at pointing faults would be named unhappy fanboi.

Now I realized that this stage play reviewer, a journalist, writer and poet, was just a crazed fanboi, because that's who you are if you dare to complain.

Well, that single line is the worst BS I've read in this thread yet. Unless you mean I should torrent every new game I might be even remotely interested in to try them in full before even considering purchasing the game itself if it please me, with no guarantee that I'll even bother purchasing it at all.

And don't come to me stating that I have to waste my entire life reading meaningless and biased reviews or play demos which usually don't even turn out like the shipped game... That would frankly be adding another layer of BS.
