Let us know how it is 
Started downloading too and mine just finished, don't know if I'll play much of it tonight though, already a bit late for me.
Decided to give it a whirl. It looks like it was the same demo that was playable at PAX. Got a solid 10-15 minutes out of it

Demo is pretty short - 15 mins or so, but it gives you a good taste of what to expect. The gameplay feels straight out of 1996, I suppose that's a good thing though since they are banking on nostalgia to move copies. Not sure if I'll buy yet but Duke fans won't be disappointed.
One thing that bugged me is the weapon limit, seems you can only carry 2 weapons at once. Seems silly in a game like this.

Wanting it? We'll it's been in development for 12 years now, has escaped death, and is part of the much loved Duke Nukem series, which was quite unique back in its day

I haven't played it yet, but I'm with you on what I've seen so far. Duke's one liners are funny at times but most times it falls short. Some gameplay also looked bland compared to what we have today(Call of Duty, Ghost Recon, Halo, Gears of War, etc)

Fuckin exactly.
If they were trying to appeal to the average tard that plays CoD, the game would be a lot different.
In a lot of ways.
As it is, it's a fun, old school type game with a nice change of pace compared to shit that's the same thing every time like CoD.
For example, i'm sure people will bitch about no iron sights. I'm glad it doesn't. That's becoming too generic these days and few do it truly well.

76 metascore so far on PC as opposed to 55 on 360. Hm.
Ouch...not very good. I intend on giving it a shot regardless, especially since my dad is a huge fan of DN
Reviews seem all over the place tbh, I've seen some 8s on the PC side.

It's a game from basically over a decade ago. What the fuck did everyone expect?
You seriously cannot in anyway compare this to modern shooters like Call of Duty or Crysis or whatever. It's from a different era.
The average gamer will probably compare it to games like that. People who are Duke Fans, will be able to enjoy it for what it is and enjoy the older style gameplay
