I enjoyed DNF, I like it.
But... it has issues. There's a surprising lack of action and fighting. And, they went over board with the idea that Duke has to be funny.

It was an element of DN3D that was window dressing. A small side element that worked because it wasn't the main focus. DN3D wasn't outright trying to be funny.
But, somewhere along the line that got far more attention then it ever should have.

In DN3D I never once had a hard, laugh out loud moment. The occasional chuckle caused by a "I get that reference" type moment.
Hearing a one liner and knowing where it came from. Seeing a parody of an action film, or a current media story and knowing where it came from. They were good for a smile, a chuckle...
Those small sarcastic, black humor fueled moments that broke up the serious tone of the game.

DNF... took that and ran with it was too much. They tried way too hard to make the game a comedy action experience. When it should have been an action game, serious... dark... with some sarcasm and black humor to break up the tone a few times.

Like I said, I like DNF.. but at times, it feels like a parody of DN3D instead of a sequel.
