Duke Nukem Forever is actually a great game (for oldschool fans)

Painfully drab, uninspired, linear level-design do not make this a good oldskool experience. I actually think it's better than most people think, but this is not a great game by any stretch of the imagination. If released 10 years ago it would have been derivative. For a relatively recent game, it's just lazy.
 
Okay, yeah. Please forgive me. I have to apologize for the "old school fans" phrase.
I'm currently replayig Doom 1 ....an this is something else....oh wow. This games is so much fun, even more than 20 years after release. Holy shit. The sound effects, the framerate, the weapons. I'm feeling like a child again. What happened to those games?

Check out the new Rise of the Triad. Little rough around the edges but its a throwback to those days.

How could Duke Forever be considered old school? No secrets, linear level design, and limited weapon load out. What exactly is your idea of old school?
