I finally downloaded this. Its graphics seem like something from 5-10 years ago.

However, my main issue so far, and I noticed this the split second I had control, was a SEVERE lag in the controller. I've never noticed this on any other Xbox game and for a FPS it's 100% unacceptable. Has anybody else noticed this? Basically, when I start moving onscreen it doesn't respond immediately and when I stop the targeting reticle continues to pan for a fraction of a second. It makes it feel very drunk. If others are noticing this I would gauge it a complete failure on that alone. Really takes away responsiveness.
Are people being intentionally dense? As was explained 5 million times already...3drealms had nothing to do with this game for the past few years. They finally got shut down and Gearbox did it.
I realize my response here is late, but I just downloaded the demo today and it says 3drealms somewhere in it. I don't know why/care, but they have some involvement. This says it's gearbox now (http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?t=38127) so I don't know, nor really care at which point 3drealms dropped this turd ;)

EDIT: Finished with this. Approximately 10 minutes and that's enough. I consider this game unplayable if one wants to enjoy themselves, the lack of responsiveness between controller and duke is unreal. Also the frame rate sucks and the graphics are freaking terrible, not at all up to snuff with a 2011 360 game, not even close.
