Bombshell Game: First Impressions
-----I know, I know. Almost everyone was expecting a new game that would bring our hero, Duke Nukem, out from the ditch that Gearbox threw him in. Unfortunately, due to Gearbox getting in the way, again, Interceptor had to hatch up something quick to please their fans. This was when Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison was created.
-----You all may remember Bombshell from the original concepts of Duke Nukem Forever. If you noticed the girl that had pulled the lever that released the giant ball which would chase Duke down the tunnel, that girl was Bombshell but only an early concept of her. Now she looks like some kind of cyborg Skrillex. I noticed the character and I thought, "Oh hey, Bombshell, I remember her... Oh my god what the hell happened to her!"
-----I waited for 3 hours straight, on that website. I was begging for a new Duke game, but let's all thank Gearbox again for jumping into this party train and killing it. Once the waiting was over, Bombshell was on my screen. I watched the trailer and may I say it looks AWFUL. You can clearly tell where Interceptor took Duke out and put Bombshell in. Even the shotgun is the same as Duke's! The motorcycle, the whiskey, the throne! Clearly Interceptor did this as a last resort.
-----I'm going to be honest and blunt here, but the game may look good in the screenshots, but the trailer is usually what sells the game. And this trailer was a repellent for anyone interested in the game. I understand that they had to do something quick to keep their fans interested, but the laziness level here is too damn high, and the storyline is cliche as ♥♥♥♥! "Saving the president from an alien threat." That's more up Duke's alley, but like I said, Bombshell was a last resort.
-----I love Interceptor, but I gotta be blunt and real with this. No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Bombshell is a nice side character, but as a main character I don't think she holds out. Maybe what would be nice, is that Gearbox and Interceptor worked together on Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction and make it so that you could play as Duke or Bombshell. If that were to happen, I think the game would be great. Scrap the title, but not the character. Sadly enough, Gearbox seems like the kind of company that wouldn't want to partner with another. One reason, because they are money hungry.
-----Gearbox has been releasing Borderlands games, DLC, collectables, and all kinds of merchandise like a fountain! They are milking the hell out of that game, because they know gullible people will buy a polished up Borderlands 1 and 2. Gearbox is the main reason Duke will never see the light of day. I think the reason they got Duke Nukem's IP was so that they could keep it on a shelf and not have to worry about the competition it would bring to their sales. Is Gearbox creating a monopoly?
-----Overall, after all this ranting, I believe Interceptor should have said "♥♥♥♥ you Gearbox" and went ahead with Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction anyway. It's a shame about what happened to it and the Skrillex ♥♥♥♥♥ had taken his place. My first impression was bad, REAL bad. I was shattered at the scene of Bombshell. The only thing I like about it at this point, is the music. ♥♥♥♥ yeah, Andrew Hulshult! He is a badass, but Interceptor needs to get their ♥♥♥♥ together. WE WANT DUKE!

(P.S. ♥♥♥♥ you Randy Pitchford)
