Hail to the king? Anyone?

I tried the original dn3d the other day (too young to have played it the first time around), and it was pretty damn cool. Not a great game, really - I got lost something bad and I don't really have the patience for looking for more than 5 minutes for the way out before I look up a walkthrough, and there were some places where you were taking heavy damage without feeling that you would've done better if you were more skilled, but still a good game. Looking at TotalBiscuit's first impression video, this doesn't look great at all. For someone like me who didn't play the originals a lot, the jokes wouldn't make any sense, and there's a lot of... standing around. Which isn't great in any game.
It feels like they've tried to make the game in the style that was the shit just before cover based combat became what everybody started doing (like, uh, I guess Doom 3), but felt the need to build it around a gimmick character. I hope the new Serious same games don't suffer the same problem.

wow the meta score on steam gives it a 59/100. that has to be one the lowest scored games ive seen on steam. Especially that it was just launched with so much hype.
so question for those who have played it.
Is it bad like watching a bad movie when your bored and it entertains you?
or
is it bad like it should be burned and never allowed to see the light of day?

Pretty obviously the latter. The forced to stand around thing is really, really awful and seems to highlight the worst excesses of the original game. The humor in Duke 3d was never particularly funny and was never very tasteful-- at best, Duke was just quoting Army of Darkness ad nauseum and at worst the infestation thing was pretty disgusting even if was presented as largely a flimsy excuse to riff off of Aliens. The impregnation thing never needed to be elaborated upon or made more explicit and just parking the player in front of it feels rather like a crazy person pulling you aside so they can show you the turd they just finished bronzing.
