Title: Duke Nukem: Forever?
Post by: metalnick on June 05, 2011, 03:46:18 PM
So I placed my pre-order for Duke Nukem Forever and got a chance to play the demo this weekend and I'm pretty stoked to get the game when it comes out. I won't spoil the demo for anyone in case you want to play it yourself but it is only two levels long. Anybody else plan on picking this up?

i would have literally lived off ramen cups for 3 weeks straight just to get the 60 bucks up for it... i friggin love the duke.

but that idea sadly died when i had to take my Ps3 back to rent a center.... but rest assured, WHEN i get another Ps3, i WILL get this, no matter how crappy/awesome it may turn to be....

if your desperate for a dose of the Duke, see if you can find "time to Kill" or  "total meltdown" a plutonium pack PSX port.  I have em both.

ugh... no offence but time to kill was just god awful... sad to say the only duke game i hate.

i do have my old D3D disc here.. i just gotta make an ISO image to use the bloody thing, now if i could only remember the name of the expansion for that that had the "dukeburger" level.... dammit im getting old. :banghead:

didn't "get" time to kill, did ya.  they call it Duke Raider for a reason.

my issue was the damn controls, other than that it wasnt a bad game, but if i cant work the friggin controls, (or if the character jumps 30 feet more than i wanted *cough*) it just kills it for me  :dontcare: .... your right though, they did call it "duke raider" for a reason...

i seriously want an MP3 of the new "metal" duketheme for my MP3 player though... that song sounds DOPE

I never had problems with the controlls (as I was allready used to the TR layout).  I had trouble with total meltdown's controlls.  it didn't convert to console too well. and, of course, both games were "disk only" turn-ins I bought pre Game Stop name change.

On a side note you might want to check out Powerglove if you haven't heard them. They do an epic version of the old X-men cartoon theme along with a bunch of other stuff.  :thumbsup:

Well after the past two days I've got to say I'm very satisfied with this game. If you're a Duke fan I'm pretty sure you'll like it. The multiplayer is a blast and makes me think of the old days of me playing Unreal Tournament at LAN parties with my buds. The only thing that annoys me is the loading times which seem to be a bit slow compared to other games but still it's great.

knowing that i would assume this would be better on a console or a WELL oiled machine.

Well I'm playing it on my 360 since my PC is a circa 2004 POS.  :evil: PC version might have better loading times but idk.  :idk:

i was thinking the same, i might just say the hell with a new Ps3 for now, get the cash and build a decent rig... plus on that aspect i could totally get into modding that sucker for PC.

After all these years of  wait we get THIS ? :facepalm: WTF !!! I'm already selling this piece of garbage ... there's no depth to anything, sounds are plain, shooting is plain, graphics are lame ... seriously, I have Quake 4 installed and wnted to make sure I'm right... unfortunately... Quake 4 has better graphics than this piece  of Schlock... guns are cheap, GFX are cheap, sounds are cheap ... even aiming is ruined completely ... now I know how Duke felt when he grabbed that turd from the toilet ... just like me, grabbing this game from store ... wasted time :(

this is why you follow totalbiscuit on youtube he already did a full review of the game and warned everyone about it.
Title: Re: Duke Nukem: Forever?
Post by: CyAn1d3 on June 20, 2011, 05:02:44 PM


theres the review neb is talking about if anyones interested.

just watching this im feeling kind of dissapointed, this is a perfect case in point of just throwing something together just to shut the fans up and make money off the merchandising rights.
to me this is looking like Quake and CoD-MF came together and had a bastard child, i still intend to try this myself, but i think ill rent if from GF before i invest in it.

my question is, had 3dRealms actually finished it themselves and not gone under, would it have been like this?

it's sold ... good god ... never ever zombie-revived games. If something was declared dead 10 years ago better leave it that way ;)

Unbelieveably sad. I'm not angry this game was so piss-awful. I'm sad.
Title: Re: Duke Nukem: Forever?
Post by: CyAn1d3 on July 09, 2011, 12:41:47 AM
i just downloaded the demo onto my rommies ps3... the graphics look like they were ripped straight from doom 3  :facepalm:

but the line from the demo:
"was the game good duke?"
"after 12 years, it f*cking better be"

made me laugh my ass off in disgust.  :uberlol:

i might buy it when the value plummets even further just to take up space in my collection, a duke game is a duke game, no matter how god awful it is.

but i do have some points to make:
yea the humor is dry, but i played D3D, it hasnt changed, its a 90s character, would he be the same if the humor changed?  :idk:

only being able to carry 2 guns sucks, yea, but think of this, remember time to kill?
and how friggin long it took to select the weapon you wanted with a dumb ass scroll menu?
to counter this they could have taken the "wheel" menu from oblivion, so you can map items to the d-pad  :dontcare:

the grapics are s*itty, well my only rebuttle is that this game was started 12 YEARS ago, but thats STILL NO EXCUSE for not polishing them up.  :bluescreen:

in all honesty i would GLADLY have waited another 2 or 3 years for something even 1/4 better than this.
sad to say, the king is dead, and we will never see him again. another gaming icon has been laid to rest because of piss poor execution.
but i will say this, we wanted duke, we got duke. just not how it should have been.

so, basically, it's a "love it or hate it" type.

remember, guys, WHEN this game started it's development...in the 4th gen console era.
they probably rushed to finish so it wouldn't turn into vaporware AGAIN.  there's been so much fuss over it being IN vaporwear mode so dang long, I think everybody just went "okay, OKAY it @$&!ing done allready, now SHADDUP!"

pretty much my arguement right there.
it got rushed through to shut the fans up, and we got EXACTLY that.
unfortunately, the fans STILL wont shut up because of how schnotty it came out.

if it wasn't for the fact I can't even afford to LOOK at a PS3, i'd find out for myself.  i HAD access to one, and bought two games.  then, family trouble, and POOF.

besides, unlike a lot of you Younger gamers (WARNING: old man rant ahead) i expect either crap or pitch-the-controller-through-the-TV hard.  i was utterly stunned at how LITTLE i had to go look up with the last of the PS2/gs/xb generation of games, and the beginning of the current crop.  i'm used to "guide Dangit" type games, and i swear games are finally getting easier.  and Duke wasn't exactly HARD, it was just too easy to get one hit killed before you could fire.
