The Lazy Peon Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Duke Nukem forever has become somewhat of a gimic.Previously we've seen him in a side-scrolling epic that arguable brought games of that ilk up to the current standard.Then, we saw him in Duke Nukem 3D- the next step on from DOOM. With multiple floored environments that were relativly free-roaming as well as very interactive, the Duke Raised the bar yet again.There had to be another Duke game, right? Wrong. Until now.For 12 and half to thirteen years, Duke Nukem Forever (The sequel to Duke Nukem 3D) was delayed over and over again, with the developers 3D realms chasing the idea of a perfect game, until going bankrupt.Enter Gearbox- Lifelong Duke fans, they thought that the game had to finished, bought the rights, and here we are.And infact, here i hold in my hands.If not for the game, buy a copy for the event- Play it, then tell us all what you think.Is the Duke back, kicking ass and chewing bubblegum? Or does the old Geezer need a rest? Tell us what you think and discuss the game here! Quote
TheGreenGrasshopper Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 It's doesn't feel the same anymore and the weapon system is a very negative point for me seeing as you can only carry 2 guns instead of every gun duke nukem 3D style. Quote
Damien Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 When i played the demo, i was disappointed. But i just think they put the crappiest scenes from the real game into the demo.(i hope atleast)I have had a lot of fun playing duke nukem 3D and i miss that feeling in the demo, hopefully the demo just sucked and the game kicks ass.

Clavus Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Use the damn searchY U ALWAYS MAKE NEW TOPIC. GEE.Technically this is a topic about its release. Quote
The Lazy Peon Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 SO FUCK YOU NOBANA!Mwahahaha. The system fails again! Quote
BlueYoshi97 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Use the damn searchY U ALWAYS MAKE NEW TOPIC. GEE.That doesn't mean you should bump it.Anyway. The whole fan-thing of the game sounds pretty funny. Other than that it's not my type of game. Quote
TheGreenGrasshopper Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 I have been playing it and I must say although it looks and maybe feels quite a bit different from the old duke nukems it still is great and I'm loving the references,puns, etc. Quote
Chikennugget1 Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 I don't know if I will buy it, apparently the maps are badly made, and the gameplay is old :/ Quote
TheGreenGrasshopper Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 So I finished:-gameplay is influenced by the new games aka: you can't carry loads of stuff anymore, health regen, very straight to the point (run there, press that button that we lit up for you, kill waves of monster, repeat)-The guns pretty much stayed the same with some few added ones.-the references are still awesomeIt was fun playing it but for me it was to short and some things like bosses can only be hurt by explosives etc were just terrible. The rare occasions that I would die were because I tried going another way then they wanted to, and I don't know about the multiplayer but I guess that they tried making that more interesting. Quote
Cookie Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Mine doest start .I"m getting to the first loading screen when I select campaign, it loads like 20 seconds, and than it freezes and I get the mouse to move around, so I need task manager to end it.Fail. Quote
Mathematic Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I downloaded it too. I could play the game just normally, so I think Cookie is doing something wrong. Most objects are quite interactive, but they do tell you each step you have to take. Quote
Cookie Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I downloaded another crack which does work. When I tuned the graphics up to ultra the game got stuck and I cant get it started anymore. So I think that was the problem the first time. I"m reinstalling and leave the graphics where they are now.Still weird though. Quote
BlueYoshi97 Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 If they would have released this game on time, they would sell much more, because back then there wasn't so much pirating.Now it's a bit ironic, after waiting sooooooooooooooo long, everyone just downloads it for free. Quote
(O)_(O) Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) I played Duke nukem, long time ago in PS1, but now the new Duken Nukem omg, Ay caramba! Edited June 15, 2011 by (O)_(O) Quote
MaSKa Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 omg i remember when i buy Duken Nukem 64 for n64 plataformm,i buy it for 15.000 pesetas(90euros),now i have it in my mobile with same graphicsThis will download it for free (when I have pc) Quote
BouweV Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I never played any Duke Nukem.Not sure if it's smart to say that.. Quote

TheGreenGrasshopper Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Well I feel that it's quite normal that it's still being sold good seeing as the (for some) now adults get a sequel on their awesome shooter and the new kids want to find out who this awesome duke nukem character is.And Bouwe, it's not terrible to say that =P I do suggest playing duke nukem 3D if you can find it. It's great fun Quote
Cookie Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 They should have packed Duke 3D with Forever, that would give it an extra selling boost imo . Quote

TheGreenGrasshopper Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Cookie that would actually have been a very good idea, but they would need to add the needed programs too though. Quote
