| I'm playing it right now
ill give a trip report later tonight. E- First impressions. First and foremost. I am please to say that this game is indeed fun. Now, I will say that this game feels incredibly rushed. Playing the PC version right now and touched an hour on the Multiplayer. Which I will rant on about the Multiplayer in just a moment. Single player right now is...well, it's Duke Nukem. What can I say? There are hilarious one liners, and some catchy up close and personal "Duke Actions" that you can do whenever you get an enemy in a near death situation. The one thing pissing me off right now is the fact that I think gearbox spend way to much time on the interactivity in this game. Sure, it's cute the first time and all, but this goes on through the whole game. Yeah, you kill pig cops and those one liners like to make things interesting. But...I dunno, it get's kinda old after awhile. Multiplayer sucks so much ass that it's not even funny. it's horribly unbalanced, and playing on Caputre the babe is annoying as shit. You remember on CTF where the flag would get in your way when you are trying to cap it? Well, in Capture the babe, the chick you are holding likes to stick her hand in front of you while you are trying to get to home base. Only way to make her stop is to "Spank" her. Yeah, cute huh? No, not really, it's annoying as shit. And the girls like to do it every 10 seconds. Which means you need to do that action every 10 seconds if you want to see where you are going. Killing other people on MP is a total nightmare. I can unload on someone and they barely get hurt. Sure, this isn't CoD, but how is this fun? Only way to really play MP is just with the Rocket Launcher, but even then it's hard to hit other people because guess what the Ego meter regenerates too quickly. Even for other people. Don't get me wrong. it's fun so far. MP sucks so much ass and I think gearbox needs to address this with a balance patch because it's pissing me off. But Single Player? So far so good I guess. Still gonna bet on Duke and I'll still purchase this game. But if you have any doubt in your mind then please go with that doubt and only purchase this game if you REALLY love Duke Nukem. I said this a thousand times and I'll say it again. It's a good game, but honestly it's not $60 good. It feels rushed in a way. (Last edited by Bitmap on 06-11-11 07:38 PM) |

| I'm on The Lady Killer Part 3 right now so I'm not that far, but I do have to agree the game does feel a bit rush. The gameplay is fine and it's no doubt a Duke Nukem game, it's just technical issue and other little nitpicks that hold this game back. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Yeah, played a total of 5 hours so far and I have yet to beat it. Which is good because typical crap FPS games last about this long. So yeah.
Going a little deeper with my earlier post. It's still fun, Mp still sucks butt, and I am glad I bet on Duke. I mean it's one of those games you just -have- to pick up and play. You know? You can't really call yourself a gamer unless you have a taste of Duke's balls. So yeah. |

| Definitely play this on the PC if you guys can, looks and runs way better than the console versions... and my PC isn't even that great!
So far, it's really not THAT bad. Reviewers sure are tearing it up though. Probably not worth $60, but worth checking out for yourself. |

| Yeah PC version supremacy counting a big one on this game. Which is good because of mod support and all.
Played it on PC and it ran pretty good. |

| Sounds like the PS3 version actually beats out the 360 one pretty good too:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-duke-nukem-forever-face-off With 12 years of code and optimization, I'm not surprised how wildly different the versions run. But yeah, sounds like you guys should avoid the 360 version if at all possible. |

| Well, the good news is this:
1- I beat the game. 2- I can finally give my review. You know the saying "Always Bet on Duke"? Well, if you did, you probably lost. Horribly. For starters, I canceled my preorder a few days before the release date because I was already playing it. And I'm extremely glad I did because this game is an absolute disappointment. PROS - It's a Duke Nukem game. - Some of Duke's one liners are pretty hilarious. - The interactivity is pretty fun CONS - Unfortunately Duke Nukem is in the wrong game. - There is more interactivity than actually killing things. You can't call this a FPS if you are not killing things in first person. - This game would have looked incredible in 2004. There are actual sprites in this game. Sprites. A few framerate issues on a badass computer and yet this game still kinda struggles in certain areas. Not to mention the seriously horribad load times. Even on the PC version. - Extremely boring. Read about my FPS statement above - A whole lot of mess and a whole lot of balls. - Multiplayer is a total joke. Please avoid this. Please. The title of this thread is "Always Bet on Duke". Which I did, I seriously was claiming that this was going to be GOTY every year! But Gearbox I feel should have wrote this game from the ground up instead of counting on 3D realms. Instead; what you get is a polished turd and has the name Duke Nukem written all over it. Best way to play this game is this 1- Grab a beer. Alcohol might be important when playing this game 2- Dump your girlfriend. 3- Masturbate furiously when playing Duke Nukem Forever 4- Cry yourself to sleep for playing a terrible game 5- Finally, Don't buy this game. A message to Gearbox: You guys are worse than 3D realms. Thanks for making me lose my faith in Duke. |

| No offense Bit (and I've been arguing this to others and friends), but I don't think people should peg all the blame on Gearbox. All they really did was polish (is so, slightly failed too) the game, and probably simply made it actually release. They probably just wanted to get it out there before it never happened. Borderlands was incredible, every expansion pack and game Gearbox did on the PC was amazing, and I have full faith that their Aliens games is going to kick ass.
DNF is probably 90% 3DRealms dog. Just sayin'. I haven't played much of this. You could totally be right, but yeah. Gearbox just threw in some money and got it out there, I'd say. (Last edited by Erza on 06-15-11 06:18 PM) |

| I'm playing right now, and I'm going up against the alien queen. To be honest, I like the game. I like the fact that it uses classic FPS style and adds puzzle challenges into the mix. It reminds me of Quake 4, but with some extra puzzles.
Totally not worth $50 (what I spent), but I'd buy it for $35-$40. Haven't tried multiplayer, but single player seems legit. |

Originally posted by Lord Alexandor A nice comparison, I'd say especially after the alien queen the game starts to play and really feel a lot like Half-Life 2 and FEAR in design, which was totally fine with me. Yeah, not quite worth the full retail price, but it was not bad at all. I actually just finished it and seriously thought it was a pretty damn solid game. I think it started off really slow though, the casino/Lady Killer levels I kind of hated, but after that it was a blast. My only real complaint is the two weapons thing, but you were never really running out of ammo or anything so it wasn't too bad... it was also easy to stick with some weapons if you wanted, I used the Ripper throughout most of the whole game. The unlockables you get at the end are damn awesome. The game would have been perfect if it somehow had some of the early builds as playable unlockables. (Last edited by Erza on 06-18-11 06:27 PM) |

| Yeah, my best guess is that the code for those early builds might sadly be lost, broken, or something like that. Who knows.
I thought the outside casino portions looked pretty damn cool. Anyways, I do think it'd be interesting if Gearbox makes another game themselves someday, I think it'd certainly be a step up from this coming solely from them and not mainly from 3DR, and I'm sure Gearbox's time schedule wouldn't be a 12 year project. lol, until then I am stoked for their Aliens game, I want Borderlands 2, and after that... maybe another Duke would be awesome. Haters gonna hate. I forgot to mention that this game made me realize how much I miss epic boss fights in FPS's. The only other recent comparisons I can think of are Doom 3 and Quake 4... and well, go figure. Hopefully id delivers some cool classic FPS bosses in Rage or something. Giant minotaur-like monsters with rocket launcher arms, hell yeah I miss that stuff. (Last edited by Erza on 06-19-11 03:24 AM) |

| Playing it now, besides the LOL load times pretty good stuff I guess.
It's an FPS. What's there to expect |

| I just received the Balls of Steel edition.
Even if the game is bad (still haven't played anything else than the demo), it was still totally worth getting. I mean, shit, I have motherfucking Duke Nukem on my speakers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| So, I know I absolutely failed on my FF3 LP.
But how about we spice things up a bit: I'm buying Duke Nukem Forever. With my own money. And I am going to record myself playing it. For you all to see! Duke Nukem Forever LP. Coming this Friday! (I promise it wont suck) E- Oh, and this is how serious I am: If I don't have a video by Friday then I want to be banned. I'll seriously make this happen! E2- Purchased. Now to download.

| I was going to say this in the actual video. But another reason why I am doing is because I am going to eat my own words. This game is actually extremely good on the PC, and with the updated patch it's even more awesome.
Only real way to play this is on PC. Console versions however are indeed terrible. But I am making a public apology. And the way I am going to do it is by making the LP. The right way. ...drunk off my ass! (Last edited by Bitmap on 08-16-11 05:43 AM) |
