Re: Duke Nukem Forever

I'm duke nukem and I love awkward first person platforming.

EDIT-I mean compare this to how Alice 2 is getting decent reviews while still using a lot of aged mechanics.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

heh, looking down sights is really something that's done on the field of combat, though!

I felt kinda gimped when I wasn't able to do it in AVP last year....

Hey, I was going to link to that cracked article too!

I'm with Kire. I want to play it just to see if it is a train wreck.

It happened in Duke 3d as well.

There's nothing graphic. The concept is disturbing though.

And there's no gun-sights in DNF. Except for the sniper rifle, because it wouldn't work without it.

Perhaps, but this one is 13 years in the making!

This is why the only FPS I play is Team Fortress 2. :3

I am SO glad I picked up the Orange Box instead of this...and saved $20 in the process!

I knew there was a reason why my newest console is still a PS2.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

I'm a Duke Nukem "fanboy" but Forever is trash. Somewhere between Duke3D and Forever they built up Duke, who was supposed to be a walking stereotype, into an actual character with the world based around him. This is wrong because Duke3D was an exemplary shooter first that happened to star a one-liner spouting action hero.

If you watch all the teasers from 2001 to 2008 (when 3D Realms shut down) you can see how the game changes from something moderately interesting to the pile of steaming scripted-scene garbage it is now. It's like 3D Realms forgot what made the original shooter good (the level design) and simply focused on the humor which wasn't funny 15 years ago. As modern first person shooters changed the game (Halo to Medal of Honor to Call of Duty) they started ripping off design elements to "keep up" but each rendition was more and more of Duke's vapid personality and less game. Duke Nukem Forever feels like a movie reboot that completely misses the original's point like how Michael Bay's Nightmare on Elm Street has a straight-face Freddy Krueger.

I really want to like DNF but it's impossible. For 1/10 the price you can get a far greater game that probably lasts twice as long. No, that's not nostalgia talking, I'm playing Duke3D now and it's still relevant.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

I almost feel that people who hate FFXIII take videogaming too seriously.

I mean, I suppose that's inherently foolish to say on a videogame rpg maker nerdball cheetos forum.

But.

Still.
