In case anyone is wondering, Duke Nukem Forever was not worth the wait...

For fun in shooters, I recommend Bulletstorm. I liked that one. :)

That game, while I'm not denying is fun, gave the biggest, "We've waited 10 years now. We're going to make a Duke Nukem game since Forever is probably not going to come out". Then Forever's release date was announced like right as Bulletstorm hit the shelves.

Mainly it's just the Kick that gave me that Duke Nukem thought.

Here is a comic about Bulletstorm just because:

I lol'd cronky.

Dread I hope you aren't taking Duke Nukem seriously. It's a mindless romp, and should not be judged. It has transcended the curse of being judged like any other game, it's like the Muhammad of video games.

Eeehhh....

Seriosuly as in? The only game I think I ever took seriously is probably StarCraft II or World of Warcraft, other games I don't know if it's possible to take it seriously ><

I meant that it doesn't take itself seriously. No one should be hyped about it. I don't see how anyone can think it will be a AAA game. The game's purpose is having no purpose. And if there was one thing that absolutely does not matter when it comes to Duke Nukem, it's probably graphics. The game has basically always been a parody. Your friend sounds like he would be mad if Scary Movie 2 took 10 years to come out and had sub-par visuals. That's how dumb your friend seems to me.

Except I doubt that they intended that...

Cronky · June 01, 2011, 01:35:41 AM

I'm pretty sure they intended that...

Watch the trailer over. Gawk at how serious it sounds at the beginning, then takes a turn for the funnier side of things. The reason he's fighting, the nudity, the bathroom jokes, punching an alien in the "jewels", all that leads up to the final joke where it makes fun of itself and it's long development time.

Like Farley said, Duke Nukem Forever isn't meant to be taken seriously. I know that because that was the most serious trailer I could find. All the other ones are just focusing on the Nudity (or just Girls), or the Bathroom jokes (you can throw a piece of poop).

...The Multiplayer doesn't have Capture the Flag, it's Capture the Babe. There was controversy surrounding it because you are essentially kidnapping a girl, and when she flips out too much you have to smack her ass.

^word

My guess is that it is worth the wait if you know what you are waiting for.

DreadStunLock · June 01, 2011, 01:58:16 PM

OMG, is the multiplayer going to be like that oO I AM SO BUYING IT XD

Cronky · June 02, 2011, 12:48:18 AM

He has seen the light! The great and almighty Lord Nukem has shown him the righteous path!!!

GLORY HALLELUJAH!!!

Well this game looks like shit. Half the demo is just walking around triggering scripted event cutscenes, and the rest is just linear walking in a line with boring as hell looking fights. Just pop out and shoot dudes then duck back behind cover and regen. Enemies are just wastes of time, you're always gonna be capable of killing them since you recharge back to 100% between fights, and they can't do any lasting damage to you either beyond killing you, in which case you just load and try again.

Add in shit puzzles (push cart and then get in cart is boring. Making the player push cart then get in cart and then immediately afterwards push another cart and get in the cart is just fucking dumb. Even if it was fun the first time, there's no point repeating it. Filler shit.)/TAP BUTTON FAST TO WIN/only two guns just because/NPCs with awful dialogue which they keeeep repeeeeating and you've got a bad game.

and i mean i've watched a video of the demo on youtube so i'm a fucking expert.

Cronky · June 05, 2011, 07:33:38 AM

What are the chances that they took the two crappiest parts of the game and put them as the demo? That would make SOME sense. Perhaps even be a little comical because of peoples rationalized expectations...

...right?

AI, Weapon management, sounds, and generally every game mechanic being from a Alpha build of the game?

It's GOTTA be possible...

...I'm still interested in playing it...

DreadStunLock · June 05, 2011, 12:59:50 PM

Eehhh, I might get it, I nearly pissed myself laughing on the demo when Duke picks up poop and starts throwing it, but the character starts saying:

No, no! What the hell!? That's disgusting!

And the 2 idiotic soldiers drawing on a board, that's just precious xD

The entire game is just gonna be filler. Wasting your time bro.

The fuck? That isn't entertaining or funny or interesting at all. It's not even a parody like most of the jokes in the old Duke games, it's just playing with shit. You'd seriously buy a game because it lets you play with shit? What the fuck, man.

DreadStunLock · June 06, 2011, 10:22:40 AM

You mad bro?

IT'S F*CKING UNIQUE!

I'm going to make a recording of my very first time playing it, going to draw your avatar with your name on it on the board, and start flicking poop at your face just to prove a point of how much fun that is in Duke Nukem :P
