You gonna buy Duke Nukem Forever as soon as it comes out?

theJesus · Jun 1, 2011

Wow UK prices suck if £26.99 is a good deal. That's about $45 (USD) and it's $50 on Steam, so not much difference. Plus I'm sure we've got sales here too

WhiteLotus · Jun 1, 2011

It's because we pay VAT

For the DLC pack i haven't a clue what is happening from Amazon. But honestly not really that bothered about it. They seem to be the cheapest, as i've got it on pre-order for £42.05 so slightly cheaper then it is currently advertised.

Chris

Yeah, you'd think the biggest online retailer would have signed the deal, wouldn't you? Check out what it gives you on the Game page. I think there's a nice couple of bonuses there worth having, so see if you're interested.

Yup, us Brits always get screwed on price. :shadedshu Apparently it's even worse in Australia. I'm sure Mussels could answer this one.

horik · Jun 1, 2011

they usually do the 1$=1€ trick in games prices,i see the game is 44,99€ here on steam with 10% discount included for preorder

Yeah, that's true and very annoying. You get that with many other goods as well.

chris89 · Jun 1, 2011

Always brillant deals on amazon, play etc tbh. Vat prices are always screwy for us brits :/ Also that many shops don't bother lowering the price at all, and just charge at full RRP (Game for example most the time)

Well that's no surprise 7 years ago Game sucked but i am surprised that Gamestop have not brought the place out already.

Maybe try Market places it's what i used to do when i used to live in the UK.

chris89 · Jun 1, 2011

Sadly arn't any were i live or are to diffucult to get to. Car boots used to be a fantastic place to get games.

The only time i've used game online was to get Fallout NV Collectors since it was the cheapest.

Raijian · Jun 1, 2011

I'll try the demo, but I would never buy this game.

Widjaja · Jun 1, 2011

I haven't been disappointed by 2K for the most part and I am willing to take a risk on Duke Nuk'em Forever.

I think the only game i have been disappointed by from 2K was Bioshock 2.

MadClown · Jun 1, 2011

The fact there are more "no" votes than "yes" votes disgusts me in every way possible, how could you bet against duke?

qubit · Jun 2, 2011

Actually, I've got a really important question about Duke: does he ever take his glasses off? :eek:

crazyeyesreaper · Jun 2, 2011

no no he dosent because hes so badass he dosent even NEED to see at night or in dark places in order to kick ass. Pure instinct,

how do you think he repopulated the planet of the babes? pure instinct.

It's released on Steam on 9th June. Are you gonna get it as soon as it's released or pre-purchased? Pre-purchase saves you about a tenner.

It looks pretty good, so I'll take a chance on it and pre purchase it. The smarter thing to do of course, is to wait for the reviews to be sure that it's not a lemon.

Wow, I can't believe it's actually gonna finally be released after more than a decade of delays.

I had a few questions about it, so I posted on the 2K forum, but didn't get much of an answer.

As for asking anything on the 2K forum, your in the wrong place bro!!! You need to be at the Gearbox forums man! Here is the direct link to the Duke Nukem Forever forums:

I'm going to download it for FREE on the PC! I give it less than a week before its fully cracked!

So what your saying is; your planning on pirating this game?

I nor most of this fine community condones pirating software of any kind, and with that said, I am not quite sure why in the hell you even posted such a statement :nutkick:

I suppose you always want something for nothing though; correct?

I am not sure this is the community for you to be honest, you might want to just move along to somewhere that condones stealing...........It is not here!!!!!!!!!!!! Go find your favorite warez site.

I say........BAN this user while the getting is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow - you are truly a great person giving what he/she can to our society

I hope that pirating the game makes you feel good about yourself.
Now - move along to another forum please.

crazyeyesreaper · Jun 2, 2011

no one cares and pirating and being open on the forums about it is rather ignorant id expect if a mod sees this and has even miniscule issue with his / her day youll end up dissappearing off tpu

so a friendly note for you

TPU dosent condone pirating, so id suggest removing your posts sooner rather then later.

qubit · Jun 2, 2011

@moviez101, I second crazy here. Regardless of the rights and wrongs of what you're saying here, you're heading for a ban and you don't seem like the type to deserve it to me.

Carefully read the forum rules and delete these posts before you get nailed.

I have my views on the whole 'pirating' bullshit fiasco from Big Content that we might well agree on, so feel free to PM about it and we'll discuss.

If you wait in line at the bank for over and hour, you start thinking bad thoughts. Now multiply that by 14 years! I don't have a console, and that's the way the cookie crumbles on the PC side!
DRM compatiblity issues plus patches out the wazzo and yet I would "GLADLY" pay for the game!

HOWEVER....

I don't have $$$ for Xbox, PS3 or a 1080p HDTV Hardware wise, only my crusty, dusty, PC in which I will occasionally purchased the game AFTER ALL THE BUGS and online community for multiplayer has been established. PC's DON'T HAVE XBOX LIVE, OR PSN NETWORK!! I always take that into account after the single player has been solved. If you "RENT" the game and like it enough to play with your friends, you go out and buy it! Even the .NFO's in these cracked PC full games (Reloaded, Fairlight) say at the bottom "If you like it, BUY IT!"

Regardless, the demo for Duke Nukem is being released June 3rd, so the occasional demo is a much needed deterrent on a continually dieing PC gaming market! Ask yourselves this...When was the last time you played a mulitiplayer game on the PC vs today's consoles? What price tag would you place on that experience on each side? Starcraft II no longer supports LAN on the PC and i'm afraid the future for the PC gamer looks more and more desolate with each passing technology leap.

Need proof?

EVEN ID'S RAGE IS ON MOBILE GAMING NOW!!!

Pretty darm lame excuse. Maybe i should go rob a bank because i am pretty broke for a few months.

Your part of the reason why shits gone shits up.

I got more than I expected

qubit said:
Been shopping around for the best purchase of this game. A really important criteria for me was to get the Big Package DLC and I didn't care for First Access.

Only a handful of places do it, including Game, so I just bought it for £26.99

Duke Nukem Forever (with GAME Exclusive Preorder unlockable content)

I sorta want the Balls of Steel special edition, but they seem to charge a lot for a few cheap giveaways. You don't even get the DLC or strategy guide (not that you really need it, lol) which would have added real value to it. If anyone wants it, Amazon currently have it for £44.99 here which seems to be cheaper than anywhere else.

Quoting myself here, you can see I wanted the game for the DLC and the store page only mentions the DLC. However, I got even more than I bargained for: the code for First Access! :rockout:

If you're gonna buy the game, this is the copy to get.

I agree. With the line-up of top-tier games being released this year, people are being more selective about what they are going to spend their money on.
Everything is getting so flippin' expensive you have to cut back somewhere and the first place hit is disposable income

I'm looking at DS3 and Skyrim for this year and that's about it.

If I buy more games it means less TPU contests. Unacceptable.
