Duke Nukem Forever

[1Kurgan1]

I literally LOL'ed at that!

Im going to buy this game, just because its Duke Nukem and hes a legend even if the game is a dissapointment. I liked the demo when i played it at my friends on the xbox

If you feel Duke is a Legend, the game won't be a disappointment to you. It's the people who don't respect Duke and his legacy that feel disappointed, or confused on who Duke is. I see many reviews making fun of Dukes jokes, or how he acts like a 90s action star (Arnold/Stallone). But thats exactly what he is suppose to sound like, thats how he is suppose to act, so when I see them say that as bad points about the game, I see them as positives, they just don't get Duke.

I for one agree entirely with this review. This game is retarded.

There's a feeling among some fans of Duke Nukem that anyone who dares to give a bad review to a Duke title simply doesn't understand what the game is trying to do. We need to relax, goes the argument, relax enough to laugh at the rampant misogyny and hateful stereotypes on display throughout the game. If a review suggests that it's not funny simply to hear someone use dirty words, that's the reviewer's failing, not an issue with the game. Any hint that constant jokes about penis size aren't the height of comedy? The reviewer must not have a sense of humor.

The fans are wrong. One can laugh at jokes about men and women, and there's nothing wrong with being risque, but Duke is thoughtless, backwards, and belligerent. Duke Nukem Forever is the kind of game where you find a pack of cigarettes whose cover shows a mustached man wearing leather—and they're called "Faggs." At some point, matters of personal taste become simple questions of basic decency.

I love how most ppl bashing duke didnt play the game etc. or even try and give it a chance thats what i find funny because to be completely honest its nowhere near as bad as the reviewers out there are saying it is.

Yea the game is badass to me! DNF is like watching Benny Hill at midnight when you where a kid... You have to take it for what it is!

EDIT: Who is going to buy a game about pig aliens taking over the world... and start playing and complain about it not being real enough?.. lol

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well eitherway im done waiting on others to send me there thoughts on the game review is almost ready it needs some proof reading and organizing. so once thats taken care of and I grab some nice screen shots from my collection it should be good to go woot.

Your review is right, Duke is thoughtless, backwards, and belligerent. He always has been and always will be, the first part of the review sums it up nicely, you don't get it, and the end explains that perfectly, that is who Duke is.

That reviewer also is correct when pointing out that you can be all that Duke is without being so stupid it actually is.

It feels like the developers have taken stuff that seems "Dukeish", overdone it beyond itself and stitched it together. They deepthroated themselves while saying "God we're good at this" and then promptly swallowed.

EDIT: And Duke3D was not a very bad game. It was actually pretty good back then, even if you didn't like the style and humour. This game is not even a very good game.

I mean this with respect but I think its an American thing. Even a generational American thing. Duke from my perspective is awesome. Crappy game but awesome at the same time. Kinda like a cult classic. Most the kids today have never even seen this kinda humor in this post politically correct world. Kids of the 70/80s and before were raised to worship John Wayne and the over the top American bad asses. This is something that a lot of young Americans and most Europeans do not get. Duke is how we all felt like we wanted to be growing up. Not like today where they teach you to feel guilty for everything you had nothing to do with and the "golden rule" is frowned upon.

So yeah Duke isn't groundbreaking. But it is awesome if you have the right frame of mind and are from a bygone era.

People bitching about this game do not understand. Its like they are complaing "Why does this dog lick its balls? Its so disgusting!" While the rest of us are saying "Because thats WTF dogs do!"

Yes - everything.

Why can't the damned reviewers bloody get it? Here's a 3 /10 for a review of the xbox version.

There's a few things that bother me about it, but that's more to do with software bugs and a couple of design decisions like checkpoints, not the core gameplay.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

Mailman gets it. just as I get it.

leave the politically correct bullshit at the door, and drop the guilty conscience society gave you in the shitter then play Duke Nukem and you will realize that its mediocre and cheesy but oh so fun.

 

[MilkyWay]

I dont think people where totally slamming the game just based on its humour but rather because its not a very good game on a technical level.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

and again most of them dont actually understand the game was essentialy done in 2007 for christ sake

its been 12 years 12 years blah blah blah Duke Nukem 3d to Duke Nukem Forever is 16 fucking years lolz games story and half its assets were done over 4 years ago lol the game is essentially in terms of tech lvl and graphics around 2006 vintange, its why it looks to be around the same quality as titles graphically and technologically speaking from that time period. Its also why its considered an amazement the game was released.

people do that far to often now, bash a games graphics even though there are games from the 90's more fun to play then some modern games which are supposed to be good because of the graphics (bottom line - they should stop treating graphics as a benchmark for game quality and just say how much they enjoy playing it), graphics are a bonus, not compulsary

 

[hellrazor]

people do that far too often now

Sorry, that was bugging me.



Anywho, I'm 20 now and I think I might have played Duke 3D on my dad's PC when I was little (and a Duke Nukem: Time to kill demo for the PS1), so I've never really had too much exposure to Duke Nukem, but I do get the general idea behind him. And I love it.

Why? I think it's from Bart Simpson. People IRL call him a bad role model, mean, egotistical, etc. but they don't realize that that's exactly it. Nobody would like him if he sat down, did his homework, and was a nice little boy. He'd be another average background character: nothing different from the norm; nothing at all exciting, intriguing, or special.

EDIT: lol "Take your tentacles back to Japan, you freak".

Also, for all of us DNF fans, you can also get the originals:

Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition and Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project DRM-FREE! for $5.99 each at gog.com

I've just bought them.

 

[Mindweaver]

Well.. I usually game on my Q9550 with crossfired 5850 toxic's.. But it's the one that has been giving me problems with Duke.. So, I installed it on my i7 970 @4ghz with an gtx480 and it plays it butter smooth! Keyboard works correctly! everything maxed and my fps is over 200.. hehehe I'm back to kick'n ass and chewing bubble gum.. and i'm all out of gum!

I may try it on my 2500k @4.5ghz with gtx470... It just that it's crunching and folding so smoothly!

I agree to all of this, but DNF zoomed past all this and hit a brick wall. If it was Good Ol' Macho Duke it would be alright, but IMO this isn't it. Duke is a great charachter, but this game did it all wrong.

And now I'm out.

That's helpful. It looks like reinstalling the driver and possibly using a driver cleaner might fix the low FPS problems.
