Duke Nukem Forever

[WarhammerTX]

Yeah I cant stand steam they are pretty cheap on egay already

Took some good screenshots today.

Spoiler

Honestly, I don't understand whats so different about Duke, or what some thing he's more over the top than he was before. He talks now and then, but most of the entertaining things I see are happening in the enviroment, like all of these screenshots show. I was busting a gut when I seen these things, so easy to give them great titles too, like the Pinball game is titled "Pin...Balls Balls Balls BALLS OF STEEL!!!"

Hah! That's the catch with Steam: you can't. Our rights to resell our games have been violated. Thankyou Steam DRM.

Don't buy it new. Most of the games I have bought were under $10, games like Metro 2033, Bioshock 1 + 2, Warhammer 2, some great games. At those prices, not even a point in selling, if I buy a console game for that I don't resell because the price to ship it out is almost what it cost me to buy.

Steam ensures that you can only buy it new. Once you activate that code in the box, it's associated with your account for life and there's no way to run it without activation... unless you crack it of course, but that's not what we're talking about here.

Nice screenshots BTW.

EDIT: Oh duh! < facepalm> I've just got what you meant - to get it on special offer. Yes, many, many games I do. It's almost 2:30am here and I must get my sleepies and a break from being awesome!

I mean don't buy it when it is released. PC is a market that doesn't really take kindly to used games, with cd keys and registering. Not many places I can get many of the amazing titles I own on Steam, for the same price. Only issue is if you buy a game right when it releases, so make sure to purchase what you plan to keep. The deals on Steam (75%, 66%, 50% off) far outweigh reselling my games to me, I've saved so much money.

And ty, this games hilarious.

Yes, of course, I was editing my post when you posted, lol.

Yeah, I like it too. I'm reading bad review after bad review and while they can be right on some of the technical points, they just don't get the game. I find myself reading the reviews in protest and a shake of the head more than anything else.

The thing is, it still works despite various issues, some of which I've pointed out in my own mini tech review.

"Armor is for Pussies!" I wonder if that dialog came before or after they decided to use the regenerating health and 2 weapon mechanics from Halo lol

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

nah games more like gears of war then halo.... i mean hell look at the story, the weaponry etc and tell me DNF isnt gears of war with rude crude humor its why i said its a copy paste unreal engine shooter

 

[pentastar111]

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

The newest drivers cleared all of my problems...

Duke Nukem Forever hit me with bad nostalgia because it's not the Duke Nukem I remember at all. 3D Realms really took his character over the top in all the wrong ways. Duke is the uncle you had hero worship for growing up but then you realize he is actually a dick who isn't funny at all and maybe even pity. Last Action Hero with Arnold Schwarzenegger is what Duke Nukem should of been.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

meh i enjoyed it a bit vulgar but again my review points that out 6.5/10 its above average, just not what i expected just no where NEAR as bad the reviews sayings is utter shit and a 2 out of 10 and what not lol but i feel the game itself is worth it for no other reason then beating it unlocks concept art and screenshots from the first build of Duke Nukem straight through to today. every step of the way even a time line of events etc. The game kinda has everyone in it to explain why it is the way it is once you beat it of course most people overlooked it.

It actually is a decent game , and for some reason .... im not a fanboy ,but i did played DN3D a lot back in the days ... im just experienced with 90' games and i seem to like it, i like the adventure aspect of it too.

The game's fine as content, gameplay ... but a bit modernized.


however the dedicated server appears to be useless. no editor and modding tools yet

Schwarzenegger as Last Action Hero does not come even close to Duke! The Things that Duke does, are much more dangerous and freaked out!

Thats not Duke.

 

[BumbleBee]

[qubit]

Duke Nukem got nothing on Jack Bauer lol

There, fixed.

 

[Mindweaver]

There, fixed.

Nice! I seen what you done there!

 

[qubit]

Nice! I seen what you done there!

Yeah man, nothing can top Bauer.

I've seriously enjoyed every single episode of all 8 seasons, plus the bonus episodes. I can't say that about any other series I've watched. Ever. Not even any version of Star Trek or SG-1.
