Duke Nukem Forever Feedback Survey: Where Did We Go So wrong?

[purefun65]

I have this position on it. It is no longer a vaporware joke. It changed hands with various starts and stops of development. It was imho never going to be good. Now I believe you get a free pass for this. Asking the community to help make it a great game is a positive thing. I will only judge you on the next game. You will stand or fall on the next release. Then will I judge duke nukem.

I just completed the survey. That was a very poorly designed survey. The survey fails more than the game. If that is the level of effort in gaining feedback, then I definitely won't be buying the sequel. I dread to think of the PR for the next version: "we have you what you want..." but based on the survey they will learn diddleysquat.

Development was just like 1 year from what Ive seen. BF3 was developed longer. Starcraft2, now that was a game developed with long years.

 

[Easo]

Except 12 years, nowhere. They made the game exactly in the same style as the old ones, and people were too used to modern games, and it throwed them off.

Counter-Strike 1.5 is much better
All drinks and all power-ups were really programmed without any imagination
This game needs much better to do seriously
They thought that people would buy duke nukem just because of the name
It was impressive at that time, not now.
See the concurrents of the game:
Deus-Ex(much better), Deadisland(before this nukem is a joke)
Not to mention other games which crush nukem from begin to end
I put a 3 to this game out of 10. Didn't enjoy anything.
Also, you were very limited to play, meaning only objectives and nothing else
These are just my opinions

EDIT: Forgot about the part he got tiny. That was really without any porpose why he become tiny
The car is a strong dislike. That has nothing to do with a shooter game.
They just wanted to show off some programming skills that is all

While I enjoyed the game, the old school gaming didn't translate well. I found myself bored a couple of times.

Look, some people think that Duke Nukem deserved a modern AAA update, one that would both preserve its wacky in-your-face humor and.. somehow modify and enhance it in a contemporary way the likes only J.J. Abrams could do.

Well, the Developers didn't think that. This is what they thought:
"Hey, we just received this barely started game based on assets that have been re-created 7 times.. and we have a year to complete it .... Let's just do a throw-back to the original.. that's what people want anyway, right?"

And there you have it. We'll get J.J. Abrams for the sequel.

It's nice that you believe that, but what Gearbox got was a game that was almost complete. Theres footage of driving that monster truck thats a few years old. They got a game that had over a decade of time sank in, and they put it out there, it already had too much money invested to make it, and true Duke fans just wanted something, so they put it out there for us, rather than just scraping it.

Gearbox didn't do any level design or anything else for the game, but it's people like you who step in and just assume Gearbox built most of this game that make a bad name for it. You should research your games before buying them, then you won't be surprised next time you buy one, anyone who did a mild amount of research on DNF knew what to expect. It was everyone else that expected the game to be Game of the Year or something, then those people were so upset.

Heres one mans opinion.....

That had me laughing my ass off, lol.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah it was the demo and not "all the hate" that turned me off the full version.

Just picked the game up and I am enjoying it so far, but I do have a few issues. The biggest thing is that they are talking like he is a relic of the past, a cheesy Hollywood tough guy, but then they try to modernize him. Two guns, slower movement speed, a recharging health system, tapping space bar to lift a door, etc. This takes away from the classic duke, I want to be able to outrun rockets, carry 15 guns, finding medkits, etc.

The graphics engine of DNF is 12 years old, thats wrong with it! I played on eyefinity, looks like shit to me. Like the Logitech G19 add do.

No, it's not that old. I think it runs on Unreal Engine 3.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

its actually a Modified Unreal Engine 2.5

but its a minor difference

2.0 2.5 and 3.0 are all capable of the same level of graphics fidelity each release has just made getting to that graphical level easier.

 

[erocker]

I don't mind the graphics. What is wrong with the game is it bored me about 1/4 the way through it. I put it down and I haven't picked it up since.

 

[mab1376]

When I looked in the mirror and jumped in the game his arms didn't move.

That's what started the downward slope of disappointment.

That's how I found it, the game play was fine, simple but fine, the game just got manotines, and I got bored a couple of times.

was all anyone should have expected it to be. it was a faithful adaptation. the same crude humor and simple firefights that made the original. it's just that it took 12 years and we all grew up in that time.

either you have the nostalgia but are too old for the humor, or get the humor but don't know or care who duke nukem is.

I agree with your post. I felt it just needed much more of the crude humor and other little things.
