Duke Nukem Forever

crazyeyesreaper · Jun 10, 2011

which is from one reviewer.

I never take one review as gospel as for every reviewer that hates a game another loves it, its the whole point of games, i love how he says the game is for 12 year olds but completely side steps the giant 3 titted monster and all the strippers lolz. review seems to be kind of fail to me.

I think hes suggesting it has the humour of a 12 year old.

I hope that he isn't playing Duke Nukem for the deep character development.

Duke Nuken isn't any different than a "B" movie.

Sometimes it's the stupidity and over-the-top crap that's the point. Not everyone can appreciate that.

Obviously not but throwing poop? You should read the review it goes into detail.

"There are problems with laggy aiming, dumb-as-doornails enemies, weak level design and even weaker presentation. There are puzzles that might have seemed "cool" way back when with their simple seesaw physics, but today they mainly feel like ways to artificially extend the game's length, which comes in at just about 10-12 hours on normal difficulty."

I think the reviewer has some fair points but they even said a lot of people will play it simply because its Duke Nukem Forever regardless.

IGN Reviewer hasn't finished the game yet but gave a review of it so far and also slated the game.
http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/117/1175194p1.html
"I'm still playing through at this point for review, so maybe Duke Nukem Forever will get better further in. So far, there's little worthy of praise. It's a clumsily put together game that, even when it tries hard to deliver exciting action set pieces like fights against giant bosses, feels dull and derivative. The only impressive part about Duke Nukem Forever is that it exists as a finished game."

The UKs Guardian also slated it

PC Gamer reviewer seemed to like it! I think the overall feeling they gave was it kept what made the original great and was fun.

the problem is /was that people expected too much out of this game

TheMailMan78 · Jun 10, 2011

Bulletstorm sucked.

crazyeyesreaper · Jun 10, 2011

i cant wait to get my hands on the game ill do a proper review soon as i can play it with glorious screen shots and the whole works, i played the demo and while it was unpolished it was still fun, and thats what it comes down to is the game fun? I am willing to bet it will be.

It should also be mentioned ive only seen reviews playing the Console versions, not the PC version yet. but i havent looked that hard really. but seems most are using the 360 version for reviews.

I got the Balls of Steel edition in the mail today. I kinda expected the bust to be... bigger. Anyways. I can't play it right away tho. Need to go shopping first... new GPU (finally), and another SSD. I ran out of space. Shesh. Hopefully the Zotac Amp 580 I'm eyeing will do a good job.

Why? I've been out of the market since the Radeon 5000 series came out. Not really up to date with the current generation.

cadaveca · Jun 10, 2011

You current card will probably play it fine. It's a console port, IMHO, so you don't need much.

Really. Well, I'll have a look then how it looks first. Still need the hard drive space tho :rolleyes:

Ya it definitely won't hammer down on your hardware very much. But hey, a new video card is never a bad thing.

Yeah the (remaining) 4890 still holds up pretty good. Altho its a shame my 5850 died. Well and tbh The two games I'm playing atm are Portal 2 and DNF, so 400 buks for a new GPU... its not that justified. Maybe later down the road.

So wrong, yet so right <-- or what Duke says :laugh:

Got milk?

Wrigleyvillain · Jun 10, 2011

I can't even figure out what that is exactly and something tells me it's better this way.

Duke's bust isn't big enough, eh? Well, what about the 7-inch action figure then? :laugh:

I've got that Zotac card and can recommend it. It's just a reference design with a higher clock and Zotac badge slapped on it, but it works very well and doesn't make too much noise. If you can get it at a good price, then it's a bit of a bargain.

I'm not that into video game figurines. But a lifesized bust, was that too much to ask?

Its actually the cheapest 580 available here, believe it or not.

I was kinda making a gag. It's safer not to explain...

Then go get it! :toast:

Do it before the price goes up (it jumps around on Amazon like crazy). I like Zotac cards for the colour scheme, if nothing else. Also, more importantly, they have a generous 5 year warranty if you register the card on their website. My obsolete GTX 285 is still under warranty, lol.

Significant annoyances with DNF

1 Checkpoints

I mentioned previously that it used checkpoints, but didn't realize the significance of it using only one checkpoint.

I just played a great Boss level that I wanted to play again, slightly differently. Nope, no chance, it made a new checkpoint and there isn't an earlier one to go back to. This is really frustrating. :banghead:

2 Game difficulty

When I started single player, I didn't know what to expect, so I set the difficulty to easy. Thing is, it's really easy. Not much of a challenge at all. It's ok for a bit, but then you want to level up and give the Duke something to get his teeth into.

Except you can't. I'd have to restart the single player campaign from scratch to reset the difficulty. How fucking lame is that! :mad:

Now, it may be a console port and suffer severe consolitis, but these two things are just basic programming, which makes no difference which platform a game is developed for. Why dumb it down to such a ridiculous level?

Basically, DNF has good gameplay and is fun, but it really does need a patch to sort out these two issues and a couple of others I've pointed out.
