papermonsters Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I've been watching videos on youtube about it and everyone is saying it's garbage. I was pretty pumped about this game, but I think I'll rent it and save some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinellison Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I played both online and story mode and lets start with online first. You can tell the game took so long to make because the online has the feel of older games like Quake. It has jump pads and is all about getting the power weapons. Now for the story mode I played for probably 1.5-2 hours and it had some funny parts and the shooting parts are fun and entertaining but then you have stupid parts where you are driving in an RC car for an entire level. If you can get through the borrow stupid, time killing parts the fighting parts will probably be worth it. Overall it seems like you are better off renting, rather than buying it.

suchashorttime Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 i'm bummed about this too. but a lot of the negativity i've heard is from people who were expecting Forever to revolutionize something, like 3D did. instead, it seems like they're disappointed in it being too much like 3D. i dont know if i'd actually have a problem with this... who knows.

worlddownfall Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 this looks like it shouldve came out on the 1st xbox. some wii games look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkie Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 sounds like it is exactly what i expected, original duke nukem but with updated graphics... i'll buy it when it drops below $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akross Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Demo now available. I played it a bit last night and deleted it. Pretty much awful and not very fun at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/12/fail_duke_nukem/ This was a great article and will probably explain why this game is such a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appletree Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 wow had no idea about any of that, thanks for the article. now i feel bad for the guy. never kept up with the duke nukem franchise but it is pretty interesting. did not even have an idea that this was the sequel as when i saw the commercials i laughed at how bad it looked.

jerseydave77 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 2K took over the rights after 3D folded. If they haven't ruined the franchise name then look for a better game to come down the line. I actually have no interest in this game but the story of Duke Nukem/3D is the video game equivalent to Chinese Democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appletree Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 that is what i was wondering....who exactly took over after 2009 and made the game that came out recently? i wonder how much it must suck to see the game come out that you worked so hard on and see the quality of it now. its kinda sad to see someone with an idea and desire but no goal or end defined who tried for countless years. i wonder what the whole story is since 2009.

Guest Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Gearbox did a lot of the work once 2K took it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akross Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Gearbox did a lot of the work once 2K took it over. I wish they had spent the time working on a sequel to Borderlands instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 so i finally rented this, and played it up to the first mothership battle. better than i was expecting it to be, but not by much. feels a lot like quake 4. also, i'm playing it on ps3 cos blockbuster was out of the xbox copies. i hate the feel of an FPS on a playstation controller. really wish i was playing this on xbox instead.

almightyseancore Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 i'm not too far in, but i can't say it's "so bad". it's enjoyable. the load times are a tad unbearable, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 quake 4 was the same way. and yeah, i've already found a few confusing parts as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
