Duke Nukem Forever (Always bet on Duke!)

[Mr. Spencer]

This horseshit came out before Colonial Marines? Crazy.

[Beanovsky Durst]

Borderlands 2 should come next after Colonial Marines I guess... Then we'll talk about the FIVE!

So they were planning something with Proton. It'd be interesting to see him back.

I think Gearbox can get but out in a decent clip. but I'm not expecting to hear anything about him until at least Colonial Marines has been out for a bit.

Although it wouldn't surprise me if they are already planning another game.

I'm having a blast. I wonder how Gearbox will handle the next entry, since that one would truly be their game, not 3DRealms resurrected.

I found a Dead Space engineers corpse in the hive, thought that was funny

Well for starters: (AND DON'T CLICK ON THE SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE GAME, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)

We know that Duke will be President of the US. The 69th president to be exact LOL. And also there's the ditched Dr. Proton comeback that wasn't used for Forever...

I believe that Gearbox can do a great job with the franchise. Just as long as they don't take 15 damn years to do it. I don't want to have 40 years by the time Duke 5 is released!

Oh man, the easter eggs in this game are hilarious.

The companion barrel (portal 2), 47 sleeping with the fishes on the dam (hitman), the green armor that only pussies use (halo), crowbar references (halflife)... I remember trying to find them all on Duke 3D, guess this one still continues with tradition...

[Humor Tumor]

I would agree with that review so far. Just got the game,played a few hours of SP, then tried some Duke Match and somehow got sucked in fairly easily.

It's a fairly fun game.

So let's try to see the glass half full... I think this is a much fairer review of the game:

[Rombie]

I know the source code of DN3D was release years ago, but outside of that I think the game is still purchasable because Take2 still own all the rights to 3DRealms back catalogue.

[Beanovsky Durst]

Fast paced? Dukes walks faster in duke3d than he runs in duke forever...

All right I can give you that one... But the running speed in that era was crazy. Try Doom 1&2 vs Doom 3. You'll feel you're using a tank.

[Darkmoon]

fine...is it really a crime to download freeware? i mean its only duke nukem 3d HD. besides im talking about the demo. you cannot say pirating a demo is illegal.

Demo, no. And any game that is legally free to download is fine. Feel free to check out the rules thread for further details - http://www.the-horror.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8300

What platform did you get it on? I have my Xbox version heading in the mail right now, and I'm hearing that version has got some issues.

Xbox. So far I have seen some SLIGHT screen tearing, but haven't experienced any game breaking issues yet. I'm halfway the game I think, won't go on details for obvious spoilerific nature.

Vector, I can't see why you say this game isn't a "well-played" FPS... The game sure has some "platform" sections, but the combat is there and it's quite good, fast paced, it's not extraordinary but I wouldn't say is bad. Try Darkest of Days, that's a bad, broken FPS.

[riderkid]

Yeah, let's not subtly hint that we download games, because then I have to ban you. Dot tells me to. The broken leg will only keep him out for so long.

[Humor Tumor]

But they did! Not on proper HD though.

What I'm trying to say is that Duke Nukem is being what it's supposed to be, and people are reacting hard because they were expecting a superb narrative masterpiece like Bioshock... You get to see tits, blow things up, spit one liners. There are things I don't like, for example having only two weapons: WTF is that crap, Duke's about being a badass having an arsenal and using it to obliterate aliens!

It's not perfect, but it's not as bad as the critics are making it. My guess is that they we're expecting something greater due to the development hell that plagued this game.
