DarthParametric Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 It's simultaneously hilarious and sad when you see it getting slammed with 4s and 5s out of 10 when dross like DA2 pulls 8s and 9s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 When reading reviews it is important to understand one gamer's 4 is another gamer's 10. While you see DA2 8s as high, I find it a little low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Then you sir have very low RPG video game standards. But since we're talking about shooters in this thread - while I don't like and don't understand the two weapon restriction, or lack of the manual save game option in a shooter like Duke, I am finding DNF very enjoyable. I've seen a couple of reviews, but since neither of them was for the PC version, I could care less about their low marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totenkopf Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hmm.....only 2 guns and limited saves, huh. Sign me up anyway. Seriously, I pay little attention to reviewers of video.....games or film. All I expect from Duke is mayhem, dubious 1-liners and a high body count.....oh, yeah, and some sleaze. Sounds like they've succeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hey, I'm happy. It's another Duke Nukem for my jackass fix. Hadn't paid too much attention for all those years they were talking about this. After 4 or 5 years into it and no discernible headway I just said "whatev". "Time to kill" was cool enough for me. I'm looking forward to that bad-influence-anti-hero souped up version of Col Guile going around wreaking havoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediAthos Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'll be picking it up in the next week or two myself. I'm excited, I have fond memories of Duke and am looking forward to reliving them. As far as reviews I don't my much attention to them unless its a game I'm on the fence about buying. Something like this that I definitely want to play I will buy no matter what the reviewers say.

Lynk Former Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 One review you should pay attention to is this one: http://www.twilightlynk.com/2011/06/13/game-spotlight-duke-nukem-forever/ I gave my honest opinion of the game, it's flawed but it's fun if you're willing to let it be fun and aren't all hung up on political correctness and such. Also, I've been as sick as a dog for the past few days so this probably isn't as well written as it should be XD ...kind of hard to achieve when you're virtually coughing up a lung. EDIT: Oh yeah, also... NSFW pic at the bottom of the entry and some harsh language... forgot to mention that, but if you're wanting to play this game then I'm sure ya'll fine with that lol.

DarthParametric Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 For those that find DNF lacking, there is always DN3D: Reloaded to look forward to - a recreation in the Unreal 3 engine officially sanctioned by Gearbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 ...or Duke Nukem 3D for XBLA... or the version you can get from GoG that requires DOSBox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthParametric Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 http://www.dukenukemreloaded.com They are planning on an incremental release approach from what I understand (not too dissimilar to BGR). Last I heard they will be releasing some multiplayer maps soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 So...um...yeah...maybe they were better off NOT releasing this one from what I hear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 So...um...yeah...maybe they were better off NOT releasing this one from what I hear... From what I've played, I'm glad they did take the effort to release it. Also: http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/06/duke-nukem-catches-a-plane-as-only-duke-nukem-can/ lol, awesome.

ChAiNz.2da Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 bleh, screw the "political correct" reviews.. I'm just looking for some classic Nukem fun. If you want reviews, read Lynk's.. it's about the fairest one I've seen around and will let you know what you're in store for. I mean c'mon.. it's Duke Nukem.. not sure what every one else was expecting Anywho, been putting off getting the game till this weekend.. looking forward to getting of work this afternoon for a weekend of kicking ass and one-liners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'm not sure if it's as much about what people were expecting as what they can be seen to be publicly endorsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough... but the video game industry (that's geared towards adults as Nukem's rating suggests) seems to be the least likeliest of places to be a prude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rare month that goes by without some idiot complaining about some aspect of a game that will irrevocably corrupt the world's youth. Even for games that have an adult rating.

And yet a lot of that complaining ends up being counterproductive in the end also. We live in the age of the perenially pissed soundbyte where anyone can grab a megaphone and rip someone else a new one. Usually, though, you just end up piquing other peoples' interest and providing what amounts to free advertising.

DarthParametric Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It was the guy that owned the PR agency 2K was using. They dumped them after the comment, as noted in the update at the start of the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The worse rep this game gets, the more it's likely going to sell. It's probably going to be the Disaster/Date/Scary Movie franchise of video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
