Does anyone else think Duke Nukem Forever will suck balls of steel?

[KenzS]

Duke Nukem is nothing but pure comical satire. If you are looking for an epic space shooter then you're in wrong genre.

That being said, I can't wait for it!

I am glad that an over the top FPS is getting released. All this drama FPS games are just so boring and fun but that's just my.

I want the old system back where you could carry enough weapons to outweapon a small army.

Fuck serious and realistic FPS games! I want my Over the top games back damn it!

 

[Fuselage]

For me it looks ultra super fun. It is stupid, loud, violent, and crude and I wouldnt want Duke any other way. The one thing that I do not like is that it seems that you can only carry two guns which is a shame because I want my piss weak starting pistol next to my nuke launcher.

They should have incorperated triple wielding.

How would you hold your third gun? With your penis?

If someone were to do that, Duke would be the one.

I hear they're going to add that in later as DLC.

BEST.
DLC.
EVER.[/h4]

Next DLC adds the Ability to play as Batman and Garrus form the popular Batman and Mass Effect Series respectively, Naturally, This will creat the best game ever with Batmans Special Moves including saying "I'm batman." and Garrus's moves being Garrus.

Again you are one of these people that are thinking too much about the game. Its meant to be stupid, a joke of everything, bloody, over the top fun. I don't want to play games that turn into dramatic crap all the damn time. I want to jump in, feel like a God, murder the fuck out of everything, and still be able to get laid at the end of the day. Games like these are meant to be enjoyed. There is nothing to think about. Its just shoot and kill and watch the chaos unfold, simple isn't it?

Well said, good sir ;D

 

[Macrobstar]

Why do people bring up the development time? Its not like people have been literally sitting around waiting for it,

 

[Anarchemitis]

I think Duke Nukem is a self-entitled idiotic franchise which demeans games by reducing development of interesting concepts down to pandering to lower than the lowest imaginable common denominator. I hope it bombs in a catastrophic fashion from which it will never recover. I hope it suffers a painful demise which would envy E.T. for the Atari. I loathe it.

Financial success or failure either way, I certainly hope it will mark the end of the adolescence of gaming, so that the medium can grow and expand, developing beyond boobs and gun and explosions, and onto greater unforeseen things, heralding a new age of games.

Hello,
I got the escapist today, and I saw something that made me die inside... Duke Nukem Forever was going to be realeased. I was pissed. How could they do such a thing??? But my anger about how the biggest videogame joke in history was about to die soon faded, and I proceded to watch the trailer. And I was not impressed by any aspect what so ever. The graphics were meh, the gameplay looked complicated and boring, and it seems to emphasis tits and male genitalia too much. If you ask me the entire thing looks like a fucking joke. It is my belief that the 9 guys still working on it just rushed through and put as many tits in the game as possible. (Not that I'm saying tits are bad, but they are only nice to a certain extent, espically in video games.)

But lets seriously look at this,
I doubt there will be online, and just a 10 hour rushed through campeign. The gameplay looked clunky as well. If you asked me, I would say they need to take another year on the game, and then realease it. But the thing I really hate about it is how it is selling for full price. I would never by it, unless the game is exceptional in every aspect.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. But to me, the game should have remained like it's name. DNF.


So, post what you think the game will be like, fellow escapist!

I see you don't know much about the game, so I really wonder why you care?
More to the point why are you angry they are releasing it?
You do know it's not mandatory to play it?

I think it will be the next Duke Nukem, in other words it is not Halo/CoD/GoW/... brown and browner gritty "realism", it is simply juvenile oldschool shooter fun.

 

[Shycte]

I don't expect the new American Pie movie to win Best Picture but again, neither did the ones who made it.

See my point?

 

[Beryl77]

I doubt that it will live up to the hype, after 12 years that's pretty much impossible butI'm still looking forward to it. It's not supposed to be taken all that serious, I think the game knows that it will be medicore, unlike the CoD franchise. DNF doesn't try to do something new and groundbreaking or to be filled with innocation and intellectual thought. The game doesn't try to be something that it's not. It's over-the-top, mindless, and utterly self-indulgent and that is the exact reason why I'll surely enjoy it.

Besides, any game that mocks the Master Chief [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/02/12/duke-nukem-slams-master-chief.aspx] can't be such a bad game.

Oh, sure. Gearbox purchased the Duke Nukem Franchise for millions of dollars to do a half-assed, joke game. Really.

They would not go through all this trouble if they aren't even going to bother trying to make the game good. It would just be retarded. Have some faith. I'd say "Always count on Duke" if the quote wasn't spammed everywhere over 900,000,000 times.

 

[The Stonker]

I'm going to kick your ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum.

I'm looking forward to it. And I will make sweet love to it on my Xbox 360.

*** Nonsense Removal Script Complete: All total nonsense removed ***

Have you ever played Duke Nukem 3D before? It sounds like you haven't...

EDIT: Never mind a lot of Halo shit and Gears of Snore under that gamer-tag, I'm positive you don't know what a good game is now.

Countless times, taking into concideration that nothing implemented story or realism back then, I loved it. Though now, it seems dumb.
EDIT: Knowing you probably haven't even played either of those great games, I will just ignore your edit rather than being a jerk like you.

Oops wrong again, I have played both of those desperately pathetic games. Sadly I wasted time on Halo and more on Halo 2 thinking there might be something redeemable in the king of mediocrity's games, sadly I was wrong. I have also wasted dollars ($5 in fact)for the ultimately boring and ridiculous Gears of Snore, only an hour or two before I got sick of chest high walls and the circus clown like characters in it. So you are on a role of being incorrect, keep em coming kid. Also now we know you never played Duke, so you know nothing of what you yap about. As a side note it is consideration not that mess you spelled up there.

Again, I would steep to your level, but I am not an asshat like you. In my openion, you have no taste if you think a game trying to make everyone as immature as they were 15 will be smiled upon by the rest of media consumers, your the wrong one. How come games like Half Life sold 6 times more than Duke Nukem 3D? Because the game was actually playable on a "I am not a troll/kid" level.

Sometimes video games are about having FUN. Yes! I support the reasoning that video games are art, but really? Don't forget fun man... It's pure liquid fun in a new form, if you want your generic COD games then go for them, be free. I will play my ultra tastic Duke nukem forever, while sipping mountain dew and shooting a monster's tits off with my pistol.
Aaaah the good old days.

Rule 1 of The Escapist:

You are NEVER the only one

It's called hyperbole and it's a perfectly acceptable use of language. Get used to it.

Anyway, I really don't have an opinion on the matter. Never played the originals, so I really don't have a stake in the new one. I mean, I HOPE it's good. But that's mainly because I'm sick of these almost-realistic shooters.

Yes, I know, yet there are always threads on upcoming hyped-up games asking the same thing, along with baseless reasons as to why it will suck.

 

[ultimateownage]

it seems really silly for todays gaming.

What, so all games released today have to be boring brown shit fests? Congratulations, you've missed the entire point of Duke Nukem.
Oh yeah, and your name is Masta Chief Pwn. No offence but with that kind of name all I can imagine is a 10 year old obsessed with Halo.

 

[CLEVERSLEAZOID]

It will be a washed up, brown FPS with possibly more weapons than teeth, and a load of tits. There are 3 reasons a person would buy this:
1) Curious about the fuss.
2) Ejaculates at the mere mention of Duke Nukem/Fan.
3) Tits.

So what about the option of just being a fan of the franchise?
Why are options 2+3 derogatory for anyone who might just be a long term fan of the franchise? I've been playing 3D since as long as I remember, doesn't mean I 'ejaculate' at the mere mention of the Duke.

Stop trying to flamebait kk?

I found the game funny, espically for it's time. But now that everyone has grown up, I think it will fall into the immature audiance section.

No. Just straight up NO. I'm 25. I played Duke when I was a kid. Back then, yeah, it was naughty, there were tits and the main character swore a lot. That was the appeal back then, plus the fact it was my FIRST FPS. I still find 3D a good laugh to play to this day [I bought it on Xboxlive just to relive the memories], and I still chuckle at his one liners. Maturity has nothing to do with it.


And as for ontopic?

l2grammar before you go on a rage about a game that's been in dev for 14 years. You really aren't helping articulate your post and you are making yourself sound very silly.

But lets seriously look at this,
I doubt there will be online, and just a 10 hour rushed through campeign. The gameplay looked clunky as well. If you asked me, I would say they need to take another year on the game, and then realease it. But the thing I really hate about it is how it is selling for full price. I would never by it, unless the game is exceptional in every aspect.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. But to me, the game should have remained like it's name. DNF.

A 10 hour rushed campaign? So, pretty much like the Call of Duty games? All they pinned their hopes on was that enough people would be boring and repetitive enough to just keep playing the same handful of maps over and over and over and over again in their below par Multiplayer modes.

Keep it in dev another year? 14 is more than enough, kthx. And you hate how they are selling it at full price? ITS A VIDEO GAME. What, you expect them to charge Xboxlive Arcade points for it? Seriously, grow up and get real, this seems like a completely un-warranted, badly thought out trolling attempt.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Seeing as how I loved Doom, Painkiller and Duke Nukem 3D, I think I'll like DNF. I think this is gonna be a good time for FPS's. Duke Nukem Forever, Serious Sam 3, and Bulletstorm. Three games that lose the whole super realistic "Take me seriously" story, and give us some mindless fun. Sometimes we need a break from all the seriousness and indulge in some monster genocide fun.

If I may quote Yahtzee on this: "It's just you, some guns, and the entire population of Murdertown between you and where you need to be. It's pure genocidal fun, which many game developers seem to think is somehow beneath them."

 

[WildFire15]

I think it's going to be entertaining, definatly more appealing then yet another 'realistic' shooter. Will it set the world alite? God no, but you can bet Fox News will say something about it.

 

[Zeema]

It just seems to me that Duke will be a Sexist Wanker Arsehole
