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

[Totenkopf]

To be honest, I don't care only about the gameplay or the game itself.
Even if it's just a mediocre game, I'll be getting it alone for the "Legend"-factor.

 

[TheXRatedDodo]

I think it looks utterly hilarious and am looking forward to playing it.

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.

Well, yeah, I know. I hate those threads, too. But what does the phrase "you are never the only one" have to do with that?

Because he asked if 'anyone else' thought yadda-yadda, which roughly translates to 'Am I the only one who' yadda-yadda

Yes, and once again, asking if "I'm the only one blah blah blah" is called hyperbole and it's a perfectly acceptable use of language.

We seem to be falling into a bit of a pattern here.

*** 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.

I mentioned early, I love a lot of modern shooters... but sometimes you want to just fucking run. I know there's this delicate balance of story and game we should should strive for, but sometimes you just want to blow shit up and not be interupted every 10 minutes by a big, unskippable exposition dump. It's a shooter, the emphasis is supposed to be on shooting, not hopping around a locked room waiting for someone to shut the fuck up.

I want a game where I laughing with mad glee at the insane stuff they want me to do. Miniature Duke running around in a RC car... YEATH!

Realism is all well and good, but sometimes you just need a game that remembers its a game and cuts loose.

Of course, I expect a bunch of reviews that criticize it for not being Half-Life or Call Of Duty, because that's what a modern shooter is supposed to be. Yeah, but not the *only* fucking thing it's supposed to be.

 

[Rottweiler]

Me, I am hoping it's very good. It will be criticized either way, but I want it to be good.

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!

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.

I see people just went and ignored my post. Anybody care to explain what kind of idiot would buy a franchise for millions of dollars to make a half assed joke of a game with barely any effort put into it?

Duke is Duke. That's all there is to it. If you expect more you're sorely mistaken.

 

[The Stonker]

Duke is Duke. That's all there is to it. If you expect more you're sorely mistaken.

Always bet on duke.

Yes indeed.

 

[Retardinator]

If you ask me the entire thing looks like a fucking joke.

See, that's the actual point of it? It always was about jokes. Immature ones, yeah, but Cracked.com made a business out of that and take a look at how it worked out for them.

 

[Retardinator]

Fucking captchas making me do a double post...

Hello,

Um, a little late on the uptake bro.

OT: You know what? Fuck that. DN:F is going to be fucking sweet! You know why?

1. It's a Duke Nukem game and

2. It's made by Gearbox. They're pretty good at this buisness.

So yeah, your opinion is wrong.


Edit: Just re-read your OP. You doubt there will be multiplayer? Good. I'll be extremely fucking disappointed if there is.

 

[Continuity]

Dude who seriously cares if it does suck, It's had a 15 year development cycle. Any game that has survived that long deserves some attention, even if it's just to credit the fraility of it's own existence, besides you can always trade it in.

Yeah, like stalker. that was a running joke until it finally turned up, and it wasn't all that bad either.. ok a bit rough about the edges.

Edit: Just re-read your OP. You doubt there will be multiplayer? Good. I'll be extremely fucking disappointed if there is.

I agree, I hate that lots of recent shooters have focused on online play to the exclusion of single player, a few MP games is a good thing but i'm getting nostalgic for that days when the single player was actually the main product you were buying, and it played like it.
