First impressions
After staying up all night to play Duke Nukem as soon as it was released here in Aus (Midnight release also unsure if it has been released elsewhere aswell) I am extremely happy to say that after 2 hours of solid gameplay, so far it has been amazing. The demo for first access members doesnt even come close to the full game, during the demo I found myself very bored throughout the second level and began to doubt my pre-purchase. After playing the full game though the gameplay feels much more fluent, there is a constant stream of one liners that are hulerious and although the graphics do feel a little bit dated they are in no way anything noticable while playing. So far I have found one bug where I got stuck in the wall and had to reload the last checkpoint but apart from that it has been very bug free.

Pros -
Addicting gameplay
Very emmersive
(half) return to old school shooters
Extremely funny

Cons -
2 weapon limit (feels out of place when there is such a wide variety of guns.)
Average graphics

Overall I must say I am very impressed after begining the game half heartedly and expecting a let down especially since the demo was so dissapointing. Now I am going to bed because it is 3 am here and I am exaughsted.

For some reason, I had a hard time taking your post seriously after you used the non-word "hulerious"

Please at least sort of proofread, people!

Other than that... I'm getting FEAR 3 next week, I think it looks to be right up my alley. This game did too until I heard "two weapons, health regen." I'm normally a defender of health regen, as I happen to like it slightly better than health bars, but it doesn't belong in Duke. Not at all.
It doesn't bother you that this guy has 6 posts?
Furthermore, look at this mate with 1 message, why do you think he just posted this?
Probably a marketing scheme.

I predict Yahtzee is going to get pissed now that he has to re-do the joke review. Preferably by sawing the game's balls off.

Yeah he's really going to unleash all of his talent and nerves on this game I think... :p
