Being a teenager who has NEVER played a Duke Nukem game, I can honestly say that this is what I expected. Ever since I saw the trailer the game didn't look too good for it's cult status.
Of course from what I understand, this is a 90's mindset(?). If the game was being developed in the 90's then it would've been impressive...in the 90's.

Yes, it's because Doom, Hexen, Star Wars: Dark Forces or several other pre-Duke 3D FPS games ~never~ featured puzzles or backtracking elements to slow down the pace. Might want to play some more classics before you start making bold claims, boy.Triforceformer said:
My point was that DNF has marketed itself as a high action old school shooter, an antithesis of the Call of Duty wannabe, so to speak. And yet it employs several elements of that series~ Oh well.
And no, I haven't played the demo, but thanks to this thing called Youtube there were Let's Plays or simple playthrough footage within hours of it going live, saves me the bother of having to waste the filespace on downloading the thing when it goes public.
Duke Nukem 3d was excellent,and until today with some graphics mods is really good and enjoyable.StealthMonkey43 said:
The demo was really bad it had like 15-20 minutes of actual gameplay in it and all of it was in places that trailers had all ready shown us other stuff was just more trailer pissing around, so nothing new. And while I didn't expect it to be a graphical powerhouse it looked decent at best and like total ass in its worst. Pluss only 2 weapons at once and regenerative health. Seriously we don't need another CoD, MoH or something like that. O and the driving wtf, last time I saw so handling that bad was in Hummer Badlands. Actually only one good thing was that it had a nice crowbar joke in it. I'm really really sad now.
Yes, watching a game is the same thing as playing it. I'll bet the videos you watched didn't even find the HoloDuke or beer, nor show off the detonateable nuke easter egg. Not saying you're not entitled to an opinion on the demo, but you cannot judge a game properly until you've played it for yourself.Pedro The Hutt said:
Now if only Gearbox's and 2K's absolutely insane logic would allow them to actually give a date for when you'd get a chance to try the game for free.
I experienced some graphics glitches,and also there I found a bug:
A pig walked through solid matter like a ghost. He started walking to a wooden wall and he passed through it.

See, that's where the fucking problem lies. It's not that we put it on a pedestal. If anything we were cautiously optimistic about he game to the 10th degree. The problem is that DNF is just some CoD like FPS. And one of the reasons Duke Nukem is still popular is because it isn't SUPPOSED to be some CoD like game. It's supposed to be run and gun.ZombieGenesis said:
We would've been happy to just have more Duke... The big, tough macho man guy who can hold 9+ weapons in his ballsack and block enemy rockets with his face. Unfortunately, we get pussy Duke who can die in 2 seconds and can't hold more than 2 weapons at once.
Honestly, fuck you Gearbox.
yes duke nukem 3d was epic, it was in the golden era of FPS, as was Zero Hour, though planet of the babes was totally a failure, it still lived up to the franchiseStavros Dimou said:
but this? its halo/gears of war with a dukeish setting and realty bad jokes
i mean the old duke joke where cleaver, the joke in here have to have the whole game be part of them and are still pretty simple
Apparently DNF has gone the way of all first person shooters these days. Huh, guess I'll go play painkiller again.

Demo confirmed to be an outdated build. So at the very least, graphical complaints and control issues most likely will not apply to the retail version.
