"Hey long awaited demo, I'm real happy for you, and Ima let you finish, but Duke Nukem Forever had one of the longest development periods of all time!"
Pitchford in a nutshell. Christ, he was annoying.

True, but I still enjoyed what I played and saw out of Eat Lead. It was unpolished, but I'm a nominal PC gamer. I'm used to enjoying what I get out of unpolished, buggy imports from Germany. Like Gothic!stinkychops said:
Ehhhh, I think I'll pass.
I never played any Duke Nukem games, mostly because I was a bit young at the time (My slightly younger sister is the same age as the development time of DNF). Honestly, I don't really find the humor in the video to be that funny, nor the gameplay that exciting.
I mean, great, I get to watch some guy pee for 30 seconds... that's.... great? I know the whole point of DN is to be "silly" funny, which I usually enjoy, but just not here.
Actually, the entire game just seems to be an "adult" version of Ratchet and Clank, the combat especially which looked like the entire game is strafing and holding down the shoot button.

Heh.. yeah, this is about right. Considering back then, gameplay was limited to just running and gunning, really. I guess when it comes down to it, these days, everyone wants to put everything into a game.
For now, I'll be glad for something of a 'classic shooter' as it were.

Apart from some dick jokes, was there anything here to write home about? I know some of the posters here actually ARE thirteen years old, but if you're not, I don't see anything worth buying here.
...that was horrible. so glad they took the time to make fun of themselves and practicly live up to Yahtzee's review. DEFINATELY *not* ganna be the best game ever!
Eh, not a huge fan of the look of it. Of course I missed most of the series, the only one I played was the original in 2d which is really what I was hoping for here. So meh just another shooter yippee. Ah well I'm guessing I'm not the target market any ways.
Regerating health isn't all that bad in and of itself, only what it often leads to, which is boring cover based combat.Cynical skeptic said:
It should also be noted that the label on it is "Ego" as opposed to "Health", so it wouldn't surprise me if it only regenerated while actually killing things, or special events like field goaling a giant monster eyeball as a sort of out of combat med-pack.
Thus, you wouldn't have the 'Shoot, hide, regenerate, repeat' cycle going on.
Additionally, the slow moving projectiles, relatively empty combat zone, explosive payloads, and presumably unstoppable ground attack make cover based shooting look a lot less attractive than actually weaving between the shots.
