Played it on my friends Xbox 360. Despite the load times...I'm buying it. It is what I expected it to be...FUN!

I did on several occasions. Its just that for every 10 you set maybe 1 would be used. The enemy were surprisingly smart at running around them in wide doorways where I dropped them in the middle for the best chance to hit them.teh_Canape said:
Pipe bombs, Devastator and the Shotgun. Sorted =P
Yeah thats cool man, I wasn't taking a self righteous swing at you by implying you got offended.Furioso said:
Just meant that if you actually looked at it as a serious shooter then you had ruined it for yourself =P
I mean the intro level was actually a homage from an older game, it was the final boss haha.
The part where he says "Those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride," was actually the VERY 1st bit of dialogue at the VERY start of the 1st game and it was actually why Duke utterly wrecked their invasion.
He didn't care about them invading his home world he just wanted his ride avenged =P
OT:
I personally loved the shots he takes at other games / companies:
"Duke we have your Green power armour,"
*Blatant Molinjr Mk4 armour in truck*
"Power armour is for pussies!"
*Having completed the puzzle with the steam pipes*
"Man I hate Valve Puzzles,"
etc etc
Oh and:

pipebombs... mmhhhDragunai said:
they were by far the most fun weapons to use in the game
perfect for taking down jet captains and blowing them in the face of the Octobrains
I would buy a sequel if it only had pipebombs
the shotgun was pretty fun too, it felt really satisfying placing a shell on the berserk pig cops
too bad it only had 2 weapons limit, I accidentally dropped Duke's golden pistol and never got it back until the final boss
which I defeated using the golden pistol and the RPG/Devastator
Exactly...it's one thing to have crude humor or sexual humor...but this....this is just horrifying. It scares me to think that anyone could ever find that funny. That anyone could defend this...this....it blows my mind.Internet Kraken said:
I know it's just a game but really. As gamers as humans...as we just say no to this please?
This makes Silent Hill look quaint.
((then again I've been shouted down here and called 'conservative' (which I am not) for even daring to think that there is anything wrong with this...it's nice to see that I'm not the only man here who's seeing it as wrong.))
Being conservative has nothing to do with pointing out how fucked up that particular sequence is. I mean, it's not just bad becuase you might think rape jokes are offensive. It's bad becuase it's a horribly jarring tonal shift. This is a game where you shrink yourself in a burger joint to shoot tiny alien pigs. You go from that to graphically detailed body horror mixed with rape jokes and wall tit jokes. It's a complete fucking mess and I'm not even sure what it's trying to be at this point. It does highlight one thing though; Duke Nukem was trying to incorporate way to many elements of different games into one and you end up with this abomination.Alucard788 said:
See for me the shotgun was all I needed. I simply ran into the face of the enemy and blew it off. I have my mouse on super sensitive so I can just tap it and have a shot on the pigs face =Pteh_Canape said:
I still giggle when the pipe bomb goes off to the car alarms too but in all honesty I think the whole car key remote detonator is one of the most well thought out non military hardware design in any game that used pipe bombs (bar L4D)
It's dumb. Combines the worst of 199X's gamedesign (Having to kill all waves of enemys before you can open a door, shoot and strafe bossfights) with the worst of today's gamedesign (TWO Carriable weapons? Replenishing Health and QTEs) and is as unfunny as Drawn Together (if you are not 2feet high. Duke's helium voice and the kind of interesting Leveldesign in those moments are still nice). The never before seen interactivity is a lie after the first levels.
yeah, it gave it a "last-time-crafted" feelDragunai said:
like in L4D the pipebomb having a smoke alarm connected to the fuse to alarm the hordes
still, golden pistol+shotgun+pipebombs was all I could ever want in that game
hell, I literally finished the game with the shotgun I picked up in the Lady Killer casino (as in, never dropped it for any weapon)
I played the demo and thank god I did, did not enjoy myself at all. Terrible terrible game.
The original Duke 3D was my second FPS game after Doom and I loved it, my first online competitive gaming experience was with Duke aaaaand I dunno, DNF just did not measure up in my eyes in any respect, crappy pacing, far far too linear, only 2 fucking weapons at once, fine in any other "more realistic" game, but in fucking duke fucking nukem? (guess which part annoyed me the most
) and the "humour", jeebus h chrust, I don't even think 12 year old me would find it all that funny.
I was wondering, of those, like me, who hate this game, how many played the original duke 3d?

I played the game in its entirety, not because I liked it but because I feel responsible to play a game completely before judging it.
I did not like it. The humor was vulgar and distasteful, not a fan of gross-out humor. Then there's the previously mentioned Hive level, which is just filled with mood whiplash.
The gameplay itself wasn't very fun either. Felt too much like a myriad of other FPS's I've played. Nothing really special.
In the end, the game wasn't terrible, but more boring than anything.
Note, I've never played any other Duke Nukem game, so that may factor into my opinion.

Haven't played it yet. And based on the reviews it sure as hell isn't worth $50. But with bad reviews comes price drops. And the worse it gets the more eager I am to see how bad it actually is.
I must stress that I haven't actually played it I have seen some Let's plays of it and it actually seems, well ok, it seems mediocre serviceable but not special an anyway unless you like the humor.... I don't.
In the three hours I've seen:
There is no music. The keyboard prompts for scripted events don't display what keys I'm supposed to press. The lights don't work. There's graphical artifacts everywhere. There have been a total of three actual gunfights, between which there's been a few interesting things, but mostly empty rooms. The game isn't finished and is DEFINITELY not worth $60.

OT: Looks like shit, plays like it (from the demo), shitty jokes[footnote]You can have smart-dumb jokes, and they are funny. DNF has stupid-stupid jokes, and they are not.[/footnote], no interest.
It's the new Dragon Age 2/Crysis 2, people like to ***** about something, especially here on The Escapist and unfortuanetly, don't know how to use the search button or are too lazy to use it. It's part of the internet.Pearwood said:
All I can say is Thank God the pigs have 1 shotgun for every 3 spawns =Pteh_Canape said:
Basically turns into limitless ammo.
I kept cycling weapons as I wanted to try them all but I seem to at any point always have a shotgun on me. Just a decent weapon. Not sure what its like in multi as I havent tried it yet.
