Thankfully I live in NA, when the full game comes out I'll get plenty of reviews before deciding if its worth canceling my preorder or not.
The Duke Nukem Forever demo has dropped ladies and gentlemen!

Yeah the guy at my local EB Games said he had no idea what it was either. He rang up his manager and then figured out that Beta Access and First Access are two different things. Got my code, going to redeem it now.MiracleOfSound said:
I had relatively mixed emotions about the demo. I thought the demo was decently fun when I got to shoot the crap out of things and I found the one-liner toilet-humor to be fairly amusing. That vehicle section was fucking ATROCIOUS though. Duke's truck controls like an armadillo on rollerskates on an icy river. Another thing that sort of irked me about the demo (and something I agree with most people on)... regenerating health? Two-weapons system? Sluggish moving speed? Jesus, just because everyone ELSE is hopping on the stupid realism bandwagon doesn't mean YOU have to, Duke. I was expecting some classic, arcadey style shooting game and you gave me THIS.
But all in all, the demo was WAY too damn short and unsatisfying for me to say anything brash about this game. I'm still going to play it when it comes out, only THEN can I say what I think of the game.

Yep did the same thing to me, didnt know I got one until the owner was telling me about itMercurySteam said:
yeah it was crap
FYI if you did not pre-order and confirm you platform for the demo before may 15th, you can not get the demo
its has that 2 weapon system that every mentally retarded developer puts in every game now because of halo, halo must be outlawed. That alone ruined this for me, i hear that people are already making mods for this to remove that, and with any luck so will gearbox, because i pre-ordered for ps3. The game seems to ride completely on retarded jokes and porn, so basically its the internet turned into a shooter.
not going to cancel pre-order, not like there is any better games out there to waist my money on anyway, and lucky my pre-order of infamous 2 comes on Wednesday, not a fail game. also did Yahtzee B.S. us? seems like he never actual reviewed the game, or was it one big joke on us?http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1968-Viewers-Choice-Duke-Nukem-Forever

And that system does work. Better IMO. I'd take Halo's system with a controller over searching on my keyboard for the right button anyday. It's overly complex. I wish I could give the demo a shot so I could give it a critique with no kind of nostalgia interfering.WaaghPowa said:
I always felt it would play best with a Halo style mechanics since they're a nice meeting point between the modern stuff nowadays while keeping some of the good stuff of old without going back to the complete shit that was old FPS's compared to nowadays.
This pretty much how I felt. I hope I won't need to use EB Games' 7 day return policy twice in two months. Brink was awful, and this demo was terribly lacklustre.MiracleOfSound said:
i don't think you guys are only enough to remember the N64 but it had a game called Duke Nukem Zero Hour, you had alot of weapons on that game, way more then two
and turok 2, which should not be confused with a sequal for the resent turok game, used the joy stick to select weapons on a wheel, alot of weapons o.o
its not a console thing, its a halo thing, some where someone thought thats what made halo good, and everyone ran with it :/

If you're referring to the issues with Brink, it was the shitty A.I. that pissed em off the most in combination with the fact that you earned more XP offline, I had no reason to try an online match at all.WaaghPowa said:
I see. There was no lag, technical hiccups, graphical cock-ups or anything like that. The demo was just bad. Don't know what made you think it was an issue with the console.WaaghPowa said:
MiracleOfSound and some others claimed that the game had some technical issues, and since he has yet to clarify what version he was playing all I've had to go on was his profile page which features an Xbox account. So I'm trying to figure out if his problem is on consoles since I had no technical issues at all on PC.MercurySteam said:
