Who isn't going to buy the Duke?

[Celtic_Kerr]

I think everybody is gonna buy it, even if it's rated AO.

No, ADULTS will buy it. it's illegal to sell an Adults Only game to anyone under the age of 18 in Canada. If mommy wants to buy it for junior, great! Not his problem. But not EVERYONE will buy it.

I have never actually seen an AO game in a US store then again I have never looked.

AO is rare in the states. Even in Canada you see it rarely, but even a Mature game cannot be sold to teens

The game is not going to be anything special, so I really see no point in picking it up. It's been vaporware since it was announced. Once it comes out it'll just graduate into being shovelware.

I'm not interested in Duke Nukem and quite frankly, I don't understand the appeal it supposedly has. I'll spend my money on something else.

I will buy it on release day (hell, if there's a collectors edition I will get that too). I remember playing DN3D on a Pentium 133Mhz machine running Windows 95. During the era of Doom clones Duke Nukem stood out by featuring vertical aiming, dynamic environments (earthquakes, environmental explosions, etc), carried items, interactive objects, jetpacks, and character. Plus the whole game was a huge parody. From what I've seen of the demo it looks like DNF will keep with this tradition.

tl:dr DN3D was a revolutionary game for its time and DNF is shaping up to be a worthy successor.

I will never buy this game. It completely does not interest me.

As nice as it is to see the DUKE (capital letters necessary)coming out, I am part of the age demographic that missed the original games when they came out so the appeal and anticipation is lessened, and being female the type of audience DUKE aims for probably isn't me.

So I'm not holding my breath, ill just see how the reviews land, and what else is arriving on shelves the same week.

I will not buy it until it is reviewed. If the reviews are positive then I may buy it. If the reviews are bad then I will not buy it.

 

[Vilhjalmir]

It's a rent-game in my opinion as of now.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I am not a fan. I played one years ago, and it just wasn't fun.

I will not be buying this.

That's my story and reason too.

 

[SilverUchiha]

I plan on getting it. Mostly as a trophy piece to say, "Yes. It did actually come out." Good or not? Can't say. Looks interesting and I wouldn't mind actually trying something from the Duke Nukem universe.

In all absolute honesty, who ISN'T going to buy it?

Me. I've never had any interest in Duke Nukem.

If it's funny enough to make me get over the misogynistic, chauvinist, infantile nature of the game, then I might get it.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

Also, watch the latest Extra credits video for a good answer to why a lot of people will not buy that game.

That's my reason too...

 

[Agayek]

Haven't decided yet. I have a key for the first access demo thing through Steam, so I'm definitely going to check that out, but until then I can't say whether or not I'm going to actually buy it.

 

[jultub]

I will not buy it. Doesn't look like anything new or creative from what I've seen. Duke Nukem has no nostalgia value for me. So to me it looks like a generic game in a genre far too plagued by generic stuff already. And sadly I do not find his puns amusing.

So why should I buy it?

 

[Prof.Wood]

Played the original, didn't like it so not me.

 

[Sarahcidal]

I grew up playing Duke Nukem (responsible parenting.. I was 7 when the first one was released lol) ...cannot wait to get this one!

 

[lacktheknack]

No freaking way I'm buying it. You don't support thirteen years worth of torture (even though I sat off to the side and taunted the rest of you guys for the last eight years or so).

 

[Argtee]

I've never played a Duke Nukem game. I've seen some gameplay footage of Duke Nukem 3D and thought it looked kind of fun, but I still don't know why people waited...

*checks wikipedia*

...thirteen years for Duke Nukem Forever. It just seems like a VERY long time to wait for one game...
