The multiplayer graphics look like they were shot out of someone's ass.

I got it and to me it's a pretty fun game I'm a big Duke fan have been since N64 and this to me is a good addition to the series. I was never looking for it to be a gears of war or call of duty type game.

Honestly, I  ing loved it. I just beat it earlier today. It's really a kickback to old fps, which is something we don't really get. There are obviously some flaws with the mechanics of the game, but I've never really given a crapabout that kind of stuff. I plan on playing it again and I hope to god they continue the franchise. I need more Duke!!! |

Me and a friend each picked up a copy after Midnight at the local Wal-Mart. Went back to his house and played it'll 5am then woke up playing again. After I left I returned my unopened copy and got the $65.51 back. This game was a huge let down to me it lacked SOOOOO much when i thought it was gonna be brought sooooo hard you know. IDK but this game is not how I wanna remember Duke AT ALL! The loading screens are ridiculous to! EVERYTIME you die you wait 5mins before you play again. Reminds me of the old PS1 days.  |

Okay, I picked the game up at 12AM on launch day. I popped it in and have been f*cking LOVING IT! THIS IS DUKE NUKEM. The game, contrary to what many have said, does a good job of capturing the essence of the Duke Nukem franchise. Does it look/play like Halo: Reach? No. Know why? Because it went into development 13 goddamn years ago. The graphics are still good, on par with Half Life 2, a franchise that at times seems to have inspired some of Forever's gameplay elements.
Here's the thing: Duke Nukem Forever is apparently seeing some poor reviews right now, and its important for us to keep in mind that all entertainment is subjective. The problem is that this oldschool style shooter comes to us during a time where the biggest fps franchises are Halo, Gears Of War and Call Of Duty, which are all HUGE departures from original/simple fps games. Unfortunately, these are what all the 13 year-olds are used to, so DNF is instantly labeled as a bad game. We as individuals give people too much credit. People, as a whole, aren't as smart as you may think.
DNF, as far as I'm concerned, is a welcome change. The graphics need some beefing up, but everything is there. Don't compare this awesome game to the likes of Halo or GOW. Simply put: F*ck Halo. F*ck GOW. THIS IS DUKE.

I started playing this yesterday. I'm really enjoying it so far, I think the reviews for it were too harsh. I'm a lifetime Duke Nukem fan so this game takes me back.. "Hail to the king, baby!"  |

my only problem is when you try to fight a boss or try to shoot down the mothership etc, I don't like that they throw so many enemies at you at the same time.. makes it too difficult, probably just me failing but yeah.

That mothership part was a pain in the ass! There's no denying the game mechanics are flawed and the loading times are horrendous, but I enjoy the humor and overall "Dukeness." Some reviews complain about the misogynistic humor and toilet jokes, to which I say why does every character have to politically correct? Obviously what I may find funny someone else doesn't, but so what? |
