Duke gets a release date

Just played demo and it pretty bad....really pretty bad....

It is bad, indeed.

What a shame.

Care to explain? I'm just not seeing anything at all bad about it. Twisted Duke humour, massive explosions, wise-cracks taking the pee out of other games "I could use a crowbar right about now!" :D

Anyone know what time it unlocks? Worth taking Saturday off?

edit: Friday, I don't work Saturdays, stupid Monday mornings!

I'm wondering this myself - stupid Steam date timings! Might just wait until Saturday to play it.
 
Just played the demo myself and I must say I don't see why some people are moaning.
Graphics are not that important, you can distinguish who's Duke and who's the enemy. If graphics mattered to people, games like Terraria, Minecraft and Bioschock 2 would not have sold that well:rolleyes:.
First level was fantastic, second level sorta sucked as it felt a bit empty but I'm sure there will be a few levels in the full version that make up for it.
People tend to forget that 3dRealms worked for over A DECADE on this game, from what Gearbox have been saying they spent hundreds of hours just getting the game stable. I, along with many others, knew this game would never live up to the hype.
As for having 2 weapons only, many other successful games use it and I didn't find it detrimental to my enjoyment of the demo.
I'm sure Gearbox was fully aware of the piece of dirt they'd been handed from 3DRealms and that unless the game was put out asap it would spell the end of Duke Nukem. After Forever I'm sure a much better Duke game will be coming out.
Still betting on Duke and can't wait to play the full version.

If graphics didn't matter to other people, they wouldn't come on forums like this moaning about them being rubbish.

You're comparing 5-10 quid sanbox indie games to arguably the most anticipated first person shooter of the century so far - something thats supposedly been in the works from a big developer for over a decade and had millions of dollars pumped into it, so yes...people expected better graphics.

I wouldn't say Bioshock 2 is not a indie game...
Fact of the matter is that way to many people expected the second coming with this game, both in terms of gameplay and graphics. We've known about the graphics of the game for over a year now and people still act surprised that they aren't at the Crysis level. I've been following this game for a decade now and I knew it would not live up to the hype, I fully blame 3drealms for not getting the game out 5 years ago when it would still have mattered. But fact is, I enjoyed the demo and I will be purchasing the game on release day. God knows it can only be a better experience than MW2.:p
 
Enjoyed the demo very much.

Anyone else awaiting the collectors edition?

I am a sucker for collectors editions and it does not look too bad and the fact it activates on Steam was a winner.
 
£40 from the place with the doggy and the gramophone. :)

I think they're sold out of the PC version now, they want £65 for the console BoS edition though.

Yeah, was gonna get it from there but its not listed anymore, had to order it from the rainforest. Meh for the sake of a tenner who cars. :) Still listed as estimated delivery date this friday, ordered it business class next day to be sure of it.

Tempted to wait before getting this to see exactly what the review sites and metacritic + forum users think of it. Its a game I've been waiting for but after playing the demo, I'm not sure of what I'd be actually getting lol.
 
I'm waiting too.. Its fishy that there are no reviews out there mefinks. And to get people to preorder just to be able to play the demo sucks nads imho. *Waits*

True, I didn't have to preorder to play the demo though due to owning borderlands via steam from ages ago. I agree its abit odd theres no reviews yet also :S
