**Official Duke Nukem Forever Thread**

I mean this type of gameplay got tired back in the Doom days, run down corridor get locked in room with wave after wave then run down another corridor to poorly done set peice.

Are you playing the same game as me? Or even playing the game at all? :confused:

That sounds like you're describing the latest COD game or MoH. There's certainly a lot more than just run and gun if you actually play the game.
 
I should hope it has better GFX 15 years later. A lot of people prefer the DN3D gameplay over the new DNF, DNF is a very casual shooter compared to DN3D and the two gun limit is just stupid, gameplay comparison below.

That's just comparing it to the Demo, which imo isn't a fair representation of what the actual contents of the game are. There's far more to do in the full game than is just revealed in the little tutorial and that short driving/shooting section.

The two gun limit is silly, but it's far from game breaking.
 
Still shocked by all the tears over this.

I'm loving it, plenty of great humour there's a lot of subtle stuff as well as the in your face stuff, I'm guessing people just aren't looking round very hard. The gameplay is simple, but it's actually fun, all the little mini games and things you can pick-up and do are great, I've spent ages playing pin ball alone, don't get that crouching behind a rock shooting your hundredth Russian terrorists in other games.

As for the graphics, they may not be the most up to date, but they're colourful at least the art directions far more interesting to me to all the generic grey modern FPS games that I'm dead bored of.

Given that the majority of shooters that come out atm are all trying to compete for the same territory and out do each other, I'm glad this ones different.



Wait... were you actually under the illusion that they've placed 12 years of work in this finished product, and are therefore disappointed because it's not the second coming of gaming Christ...? :confused:

It's not exactly a secret that it's been restarted several times to keep up with the available technology.



I totally agree with this.....not the greatest game in any way but certainly not the worst either.............and the amount of people thinking that just this took 12 years to develop and release is just ridiculous........I think some peeps need to just play it rather than examine every tiny detail just so they can have a moan about something thats not perfect.
 
Yes I am play it and keep hoping it will improve but it so far isn't, I really wanted it to be good as I played DN3D to death back in the day.
 
The game has been through 3 developers in 13-odd years, were people expecting a masterpiece?
I'm amazed the game even got released at all. Does look like the game has been in storage for a number of years tho, then pulled out, a bit of polish added and then released. Yes, it could have been better, it could have been a lot worse too.
Like most people say, wait for it to come down in price, wait for some mods to be made for it and then get it.

Basically this.

Im playing it but i dont have any desire to actually go back and carry on playing , if anything it makes me just want to play Duke3D again instead as that was an action game rather than this scene-by-scene thing.
 
There was some kind of update today and it seems to have sorted whatever error was causing the game to crash when starting the campaign. Finally get to play the game now :)
 
Couldn't agree more, it's shocking that this is full retail price.

GFX are worse than Doom4 and the post effects are outrageously badly done, gameplay is boring, repetitive and dialog gets old after the first few levels. Let's not get all sentimental becuase it's DN, don't let it blind you from the truth that DN is a poor game.

Out out 10 I give it 3 and I don't recommend it at all until it hits the bargain bin at £5 or less.

i think you mean DOOM 3 mate, because DOOM 4 is the Rage engine and that'll be miles better than this ``old world shooter``

unfortunately this is just an old game and it looked this way in the demo too, because 6 years ago and this game would've been great.

but Serious Sam 3 looks good, in fact; everything that DN isn't

As has been said before...

Cheese with your whine sir?
 


As for Duke's offensiveness, it's barely even worth considering. He's more Jeremy Clarkson than Frankie Boyle, so toothless and desperate in his attempts to seem risqué and reactionary that the only sane response is to roll your eyes.

So true.

The appeal of Duke Nukem lives on. But your time and money would be better spent reliving his iconic past than bearing witness to this gruesomely mangled resurrection.

Great advice.

Graphics dont bother me. I just wanted them to basically have an old skool shooter a remake of DUKE3D but with more pigs :D i dont think DNF is it, like i said before, no health packs, no unlimited guns, enemies are quite sparse and i think some of the enviroments are too open if that makes sense. Also less cut scenes needed and since when can duke not kill friendlies?! :p

A big shame really but I'm just hoping the clever modders out there may be able to tweak DNF to the game that we were hoping for. I just hope something does arise from the mod community between now and when DNF becomes available for £9.99 or less. At that time, I will buy it but definately not right now at full price.

That eurogamer review was spot on IMO.

Worse than Doom 4 eh. :confused:

Funny thing is for all the people whining about the graphics, theres still plenty of us enjoying the game for what it is. A throwback to the older style of shooters. As for the reviews, its hardly suprising that its getting bad reviews, these ******** have been chomping at the bit since it was announced it was coming out to whip out a magnifying glass and nitpick at every single thing. Yet im sure when MW3 comes out with its dated graphics, incredibly linear levels and on rails set pieces, the reviews will be overwhelmingly positive.

indeed :D

A whole different topic, but yeah totally agree with you there. It could be an ok game but its 'CoD' (!!!!!!) so it gets awesome reviews lol. IMO, L4D series wipes the floor with CoD.

This was all those games were ever about, they're known for having linear levels, easy mode kills and on the rails shooting. People don't expect them to be any different, which is why they will get praise, the question to ask is: "Why is Duke trying to emulate them?" Duke was never about any of that, which is where the failure lies.

This is exactly what Dragon Age 2 got stick for as well, people just wanted DA:O with new graphics, a new story, new characters etc etc. and then at least the things which made DA:O so great would have been kept, not some tacked on awful combat system which never belonged in that game and the other consolised features which were implemented. People wanted Duke to be Duke, to live out the glory days and get a real Duke game. Since when does Duke sit behind cover like a little bitch, carrying 2 weapons and wait for his HP to regen? Oh, in a game which bastardizes his name.

People think that content was also cut for future DLC's, and I've gotta agree, didn't they boast that Duke's campaign would be 16 hours or so pre-release? 6-8 hours = 16 hours? That must been a **** load of stuff they cut out from the game. Maybe 2 or 3 DLC's worth right there to nickle and dime your customers that little bit more.
