I'll stick with douche. In my mind, 'dick' doesn't qualify here.

I couldn't care less about the etymological roots of the word but I do agree with the other dissenters that it's an awful insult. Although whilst on the subject of Americani(z)ations, why the hell do they insist on sayin "I could care less" when we would say "couldn't care less". It makes no god-damned sense!

Anyhoo, good news I guess, though the whole Duke-N game subject has become a bit of a joke really.

Gameplay here.

Love that Megadeth song.

Apparently that was the actual pc version they were playing just using pads instead of taking up more space for keyboard\mouse combos.

I wonder how Yahtzee will review it... given that he already has.

I said that on the first page. They were using controllers as it was easier in a demo environment like the one they had.

Didn't read the first page.

I cannot wait.

I don't care if its going to be generic the first one was amazing and the humour was awesome. No doubt that this will be the same given how it starts.

Always bet on Duke! :cool:

Seriously, I know it's not gonna be the second coming, but if it's half the game Duke 3D was it'll be worth buying, and even if it's not it'll certainly be more characterful than the bland brown power-armoured space marine FPSs we get nowadays.

DooMeR · 4 Sep 2010 at 02:55

it will come out 22 12 2012 but then the world will end so we wont get to play it anyways

Just my guess ofc.

Be nice if they'd upload the trailer that the attendees at that show got to see.

liquidex · 4 Sep 2010 at 03:28

Nice. The nostalgia factor is kicking in :cool:

They haven't got an official age rating approval for it and they don't want to risk the potential hassle if they release it online to everyone without a rating. There are questions about whether they can get a "Mature" rating in the USA or whether it would be rated "Adults only" there. Major outlets in the USA refuse to stock AO rated games, so it would be a major sales problem in the biggest market.

It's probably the scene with two women going down on Duke in his home that's causing the questions. Sexual content is a huge no-no in games in the USA. Or maybe it's the giant nude alien monster with three breasts that Duke, after some consideration, says he would have sex with. Or maybe it's the crude language or the interactive strippers. It'll be something sexual that's the problem - it's the USA.

The use of that ridiculous Americanised word says far more about the user than the recipient. If you're going to admonish then at least do it inventively, and in English.

a fine example of douchery!

And on topic, there can't be many left who care about that game either.

I thought he hit the nail on the head. Smile a little, it may do you some good.

:EDIT:

I would highly recomend nostalgic users never play this game for fear of destroying said nostalgia and coming to terms with the truth that the old games you love are no good any more. I have been beaten by this bat many a time and have come to the terms taht they are always better in memory and should be left that way haha. With the exception of DK2 and theme hospital

USA or whether it would be rated "Adults only" there. Major outlets in the USA refuse to stock AO rated games, so it would be a major sales problem in the biggest market.

wow cant believe america has so many game sales compared to europe
game industry revenue
United States $21.33B (2008)
Europe $17.9B (2007)

almost 7 billion of europe is the UK :O

Warn for swearies

Even if it is "Adult Only", if the shops refuse to sell adult games to adult gamers, their loss.

I don't think the many digital distribution outlets will complain.

Besides, those who want this game, will know where to get it so I do not think if it was digital only, too many sales would be lost.
