Why Duke Nukem Forever didn't completely suck

VGW: I let my assessment of the gaming experience marinate in my mind over the course of the week of release, including the now infamous tweet by Jim Redner of the Redner Group, and decided that my 14 years of waiting compelled me to think that one playthrough of the title was not enough for me. I owed Duke and the team that worked to get his latest adventure in my hands more. So, the Thursday following release, I decided to plug back into the delirious world of Duke Nukem Forever one more time.

DNF is for people that played 90s shooters and enjoyed it. Kids will never understand good oldschool games.

SilentNegotiator5446d ago (Edited 5446d ago )

DNF is NOT like good 90s shooters.

Krimmson5446d ago

For starters, you're playing it on a console. If you're going to play an actual Duke Nukem FPS, do it right. Play it on the PC.

Ravens205446d ago

Well i'm having fun with it, only because I rented from redbox for $2. If I had payed $60 I would've been very disappointed lol.

SageHonor5446d ago

At the end of the day its all opinion. Unfortunately for 90% of the people who have played it.... they all said it sucks

femshep5446d ago

how can anyone be mad with an N64 game that dosn't take itself seriously

shows how greedy gamers are now a days HAS to be EXACTLY like this or else its bad......when really it should be is this fun amusing? yes good

but no has to be prefect graphics call of duty gameplay no story what so ever....cause gamers nowadays don't know what real games are anymore....Duke has never been a serious game but of course people who did play it know that

OhMyGandhi5446d ago

@ femshep

of course, the brilliance of the game, it's witty dialogue, and deep meaning outmatch the average mind.

you gotta be kidding me.
if you think that for one second, that you're the only one who "gets" it.

then, unfortunately, the joke is on you.

femshep5446d ago

nah i know there are some intelligent people out there but like 90% of the people of N4G 90% of gamers today are trolls or savages

maybe hard to accept but its true

Thrawn455446d ago

Amen femshep... see my post below I am enjoying Duke Forever so far!

Duke Nukem has always been a garbage series, Forever is no exception. Deal with it.

God damn Megadeth Duke Nukem anthem is the best.

Snookies121339d ago

It is pretty amazing, I remember being so hyped that they covered the Duke theme back when it happened haha. I still quite enjoyed Forever though personally.

Venoxn4g1338d ago

It is great, you should check out Eric Calderone - Duke Nukem meets metal .. thats proper as well

"so wrong yet so right"

Only a few will know what Im talking about lol :D

porkChop1381d ago

Wow, that advanced lighting makes a huge difference to the visuals. I get that Gearbox tried to slap everything together and release a finished product. But it seems like they cut out a lot of content that would have made the experience more enjoyable. That's a shame.

ZycoFox1380d ago

Nerfed due to consoles.. and not the first time it has happened.

-Foxtrot1381d ago

Kind of amazing the difference a lighting engine makes

ZycoFox1380d ago

Same, the AI could be pretty dumb but the bosses were fun. I thought the levels (mostly) got better later in the game too.

XiNatsuDragnel1380d ago

Devs nerf a game man best quote I've ever heard.
