Eurogamer Review:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-06-12-duke-nukem-forever-review

wow, make me wonder how I would be if I was waiting 2000 years for this game. Good thing I don't care about it.

Awful review, anyway. Score's about what I predicted, anyway. And it was the console version, which is apparently boxed s***. According to the review, the game is fun, but the humor is

"too childish and immature." HARRUMPH.

IGN complaining about something being childish and immature. :lol:

They should of delayed the game to make it better, oh wait :(

Poor Duke.

Poor poor Duke...

.

All those predictions in the flop thread came true :D

I'm expecting the PC version to get a 7, it's not a 5.5 from what I played.

Imma post the same thing I said in the PS3 forum

I wonder if any review is actually gonna bother playing the game instead of ranting how someone who isn't a sci-fi warrior or modern military person is so out of place in this day and age (When in fact they aren't.) I also like how every review tries to belittle the game for having the attitude of a 12 year old. Would you rather have some 20-year old college guy who has 4 popped collars and can't get laid without alcohol, or some 40 year old thats lost all sense of humor and its super-depressed with life? Hey, anything is better than trying to be humorous like Cracked.com tries to be.

Honestly, I don't see how this is funny. I'm not a fan of Duke, I'm not offended, I just honestly do not see how this is funny. No one was hyping this, no one was expecting this to be great, no one got owned here.vashkey

OT- Game plays like **** I was expecting glower tbh.

What could you expect 12 years later. Hope the people who are fans aren't too let down

I don't care what it scores anywhere, I'm getting it and will thoroughly enjoy it. Heil68

Yep. I have a feeling this game is gonna be another Nier/Sniper Ghost Warrior. Is it perfect? No, but its a hell of a lot more fun than other games released that year.

:lol: Thats worse then Infamous 2.

It needs more scripted sequences. HOW DARE THEY ADD VARIATY TO MY GAMEPLAY!?

Only thing I don't like is the weapon limit and regenerating health. If there are mod tools or someone releases some, I'll find out how to fix that myself and add health packs to the game. (Just gimme 2 years to figure all that out :P )

Is this the second case of a humorous game being released this year in the FPS genre that gets slammed by critcs. I wonder if GS is going to give this game atleast a 7 when they review it.

Vunderful! This is vundeful munition for System Wars.

Bwahahahahah

[QUOTE="ChubbyGuy40"]

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] At least DNF knows what it wants to be, and does it well, humor wise. But, no. FPS ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS. NO FUN ALLOWED. Also, see my edit.DarkLink77

As much as I hate to say this the way the game is put together doesn't really seem right for a full arsenal of weapons. As is stands the game is an unholy mix of old school and modern shooters, some aspects of both just have to be thrown out.

I'm honestly not surprised it scored that way judging from the way the gameplay looked, but the reviewer seemed incredibly condescending and pretentious. I literally felt like I was reading an Armond White review :|.

Also, I agree with the irony in IGN bashing immaturity. At times, it's literally one of the biggest "bro" gaming sources next to X-play and Spike.

I thought he was just pointing out the irony that the game uses shooter conventions that Halo started yet it appears to try to make fun of Halo.

However, I think he got the idea of the whole scene wrong. Duke wasn't making fun of Halo's gameplay... He was just saying power armor is for **** :P

The console has been locked in the full game and Gearbox plans to release at least three pieces of DLC. I doubt mod tools are coming.

I'm keeping an eye on the Duke 3D remake instead.

What ever. I'm still getting it.

Don't forget how it revolutionizes the genre, has better than Bf3 graphics, and how CoD Elite is a must for any FPS and is totally worth paying for.

EDIT: Oh ya, its hyper-realisitic.

A friend of mine recently sent me the TotalBiscuit review--I generally ignore these, but I saw almost all of the Duke Nukem footage here.

I have to say that I somewhat agree with some of what he said. The game really didn't seem that interesting to me:

For anyone who's interested.

He made the review of the demo before it. I still have to try that myself--I'm going to at least try it before I make my decision.

You have a point. COD are some of the most shallow games out there. I think he didnt like the game, but then he found it insulting that the story didnt make up for it. He really seemed pissed off about the gameplay. I hope it isnt as outdated as he says it is.

I can see it now:

"Modern Warfare 3 is a riveting and heartbreaking adventure. Seeing a cracked piece of concrete in New York really makes you feel like you are fighting for something you believe in. Also, there's this sweet motorcyle dragon shooting scene and killstreaks that go up to 100! BRO FIST!"
