Critical reviews of this game have been mixed, but it seems the most mainstream gaming sites have agreed on low overall scores. Why does Gaming Irresponsibly stand by the much higher score that we gave it? Well, Gaming Irresponsibly went into the title with an open mind and put aside the hype and history.
Duke Nukem Forever originally began its life as a sidescroller instead of a shooter back in 1996, and that canceled version has just been leaked.
Very cool, but i don't know how real this is... I'll check it out later to find out.
Duke Nukem Forever, the troubled FPS from Gearbox and 3D Realms, has been restored to more traditional 90s shooter thanks to a sweeping “remaster” mod
kinda of a misleading title.
Mod features:
Sprinting removed and faster player movement
Jump height increased
Swim speed is much faster
Player can now hold breath underwater for 45 seconds instead of 15
Weapon rebalance and screen shake when shooting removed
2/4 weapon limit completelly removed
Quicksaves (F5 by default)
Depth of Field removed and new post processing effects
Driving sections are now in first person perspective
yw.
Duke Nukem Forever, the infamous and controversial FPS from 3D Realms, apparently looked much better before launch, as modders discover various cut features
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.
Some of the reviews I've seen for this game have dinged it for crude humor. Really? Its like dinging GTA for violence.
Some of the reviews have been away to harsh, the game is average at worse, but all I can say is I'm enjoying it and its the Duke and its fun.
Growing up, 3D was epic for me. Just because some may have outgrown the humor doesn't mean we should risk taking the experience away from the next generation of gamers.
The Duke was written as an over-the-top, ego driven badass in the most unlikely situation. Reviewers are taking the game more seriously than it takes itself.
...Nope. I only expected this to be as fun as Duke 3D.
No, but we expect a GOOD game...
Nothing wrong with expecting polish or something not outdated by a decade.
