Professional reviews have been quite harsh on Duke Nukem Forever, but what go regular gamers think of the title? Mark Serrels of Kotaku asked the community just that. Here are the responses.
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.
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.
It is great, you should check out Eric Calderone - Duke Nukem meets metal .. thats proper as well
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.
Same, the AI could be pretty dumb but the bosses were fun. I thought the levels (mostly) got better later in the game too.
We think is dated
i think it's extremely fun and brings me back to the glory days of FPS gaming.
This is the reason i havn't bothered listening to reviews in years. I've enjoyed every minute of Duke so far and i'm looking forward to finishing it. However, the loadtimes alone have made me stop playing and take a break. I've never had worse load times in a game before, and of course the graphics look dated. The game is still using assets from 2007.
Still love it, still enjoying it and i don't really care what anyone else says. (=
I could've waited more.
Looks like its a mixed reception from gamers too.
I think the Critics were spot on with this game for once.
