Tech Central: Duke Nukem Forever review: a crashing boor

If Duke Nukem Forever was priced as a budget release, it would be easier to recommend.

There are some good times to be had with the game and it does have a certain nostalgic charm and curiosity value.

Boor
n.
1. A person with rude, clumsy manners and little refinement.
2. A peasant.

Probably meant to be used as homonym with "Bore"

Hey, "boor" confused me at first...

Maybe Duke is the crashing boor?

That's the best I can some up with. lol

God damn Megadeth Duke Nukem anthem is the best.

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.

"so wrong yet so right"

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

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.

ZycoFox1049d ago

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

-Foxtrot1050d ago

Kind of amazing the difference a lighting engine makes

ZycoFox1049d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel1050d ago

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