XXLGaming writes, "There have been some really negative reviews for Duke Nukem Forever. Some of them have valid points, but many are just bashing the franchise with unecessary banter. Our guy Corey, a Duke Nukem fan, sits down with the new game and gives you his honest opinion. Is it a 10 out of 10? No. But it's not a 2 out of 10 either."
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.
Good review, I'm enjoying the game yes, is it out of nostalgia I'm not sure but I'm having fun "Hail the Duke"
most of the critics are tough on this game going as far as 0/10 but most of the actual players i talk to say this game is a lot of fun
i guess time to rent and see for myself
I thought it was fun once you get past the initial couple of hours.. And I did laugh occasionally. But I don't see how *anyone* could consider it more than mediocre. It really has no killer features or draw to it at all other than Duke himself. The graphics, sound, gameplay, writing, animation.. All the things you'd normally be rating in a review. None are ever above "competent" and a lot of the time are actually laughably outdated/outright bad.
What is actually good about DNF that makes it worth good-excellent scores? I'm not seeing it. I'd actually categorise it under "so bad it's good" - so much of it is totally anachronistic and not well executed... Its not deserving of the hate *or* the love that people are giving it to try and fix it's reputation.
Fun can be had with DNF, but fun is subjective. You can't just say "lighten up and have some fun" - fun doesn't override every other rateable criteria. I hope Duke does well so they can make a true sequel from the ground up. Then you'd see how bad DNF really is compared with how bad it could and *should* have been.
Duke Nukem is actually a pretty good game. I think what hurts the meta score is the unforgiving load times. I have played worse games that have scored 9's. In a game where one wrong turn can kill you, the loading times get old fast.
Nice review, i have completed it, and it should be reviewed as a 7-8 game... most of game press don't know their place
