GF John 169 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Absolutely turd.The graphics are terrible yet it still suffers framerate issues, the jokes are crowbarred in with most of them being poor non-jokes, it references obscure things without doing anything with the reference, characters movement is vague and quite jumpy, the shooting mechanic is inexact and unresponsive, there's regenerating health but no cover system forcing you into hiding out every thirty seconds, and the level design is incredibly linear and unimaginative.If there's a worse full price release this year I'll staple my balls to my ears and roll down Buchanan street.Avoid like the fucking plague.

GF John 169 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 May I ask what age are you?I will enjoy this game for nostalgia alone24.I loved Duke Nukem 3D, and I really wanted to like this, but the game mechanics are terrible and whoever they've hired to do the writing simply doesn't understand what made The Duke funny.The jokes aren't the clever, witty, close to the bone gags that made the previous games so much fun. They're simply bad taste comments that make you cringe rather than laugh.Rather than enjoying it thanks to memories of past games, you'll be cursing it for spoiling those memories within about thirty minutes of switching it on.

GF John 169 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Sounds like Duke Nukem 3D! :praise: Wrong.DN3D was clever, the jokes were well written and the timing was perfect, the levels were expansive and allowed you to get lost, and the game mechanics were crisp and responsive for the day.The graphics look blocky looking back at it now, but at the time they were good.

papaguy51 941 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm away to give it a whirl.Even if it's shite, I'll still like it. I liked Duke 3D that much that if this game jumped out the telly and kicked my balls, I'd still love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 941 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Depends what you're looking for.If you want a precision game that involves camping, sniping, air strikes and tactics, then get Modern Warfare.If you want an old fashion shoot em up where you find the biggest gun and kill as many enemies as you can with loads of blood, women and one-liners, get Duke Nukem.The recent spate of precision army shooters has changed the FPS landscape somewhat.

lidorfc 6,692 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Tbh if I wanted an old fasioned game I'd break out my playstation 1 or 2. Heard so many bad thing about the new Duke Nukem I'll probably never buy it.Shame as the earlier ones are class. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly when that game has been in development for thirteen years.Serious Sam showed the way forward for that kind of game. The enemies were varied and looked good when they exploded, the guns were big and outlandish, and the difficulty curve was all over the shop. But the controls were intuitive and precise and the gunplay had weight.There's no need to pigeonhole things anymore. Tight controls and outlandish gameplay don't need to be mutually exclusive.

papaguy51 941 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 True, but I did enjoy Serious Sam loads as well. That was fucking bonkers.Duke Nukem is nowhere near as good as it could have been, I accept this. It's still a good blast though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
