The Duke Nukem Forever thread

I played it.

 

Verdict: It's not Duke 3d. :/

My opinion?

Worst game ever....13 years and this is what they made with it?

Utterly shit, but that's just me

Depends on your taste, I assume. I guess I love it because of how shitty it is, like I can appreciate the bad-taste nature of it.

I don't think the length of the development can serve as a good argument, seeing as the game went through multiple developers and most likely got build from the ground up more than once.

[Bravetriforcer]

4 or 5 times to be exact. And the weird thing is that it's still technically on the Unreal Engine from 2001. They just completely upgraded it on their own from time to time after they decided to stop receiving updates because they messed up the game too much.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, so it looks like a 2001 game but plays like a Call of Duty ripoff. XD

The graphics are actually very good enviroment-wise. As for people...not so much. Character animations are choppy, especially the walking. The crap thing is I have to turn resolution down to 800x600 so it won't slow even though everyone says the graphics are crap. Everything else is just kinda 'okay' imo.

[Bravetriforcer]

The graphics look fine when everything's maxed and "Post-special effects" (Depth of field and color drain) are off. Certainly better on the eye than Call of Duty is for the most part. ESPECIALLY the underwater segments.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, the post fx ruin the graphics completely and should never have been included. The game looks a lot better without them.

[Bravetriforcer]

I haven't beaten the DLC yet (Though I am close) but I can't shake the feeling that Dr. Proton is not as villianous as he seems. Sure he killed all the people in Area 51 (And that's terrible), but it was for the purpose of

creating a Duke Nukem army with which he could end the alien invasion once and for all

. What he would have done with the army after that I don't know, but the first use of it certainly seemed righteous. Maybe I just missed somethigng that painted him as definitively evil, but I dunno.

[Alyxx Thorne]

He's an evil genious, so even if he's against the aliens he's also against Duke after how Duke beat his ass 3 times back in Duke Nukem 1.

[Bravetriforcer]

Well that's just a grudge anyone would have against Duke after they get shot into the air and turn into shiny diamonds. Proton seems to have no issue referring to Duke as the world's greatest hero, so he respects Duke on some level. Enough to create an army of him for the purpose of ending the invasion for good, at least.

Having come off of Halo CE again recently, a game which I think has aged pretty well graphically, I wouldn't say 2001 at all. Feels more like 07 to me.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I love the new DLC!

[Arby]

I'm playing through it right now, just beat the first boss. Reminds me of Mass Effect's Overlord DLC in terms of setting. BTW, anyone else find "The Clone Carousel" incredibly annoying? I usually like Duke's platforming sections, but this one was just aggravating.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I got through it fairly easily, but it was a bit annoying yes.
