Duke Nukem Forever - Exploiting the name?

Well, I took a look at the gameplay video shown at PAX (Link below) and I don't think that it looks like the product that 12 years of work promises and the hype is promising - Instead, I think that it looks average, (With the duke charm) just with the name stapled on it... I am probably wrong - Yet - I have a bad feeling about this (Star Wars reference... Oh Yeah!).

So what's your take on Duke Nukem Forever - And afterall - Thats just my opinion!

I'm still half-expecting it to be delayed again. And if it is released, we'll see this on the press start screen and nothing more.

I never played any of the Duke Nukem games though. But the trailer has me interested in this game. Looked pretty funny.

I think all us hardcore Duke Nukem fans that have been waiting so long aren't expecting a mind blowing experience. Given all the delays, restarts in design, lay offs and ultimate closing of 3D Realms, there's a lot going against it.

But if the trailer is anything to go by, its going to be a lot of fun and offer that classic Duke Nukem vibe that made DN3D so special in the first place. Other games might have better firefights or larger scale, but Duke Nukem Forever will probably run away with all the personality and fun once again.

I'm hoping it'll be a huge success and from there Gearbox can develop future titles without all the problems plaguing this one. I wouldn't mind a Duke Nukem Begins that was rumored a while back with Gearbox.

Eh ill rent it!

lol That was a Rick Roll. :P Can you imagine how mad people would be?

The game itself will definitely be mediocre. The graphics aren't anything special, it will be just shooting and finishing off enemies in a gory way. I think the voice acting and humor that come with it are the most important. You can't say there's no duke nukem vibe until you play it though. LustForSoul

Here's the thing...I don't know if you've been to one of the events that had Duke Nukem Forever playable, but until you've played it, you can't say that it will be mediocre, not until you sit down the game and go through it with a fine-tooth comb. Far as I'm concerned, Duke Nukem Forever is not supposed to be anything fancy. It's supposed to be kept intact with a promise of an original vision that was made by 3D Realms when they started work on it tweleve years ago and I think people forget this fact, including the original poster who created the thread.

That said, people do need to stop calling this a game that needs to rival Halo or Call Of Duty. This is something that I've been hearing lately from a lot of people and I think it's due to the fact that people have been way too spoiled over those games. Duke Nukem Forever is a game with its own identity and if people can't embrace that while playing Duke Nukem Forever, then that's an issue for them that needs to be solved. Do I think DNF is being exploited? No. If it was, then we would have already seen movies, toys, lunch boxes, and so on with the name slapped onto it. Otherwise, I've seen little advertising of the game, yet a lot of positive vibes from Gearbox and those who are bringing that vision to life.

If it's even half as good as Duke Nukem 3D, it's a winner in my book.

Wen Randy is disscusing the DNF topic, it gives me this good feeling as if he's acting like child with a new toy to play with. I can honestly see that glimps in he's eyes, the only thing he definitely wants is bringing the game he heard about before he even was at Gearbox. It's about bringing the game 3D Realms wanted to bring for the fanbase. And in that sole regard, they have already succedeed.

It's a game were scores do not matter, because we can already picture the scores based on the previews. I can, no doubt, tell you 100% that Duke will not score above a 8. 7.5 and 6.5 is what i know it'll score. But like i said, this game is not meant to be taken as a game doing something new, whoever thinks that does not know anything about this.

It's meant to be taken as a walk on memory lane. It already succedeed, now all that's left is seeing the game in my hands, and playing it.

That's the day that I'm looking forward - the day of release. Having the copy in your hand, staring at the cover, and going "Holy s***...it's finally out." That day will be one to remember...
