Duke Nukem Forever GS Review (PC: 3.5; 360: 3.0) - KEEP IT HERE

PC has the superior version.....:lol:

Ouch that hurt, poor Duke.:cry:

I don't even really like Duke Nukem but a 3.0? Please...

What a shame especially since this could turn off newcomers to get into the series. I will stick to Serious Sam which I hope his series will continue to be seriously good.

FAIL! so does this beat too human as biggest flop ever?

Honestly I'm not surprised by all the low scores. The game was in development for like 10 years, and it really wasn't until last year that any real "progress" was made towards development.

This score seems ridiculous.

The game has flaws i'm sure...but I doubt they're bad enough to warrant a 3...it sounds like a 6 would've been more appropriate.

I just got through playing it for about 4 hours and think all these bottom of the barrel scores are absolute jokes. But hey, that is just my opinion. The only thing really dated in my view are the animations and physics. As far as the visuals, it is on par with a lot of early gen stuff in a lot of areas and if you can't handle visuals like that, then I don't know what to tell you.

As far as how it plays, well it runs and plays fine on the PS3. My only complaint and I mean only complaint is the 45 second loading times. Other than that, it is good old strafe and shoot gameplay with boss battles that can kill you in a couple of shots. No aim assist or any of the like we see these days. Hell, even regular goons like Pig Cops can take you out in a couple of hits, so the regenerating health is hardly a complaint in that regard.

It is just old school, entertaining because of the variety and simply fun to play. Sections like being mini Duke and driving around in a RC truck are both hilarious and fun. The interactivity with the world is nothing new, but it is still neat all the same. I went in with the lowest possible expectations, but it ended up being a fun as hell game. It is certainly better than a lot of other crap shooters I have played this gen like Blacksite Area 51. Hell, I am even having more fun with it than I would if I were playing the latest military shooter rehash, that's for sure. Try it before you hate it and I'll leave it at that. You might be surprised.

Is it odd that I want to play this game even more now that everyone hates it? :]Stevo_the_gamer

I am telling you, it is not that bad. In fact, I think it is great for what it is beyond some dated animations and physics. If you love old school shooters with a challenge, tough boss battles and Duke's in your face lewd humor then chances are you will love the game. That is as simple and straight forward as I can put it.

Yep I knew it. Games that have been in development for a long time tend to suck/underliver.

@Stevo

I know. The irony here is delicious. Also, Fallout 3 sucks. Deal. :P

lol. The irony is delicious here, Mr. IB.Stevo_the_gamer

Problem, Steven? :o

Heavy Rain > Crysis btw :]

Defiently flop of the year.

This game looks like those Postal games. It is fun for the funny/ridiculous situations, but the game itself SUXXORZZ!!!111!!!11!

Why do people keep saying its "old school". The game is heavily scripted, linear, two weapon limit, and has regenerating health. It would appear the game took the worst aspects of a modern shooter and there is nothing old school about it.

Freaking IGN overscoring again.. gosh.

No but seriously this is shocking. I mean this is a game I have waited quite awhile for and I knew it wouldn't be great by any means, but I atleast thought it would be decent enough to enjoy. From the sounds of it it is a complete mess.

However think it should atleast be a 5.0.. I mean there is no way in hell Terminator Salvation. Let me re-say that: TERMINATOR SALVATION is better then Duke Nukem Forever. I mean seriously if anyone has every played that game you'd know it is a repetitive peice of crap with nothing exciting or fun at all. Just a blah mess.

Yep I knew it. Games that have been in development for a long time tend to suck/underliver.

Actually the game itself was developed like in two years. The concept of making a game called Duke Nukem Forever is the one that lasted like 15 years.

Flop of the forever :shock:Giancar

Ouch I mean was it really that bad?

This game needs to b reviewd as a 19999 game, no more to say, it is unfair to have high standards for something tah twas gonna release 12 years ago.

I just watched the trailer Kevin posted in his review. If the game really is as boring as it looks, then it deserves that score.

Biggest flop of all time? No; a flop anyhow? Yes. I lol'd when I saw the scoreSLS97

Twilight Princess? :P

I think people need to realize that if Duke Nukem 3D came out now, even with it's outdated visuals and such, it'd score higher. DNF is just that bad.OICWUTUDIDTHAR

Damn right it would!
