[sp]The Duke 3D version of the freeze ray (the one that shot frozen projectiles at enemies).
Black & White Mode.
Mirror Mode (basically the entire SP campaign mirrored horizontally)
Game Speed Adjuster.
Head Scales Adjuster.
And some classics like:
Invincibility
Infinite Ammo
Instagib[/sp]
I just electrocuted Duke to death in the room that leads to the stage in Titty City by constantly hammering E while in front of the electric outlet near the mirrors. :v:
Next stop; the mansion, preferably at an outlet that's near the twins so they can see the man they just sucked off kill himself in the most mundane way possible.
[QUOTE=TizzYcho;30465066]Poor Randy Pitchford. Every time you watched an interview with him you could tell he was so committed and excited about DNF and how it's "Return of the King", etc. So depressing to see the game get all these god-awful reviews and think about [B]how ol' Randy is going to react to them.[/B][/QUOTE]
:suicide:
I'm reading paid reviews for this game and I swear the reviewers were deliberately trying to get bored/mad/offended at the game. There's so much vitriol and disgust for minor things that I think that it feels like parody.
My mate got his video taken down when the demo came out and they sent a apology to him via mail.
He got it today the lucky bastard.

Fuck me! Gamespot gave 3.5/10 to the PC version, and 3.0 on 360, No way. It might not be as good as everyone thought it may be (Not me. 14 years of dev time is too much to expect anything amazing), but it's certainly not terrible.
[QUOTE=EastBayWilly;30464326]Duke Nukem Forever is far from amazing. Myself and two of my friends all agree, this game is mediocre at best. It brings nothing new to the table and it feels like 90% of it is scripted. It has no replay value. The graphics are nice, the gameplay is the same crap we've been experiencing for years, and the witty one liners aren't so witty. Most of the jokes in the game are references. It's like they couldn't think of their own shit so they just took from other games. Mary and Kate Holsom are obviously spoofs of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson. And I just played through a level where Duke had to find a stripper 3 items. I mean really? Did they seriously run out of ideas that badly that they decided to add pointless time wasters?
I held up my end of the bargain, I rented the game and I hate it. I still have 6 days left of renting. The game is already almost beat and the multiplayer sucks. If you don't have a rocket launcher, you ain't winning.[/QUOTE]
There are a couple of things here I want to address.
What exactly is wrong with a game being scripted? 90% of Half Life was pretty damn scripted, but it's considered one of the best shooters of all time. Why? Because it came out before open world games like GTA made everyone think that going on a five minute drive between each snippet of gameplay somehow made games more compelling besides padding them out. (looking at you Far Cry 2 and Mafia 2)
Honestly the gameplay being samey is subjective, but personally I found it quite a deviation. Very run and gun compared to your average COD, and pipe bombs are a shit-ton more fun to use than standard grenades. As for the jokes lacking wit or originality, that implies that Duke Nukem is supposed to be witty or original. I'm not knocking the humor, I love it, but I'm tired of everyone thinking that just because the game is light in tone it's going to be some heady satirical treatise on modern pop culture. Duke's most famous one liners (Hail to, kick ass + chew bubblegum) are straight ripped from movies. Other humorous moments from DN3D were just toilet humor, (rip head off+ shit down neck, K-TIT the "breast" radio in town) so I don't see the problem people have with it other than not really liking Duke's style of humor in the first place.
And as for the filler, honestly you're supposed to actually explore the strip club and interact with the items for fun. Play some pinball, or slots, or the whack-a-mole machine, or shoot some hoops, or billiards... either way it's supposed to be something other than a constant shootfest. You know, like Half Life, or any other shooter with a sense of actual pacing.
As for the multiplayer, that's how old-school multiplayer worked. In the land of spawning with pistols the man who knows where the rocket launcher is is king. It's not supposed to be fair, it's not supposed to be balanced, it's unforgiving. But it's also meant to be enjoyed light-heartedly as an add-on to the campaign. It's not about k/d or killstreak rewards or xp (even though it does have xp). It's about shooting the shit out of your friends instead of shooting the shit out of some aliens and having fun while doing it.
All in all this just seems like it wasn't made for you at all.
I don't understand why this game is getting scores lower than 7. It's incredibly fun
[QUOTE=Spooter;30466047]It's not about k/d or killstreak rewards or xp (even though it does have xp).[/QUOTE] The only reason there is XP is so you can unlock pictures of Duke, statues of Duke, statues of babes, and babes to inhabit your penthouse.
Take that, Call of Duty.

i'm reading reviews for DNF since I beat it and I have to say these people are fucking retards and should all be killed
stop playing with your balls duke
I wonder, if the 1997 version wouldve been released around in 1997-1999. Wouldve it been able to compete with half life ?
You guys were so full of shit. This game is fucking awesome. I haven't had this much fun with a shooter in a loong, LOOONG time.
Seriously. FULL OF SHIT.

Good to see that at least someone is enjoying the game a lot.
Oh, I actually really want to thank you guys.
Constant bitching and hate led someone to cancel their Balls of Steel edition pre-order.
I'm now the ecstatic happy owner of a Duke bust and a bunch of other silly Duke stuff.
Thanks guys. :v:

[QUOTE=gta-man12345;30463666]The Gamespot reviewer hated it because it was "hard".
Hes playing Call of Duty right now.[/QUOTE]
Kevin VanOrd is the best reviewer on the website; everything he stated was correct.
Playing through it right now and I'm fucking loving it, I think everyone knew the reviewers were bull shit when eurogamers review said "it's like postal 2 and that was awful" when postal 2 was amazing.
I lost it when fighting the octobrains in the hive and Duke says "Take those tentacles back to Japan you freaks" Also I see that the "Damn I'm Good" difficulty is back, holy shit it was hard as hell in Duke 3D but I can't wait to try it in here.
The only thing I really hate though is when multiple pig cops attack you and one jumps at you and you have to break it's neck while getting attacked by the rest and you die. Unless you can cancel that, whoever thought of that should be punched in the face.

Well a lot of reviews are biased, full of bullshit, and dumb. Like gamespot and IGN
Ars, IGN, Eurogamer and Gamespot have all given this HORRID reviews and after trying the game myself, it is 100% justified. Why do people defend a $60 pile of crap?
Want a fun, old school styled shooter with great tech values as well? Painkiller or Bulletstorm is 10x funner and BETTER than DNF...
From the gamespot review.
[quote] Take, for example, a series of levels in which you drive Duke's four-wheeler. In these sequences, you drive over aliens and use ramps to jump across chasms. You see a lot of the same brown canyons and cliffs in these sections [/quote]
ehh last time I checked, deserts are filled with brown canyons and cliffs.
[quote]Pig cops, octabrains, and so on occasionally threaten you, but they don't react much to getting shot, and they just sort of fall over when you kill them. [/quote]
What the fuck kind of a complaint is that, you kill an enemy and they die. That's how it is in ANY OTHER FPS GAME.
[quote]That kind of pace-killing monotony is frequent in Duke Nukem Forever. You do a lot of platforming and some occasional puzzle-solving, but all of these portions are dull as dishwater. Several jumping sequences see you shrinking to action-figure height.[/quote]
I don't know about you guys, but I thought that the platforming/puzzle solvings were quite neat. They were a great way to pace the game, I really don't want to have constant action all the time.
[quote]Here, and in a few other sections, it's also possible to find yourself without the right weapon for the job and have no way to replenish your ammo.[/quote]
I don't know, I never really had any trouble with ammo.
[quote]This is the least sexy strip club you could imagine, because there's no stripping, though you do receive a lewd proposal: a lady friend offers a lap dance if you find her three objects, including a battery-powered device designed for her pleasure. And so your visit to a strip club is characterized not by a rush of sexual energy or a ridiculous riff on Duke's sexism, but by a fetch quest. One that involves popping popcorn in a microwave oven. Really.[/quote]
What ?
[quote]The idea of Duke urinating in a dying alien's eye socket sounds filthy. But the game doesn't stylize this or other such moments in any way. The generic, public-domain-quality soundtrack lulls you into passivity; the camera angles do what they need to, but no more.[/quote]
Sounds filhty ? In duke 3d, Duke rips out an aliens head and shits down his neck. Don't really even know what he means by stylizing it, if he means cutscenes then I don't know. I got a feeling that this game is supposed to be through the eyes of Duke.
First step is denial
You guys really shouldn't be too:
"AH HA HA HA I AM HAVING FUN GUYS [I]WITH MY VIDEO GAME?[/I]
THOSE REVIEWS. AH HA HA HA THEY JUST DON'T GET THE [I]DEPTH[/i] OF DUKE NUKEM FOREVER ALL 20 OF THEM."
It may not be your intention and I'm sure you're genuinely enjoying it (I liked the first bit of it myself scratch the hive and titty city ending at Duke Burger) but constantly calling EVERY reviewer who hates it wrong is kinda looking... in denial.
Most of the reviewers are paid anyways.
Duke is back baby and it fucking rocks.
You're a fucking idiot Sift.

I don't see them complaining about that in call of duty reviews.
people nitpicking every problem with duke nukem, I blame the 12 year hype
I mean, graphics; okay well look at the fallout games; they're immersive and fun but lets be frank, they're pretty butt ugly in terms of textures and ESPECIALLY the people.
The game's fun, critics just looking for lots of little problems trying to down talk it, it happens.
Alot of people also didn't enjoy it, fair enough. I'm not going to argue with them
except seriously, if there's still arguments going on with sift after 10 more fucking pages just SHUT THE FUCK UP
Why do you care about reviewers? The important thing is whether you like it or not. That goes for all games- I don't have this game right now and probably won't get it (it's not my style of games) but really it's sad to see people get worked up over reviews. Reviews are more harmful to the devs in the end, and I can imagine they're feeling bad about it right now.
