Ignore the bad reviews and just play it and enjoy it but don't expect classic Duke 3D, but do expect some good time FPS.
Maybe I played Duke Nukem Forever a few years too late, but I honestly didn't enjoy it. The shooting feels dated and uninspired, while the game's attempts at puzzles felt more annoying than engaging. Enemy encounters become repetitive quickly, with little variety throughout the campaign. The humor is another weak point. Many of the jokes feel forced, outdated, or simply unfunny, and much of the game's charm seems to rely on references and shock value that haven't aged particularly well.
God this sucks so bad it's like the developer has never made a game before. Boringgggg
Hail to the king!
Duke Nukem Forever will probably always be remembered as the game that effectively killed the franchise. It became the poster child for vaporware, spending well over a decade trapped in development hell while constantly being delayed, rebooted, and joked about across the gaming industry. Back in the '90s, though, I absolutely loved the Duke Nukem games. I spent countless hours blasting aliens, finding ridiculous secrets, and laughing at Duke's over-the-top one-liners. Like a lot of fans, I eagerly waited for this game, convinced it would eventually live up to the hype. Of course, I never imagined it would take that long to release. By the time it finally came out, I wasn't a kid anymore, and both gaming and I had changed quite a bit. Expectations had grown, shooters had evolved, and the humor that once felt edgy landed a little differently. It's easy to see why the game disappointed so many people after such an incredibly long wait. That said, I've been working through my backlog lately and finally decided to give it a fair shot. Is it the best Duke Nukem game? Not even close. There are definitely rough edges, dated mechanics, and moments where you can almost see the scars from its troubled development. But despite all that, I still had fun. It felt like revisiting an old friend from my childhood. It is flawed, cheesy, and unapologetically over the top. Duke himself remains the same wisecracking action hero who doesn't care what anyone thinks, constantly throwing out absurd one-liners while mowing down aliens in true old-school fashion. Sometimes it's nice to play a game that doesn't take itself seriously and just embraces being loud, ridiculous, and entertaining. If you're expecting a masterpiece, you'll probably be disappointed. But if you're looking for a nostalgic, old-school FPS packed with explosions, alien blasting, cheesy humor, and a healthy dose of late-'90s attitude, it's still worth experiencing at least once. COME GET SOME! Hail to the King, baby!
It's the best, I mean breast of the Duke Nukem franchise and I love it.
This game just makes me sad, atleast theres still the upcoming [url=https://www.moddb.com/mods/dnf2001-restoration-project] Duke Nukem 2001 Restoration Project [/url] to look forward to.
Sometimes I play bad games to see if they fall under the "So bad it's good" title, but Duke Nukem Forever isn't even that. It was so boring and tedious to play the game, that I couldn't even finish 2 hours of gameplay. One slight pro is that the humour made me crack up a few times even though it was very stupid. The gun play itself is horrible, I hate only carrying 2 guns in a game that had its franchise built on run-and-gun shooters. Would never buy when it's full price, and even buying it on sale was a mistake. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
Está longe de ser esse lixo todo que tanto falam. Eu até prefiro ele ao Duke 3D, não porque este seja um game superior, mas porque o 3D depende demais do jogador encontrar passagens secretas pra avançar em campanha. Nesse aqui dá pra avançar tranquilo sem depender de guia. O tom de humor do game é bem imbecil mesmo, isso não é ser politicamente correto, é apenas perceber que o roteirista tava na seca lascada e subindo pelas paredes. Mas eu acho que esse tipo de humor tem que existir pra agradar quem gosta, pois sou contra proibir coisas que não gosto apenas porque não gosto.
