got it today :D

loving the references to the previous games and the humour, however they did consolise it WAY too much, feels like a port of a 360 game :/

there are also huge discrepancies in the textures; some things look awesome (like the enemies and the chicks), and other things look blurred to the shithouse. Also not a fan of having to wait around during overly long cutscenes when restarting levels etc.

Yeh the worst thing is definitly the waiting times. Especially once you crank it up to the hard difficulties and die a few times.

Still the most fun i have had for a while playing a shooter

Im sure the next one will be a bit better and have a lot better direction from the start.

Way too much time was wasted on this one doing absolutely nothing.

the blur is weird. bit seems intentional. as it becomes more the faster you move. Load times only seem to be a console issue.

i doubt its a Port as the console load times seem to be very excessive, and its made by Gearbox/ex 3D realms guys who obviously went for the nostalgia angle, which means PC all the way.

it's by no means a Crysis2, but i think thats great as it means even peeps without a stonking new uber computer can run it full detail and smoothly, which in turn will hopefully create more players for online madness!!

Played MW2 the other day after playing this........did well, almost won a few games, but it bored/annoyed the crap outta me....lol

Gameplay overhaul patch

I don't know what to say about this but gearbox head honcho has considered the bad reviews and everyone's complaints about dnf; And has confirmed that the team is working on a major overhaul patch.

Sounds kinda stupid after reading the article.

Also, I don't know what to expect anymore.

strange i cant seem to find any other sources at all that say anything about a patch. Also a bit funny how its all worded too as i doubt very much the head honcho would talk like that about his game

Yeah sounds legit. Did this part not make you think that these guys are trying to do a "the onion" type stories

We had a thought – what if he actually managed to get his hands on some gum? We held a focus group with a whole bunch of gamers and they all gave us one clear, consistent message. Going out and buying gum would be a more entertaining pastime that putting up with the drudgery that is kicking ass in Duke Nukem Forever.

lolwut

sure the next one will be good

IN 46 YEARS WHEN ITS RELEASED

But what investor would give them money after how DNF was essentially roasted in reviews? Bit of a shaky business decision.

Yeah, but Gearbox didn't start from scratch on DNF did they?

If they didn't, they may have earned the benefit of the doubt making a Duke game completely of their own.

I think Gearbox Software brought the Duke Nukem franchise. They got all the devlopment work that 3D Realms did and got Triptych Games (who are ex 3D Realms guys who kept working on DNF) to help them finish the game (also got Piranha Games to help Gearbox with the X360 and PS3 versions)...Gearbox just released what was done with some minor tweaking of their own...

You can tell this game should have been done and released around 1999 (when it should have been) to about 2004.....the graphics are very dated and just looks wrong on today's PC's...

This is basically what happens when George Broussard kept messing around with the game...change engines mid build which would force to start again from scratch and bascially adding stuff in because other games did that just so they can have in DNF...

You can see why Take-Two Interactive got pissed of with 3D Realms was doing and finally had enough....took DNF from them gave it to Gearbox and pretty much said "Give it a small tweak...and release the damn thing"

I would say that Gearbox will do something good with the Duke Nukem franchise...let's just hope it doesn't take another 14 years for the next one to come out

Oh I don't doubt that at all. From what I understand, Gearbox basically finished off what 3DRealms had done and made it how they (3DR) wanted it, and then released it. They just supplied the grunt, as it were.

In their own right though, they might be able to come up with something awesome; who knows? And while I hope a lot of people/investors realise this, you've gotta admit there'll be a lot of people very wary and maybe not willing to give them a go, just being cautious.

If they manage to get another DN game out and it's actually good, then they'll blow everyone's socks off.

Graphics are shit. Compared to say BFBC2 or other current games (or even games from 2-3 years ago), the graphics are plain shit. Gameplay is quite enjoyable.

Downloaded it from bitsoup.org

Screw paying for games haha

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
