Would be worth it for the G19 and mousepads for me(they should have included a gaming mouse too), even if I hated the game. Those things cost way too much here.

I know its awesome that he got all of this stuff for preordering the game 10 years ago, but you have to remember Gearbox only finished the game. The bulk of it was still made by 3D Realms. or so they claim.
That is actually really awesome.
I also don't understand all the hate for the game. Okay, parts are offensive but it's not so bad after the initial shock wears off. That and it's Duke. I still think the character of Duke is an asshole now, but that doesn't really affect the game much.
Also, it's better than Black Ops or Modern Warfare 2. I can't say for World at War since I haven't played it or followed its development.
Obviously it could have been better, but most of the complaints I can think of are really just minor annoyances.

Insert obligatory "Duke Nukem Forever is a bad game" pun and or joke here.
That said, this is pretty cool. Opinions on the game aside, the company seems pretty cool and that's more than most bigger video game developers can say nowadays.

That would have been more fitting in the actual review thread, but thanks anyway! And the score was probably influenced by the pause I took after the hive level, giving me more time to forget that horrible first half and focusing on the genuinely inspired latter half.Haakong said:
I've never played a Duke Nukem game, but its still great to see companies that honour their agreements to such extremes, let alone giving them great goodies for their patience.
While I hear... less than great things about Forever, Gearbox still ranks as one of my top companies for one thing. They love their fans.
I still get a happy mood when I think about that marriage proposal video they did. But I digress.
Good on you Gearbox, and the lad that was ever so vigilant!

That's awesome. I wish I preordered the game 10 years ago and got that stuff. (but then again, I wasn't that much into gaming at the time, I didn't know anything about Duke Nukem, and I was about 9 at the time lol)
Agreed. Way too many seriousness in games nowadays.spartan773 said:
the really surreal/ridiculous part of this is I first saw that JPEG (with the receipt) at least three years ago and it's probably been floating around longer than that

It's a Gearbox game. Sure it isn't 3D, but considering how many times the game bounced around, they released a reasonable game that's up there with CoD and Halo.
And yes, that's how much I like those particular series.

How polite of them! Even when their game is hated on by about 80% of the people who played the game, they still honor their promise to give something to those who preordered all those years ago.
I was pretty little when DNF was announced, so one could say that I've been waiting my whole life for Duke Nukem Forever. Okay, not my whole life, but still, the majority of it. Was it worth the wait? The gameplay: no, the load screens: no, the everything else: pretty much.
Yeah, if you wanted a game with old school FPS action, then you're probably dissapointed, but I like the game because of the Duke. He's got a personality, and a funny one at that. As far as humor goes, he's up there with GLaDOS. Yes, I just placed Duke Nukem on the same level as GLaDOS, and it's because they both made me laugh quite a bit. Also, if they do make that DLC that involves Duke singing, then that'll be another thing they have in common.

To everyone saying "Gearbox didn't really make it!"; it doesn't matter. Gearbox ultimately pushed this game out into the market. Even if they didn't make most of the content in it they are the ones who decided it was worth releasing, and thus must be heald accountable for all the problems with the game.
Yes. way too much seriousness this day and age, serious is nice in limits, we need more heroes like duke. Cheesy, hilarious and unreal.JDB15 said:
