Yeah it's ridculous. even the duke nukem 3d port on the 360 had a good arsenal.MasterV said:
And even if the to little buttons for a fun arsenal thing wasn't proven wrong by any designer worth their pay, why replace the mighty boot with the halo melee system when the mighty boot is still in the cutscenes
Well, that's Gearbox for you.
I like their attitude - at least, the one their games portray - but their claims are always grandoise and borderline vaporware.
I'll see how well it does once it's released, as I don't preorder from them.

Funny that Gearbox says console games can't handle more than two guns yet on Borderlands, made by the same company and also released on consoles, you could carry over 40 guns without any real problem.
Didn't Fallout 3 and NV have a hotkey system? Same with Gears Of War, Bulletstorm, Prototype (well in Prototype you switched between different weapon forms but it still counts), Half Life and many other games?
Me thinks Gear Box is looking for a cheap way out...and it isn't working.
Still i'll wait till i finally play it to make a judgement.

What the hell? Borderlands' weapon system let you switch between your four weapons or use the D-pad, and Gearbox should know this since they made the fucking game. Unbelievable.
Maybe they were using the d-pad for the peeing on your enemies game mechanic, and only realized they needed them for weapon swapping after they'd spent ten weeks flailing Duke's dick around the screen.
There was a review knocking around the other day - check the review forum. The reviewer loved it, said it was sufficiently complex and in-depth to really engage the play, had huge variety in ways to play, a decent amount of character upgrades and progression, good character personality, good graphics - in short, looking to be a fantastic game.Renogod said:
If you're still after a fun, insane shooter then check out Serious Sam 3. It sounds like they are doing a better job of sticking to what they are good at, and the first two games were great fun (huge demo available on Steam of the first Serious Sam upgraded to better graphics.)
THE 2 WEAPONS LIMIT WASN'T GEARBOX'S DECISION,BUT A DECISION TAKEN BY 3D REALMS,THE GUYS WHO WENT BANKRUPT SO STOP BLAMING GEARBOX.
Gearbox just got random levels made by 3D Realms,they aligned them together and fixed some bugs..
You shouldn't complain to Gearbox for gameplay or design decisions,as the only thing Gearbox did was to place the already made by 3D Realms levels in an order,fix some bugs,and make the multiplayer.
The 2 weapon system,health regeneration etc are 3D Realms's decisions.

huh? what's that? DNF Is a bland boring FPS with poor design choices?
I am one the few people who thought thats how it was going to be just from viewing the trailers? Because it sure surprises me the amount of "DNF isn't a good game! gasp!" threads that have been popping up.
Glad I've still got my money.

I don't care for the game. But this doesn't read as a problem with porting the game to consoles, seems more like a cop out from the developers. These problems are easily adaptable. They obviously didn't care enough.
Honestly, the more I read about this, the more interested I am in the final results. The critical reception will be worth keeping an eye out for.

I new about that back when they released the first trailer after the teaser which showed a god-awful Duke Nukem character model. The trailer showed him with only two weapons and never kicking.mrwoo6 said:
I still bought it anyway, for laughs. Besides, I got it on PC so it could probably be modded.
Why thank you.Brombaq said:
In the later half of the video posted by Admiral Stokov, Duke is killing Pig-men (those aren't cops) and he says "Porkchop Sandwiches"
...
It took me about 10 seconds to remember that video and I find that kind of sad...and at 30:09 he mentions a freaking crowbar?! GAH! You have a boot dumb-ass!!
