It appeals to a demographic of hardcore gamers who are nostalgic for late-90's gaming. I think that's a much smaller demographic than the developers think it is.
Does anyone else think Duke Nukem Forever will suck balls of steel?

I don't know. It is really hard to even say that a game will suck or be bad, or even say that the whole game will be clunky when there was only one or two trailers released so far. Sure a great trailer can sell a game, but I don't think they were trying to sell the game with those trailers. They were trying to prove that it even existed. Plus when is complication looked down upon. Sometimes people complain when things are too muddied down, and other times they complain when things look complicated.
Think of it this way when you base your thoughts on a few trailers. When Two Worlds I was first shown, people were calling it an Oblivion killer and were saying it was going to be amazing. And then look at how it turned out to be....

Well in there situation, I would try to make the trailer as amazing as possible, Proove it exists, and is a good game. And I love the refrence to Two Worlds... Is the second one supposed to be any good?koga88 said:
Yeah ..... I'm not fourteen anymore. I am no longer amused by Duke and if I want to see some boobs, I have the internet. I can not see myself buying it. I don't begrudge those who do their fun though just, no, not for me.
It actually isn't that bad. Despite a difficulty curve that see-saws every now and then and a very junky interface it is surprisingly a much better game than the first one. And I do have to admit that they most likely did rush out a video to emphasize the reality of the game. I have a feeling that what we saw wasn't actual gameplay but just part of a video. Won't know until it is out though.
My personal openion is that duke should have thrown in the towl, and let his balls of steel go down in history. And by the way, This is one of the most hilarious and realistic comment I have ever seen on this sight, I want to give you a cookie, for I have the internet too.Inquisitor Slayde said:
To be honest, Gears and Halo, specially gears, are closer to Duke Nukem in the immature faggotry spectrum than to Half Life.MASTACHIEFPWN said:
Duke Nukem is mindless fun, it's like painkiller, you play it for the cheesyness and for the explosions and swearing and immaturity. That doesn't make it a worse concept for a game than Half Life, even if it ends up being implemented poorly. Half Life doesn't sell on maturity, it sells on being a perfect game, made by a developer I would consider perfectionist.
I honestly think it'll be a disappointment. If only because it's taken about 10 years to be released, and people will probably have stupidly high expectations. It doesn't really matter much to me though, if I'm honest, I'm not interested at all in it.
I see it as possible. But like I said so many times, whether it sucks or not, Im buying it just to say I have it... that and becasue I was waiting for 12 fucking years...
Grammer Nazi arround here. And yes, I did get my info from videogame post sales charts. And what diffrence does 2 years make? And yes, I understand the game is a parody, but it is an old joke that people think will be a good idea to bring back to life, even though they no it isn't funny anymore. Grow up, man.TEMHOTA said:

To retaliate my expect comback of you, both half life and duke nukem have sorces of where the information was recived from.
Whether or not the game itself is a load of reeking feces is irrelevant to me. The game itself is sort of a piece of gaming history, and the main character is an icon of gaming's glory days. Honestly, I'm glad the Duke is coming back and I hope he puts a boot up the FPS genre's ass to straighten it out.
A word on the game's content: Knowing who the main character is and the premise behind the many games he's been in, what do you think it's going to be like? It's not going to be a serious and dramatic soap like Halo. Hell no, it's going to be STEEL-balls-to-the-walls action, humor, and all-around awesomeness!
Duke Nukem, in my opinion, is a breath of fresh air in the FPS genre that breaks up the monotony of faceless super-soldiers in space and one-dimensional cookie-cutter 'war stories' that exist these days. When's the last time you've seen a faceless/nameless soldier in a game get some serious action like the Duke, or staved off an entire alien invasion of Earth ON HIS OWN, with minimal, if any help from an organized military outfit?
Sorry to rant like that, but I get kind of carried away sometimes. Please, carry on.

Like I said before, I never anticipated it, I only laughed as it crawled for the "This is my last chance" Escape pod, and then I suddenly turned to super serious face when it got there. But yeah, I can see your anticipation.WanderingFool said:
