Duke Nukem Forever Tries Its Hand at Parody in New DLC

[Laser Priest]

There's a difference between parody and references.

 

[tehweave]

Should... We care?

 

[Stalydan]

Not parodies. References. Duke, stop trying to be vastly superior games that you're not. You're like annoying kid in the playground that tries hanging around with the other kids that are better than you, hoping you'll fit in because your mother says your "funny", which you aren't. You just make people cringe.

 

[Dutch 924]

They may have put a nice name on it, but it's still a weak attempt at copying other, more popular games out there

 

[Mr.Amakir]

Does Duke Nukem Forever even have a solid enough online community to warrant DLC packs?

Either way, it sounds entertaining, especially the freeze-tag mode.

Freeze tag was already done in Combat Arms.

And it have already been done in Quake 3 too.

Why would I want to play a parody of TF2 instead of playing TF2?, even better now that it's free (if you don't include hats).

 

[Dr. wonderful]

2fort1bridge?

You making fun of TF2? When your game was so damn horrible, I know men who cried over it? Fuck you Duke, you played out worser then CDI.

 

[Formica Archonis]

Then I see that it's just parodying and insulting other BETTER games. There's nothing more pathetic than a lousy game poking fun at games far better than it.

They've even failed at Parody. How sad.

Sadly, it's exactly what I expected. When your top dog utters phrases comparable to "Would Duke Nukem REALLY say that?" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQLqjm_njhk&feature=player_detailpage#t=3662s] and refuses to let grubby little testers play his magnum opus then you can't expect anything BUT a self-important parody of better works because Duke Nukem is Serious Business.

This DLC is going to be awesome, but I'm really waiting for the Singleplayer DLC. Hopefully mod tools will also be released!

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Bad game gets DLC? Hahaha, right. Yeah, I'll totally buy that. That game got boomerang'd to Gamefly damn near as soon as I got it. Now if they put out a patch/free DLC that made the game actually good?

Nope. Not even then.

 

[Sartan0]

I love mini-duke levels so I would pick this up for another one of those alone.

 

[Panzervaughn]

I tried out Dukes multiplayer one night, discovered movement felt slow and terrible and inaccurate in firefights, compared to things like TF2. and swore it off. I ALSO discovered that theres an unlock system where the more you play, the more shit you uncrate in your Duke Mansion.

There is Numbers to grind and useless shit to look at, INSTANT online community. It might just be 50 guys that really want that 20foot tall golden cleavage in their foyer, but there WILL be an audience for DLC , dangnabit.

 

[Kenji_03]

This is all good and well, but what about a cheat to remove that lame 2 weapon rule? As that's all I really want out of my "first Access club" membership.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

hm....enough DLC releases could mean a possible GOTY edition or, complete edition of DNF. Of course that kind of thing wouldn't be released for another year or 7.

I'm still waiting for the price to drop before I pick up my copy of DNF. DLC can wait. This seems like a strictly multiplayer kind of deal anyway and screw that.

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

Cry some......moar?

How do you even parody TeamFortress 2? It's not like the game is even serious or anything.

They parodied THEMSELVES, http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Towering_Pillar_of_Hats
