Poll: Will you buy Duke Nukem Forever?

[Kermi]

I still don't see the point of all this. If I had been more subtle would it have been better? As in option3: I will try the game first, then make up my mind; Also, just because it's not there in the poll it means that it's not an option? that it doesn't exist, that no one is going to pirate the game? No, of course not. I'm not sure people would admit to wanting to pirate the game either. No one here has mentioned it.

That would be because a bunch of people who used to go with the "I'm just going to pirate it" response have been put on probation or banned.

I don't have a next generation console. So no.

Now I see... thanks for the clarification. Also I would like to apologize to everyone, I never meant to put any of you in trouble by adding shady options to my poll .

 

[Tipsy Giant]

of course, it is a franchise I liked, DN3D was my favourite fps from the doom era, so why wouldn't I?

everyone acts like it not coming out broke their heart, I just forgot about it and now its a delicious surprise

 

[DementedSheep]

Maybe. I've never played Duke Nukem but it looks like it could be fun. Yes its over the top but that?s the point, right?
I probably won't be getting it for quite a while tho, if I get it at all. Hopefully there will be a demo.

Oh, I doubt anyone here got banned, just generally the Escapist mods have been cracking down pretty hard on that kind of thing.

Duke Nukem Forever, if anything I believe will just be a above standard, well-polished FPS. Although I won't wait for someone to clarify if it's "good" or not, I'll decide that myself.

Considering people are putting games that are coming out in 2010 first, probably means they'll see it in their hands eventually.

Because it's out in 2011.

 

[Scarecrow]

Ever since it's been announced that the game is finally coming out it's the center of most discussions. I talked about it with a friend, and he asked me that question, to which I replied "Always bet on Duke!". He'll get it too for the sheer epicness of something coming back after 12 years. What will you do?

Edit: Piracy is not an option and will not be accepted by this site ~Mod

The hell you on about?

There is no DNF and there never will be.

It was announced at PAX2010 and the game will actually be released the end of this year or the beginning of the next.

Oh shit!

Well I still don't think I will buy it. I've got other games to buy. Games that are fun.

 

[vviki]

I don't have a next generation console. So no.

It will be released on PC as well, and from what I see and hear it will use the Unreal 2.5 engine, which shouldn't be that hard on your machine, even if it's not the newest model.

 

[Makenzye]

Hells yeah, bro. Nobody ever accused me of financially responsible behavior, why wouldn't I?

 

[Trikeen]

YES YES YES YES x 1000 YES!

 

[Stephen Proud]

Never played Duke Nukem so I probably won't.

 

[vviki]

Once it's a little cheaper?... I know there's a very high chance it'll be just another decent FPS, and nothing more.
But dammit, once it's cheaper, I know that I'll be getting it.

Thought of adding this option, "when it's cheaper", but then that means waiting maybe even one more year and some can't take that

 

[diego_2112]

That's the spirit I'm looking for. Get it no matter what, it is Duke Nukem after all. Always bet on him!

To quote James Hetfield: You're Damn Right!

The Duke games have ALWAYS been good, clean, wholesome, dirty sexy fun! As long as they dont cock that up, I dont see it as being a bad game!

 

[vviki]

Most likely. I'm tired of the budget-conscious, marketing-driven, design-by-committee sandbox console third-person cover shooters with RPG elements, vehicle sections, love plots and just enough of controversy to make it interesting for the non-gaming media.

I JUST WANT TO SHOOT STUFF DAMMIT, in at least one game! And have fun you know!

Damn straight, "variety is the spice of life", and the time has sweetened it here, because all the FPS-es at the time 1998, were basically the same: monsters/na'zi shot with variety of imagined guns. And released today, it's unique. Still the original thing about this series is the character himself. Duke Nukem is like no other. No space suit of armor, no regenerating health, a lot of weapons including his mighty foot. I saw one-liners in Gears of War, but it wasn't the same. There are too many dudes and too few women in GoW and the Duke is all about the ladies. Hail to the king, baby!

The only Duke Nukem game I've ever played was the original one... y'know, back when it was still a goofy little side scroller. I've never really seen the appeal of his later incarnations; it just seems like one massive ball of crudeness. So no, I don't plan on getting this overhyped and overly belated sequel.

Over hyped? This game doesn't need hype. It was hyped a long time ago and that's then. Now, only the mention of it's name makes people crazy "...with a new Duke Nukem teaser. In an stroke all the anticipation, that we haven't felt since 1998, returned like a taser gun to the base of the spine..."

 

[Plurralbles]

Nope. Probably not. I don't have the will to play any more games on top of what I already am.

No worries, game is expected Q4 2011 so by then some of your schedule will be cleared .
