I doesn't look good at all. I have a friend who keeps talking about it and said it will be ten times better than half life 2.
Well if Jim Sterling interprets the quote like that, then it must mean what he says it does.Inkidu said:Look up this week's Jimquisition. He quotes Pitchford. Anyway, if you have to wonder then it's not.

I'm wondering why games like this are even being made.

BRING ON THE BACKWARDS.
If this is ruining gaming, let's burn gaming to the ground, then. I want more stuff like it.
Well... maybe he deserves a little bit of praise, for singlehandedly saving the Earth from an alien invasion and all that jazz.ThatDaveDude1 said:We know that Duke Nukem isn't deserving of any praise.
What? No! The gaming world is not filled with enough realistic shooters that make us fight Russians or middle easterns, and save the world or cause WW3 all over again. Oh wait...L3m0n_L1m3 said:No, you are not. In fact, you are never the only one.Inchronica said:Am I the only one who
And its entire purpose is to be a satirically over-the-top game, which is a nice change of pace from the samey-shooter games being spewed out now.

Duke's over-the-topness really is an extension of that. No-one bats an eye when one of the Blazkowicz or Gordon Freeman saves the world. With Duke Nukem they draw attention to the ridiculousness of it by giving him an over-the-top personality that clashes so completely with what we usually see in heroes.
As long as there is one person laughing in the world, then the joke was worth telling. To that single person, it's the funniest fucking thing in the universe, because nobody else is laughing.Inchronica said:Am I the only one who is not excited for this game what so ever?

This is what gets me most of all about DNF. The fact it is being claimed as this clever pastiche of the modern day machoism of male leads in shooters, as if they are delivering this bitingly clever satire on modern gaming. No, you've just taken a character from the 90s and transplanted him into the year 2011 and by some happy coincidence he suddenly seems all "new" and "fresh".Inkidu said:Yeah, the sad part is Pitchford is really taking Duke seriously, and the game itself seems to be taking itself seriously.Inchronica said:Am I the only one who is not excited for this game what so ever?

The Duke kind of came out when I was growing up, but I never got into it. Because I wasn't a rebellious kind of kid, and two I didn't buy M-rated games just because. The Nuke fandom kind of passed me by.
I fail to see his relevance in modern gaming, but I won't deny fans their thirteen-year wait. Nostalgia is the biggest thing going for DNF.
