Trailers: Duke Nukem Forever: Another Important Message

[yackiemon]

Never played Nuke Em but my things is the exclusive material. It might be nice to give people who pre-order your game rewards but that should be something like a cool gun or something. Not a the actual demo that should be given so as many people can experience the game as soon as possible more people who like it more who will buy it. My opinion, probably should rant on their actual website but demos are for experience not a reward to people who will buy the game. Thats crappy logic.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

My stomach dropped when I saw that sign. Nice one, guys. I'm about to preorder this and inFamous 2 tomorrow. I'm really rooting for this game.

 

[The Random One]

Is there a joke behind the 'excecutive' gag, or...

 

[Jumplion]

Oh man, they really had me there. That would have sucked if Duke Nukem Forever was delayed yet again.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

At first I was like: NO! NO! NO! NOT ANOTHER DELAY! DX

FFUUUUUUUUUUU-

Then I was like: Oh, it is the demo... Ok. That is good I guess.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

Why do you need a demo for a game you've already bought?...a few days before it comes out.

The demo should surely be for the skeptics.

 

[Cliff_m85]

Ahhh they had me there! Good one guys, good one.

Still, as I'm probably not going to pre-order, I won't be playing the demo. No matter, this is one of the games I'm going to buy in good faith. Taking a gamble every now and then makes life just that bit more exciting.

I'm buying it for three reasons....

1) Hope that it's going to be a true Duke game (achievement listing suggests YES!!!) (20%)
2) To say that I bought a game I waited 13 years for (30%)
3) To be able to LEGITIMATELY rage at how it fails in comparison to Duke 3D (50%)

yes. the tangential relation makes it "mature" by association. this is a family friendly site you know.

Which explains why you can watch Yahtzee without an age check.

I know, right?

To be honest I was starting to think they were developing the game just for the kicks of fooling everyone for a minute there. I have to say I love the sense of humor they have with these videos, the first delay in particular didn't leave me pissed off/disappointed, just admiring the way they handled it.

#3 there is going to account for 80% of the sales

 

[samsonguy920]

That display is uncanny. The lighting all around fits the room so well I keep expecting Duke to get up and walk up behind Randy.

And yay for being First Access! And Yay for Steam sales so I could get Borderlands GOTY!

And YAY for Demo in under a month!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

 

[Drakmeire]

ohh my heart skipped a beat. can't wait to play this game. I think more games should be like this, it clearly doesn't take itself seriously, it's the embodiment of everything that was terrible about the 90's (used for great satire), and will hopefully take shots at the state of current FPS games.
I'll say it again, Can't wait.

 

[Hauntghost20]

The moment that guy came with the sign i was like OMGWTF DUKE NOT COME SOON?!!!

 

[captain underpants]

Also, is anyone else worried that the Australians won't be able to play it? As it, it will get banned like Mortal Kombat.

I heard it's already passed the classification process no worries. We'll be getting it. I'm seeing the pre-order boxes on the shelves now.

Also, I really like that Randy Pitchford. He always gives me a chuckle.

 

[Sonicron]

I want to take this guy out for a night on the town. He seems like insane amounts of fun to be around. ^^

Don't have enough money for a pre-order right now... buying a car really puts a dent in your wallet! :\ Oh well, it's not like I'll get bored waiting for the full game, so it's alright.

Captcha: intestinal onsayse... that sounds unhealthy. My God, has Captcha invented a new disease?! Get it away from me!!!

 

[Slanzinger]

Personally I have no real interest in this game...
I was just half expecting there to be some "coincident with the Rapture" joke!
Well played though, Gearbox.

 

[loogie]

Not entirely sure how people are thinking this will still be a good game...

I also agree that a demo is to make people decide they want to buy games, it's not to give early access to those who've already decided they are buying it.

 

[farq1414]

o fuck you guys i was about to rage but thank god and still i love how i'm getting the game before you americans do

 

[Nocta-Aeterna]

Haha, almost got me there, mr. Pitchford. You know, if it was another delay, I'd say it was purely for marketing purposes; ya know, stretching the joke a bit longer.

 

[Realitycrash]

Ugh. Only thing that pisses me off at this is that we will have a TON of people on the Escapist posting after the just played the demo "Meh, it sucks", and ruins it for the rest of us.
