The Duke Nukem Forever "Is it a flopzilla?" Thread

[Logan]

The demo is 90 percent away from me. This is the first impression thread.

 

[Jay]

Do midgets have nightvision?

 

[Dave]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Logan]

TIME TO STOP PISSIN AROUND AND GET THIS BIG GUY BACK INTO ACTION

 

[Logan]

Doo Doo.

 

[Logan]

Talked for travis for 2 seconds and got killed. Game has hung in the loading screen, won't reload the game automatically. Had to do it manually.

 

[Logan]

Went to reload save after this debacle, black screened and had to dashboard it.

WOW.

 

[Jay]

GOTY

(haven't played it yet)

 

[Logan]

38 seconds to load the Cycloid level. Damn.

 

[Jay]

5% left

 

[Logan]

39 seconds for level 2.

 

[Logan]

Clipped into the geometry, having to load last save.

 

[Logan]

31 seconds to reload a checkpoint.

 

[Logan]

35 seconds to reload a checkpoint.

 

[Jay]

The demo's way too damned short.

 

[Dave]

I'm crackin' up!

 

[Logan]

Uh one of the shortest demos I've ever played. Not to mention it wasn't any good. I mean damn.

First Impressions!

+ One liners
+ Felt like Duke

- Woefully short
- Buggy
- Hideous
- Horrific frame rate


I'd give the demo a 3/10, which doesn't leave me high hopes for the game.

 

[Jay]

I'd...

Agree.

I really hope the final game is better than this.

 

[Chris]

Short as hell. Can't say I was expecting some great game though.

 

[Jay]

The shooting is solid. Everything else isn't.

If the full game focuses on the shooting and the character of Duke, it'll be a blast to play.

If the full game is like the demo, I'll only play through it once.

A sad swan song from 3DRealms. I hope the inevitable sequel developed in full by Gearbox will be better.
