Duke Nukem Forever Angry Review

[@SandorBundaMusic]

Out of the legendary trio, only Wolfenstein and Doom made it through. Damn it Duke.

[@OtterVal]

it's hilarious how serious sam is better then duke nukem.

[@SandorBundaMusic]

TheKeilanm Only better than last Duke tho. Nothing equals the good old Duke 3D.

[@Entropy3ko]

Only Doom. The new Wolfenstein are not that great either. I think Bethesda really surprised people this time making the game the way it's supposed to be, with a balance of nostalgic gameplay and modern elements.

[@SandorBundaMusic]

Entropy3ko Compared to DNF, new Wolfenstein is still a good game, that reminded you those good old times of Wolfenstein 3D and was fun to play. Duke haven't do either.

[@edvance1030]

I hope they give Duke another chance. He deserves it. Make Duke Nukem 5, but this time do it right.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

If they want to make a good Duke Nukem game, go the Doom 2016 route. The whole premise is cheesy so why try to play it up as being any kind of serious? Just go with high octane action and make it as cheesy as possible, Duke Nukem was a parody of action movies, just make it as ridiculous as humanly possible. DNF seemed like it was trying to take a somewhat serious route as well as trying to do several things at once. Some say Duke's personality just isn't funny anymore but that's not it at all, you can still make Duke hilarious, just give him the right direction and play up the hamminess.

[@cheriftekouk7870]

[@kalpeshrawat418]

Dan Root 3d realms should have released it the way it was. They were the best in making shooter games. I'm really broken to see that we never received the Duke Nukem Forever from 2001. Did 3d realms got bankrupt or were they too obsessed to make it too good to milk out more money?

[@wolfgamer95261]

Doom 2016: example of a sequel that is treated with care from the original. Duke Nukem Forever: example of a sequel that abuses the franchise put together.

[@ChapSnat752]

or an example of what happens when you take more than 12 years worth of development only to realise that you wasted all that time for nothing

[@wolfgamer95261]

Punished Shia I agree

[@webdudeman]

in all fairness it was in development hell for 12 years... Doom was not, and handled by professionals

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

+That Guy Doom 4 was set to become even worse than Duke Nukem Forever since the original version looked like some boring rebellion war shooter. Thankfully, they learned from that and scrapped it, resulting in something that truly feels like Doom. It wasn't perfect, the arena shooting got repetitive after a while, but it was still high octane action, something DNF lacks a lot of the time.

7 years later, and not a sign of another Duke game in sight. I pre-ordered this game for 50€ back then, and it quickly dropped to 5€ in various bargain bins. It's downright shameful to see Duke end up this way.

[@ProfessorGopher2030]

Duke, by today's standards, is unacceptable in the eyes of the public. The concepts of Duke would cause public outcry about misogyny and female objectification. So really, even if they WANTED to bring Duke back, they COULDN'T. No matter what they did, it would be received poorly. If they changed Duke to be in-line with today's standards, hardcore fans would be like, "That's not Duke". But if they kept the Duke we know from the past, they would get BASHED by the public and face legal trouble up the ass. Duke sadly has no place in today's day and age.

That is just dull imo because moving while dealing with the situation (kicking alien ass) is the most fun thing to do. I don't ever think it's a good idea to have duke freakin nukem hiding behind cover waiting for health to magically reappear. Weapon limit to 4 weapons is not enough. This is DUKE NUKEM we're talking about, not cod or halo and thus you have to have 10 weapons at your disposal..

Ego system could have been easily implemented without regen. Just use New Wolfenstein's system of overheals (ex. by killing enemies with fatalities you get ego back) and use them for temporary abilities like damage reduction, special moves, chain kills etc. Or combo kills to get ego overheal. An enemies would be much ore dangerous to offset this. So many options to be badass. But nope. Gotta use cover.

[@tepat2]

***** Yeah, why would we need to play the game when this review clearly shows the nonsensical bullshit the game has and thus makes people realize it's not worth anything.

[@tepat2]

***** No, the reviews that people like Joe do show off a lot of the gameplay. And in this game's case, the gameplay was completely and utterly terrible. Reviews are there for people to decide the worth of the game. They can listen to the reviewer and their opinions, or decide from what is presented whether it is worth their time.

[@tepat2]

***** True, just like this game doesn't meet today's standards. Most FPS games have a much more in depth story and better graphics, like Crysis. This game, as best said by joe, is "a generic FPS game with a Duke Nukem paint job". A great example of an old shooter being remade is Shadow Warrior. The game, while being extremely more different and advanced than the original, still keeps root to some of the originality. You still play Lou Wang, just younger and more dialogue is there. That game is an example of what Duke Nukem Forever should have been. But, it is in the past. And the best way for us to go is to learn the mistakes from this game so they won't be made again.

[@tepat2]

***** Also, I noticed you play this game a lot on your channel, especially on your first angry rant video. Well said on the video. So it seems you do have a bias towards this game clearly seen in this comment section and the videos.

[@tepat2]

***** It's ok.

[@henryca03]

Duke Nukem Forever is Brooks' Law personified: adding programmers late in a software project makes it later. If George Broussard had not been a perfectionist and stuck with either the Quake II or Unreal engine, DNF may have been a fun game. Good gameplay can forgive bad graphics, but good graphics can never forgive bad gameplay.

[@solidsnake8008]

"Good gameplay can forgive bad graphics, but good graphics can never forgive bad gameplay." This is well beyond true, just take in the fact the boomer shooters are still being made! 3D Realms recently made Ion Fury, Dusk was recently released, Nightmare reaper, Prodeus, Amid Evil, Doom Eternal, and even more are being made and you know what? These games are awesome and at least most of them don't have eye stunning graphics.

I think the main problem wasn't team swapping, but 3D Realms scrapping the game and starting over again 3 or 4 times with a brand new engine each time.

You know, I went back to my old N64 just recently to check out something to see if I just dreamed it or not, Joe. And I was not. In the old Duke Nukem game when you came across a girl in an alien pod, you had the chance to either kill or free her from the pod. And at the end of the level you have a counter of how many girls you saved on that level. I am wondering where in the world happened to that ability or choice?? I played many Duke Nukem games and in most you had this choice of saving the girls but in the last few ones that I played, that option or choice was removed. I don't get it, for now all they want to do is make Duke look more of an ass than the savior of the girls.

[@natsume-hime2473]

Since the vast overwhelming majority of games use the PC version of Duke Nukem 3D as their basis... That's why. You couldn't free the girls in that game, or really any of it's expansions. Duke Nukem 3D was a massive departure for the franchise too, since it started as a pretty bland pair of PC-DOS side scrolling shooters. So the reason you can't save the Girls in DNF is because you couldn't save them in Duke Nukem 3D. None of the console games were developed by 3D Realms, neither were most of the Duke Nukem 3D expansions, so they never implemented a "save the chicks" mechanic to start with.

[@draketwolf9008]

Natsume-Hime It is a shame that option is no longer a factor within DN anymore. For that fact, a few games with a save option in the past is no longer there in their newer releases.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

Personally, I prefer being able to save them. It has more of a heroic feeling to it, which isn't that what Duke is? Duke Nukem Zero Hour integrated it in fairly well with the captured babes even talking about how they'll repay you as you save them.

[@LordofMovies91]

@@VGamingJunkieVT I can hear the sound we get from saving them just from reading your comment

[@solidsnake8008]

@@natsume-hime2473 The reason why you couldn't save the babes at the time was because of the era of tech, when duke 3d was ported to the n64 that feature was implemented which even included a counter of how many babes you saved. DNF portrayed Duke in the worst way possible and completely switch the tone of the charming badass action hero to the ego stroking sociopath, when you kill a babe in duke 3d Duke will say something like "dam" in a really bummed out tone, when you kill a babe in dnf Duke doesn't say a word.
