Your Duke voice always brings a smile to my face. You nail it so hard it always takes me a while to realize it isn't the actual game talking.

[@unbridledenthusiasm]

One of the reasons this game was so great is it was the first time, that I can think of, that an FPS portrayed realistic locations (movie theater, strip club, hotels, etc) in a really effective way. That made it stand out. This made the gameplay, interactivity, weapons etc that much better.

[@giacomogotta2253]

It was also the first time you could move so freely, in a real 3d way. In doom or quake a 20cm step was like a concrete wall

[@nonymouswisp8176]

​@Giacomo Gotta duke is 2d like doom bt with more advanced techniques for 3d illusion, quake is fully 3d

[@gtochld11]

Your commentary about all the interactivity is so true. When I was a kid I was amazed by all the buttons, destructible objects, etc. I would just stare at a wall and shoot bullet-holes in it; spelling my name, drawing, whatever. These little things are overlooked today, and frankly sound pretty silly, but back then it was amazing.

Duke Nukem 3D had more interactivity than most FPSs from the last 10 years or so.

[@Solaxe]

yeah because it was much simpler and easier to make than most of those FPSs

[@bitset3741]

@@Solaxe Simpler in some ways because to tech limits, but I doubt it was easier to make. A lot of FPSs now run on premade engines, which is totally fine, but changes the difficulty rather than really making it easier. There is a lot more to keep up on, a lot more "large project" management, but much less tight efficient coding.

[@Ford.Prefect]

@@Solaxe Yeah, making an engine, creating game assets, visuals, sounds, physics is a lot easier than just using a ready to use engine like UE4 or Unity, use a modern editor and make use of premade assets. Sure.

Alright man, well you, Gmanlives, and plenty others finally did it. I regularly hear praise of the game and i saw there was a ps4 copy for the 20th anniversary and i picked it up on black friday. Just recently (actually on christmas morning) i had finished the final new level and now was ready to rewatch all the reviews that brought me there and appreciating the passion from everyone because as gman would say "damn son, you pop that sucker you, youre gonna have a good time" I havent felt the joy and excitment from a game in a hot minute, and the fact that its a 20 year old game with minor changes blows my mind. I was staying up late with the glow of the tv illuminating me, not wanting to save and come back in the morning because i had just one more chapter to go. Its aged like fine wine and its one of the most satisfying experiences ive had with a game, well worth the 15$ i paid. My only regret is its yet another thing I'll love forever but will always only be able to imagine what it was like when you were playing it at launch as a new game

[@Blunt_Man]

My dad got this so we could play together when I was 5, I shot and opened doors while he moved Duke and jumped iirc, idk, it's been 30 years. Anyways it was awesome! We beat it and even got the expansion, I don't remember if we beat that but I know we at least got to the mock Disneyland episode. I downloaded it again when I was 14-15, had a ton of fun replaying it through the eyes of someone mature enough to get the content that went right over my head as a young kid. A few years ago I got the Xbox version and it was beyond nostalgic, it'll always hold a special place in my memory!

Back in 1996, when we would routinely go to the local business expo, (I was 6 years old), most of it was boring. But for that one expo, and that one expo only, the local computer shop had a PC running Duke Nukem 3D, and they would let you play it (much like Target used (?) to let you play consoles). I spent the entire expo playing the first couple levels. It was the most amazing experience ever. Wolf3d was in some far off castle, Doom was on Mars, but Duke3d was on Earth, and had libraries, and pig cops, and nightclubs. The most amazing thing ever was flicking a light switch and having it work, not just be a texture on the wall. Of course, I never really got into and played Duke3d much after that experience because Quake came out. But that experience stuck with me, much like the experience you described when you reviewed Doom.

[@CousinJesse1]

I love the aesthetic of games from this era, like the city skyline in the first level.

My first experience with Duke Nukem was actually Time To Kill on PS1. I played the hell out of that game up one side and down the other until I memorized every secret and knew it all like the back of my hand. Loved that game. Then I lent it to a friend and ended up never getting it back. Some time after getting into it though, I learned that among the handful of games my Uncle had installed on his mid-90s-era Acer desktop PC was Duke3D. I scrambled to try it out, of course, and it blew my mind, not just because what an awesome gaming experience it was, but how different it was from Time To Kill, which to be honest was more like Tomb Raider than Duke3D(not that that made it a bad game ofc). Since then, Duke3D has become one of my all-time favorite titles on PC, and is on the short list of games I never get tired of, and still go back to regularly as the years wind on. I just picked it up on my Nintendo Switch Lite, even.☢

I didn't have a PC back then. Somewhat of a blessing, since it forced me to improve my coding skills on some old computers that didn't play addictive and nauseating newschool games... But Duke Nukem 3D.. It was so cool, in basically all aspects: technical, gameplay wise, artistically, and in terms of humor.. I just dreamed of owning a PC because of that. I was much less impressed with Doom, Quake or Descent.. I was less impressed with even Unreal or Halo. All of those were stand-out FPS, but when it comes to the whole package, I think Duke Nukem 3D is one of the best FPS of all time. Hell, even when Quake came along and took the technical crown... my class mates went back to Duke Nuke after a while to settle their LAN death matches. Enough said. A great detailed retrospective.

This game grabbed me by the balls when I first encountered its Atomic Edition at a friend's house, and I spent my very next allowance purchasing it. Didn't stop playing every day after school until I'd beaten it, too. A near flawless title, in my opinion.

Those feels when you can't tell if the ending narration is actually Jon St. John or just LGR's spot-on impression.

So after watching - to be honest, bullet holes didn't become a standard until, idk, 2007?, and I can't remember a single other game with animated blood splatters that streak down the wall, it usually is a static texture. Especially since many game designers have forgotten concept of "immersion", as contextual controls with over-the-top 3rd person animations (often for instant melee kills, that have also crept to DOOM via Brutal Doom and DOOM 4) that take you out of the game and remind you that it's just this, a game, became fashionable for.. some reason.

Bought this when it came out. Logged many many hours playing via modem against a friend. One of the best games of all time for sure. Fond memories!

[@JessicaLaFramboise]

Oh now this brings back memories! I loved this game! My husband figured out how to get into the files and make yourself invincible, so that's how I always played (I was prone to getting squished or blowing myself up and that kept the frustration down). :D I guess the only problem to that was that I could play way longer at a time than I normally could and would have dreams involving Pig Cops and Octobrains. O_O I think we had the Kill-A-Ton collection. I also liked Duke 1 and 2. ;D

[@TomBudin]

i still love your duke nukem impression

[@PatrickDKing]

Wow, after all these years I didn't realize there was an editor and online part of the game.

[@hoog6260]

Duke Nukem 3D was a game that my dad played when it came out in the late 90's and when I was 7 he showed it to me and taught me how to play it (with adult content off). I certainly agree that is the best pc game of the 90's and even the early 2000's. I still play it often on my PS3 and pc and still a fun game to play.

[@dntapringl8314]

15:41: And that was the best part of the game IMO. Just standing still for about a minute while Duke tells you to hurry up.

[@matternicuss]

Even today the levels in this game amaze me with how well crafted they are. You can zip through them in a matter of minutes, but I've spent upwards of about 25~30 mins just wandering around each individual level, looking for secrets, easter eggs, etc.
