In this episode, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, Easter eggs and history from the Duke Nukem series!
Duke Nukem started out as an MS-DOS 2D platformer series, but eventually became a 3D shooter that helped define the PC gaming space. Although Duke Nukem 3D was praised, Duke Nukem Forever was critically panned, and was stuck in development hell for many years, and was even accused of being vaporware. Through our analysis of the series, its gameplay and beta builds, we hope to show some interesting facts from the making of Duke Nukem and have its history explained.

You should hear his Duke Nucem impression. It is spot on.

[@LucaShoal]

Clint, the guy from Lazy Game Reviews, who's quite a fan of Duke, and lending his vocal talent to this episode of DYKG? He's commonly known as the LGR guy.

[@technopoptart]

for sure he IS the best internet personality for the job XD

They couldn't pick a better guy. He's the biggest KZbinr who is a Duke Nukem fan.

[@JohnathanMahones]

Don't worry guys, I am just expressing my surprise about an episode that I was actually predicting about. I am a huge fan of LGR and I am pleased to see what I have dreamed of came to life.

[@donzaloog1400]

We need another Duke Nukem game. They rebooted Doom. They can do it for the Duke. And don't you dare modernize him. I want him to be just as crass as ever.

[@Batchall_Accepted]

I like the idea of everyone else thinking he's a complete fucking jackass but they need him so they just have to put up with his shit.

[@northwindkey]

A Politically Correct Duke Nukem would be like Deadpool without a mouth... Oh.

[@SkullBran]

A politically correct Duke would be like Doom without the violence

[@ComicWriter-ml3qt]

donzaloog1400 the game would have to be ironic. As in, duke can keep his personality, but the audience is laughing at him. Because his jokes are outdated, as is he as a character.

[@zekun4741]

@@ComicWriter-ml3qt How about no? Duke was always a caricature, a caricature you like. And for most normal people he's not outdated, there is nothing wrong with being a sexual man.

I can just imagine you, on your knees in the rain. Screaming DAMN YOU!!!

[@ChristopherYeeMon]

What do you mean? Without Randy they would have gone out of business. The IP needs a cooldown

[@JakeTheVoice]

It sounds weird but Randy does love the Duke IP. I suppose he's a bit cautious now since DN3D World Tour was not the smash hit port he was expecting, but he said in the Duke4.net livestream he would gladly let people like Slipgate Studios run with the Duke IP for a side-scroller, and that he wants to re-release every Duke game in one package with as much behind-the-scenes content as possible. I doubt it'll happen anytime soon, mind you. Hopefully *that* won't take 15 years, too.

[@martinalejandromartinez1328]

I'll always love Duke Nukem 3D, I started playing it with my dad on PC when I was like 5 right after it came out and it was such a fucking awesome game for it's time! Even now it's a great game, simplistic but still an absolutely great game! We'd play to where I would shoot the aliens and open doors then he'd control the walking, one or the other. It made for a really good bonding experience, we even got the atomic addition after we realized how much we liked the game! I swear, it must of taken us over a year to finish every level...

[@thedogmaticdirector]

"Do you want to pay $60 to feel like crap? No!" Randy says, as he proceeds to insert The Hive level in DNF.

Excellent work, dude. Very informative.

[@JohnnyMatherson]

wow not used to LGR talking so fast through the video, very un-lazy gamer like :D

[@RealRomplayer]

According to Wikipedia there are 13 titles in the Duke Nukem franchise. This video however only features 3D and Forever :( At least Duke Nukem I and II could have gotten a bit more time.

[@therealDannyVasquez]

Awww. 😢 Here... 🍭 Do you feel better now?

[@NoESanity]

1. There are only 4 main series games. The other 9 consist of spinoffs and ports. 2. DN1&2 were mentioned and DN 2 was shown. 3. there are 15 titles, not including duke begins.

[@RealRomplayer]

@Danny: Well... a bit, I guess. Thanks!

[@chilliophillio1645]

RealRomplayer so LGR has more duke nukem stuff if you are interested.

Loved the video, what’s the song playing at the end when you’re talking about your other videos and channel?

[@thischannelisnowabandoned5749]

I've been waiting for a dykg episode on duke nukem for ages

[@NukeA6]

Before the gay robot, Bombshell was supposed to be Duke Nukem's sidekick in Duke Nukem Forever. In the end, she got her own game which bombed (no pun intended). In addition to that, Bombshell was supposed to have a free FPS game built with the Build engine (same engine for Duke3D, Blood, and Shadow Warrior) which was supposed to advertise the game but it has been delayed so much that it probably got abandoned.

[@ArcturusOTE]

At least we got Ion Fury

[@tearlach47]

[@CesarDaSalad]

Did you know? Duke Nukem Forever isn't a bad game. It's just a decent game released 10 years too late, long after the time when it would've been considered a good game.

[@YouSoSpice]

Did you know you're full of shit? It's a slow, clunky, hideous and boring dumpster fire of game regardless of the year it got released.

[@Chactemal]

DrIvanRadosivic it looked like shit when it came out,looks like a bigger shit now,

[@1ex1uger-prank-calls]

It's not bad, but it is a disappointing sequel to DN3D and has major problems.

[@TekMoliGy]

duke nukem forever is one of the most underrated games of all time

[@TheJDeuce]

It was definitely overrated and such, but I would definitely give it another full game play (if I didn't trade it in for pennies at Gamestop, those bastards).

[@Halfded54]

*Hail to the king, baby*

[@fsfaith]

I was watching it thinking it was another LGR thing but then remembered I clicked on DYKG. Good collab.

[@SonicFanDU]

OMG! LGR & DYKG finally did it!

[@Dargonhuman]

Bow chicka bow wow?

[@Sevenigma777]

Lol @ George Boussard who says reason why DNF took so long was "due to the complexity of modern game design". Meanwhile Final Fantasy 7-14 came out in during those 15 years. We're those games not complex????

[@RedEquine]

6:30 Funny how it's actually accurate to the Dead Space series today.

[@1ex1uger-prank-calls]

At 0:11, you said that DNF was originally developed as a 2D side-scrolling game. I think this is an error, as it seems strange that 3D Realms would go back to 2D gameplay for the next major installment in the Duke series after the previous installment (Duke Nukem 3D) had been in 3D, or 2.5D to be precise from a technological standpoint. Yes, I know there was Duke Nukem: The Manhattan Project, but that was more of a retro-style spinoff of Duke Nukem I and II rather than a proper sequel to Duke Nukem 3D.

[@0rderSol]

Joke's on Duke, I'll be pre-ordering Shadow Warrior 3 on day 1. The reboot is that good.

[@RMJ1984]

I really want to play the 1998 version. Someone, somewhere must have access to the project files. Surely they didn't just delete it all.

[@sourabrahman8997]

We need to find this location and maybe bribe them into borrowing us the files. It would be a great sad waste of time and money and man and woman hours. Imagine how cool some of the levels would have been!! So sad !?!!!?! 🥴😊😭

[@CorruptCartridgeGamer]

Great to see you here Clint!

[@calebchild8319]

Aww, I was hoping for more behind-the-scenes and development trivia, especially for Duke 3D. There's a lot you can talk about just with the development of the engine technology. Just talking about the references in the game is kind of a cop out; you didn't even scratch the surface of what the series has to offer from that.

[@kopakatoaofcool8536]

5:20 probably because they didn't wanna show a dead faced human being (doomguy isn't faced)

[@RainBird88x]

Duke Nukem forever gets too much hate. Sure it has its faults, but overall it's an enjoyable game.

[@RainBird88x]

The hype had people believing it would be Half Life 3. It's Duke Nukem, it's supposed to be cheesy and dumb and filled bad one-liners.

[@Xegethra]

Yeah it was an alright game all told, it worked, it functioned, wasn't all that buggy, had a few laughs. It could have been a lot worse.

[@Nargaroth]

BEST EPISODE YET! LGR is the truth!! Awesome to see Clint get to do this episode!

LGR here? woa!

[@thefirestarter14]

Why did randy have to kill this game

[@dicapriodelorean2888]

at least he was right about not wanting $60 on a game to feel like crap

[@thefirestarter14]

DrIvanRadosivic i wish i could believe that but i really cant, the death of colonial marines, duke, and the atrocity that was borderlands 2 ruined gearbox for me

[@stigrabbid589]

+DrIvanRadosivic Battleborn was also not helped by the fact Overwatch came out around a similar time, and people flocked to that instead. Also, some people don't play online multiplayer only games, such as Overwatch or Battleborn, some prefer to play local Multiplayer/LAN or Single Player. I prefer to play Single Player or Local Multiplayer/LAN, which is becoming more of a hard to find thing in modern games. Online Modes are fine as long as i can play single player as well.

[@lugbzurg8987]
