The long delayed sequel to Duke nukem 3D. It was lost in development for over 12 years but when it finally came out it essentially killed the Duke Nukem franchise.
It seems very unlikely that anyone other then
hardcore Duke Nukem fans
will take much pleasure in this mess of a
game and even then only for the nostalgia value of it.
It almost feels like Gearbox, the
game company that obtained the rights and "finished" the
game, went back threw out all 12 years of previous work and slapped together a 2-bit
halo knockoff to rip off the old fanbase and ruin Duke for the new fanbase.
Featuring filler content, platforming puzzles, and crappy
game mechanics this is truly a complete mess. It also crossed the very big line between dirty humor and stupid humor more times then I can count. Between the rape jokes and the shit throw (i kid you not it's really in there) it's just not worth the
time to play, not to mention the load times are awful even on a high end gaming
PC.
They somehow managed to make it to sexist even for Duke, even for DUKE. I didn't even know that was possible.
Another Duke Nukem game has been announced by gearbox, hopefully it
will be a masterpiece that saves the franchise but after this god awful performance it's doubtful
Duke and
gamer on Duke nukem forever
Duke: Well after 12 fuckin years it better be good.
Gamer: It sucked
Duke: What the fuck did they do wrong?
Gamer: lean over here
*whispers*
Duke: ... fuck the aliens Gearbox unless you do it right this time I'm comin' for you
