    Cause it would have been dated if they released it 12 years ago!

    Seriously though, I only played it for about an hour and was disgusted, will take their survey now, it will be more fun than the game.

    took survey.


    in all fairnes, the questions asked were spot on.

    all that was an issue in game was mentioned in survey.


    in my opinion they just needed to make good old duke. same design, health packs, non linier levels, door cards ( i loved it) etc.

    they tryed to mix up new generation stuff with good old FPS stuff.

    This applies to every game though. Even ones with dinosaurs in it.

    More so with Duke though, because Dinosaurs actually exsisted when it first went into production :pac:

    I still maintain that Duke Forever was a thoroughly enjoyable brainless adventure that occupied 7 or 8 hours beautifully. Maybe it's a nostalgia buzz from Duke3D all those years ago, but I really liked it. Would never consider or call it a classic, but I've spent money on far, far worse games.

    I actually thought it started out funny but it just descended into a very run-of-the-mill shooter and was a pale, pale ghost of Duke.

    Too many cheap deaths vs. long loading times made it a chore rather than fun and it just ended out of nowhere, too.

    Left a sour taste in my mouth when I was done and I really wanted the game to work but I couldn't let the idea of Duke Nukem cover the fact that it was a very average game that clearly ran out of ideas half-way through.

    This. It's just totally unacceptable these days to have loading that long. I'd expect it from the likes of Dead Island, or other huge world games, but even the small bit of loading in Dead Island is nothing compared to the stupid loading in DNF.

    That, and it looked pretty crap by todays standards, didn't have enough funny moments, and just didn't feel Duke enough.
