Duke Nukem Forever [04/03/2012 - 7:42 PM] - Necrophob

It's a game where the suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat. The writing is serious and poses thought provoking questions. Your decisions seem to have consequences and work to further the story. You love it so much, you wish it wouldn't end. That game is Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Ok, bad joke. In all seriousness, Duke Nukem isn't anything like Deus Ex. The only thing the games really share is that they are first person shooters, but other than that it's like comparing apples to aardvarks. I think this might be where alot of the bad blood from critics came from. They were expecting a modern shooter with all its trappings, and that's not what Duke's about.

In fact, when DNF tries to emulate some of the modern FPSs it falls flat on its face. In the few moments where the game resembles old Duke, there is some fun to be had.

Duke Nukem 3D was all about fast paced action, with tons of enemies unrelentingly assaulting you, lining up to be splattered by increasingly bigger and more awesome weapons.

It was mindless violence with little to no story. And we liked it. Now get off my lawn.

Anyways, let's explore DNF a bit, shall we? Hop on board the Duke express elevator to hell. We're going down, oooooh yah. If that sounds stupid, then DNF is probably not your game. Let's continue.
