After approximately fourteen years of development, the heavily infamous sequel to Duke Nukem 3D was finally released, in which the macho Duke must damper yet another alien invasion.

In paragraph 4, "weapons" is mispelled.
Beyond that, I'm surprised that it's playable. I wonder how much of the end game will remain in 3D Realms original vision.
" I cant't believe they're actually releasing it. But there's no way it'll live up to the expectations. "I get what you mean, but I would think that the expectations are pretty low considering how long it has been and how much of a joke it has become.

Don't you mean eye? I hope the color palette is more than what's been shown.
Great, they're finally making a modern game in a franchise of mediocre shooters whose selling points were toilet humor and mysogeny. This garbage is part of the reason the gaming industry still gets no respect.
Go play COD nub
That's the first time I've ever heard Duke Nukem be described as adult and mature. I was in high school when Duke Nukem 3D came out. I played it at my friends house and I know what it's about and who it appeals to. At the time it felt edgy enough to justify its vulgarity, but it was still a crappy game and the 'thrill' of shooting pig-cops and rescuing pixelated strippers wore pretty thin pretty fast. Now I'm older and more mature and I really can't stand the franchise, let alone understand why there's sill a lot of fanboyism for the IP among people who probably should've moved on a long time ago. I think the games media needs to look past thier nostalgia and call a spade a spade.
" The first horseman of the Apocalypse... "This game will be out a year before 2012. Coincidence? I think not.
" I'm buying this regardless of how it turns out, I've got to be able to say that I purchased Duke Nukem Forever in my lifetime. "This so freaking much ! Having the final DNF box in the hands wow ! I don't think i will be able to comprehend the feeling that this would ever happen.
If they can just focus on big explosions and solid action, I'm all for it. I don't think innovation is anyone's motivation to play a Duke Nukem game. Yay!
If Duke Nukem 3D was a tribute to the 80th action star... now is the perfect time to release the sequel. Movies like The expendables and Predators has proven that we who grew up in the 80ths have cash to spend and a void to fill.
I can see this game being a throw back to older shooters, like The Expendables was a throw back to 80's actions flicks.
" To everyone bitching that Duke is childish and past its prime:Except that Duke Nukem Forever (and, as seen, NARC) exactly is the kind of game that people think will make them mature. Nukem rides on appealing to 13-year-olds who wish they were mature, like the 14-year-olds, who wish they were like 15-year-olds, who wish they were like the 16-year-olds, trying to be so focused on "adult" instead of "good". Then, by the time psychological adulthood is finally reached, you don't care so much about looking "adult" anymore. You don't need to prove it through sex and violence....you simply are, and that frees you to enjoy whatever you'd like, no matter what created-by-children social stigmas are attached.
Lighten up, Francis. "
I'm guessing fertility rates will jump 3,500% when this game ships. Prepare yourselves, men, because once your woman gets a whiff of the Duke being balls deep in your console, there's no turning back.
Gearbox is either going to go bankrupt/burn down to the ground or the universe will implode upon DNF's release, like matter making contact with antimatter.
"And that was three years ago! [...] Even if what he saw then looked good, HOW COULD IT POSSIBLY LOOK GOOD NOW? [...] WHAT ARE YOU DOING? [...] DUDE, NO WE WON'T! (see DNF soon)"
