I can't believe they're doing DLC for this game...

At least they're committed to their game.

I haven't played it yet. I picked up the game for 5 dollars and it's sitting unopened. I'll get to it some day, I can say that I was a big fan of Duke Nukem and I am heavily aware of the problems this game has.

If it has new achievements I'll get it....already got the full 1000G on it.

Okay, what's with all the Duke Nukem apologists in the comments? Is it better than it could have been considering it's dev? Yes. Does that make it not terrible? No. It's still terrible.

Well rounded argument with solid points, well thought out and articulate. Bravo good sir.

If this is a pure gearbox effort I will keep a open mind and see if I can hear of any reviews. Who knows, maybe this is the Duke Nukem game I was looking for...

@bybeach: Could you possibly elaborate on what "the duke game you were waiting for" would look like.

For me, its one where Duke is horribly depressed and miserable because hes a horrible misanthrope with no internal filter and sociopathic tendencies. Then its a story of redemption and growth, where Duke comes to terms with his horrible nature and sacrifices himself.

An old man dies, a young girl lives.

(For the record, Duke will never be this and instead will be creepy tit jokes.)

Wait, isn't this exactly what Jeff described on a Bombcast once?

Naw. Actually I have 2 versions. One was the game was 'Better' because of gearbox being the dev. You know...Better.

The other I will mention because I have already thought Dukes character out well, months ago. Duke to me is a low class son of a bitch. Hes one step above white trash , lived the under-side all his life, and only occasionally did regular work. He likes to hang out in strip joints and bars and at best, work the grey corners of life. He is street smart.

But he's a good guy, and always tips the dancers. In fact he looks out for them when no proper people do despite their talk, say like straightening out a pimp if he doesn't treat his prostitutes right. And if a lady don't have a place for the night, he pays for the room. Doesn't even need to get laid over it, he'll still do it. In his world, on his level, he's a good guy....

That could of worked.

I understand this is free? No? hahahaha

I would rather play Serious Sam 3, which I am enjoying a lot more.

So a lot of DLC is content that got half-finished and then cut (because stuff gets cut from games). Just IMAGINE how much half-finished shit they have lying around for Duke Nukem Forever.

There's going to be DLC for this thing until 2013.

I enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever, I'll get this DLC. I didn't like Bastion, not one bit, but you don't see me complaining about the new DLC for that game. Live and let live.

You liked DNF and hated Bastion? what's it like to be so backwards?

I can answer you since I'm on the boat. I like FPP games and i don't like RPG's so... yeah. Duke was alright for me and Bastion got me bored.

I sold this game months ago I hated it.

DNF is my GOTY and I'm eager to play more.

Duke Nukem Forever made me feel like I'd been lead inside in a windowless white van. The nice man promised me puppies and candy but that's NOT WHAT I GOT AT ALL!

@RiotBananas: Granted I may be biased. I was active on the 3D Realms Forums in 2008-2009 and I'm still part of the Duke community elsewhere. I also know a few people in the credits. But I can still genuinely say I enjoyed DNF.

Ughhhhh. No thanks.

I don't care about anything Duke-related anymore.

Also, you mis-capitalized the title of the DLC in the last paragraph. Proofreading!

:P

Sure, I kinda feel bad anyways. It took so long to make, and I know it was the developer's fault, but I still feel for peoples' jobs.

GOTY

owait

Well that's a positive way to look at it. Cool I guess, although the game is kind of mediocre.

Waiter, I was told this was Creme de la Duke Nuke'em but this clearly isn't it.

@NarficAcid: It's wrong that you s-ranked it in the first place. Do you have no shame?

I'd be interested to know how many people actually buy this thing. I hope it's not too many.

The funny thing is that if the DLC is completely created by Gearbox from scratch, then I'd buy the game just to buy and play the DLC...

Video thing.....

NO

I'm going to be Captain Positivity, this may be OKish. Also if this completely Gearbox produced there's no reason to think it won't be at least passable.

i really enjoy Duke Nukem Forever and got all but 2 achievements (the two highest difficulty levels... havent played since skyrim :P ) and i am not convinced by what some people say about the game what so ever. so this is gonna be a definite purchase for me. more single player sign me in :D

So they copy the giant robot from Fallout 3? Also, I didn't want DNF to begin with, why would I ever want more?

If this is Gearbox produced, I am very interested in it.
 
Why? Because Gearbox acquired and finished DNF so they could have the Duke license, this might give some insight into what we can expect them to do with it in the future. Of course they're still restrained by the shitty world and mechanics of DNF, but it should at least be interesting to see what they can come up with.
 
Also, not for $10.

oh god no... i feel like myself along with my computer are smarter now that the game has been long uninstalled.

I did like the game as well, it's not that uncommon for people to have different opinions, you know?

You are correct that people can have different opinions. However, this game is horrible. So don't be surprised when the majority of opinions about DNF are not on your side.

I am absolutely aware of the general opinion about this game and I understand where people are coming from. I'm not saying the game is good, just that I liked it. Besides I just don't like the idea that liking the particular game makes you stupid or something of that sort.

A Doctor Who joke. Good one 2K

Give me much better designed maps (my main problem with the original game...so linear, boring, lazy levels design and graphics...) and SECRETS! Loads of 'em! And perhaps I'll be able to start to forgive this mess of a game..

first off, no rexicon im not PR i just like DNF. and if i was i am sure it would already be know that i was by now

any who, i think the game did so badly because A) people have call of duty in their asses (in my opinion anyways) B) because it was little too hyped and ended up disappointing by not living too said hype, C) yes there are tons of better games..... (just sayin though this isn't the worst FAR from it in fact, I think, its WAY better than Turning Point, BodyCount, Brink and legendary combined) D) DNF has been in developement since 1996, and just like Too Human has stayed mostly the same through out developement, thus giving it less and less of a chance against more modern games. So yeah the game had no chance in todays market, now if it was released in 2001 or 2002 I am sure it would hae been fine...especially if it was the way it was in the 2001 trailer (check it out and compair this version with that and you'll see what i mean). do i think DNF is the greatest game ever? no, but, i dont think its a terrible game like everyone (mostly reviewers btw) says it is. and the people who actually played it are most likely dissapointed, I admit I was, but i got over it 'cause, hey, it still plays like old school duke nukem (which is what i think most people didnt like about it) despite the slight modernization

as a side note (just sayin) I dont think this game should hurt Gearbox's rep I mean they didn't really have any dev time with this game at all thus it isnt really their game... now if they did develope DNF I am sure it would be WAY better (I mean seriously look at most their games)... but i guess we'll have to wait till they develope their Duke Nukem game to find out if i am right (again just sayin)

I apologize for so much writing but i felt i needed to say it

that said....yeah i look forward to "the doctor who cloned me" now back to finishing my achievements on DNF lol I only need to beat it on insane and thats it (wanna do it before thw dlc's release).... i would have done it by now but i played deus ex 3 twice and skyrim still :P

I enjoyed DNF and am looking forward to this DLC.

Thanks Gearbox!

Alright well, I won't be buying it, however I actually didn't mind the game all that much, it was kinda fun, it's not like it was amazing or anything. Seriously what were people expecting? Something like Halo? It's Duke Nukem, if it wasn't completely dumb, sexist, racist, lewd, and completely absurd, then it wouldn't be Duke. Add in the production nightmare it went through and you're looking at exactly what we got. I don't know what everyone else was expecting but my expectations were low and I was pleasantly surprised.

God I couldn't finish that game, was hard work!

I think that this DLC will have a better chance to be better than a game itself, simply because DNF was really Gearbox taking on the reins in the last moment and just putting what was already there, out to market (along with some Gearbox 'patchwork').

The DLC will very likely be all Gearbox, so I expect that to be a complete work, versus patched up stuff.

Scientific Breakthrough unlocked

I like this game.

The DLC is pretty phenomenal.. hmm.

is it ironic that Duke Nukem: Forever is DNF which usually means Did Not Finish?

Hmmm, so let's see my options here, I can spend ten dollars for a nice, 6-8 hour dose of Duke, or I can spend 123,444,644,241 dollars on stupid fucking COD map packs that half of which suck so bad that I'll probably only use once. Duke, no contest.
