It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all outta gum From its announcement in 1997 to its official release in 2011, this game underwent a 14-year development cycle. This is also why, when compared to much more polished 2011 releases like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3, Duke Nukem Forever feels like something made by cavemen. Now to the game itself, I’m genuinely happy that this title still carries on the series’ most iconic design where you get to use all kinds of ridiculous weapons to wipe out alien enemies across levels that are filled with over-the-top humor. While playing it, I started feeling more and more like it was a strange combination of Half-Life and Halo. However, the parts where it resembles Halo are actually not what I would praise. Instead, it’s the old-school feeling it gives off, and I think it mostly comes from its outdated weapon feedback, enemy design, and combat pacing . Because in games like Call of Duty and Battlefield from the same era, FPS games were already moving toward smoother movement, more precise gunplay, and much more cinematic combat experiences. Meanwhile, the combat in Duke Nukem Forever still follows the classic formula of giving you an arena, throwing a bunch of repetitive aliens inside it, and letting you deal with them, which relly gives the feeling of Halo, but the problem is that the tactical depth here is extremely limited compared to Halo. It also suffers from the same kind of terrible hit feedback that early Halo games had. A lot of the time, you simply cannot tell whether your bullets are actually hitting enemies and you only know you landed your shots when the enemy finally dies, explodes, or falls to the ground, and only then do you think: “Oh, so I was actually hitting them.” By the way, as a run-and-gun shooter, I recommend enabling the expanded inventory option in the settings so you can carry four weapons instead of two . It really improves the overall combat experience quite a lot. As for the parts where the game resembles Half-Life, that is actually one of the more interesting aspects. Similar to Half-Life 2, the game has almost no tutorials, yet provides excellent environmental guidance throughout the entire campaign . Also, the game has a decent physics engine and they did put it into good use, but unlike Half-Life, it never truly integrates physics interactions into the main progression. Most of the time, you are still moving forward through traditional shooting, but there are still some puzzle sections built around physics interactions, and I really enjoyed them. For example, the level where Duke gets shrunk down in a burger joint is probably my favorite part of the game. In fact, almost every section where Duke becomes tiny follows a similar design philosophy. These highly interactive little puzzles actually become some of the more memorable parts of the entire game. However, most of the other interactions are pretty boring, I don't know why but the developers seemed determined to make players press E on everything. The problem is that most of the time, you are just checking someone’s computer, spinning a chair, or looking into a mirror, and these actions usually lead to nothing meaningful. Well yes, sometimes they increase your Ego, which is your health bar, but I don’t think making health upgrades function like optional collectibles was a particularly smart design choice . There are also some interactions that are at least somewhat entertaining. During the game, Duke can play slot machines, air hockey, pinball machines, and all kinds of ridiculous mini interactions. He can take a piss, sign autographs, and even spend time slapping breasts on the walls inside alien caves. With these absurd interactions and Duke’s iconic voice acting, even though the main gameplay mechanics were not entirely successful, we still have to admit that the game successfully created a vivid, larger-than-life, and completely unapologetic Duke Nukem. Unfortunately, Duke Nukem Forever had to face the players of 2011. Its 14-year development cycle caused it to completely miss its own era. As I mentioned earlier, its shooting experience was simply too outdated. If it had actually released in 1997, it might have become one of the defining FPS games of the late 90s golden age. So its failure to achieve much success in 2011 was not surprising. But Duke probably does not care how the world judges him, how many points the game received from critics, or how much criticism it received. Because he has enough style, and that alone is enough. looking back today, I have to say that Duke Nukem Forever might not have been as terrible as we once thought. 7/10
It's pretty good if you want to play a stupid game. I mean that in the most loving way possible. My main gripe with this game is that Duke doesn't speak enough. I know, that's weird to say considering this game is full of his one-liners, but usually the only people that speak during cutscenes or NPC interactions are the NPCs. I played this game for Duke Nukem, so I expect to hear him tell the president to gargle his balls when he's getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at by him.
I avoided this game until now because of the negative reputation it had. I was a teenager when Duke 3d came out, and I instantly fell in love with it. I played it for years on my P133 system. I decided recently that I'd like to play this game at some point, and this week became that time. It isn't perfect, but it's also a lot of fun. I really enjoyed my time with it. It's just some dumb fun, and sometimes that is all I need out of my games. Lots of great dumb jokes and gags. I loved the shrunken sections. It isn't the best duke game, but Im glad I gave it a shot. Off to the DLC now.
