25,000 are being made...seems like the kind of thing that'll sit on gamestop's shelves for a little while and get a pricedrop. There's a lot of internet hype for the game, but it could end up being another "Snakes on a Plane" where the internet hype doesn't translate to earth shattering sales.

I suspect the hype is based more on DNF as a curiosity and not necessarily an eagerness to purchase it. I, for one, am definitely not touching this until I get some reliable impressions on how it's turned out. Not for full price, anyway.

I'm eager to purchase it. It's Duke Nukem Forever. I don't care if it's the worst game this year, the fact that this is even coming out after FOURTEEN years of development is simply mind-blowing. Sure I'll be disappointed if it turns out shitty, but I'll be proud of Gearbox for finally getting this thing out. I'll just have to remember to set my brain to "8 years old in the 90s" when I boot this up.

I owe it to my 14 year old self to purchase this game on day one.

should've had a stripper hula doll, and some fake duke dollars you could hold up to it and say "You wanna dance? Shake it, baby."

Day One.

Most people saying they wouldn't spend that coin on the greatest game to ever come out spend twice that much each week on Tentacle Rape bootleg DVDs.

Right on bro. Can't wait to put my Duke statue next to my Halo cat helmet and MW2 night vision goggles.

Walk in and say you're here to pick up a preorder. When they ask what you preordered, you tell them...

So many missed opportunities with the SE. I guess there might be dev insights and commentary (like the commentary for HL2 in Orange Box

.... yeah right) packaged with the standard game. Definitely not getting the SE that's for sure.

TBH I'm kinda tempted, but the extra $40 for the SE would be better spent on another game or some M$ points, or beer.

The stripper shaking her ass in the background, and a fat hillbilly asking Duke: "You think those sunglasses make you look cool or something?"

Not that I care about this particular game at all or whether there is quality difference between the 360 & the PS3 but they didn't mention any difference between the 360 and PS3 version of the game in the latest bombcast. They talked about a difference between the 360 and PC version of the game and said the 360 version was inferior to the PC version performance and graphics wise which theoretically you could say about any game ever made. Do you just sit around all day and make up shit to spin out of your ass?

Don't really give a shit. For all I know the PS 3 version could be the best version in the world (of what is probably going to be a really average game). You still suck as a troll because you can't even troll with any sort of shit to back up the shit you constantly toss out there. Maxy shames you.

I don't see why xbox 360 fans get so defensive when someone says a game is better on another platform. Had I come in here and said 360 version is best would you not be bowing to the lords at gearbox?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #271 on:** February 17, 2011, 11:22:55 PM »

I wouldnt give a fuck!

Of course the game will be better on PC, more powerful hardware, better graphical performance, duh. 360 and PS3 versions will be more or less identical, as with Gearbox's other multi-plat titles.

I will be getting the 360 version as thats the console I prefer to game on. So what.

chronovore · « **Reply #272 on:** February 18, 2011, 07:19:32 AM »

Why are you guys even responding to Methodis? I've got him on ignore, and it's only when reasonable posters respond to his crap that I ever see it. Please. Save me from this consistently unrewarding curiosity. Save me from the utterly incompetent, incoherent, irrational nonsense.

Quote

Duke Nukem Forever’s “Capture the Babe” CTF variant requires you to abduct a woman to score. The mode is revealed in the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine US where they explain that Gearbox will give the option to give her a “slap” if she “freaks out” as you drag her across the map.

WTF? Read on for the details and to hear Gearbox’s CEO’s attitude towards Duke’s controversy-bating elements.

Speaking to the magazine, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said: “Our goal isn’t to shock people, but I think there’s some stuff that’s a bit uncomfortable. I mean, the alien’s plan is to capture our women and impregnate them to breed an alien army, so you can imagine some horrible shit happens.”

OXM reports that Capture the Babe is “Pretty much what you’d expect to see from a CFT-style mode, with one small touch: the “Babe” will sometimes freak out while you’re carrying her (somewhat understandable we’d say) at which point you have to hit a button to gently give her a reassuring slap.”

yeah why can't people just lighten up? hmm maybe it's because at least a 1/3 of all women experience violence from a man (usually a partner or aquaintance), and so seeing it constantly trivialized and played up as a joke by dudes who don't give a shit cuz they're just "havin a good time!" is fucking offensive

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #289 on:** March 24, 2011, 07:22:28 PM »

I don't really feel comfortable telling people how they should overly feel about certain things because we all have our individual line of what is acceptable and what isn't. Especially in imaginery video game land.

If somebody is upset about the Duke thing I understand. If somebody was upset about the MW 2 thing I understand. Neither bothered me. But that's because I view them in a certain context. The same way I viewed a game like Manhunt or any of the thousands of morally reprehensible things that people do in videogames and never bat an eye.
