Official Duke Nukem Forever Feedback Thread - Page 7

Found the demo torrent and now downloading, 4 hours left.

1.7GB for a short demo?

This game makes Daikatana look like a masterpiece. I knew the game was going to be a dud, and that only rabid fanboys of Duke would keep it from being one of the worst failures in gaming, but this is sad.

I don't know how anyone could enjoy this game, and if waited a decade and a half for it to be released, I'd be pissed off.

DAMMIT!

After download completed I clicked on DukeForeverdemo.exe and it required Steam but I am in the UK, it wont started as it only worked on US steam.

Not sure what you mean, but I activated it on Steam and played it fine here in Sweden.
Or did you download it "externally"?
Had a early access code from picking up Borderlands during the Xmas sale.

I think I'll pass on this after reading the feedback here. Bandwidth is precious.

It wasn't terrible, but I definitely don't like it enough to want to buy it till it's at most $15. I liked the original duke when it was released, but for some reason this one just feels off. Maybe my expectations were too high given the time it was in development.

**HiCZoK4** · 06-03-11, 01:55 PM

I must be crazy. Ive finished it like 5 times already. I love the atmosphere and detail.

I was thinking that something is broken with horizontal scanlines on first level (ala old arcade games) but then they showed that its a game inside a game which Duke is playing

So then when I play as "real" duke there are no more scanlines.

btw... on technical side. I am getting allright fps, but a litttle bit of fps deeps and stutters here and there. Adding 2x1gb of same ram I have would help? Or am I bottlenecked by 512mb on my 8800?

I have plan to setup entirely new pc after summer, but 2x1gb of geil ultra ram is quite cheap and it might not be a stupid idea to boost this setup until then... but even a small waste of money is well.. waste of money

Anyone else is Duke fan who is happy and cant wait till 10th/14th ?

Yes I downloaded it externally and dont have early access code but anyway I managed to get it loaded and played the demo and it was FUN.

The graphics was quite good but some seem unfinished based on modified Unreal 2.5 engine, if Gearbox took over 3DRealms project 5 years ago then the graphics will be on par with DOOM3.

I laughed at some comments on many forums about DNF, stated the graphics sucked but I found the game FUN and interacted and one said the graphics is no where at same level as Witcher 2 graphics.

Just finished the demo.I thought it was pretty well done,the cycloid was fun to kill.Judging from the level of interactivity in the demo the full game should be a hoot as well.One thing about the demo though,was a lack of enemies.I'll play through again on hardest skill and see if there are more baddies.The truck is a fun addition as well.Finally DUKE IS BACK
