Just means that the price will drop really quickly and I can play it.


LOL! *high five*



Maybe not all is bad, pc gamers are claiming to have fun with it. It's probably a case of a terrible port dragging an average game down to become completely unenjoyable.

"The visuals that jump out at you first. This is an ugly game, committing practically every graphical sin imaginable. Textures are crude and blurry when they bother to load in at all. Jagged edges turn every diagonal into ziggurat steps while the frame rate chugs up and down. Lumpen and stuttering, Forever does not look like a game that has benefited from millions of hours of development time.

[Please note that we reviewed the game on Xbox 360, but Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter informs us that the PC version plays much better. "It's a complete mess on 360 - sub-HD resolutions, hugely obtrusive screen-tear, terrible aliasing, low frame rate," he says. "All of these things can be remedied by playing the game on PC. It doesn't transform it into a good game, but it makes it much easier on the eye and certainly smoother, far more responsive and thus more enjoyable to play." Look out for Rich's full Duke Nukem Forever Face-Off very soon. -Ed.] "

The controls and thus the platforming, aiming etc should be better on a pc but that still doesn't excuse the 2 weapon limit, regen health, forced humor, and linear level design.

Might pick it up in a steam summer sale.





A score of 3/10 from Eurogamer, notorious for their harsh criticism and expect high standards in new video games. Current generation shooter games on the market is over saturated and this is a game that took over a decade to release. Duke Nukem Forever clearly belongs in the 20th century.

I bet that you were wanted as a joke writer for that game.

I was a joke writer for that game.  This explains the complete lack of humor.

Modesty modesty!



Then again that is a game relying on fan base... I doubt it won't sell really well for a 3/10 rated game.... I might even pick it up used if I ever come around all the other agmes I have and didn't finish yet for lack of time or patience
