Uh..Duke Nukem Forever?

No problem if you feel that way, but a 9/10? Meh... CoD is overhyped itself. People can like the game or not. I say it is solid, needs improvements (which can be fixed with mods). I am going to try the multiplayer now.

The score is the score but if you think Duke Nukem Forever is better than Black Ops, your crazy.

Never said that. But it isn't a *9* to Duke's *3*. Actually from what I read many people didn't care for Black Ops and liked Duke.

At the end of the day, reviews can only be taken with a grain of salt, and the scores as well. People like different things and games. I read them for entertainment value myself. Average the scores out of you will, or play a friend's copy. Many of the games getting high scores these days aren't all that.

My verdict: A solid, somewhat better than average game, needs some fixes, which can be modded.

You think there will be a modding scene for this game?

Yea, for the weapon thing ( I think they're working on that) and the jetpack.

Many olllld games have modding scenes. I imagine there will be one. It did sell well regardless.

Yeah, many do but doesn't necessarily mean DNF will.

I doubt the game will have a big modding scene. Maybe a very small one.

And how do you know DNF did well?

According to Steam stats, today, Duke Nukem Forever was only 23rd at this time but less overall compared to some other games. Doesn't necessarily mean much but it's not great.

Well so far sales are good. It's about what I expected. People didn't find it lived to their expectations but it sold.

It might not, but I'm sure people will make a gun mod at the very least. Hell even Streets of Rage has one (I'm an old school gamer so I look those up).

That's the way it is. Game rating is full of politics, and other companies pay for those scores to help sales. Games like Black Ops get a 9 and Duke gets a 2 or 3? Please.

And the problem with Call Of Duty is its the same thing over and over the way you play them, Only thing thats actually different is the story that they think up for the games.

Yep and people eat up these generic games. Slap the lable on any game and it will be bought.

What does Gamefaqs have to do with how well the game sold?

It's funny how you call Call of Duty generic yet Duke Nukem Forever is one of the most generic games out there. How is it any different than game of today. It has regen health, two weapon limits, Valve physic puzzles and the gameplay is from 2000?

That's sounds generic to me. Just as much as Call of Duty.

Yeah because most FPS have to be up to Valve or Crytek's standards these days.....

What?

You heard me.

I'm talking about the popularity of the game.

A lot of shooters are generic, and yes Duke did go into their mold somewhat which I don't care for. But not completely, it had the humor and character of Duke.

Duke 3d had the puzzles and stuff though and the game was supposed to have an oldschool feel.

CoD games aren't terrible, just overrated and it's what people play so they don't know any better.

Umm, what's your point?

Are you basically saying the game is shit?

C, what does popularity have to do with game sales?

Duke Nukem Forever will be popular on sites like that not because people like the game but because it's one of the most well known games out there. Why? Because the game has a huge long history.

I'm not saying this latest Duke game is shit at all

its not the greatest game ever made, But its just a good game thats it i too give a 7/10

but with the older trailers for this game you can see 3D realms was trying to go for "One of greatest game ever made" but yeah something went wrong somewhere when Gearbox took over.

But that's not what I was saying.

I understand not all games can be Half Life 2/Portal 2 or whatever but when somebody says, "at least DNF is not as generic as CoD", I pointed out that is just as generic as CoD.

And DNF is not a good game.

You haven't played the whole game lol.

It isn't as generic, it has some of those traits, but it isn't full fledged on generic like CoD.

Duke definitely didn't live up to Duke3d standards. It didn't live up to its own impossible standards, and even if it were the best ever it would still be criticized.

And we were talking about the modding scene, popular means more mods.

I hate that. Everybody assumes that people criticize DNF because "it can't live to the standards based on development time". That's why people are not criticizing it. They're criticizing because the game is not good. Not because of expectations because what they played, isn't good. From what I've played, read and seen in videos, the game does not look good, plays like crap and generally is poor.

What makes the game not generic?

I never said the game had low sales. I don't know because they haven't released sales figures yet, or shipped units. You said the game sales are good, and it sold out (where? no evidence). And then you said the game is quite popular. Well, yes, the game is popular but popularity doesn't mean a mod scene will develop, or it has good sales. It just means people have looked up the game. From I've seen and read, the popularity on the game is based on how crappy it is and that the game has been released. The only evidence I have seen has been Steam stats, where the game is roughly i25-30 most played game today. That's average for a game that has just been released. It doesn't mean much but I don't think the game is burning up sales chart but maybe I'm wrong.

Also, modding isn't really as big as it used to be back in the day, you might see a couple of mods but I highly doubt it.

EDIT: Just a quick look and sales overseas (Europe) Duke Nukem Forever was number 1 on the charts but after 3 weeks has seen a 60% decline in sales.
