in the past


I don't even want to talk about this one.

The game is not as bad as people say, it was really some kind of Hivemind situation where people just see what IGN and some other critics say. This is not one of the worse games of all time, not even close. There's so much interactivity and small details that are hilarious, and while the level design isn't always great, there are some really good maps that are just plain fun. This isn't Duke Nukem 3D, but it has some very high highs, and some meh lows. Also the multiplayer, especially the rewards for progression is fantastic.

ENG: I'm not going to elaborate too much because it's not a game that deserves it. Its standardization of gameplay mechanics more similar to those of a generic Call of Duty were justly vilified at the time as much as its rancid humor. On that I agree. What I disagree on, which was said at the time, is the belief that this was REALLY the saga, a thing of the past that as of today is outdated. But no, Duke Nukem is not at all what is shown in Forever. Playably it was innovative, powerful, ingenious, and Duke Nukem as a character was a genuinely funny stereotype of 80s Hollywood action movies. Forever never seems to understand either the mechanics or the Duke character as such. If you played this horrifying piece of garbage, and were left with only this, I recommend you give the original a look. Because this is not Duke Nukem, never was and never will be.

ESP: No me voy a explayar mucho porque no es un juego que lo merezca. Su estandarización de mecánicas jugables más similares a las de un Call of Duty genérico fueron justamente vilipendiadas en su momento tanto como su humor rancio. En eso estoy de acuerdo. En lo que no estoy de acuerdo, que en su momento se dijo, es la creencia de que esto era REALMENTE la saga, una cosa del pasado que a día de hoy está desfasada. Pero no, Duke Nukem para nada es lo que se muestra en Forever. Jugablemente era innovador, potente, ingenioso, y Duke Nukem como personaje era un estereotipo genuinamente gracioso de las películas de acción hollywoodenses de los 80s. Forever nunca parece entender ni a las mecánicas, ni al personaje de Duke como tal. Si jugaste a este bodrio horripilante, y te quedaste solo con esto, te recomiendo que le des un vistazo al original. Porque esto no es Duke Nukem, nunca lo fue ni lo será.

13 лет разработки, множество перезапусков с нуля. И всё из-за одного пидора-гейм-дизайнера, стремящегося внедрить как можно больше нового в свою игру из свежевыходящих проектов, растратив весь бюджет. Полученный продукт от Gearbox ужасен, но я прошёл его из-за любви к Дюку. Графика, анимации и разнообразие на низшем уровне. Сюжет вообще ни о чём. Правда, здесь он и не нужен. Если бы сделали отличный ремейк этой части, был бы рад.

I had no expectations going into it (since I wasn't looking forward to it's release and I played it wayyy later) and I had quite a bit of fun with it.

Bosses being reused a lot, humor being hit and miss and the gameplay not being as good as Duke3D made it less fun, but not enough for it to be a 1,7/5 game (avg rating here). I also like all types of shooters so it not being a boomer shooter anymore didn't bother me.

this game is the equivalent of malaria
