Spectre_15 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 In case anyone hasn't seen it yet, Duke Nukem is back on Steam. Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition is only $6 (US), or $2 until the sale ends sometime today. Megaton edition comes with online multiplayer, as well as Duke Nukem 3D, an updated version (Im guessing just better controls) and a classic version, Duke it out in DC, Duke: Nuclear Winter, Duke Carribean: Life's a Beach, as well as a level editor which allows a lot on Steam Workshop. Any Duke fans, I highly recommend picking this up. Well worth the price, especially after some of the custom maps. I just played a map, Duke's Dream, and I'd pay a good $5 or so for this level alone, as a stand alone DLC. This game, especially with the community is well worth the buy. Now, that said... Has anyone bought it?
gaggedgirl123 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 If I wasn't so broke I'd buy it right now without hesitation. I love me some Duke Nukem!
jxm Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Already bought it during another sale last year for minimun-bucks, plus Shadow Warrior Redux, though didn't had time to play through these fully but its cool, "they don't make games like this anymore today"....

I couldnt find it last year, or even around Christmas o_____O I specially looked for Duke Nukem too.
Chbaakal Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Always one of my favorites way back when. I really wish the developers would have revamped the series to higher quality, instead of creating the monstrosity called Duke Nukem Forever.
Spectre_15 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 I feel like Forever got a bad rep for the wrong reasons. I think that, had it been a stand-alone title, and not a Duke Nukem that was 11 years or so in the making, it would have gotten much better reception.
jxm Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I feel like Forever got a bad rep for the wrong reasons. I think that, had it been a stand-alone title, and not a Duke Nukem that was 11 years or so in the making, it would have gotten much better reception. I haven't played Duke Forever, so my opinion is kinda flawed, but I watched and read a lot of material after it came out. None of it made me yearn to buy it (not even the steam sale for 6,00 € recently). The thing for me the game would have been a hit...well...11 years ago. You cannot develop a game for odd ten years, constantly change the engine and whatnot, and the nin a last pitch effort give it a paint job and through it out on the market. Though of course how any game could have lived up to that legendary hype...? I think games (or stand alone addons) like Far Cry Bloodragon made a better job of being a hilarious over the top shooter with great one liners. Rex Power Colt is the better "New Duke", even without too much sexual innuendo... Also, I think Shadow Warrior 2013 was a rather cool reboot. Considering it isn't made by a Triple A -Studio they did a great job. Just wonderful hack and slay with the katana, blood and limbs everywhere. Maybe "old" Lo Wang was dirtier and cooler (debatable, he got repetitive), but the "new" one really doesn't need to be ashamed to carry the name of Shadow Warrior (and I am not ashamed to say that in the end I was ... a bit close to tears when the credits rolled...seriously!) Really, I want a sequel to this...to send Zilla my regards...YOUUUU GOOOOOOT THE PPPAAAAAAUUUUUUAAAAA! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwjB2Re_Sso
Duoleb The Chosen Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 shadow warrior remake brings back the idea of a Greek Tragedy Story
Angrybird Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Like Sonic I don't understand why people care about Duke Nukem.
Duoleb The Chosen Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 well probably you didn't lived or had a proper 90's childhood were the Multiplayer rooms in Kali, Dwango or QW were complete fucking warzones with Jedi's reflexes, where you had to wait until midnight to use the ol 28 or 56kbps Internet without problem Duke's multiplayer were a complete chaos with good custom maps and DM servers also there it was the chat rooms, which is now extinct in FPS games
gregathit Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 It is nostalgia as much as anything that us "old" folks like the duke. I personally bought the game and while it wasn't exactly up to what I had hoped, it wasn't half bad either. If you are not a fan of the duke, then I would say don't bother as it leans heavily on the past.
Spectre_15 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Like Sonic I don't understand why people care about Duke Nukem. Duke comes from a time when FPS games werent pumped out every year, and actually were fun to play. The character had personality. The weapons were fun. I dont see a shrink ray, a freezethrower, an expander, a Plasma Cannon, etc in todays FPS games.
Angrybird Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 There were and are other games with guns on fire that shoot cthulhus, and apparently I didn't have a proper 90's childhood. These are old games so it's ok but if new Duke ever comes out you guys will hear my rants.
jxm Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Like Sonic I don't understand why people care about Duke Nukem. WEll, true enough for Sonic, because Sonic simply was an arrogant prick and the games a chaotic mess, the Duke however... AAhhh... much better! (after urinating) Bitchin'! Blow it out your ass! (referencing They Live) Boooorn tooo beee wiiiiiiild... [singing (badly) in a karaoke] Come get some! [reference to Ash's quote from Army of Darkness] (says after choosing the hard difficult setting) Come on! (after the player was not moving for a while) Damn.... Damn! Damn it. (after killing any of the women in the game) Damn, I'm good! (says after choosing the "Nightmare" difficult setting) Damn... I'm looking good! [after looking at himself in a mirror] Damn, those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride.

(after defeating the Battlelords, in reference to Jaws) Get back to work, you slacker! (checking out office computer playing Duke3d) Go ahead, make my day. (reference to the same phrase from Clint Eastwood's character Dirty Harry in the film Sudden Impact) Gonna rip 'em a new one. Guess again, freakshow. I'm coming back to town, and the last thing that's gonna go through your mind before you die... is my size-13 boot! Groovy! [reference to Ash's quote from Evil Dead 2:Dead by Dawn] Hail to the king, baby! [reference to Ash's quote from Army of Darkness] Heh, heh, heh... what a mess! [After an enemy dies violently (exploding)] Hey, She-bitch...let's rock! [Ash quote from Army of Darkness] HHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! [Falling to his death] Hmm, don't have time to play with myself. [Duke examines the Duke Nukem II arcade machine] Hmm, that's one "Doomed" Space Marine. [seeing a torn corpse of a Space Marine from Doom] Holy cow! Holy shit! I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck.

It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all outta gum. (reference to They Live) It's down to you and me, you one-eyed freak! (when encountering the Emperor) It's time to abort your whole freaking species! (After defeating the Queen) Let God sort 'em out! (Advice given by Arnaud Amalric during the Albigensian Crusade when asked by a Crusader how to distinguish the Cathars from the Catholics) Let's rock!

(after discovering Indiana Jones corpse hanging) What are you waitin' for? Christmas? (after the player has been away from keyboard for a while) (reference to Die Hard) What are you? Some bottom-feeding, scum-sucking algae eater? Where is it? Who wants some? (reference to Ash's quote from Evil Dead 2) Wohoo! Yeah, piece of cake! Yippie ka-yay, motherfucker! (Bleeped out) [reference to Bruce Willis, from the Die Hard Films) You guys suck! You're an inspiration for birth control. Your face, your ass - what's the difference? (reference to an Andrew Dice Clay joke) You wanna dance? (after handing a girl money) Instead of the above today we got pseudo-self-important oh so dark and gritty "realistic" military cover-shooters that are promoted with Eminem-Music-Videos and feature enemies like arabian/eastern european/south-american/chinese terrorist-invaders ... yeah, so cool...I say bring back hordes of aliens and mutants and nutty professors, damn it! (Looking at you, boring Far Cry 3...kidnapping-smuggling pirates, seriously? Where is a mad mutant-breeding professor on a tropical island when you need one!!!!)

There was a new Duke recently, but after a 12 year development hell, it was a total letdown. However, if a proper Duke comes in todays age of shitty cookie-cutter FPS games, it will destroy the competition for the personality and the fact that it's fucking different. It doesn't hold up anymore I doubt you can remake his personality or it would stop being Duke, it's nostalgia, nothing else, cherish your memories and let die otherwise more shitty sequels will happen.

It doesn't hold up anymore I doubt you can remake his personality or it would stop being Duke, it's nostalgia, nothing else, cherish your memories and let die otherwise more shitty sequels will happen. Theres more than just the personality of Duke himself. The entire game has personality. One of my favorite things to do is to walk around with the freezethrower, freezing everything and kicking the shit out of it, or flying around with a jetpack in a Duke Match, shrinking everyone and landing on them to turn them into a pile of blood.
Spectre_15 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 In other news, now Duke REALLY is back! Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction was leaked yesterday, and its believed the official announcement will be in a few weeks.
jxm Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Those were funny in the 90s you're running on nostalgia, you're the same as Sonic fans. Get as old as me, and you'll know the feeling...see ya then, youngling! As of now, you know nothing, Jon Snow!
Angrybird Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I never felt any love for first person shooters so maybe that's what it is but I remember hearing people talking about how you could piss in toilets and thinking it was dumb at the time, double that now, People are talking fondly about Halo already, in a few years it will be: "Hey man remember Halo? That was the shit you could drive around and stick nades on people, sick!" Nostalgia is hilarious.
Spectre_15 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 The pissing in the toilet was an example of the fact that Duke Nukem has a lot more personality than any other FPS game.
ChancellorKremlin Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 How can someone *not* like the original Duke Nukems? I bet you weren't impressed when Doom came out either.
Spectre_15 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 How can someone *not* like the original Duke Nukems? This kind of bothers me. While I've been defending the game, Angrybird is entitled to their opinion and their own tastes in games. To support their own dislike, Angrybird did also say that they're not really a fan of FPS games.
ChancellorKremlin Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Yeah, it was a light-hearted comment. I'm not exactly going to persecute him till he converts to my point of view...
