Duke Nukem Forever is here. Can't wait to try it. If I only had a computer to play it well. I'm still running an Opteron dual-core with a Radeon 4850.

Upgrade time is coming soon though. Once Bulldozer and Ivy Bridge hit the market, decisions will be made.

A lot of the reviews are saying it's dated and not that great. As for "dated", well no shit, the games been in a 10+ year time lock. One review said that Bulletstorm was what Duke should have been... that one definitely worried me (I bought that game and didn't like it). I will probably still buy it anyway.

It's hard to believe this is actually happening. I'm almost wondering if the apocalypse is near.

I'm not sure I actually paid for Duke3D back in the day, when ya could 'rent' PC Games. I might just 'borrow' DNF this time round too. I do want to play it, even if it is deemed a mediocre, out of pure curiosity.

It's awesome! Hillarious, I didn't feel the graphics were dated at all with everything set to max. The gameplay and controls are simple however. Level by level loading with a very linear track through the story but who cares.

They added a LOT of internet related jokes and even more jokes that would appeal to people who remember the first game. I would tell people to play through the single player just for the humor.

Honestly though, there is NO way this game could have lived up to the anticipation surrounding it.

Speaking of which, I wonder if Diablo 3 is ever coming out... and if it will be any good...

I generally agree, but the fact that they announced the game like 3 years ago, and then seriously delayed the release date right around the time Torchlight and a few similar games came out (making me wonder if they felt they needed to up the ante to compete?)
