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.

It's getting slammed hard in reviews. I might wait until this is a special on Steam now, lol.

It is really bad. But I can't stop playing, its so bad.

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...

d3 looks like it's gonna be great... i like that blizz never releases a game till they feel it's ready.

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?)
