Two of those levels are mentioned here and it was leaked that there's a 15 map singleplayer DLC coming out that will probably include those cut levels.

Heres an interesting comparison.

I have to say I'm enjoying this. Only thing I'm not liking are some of the one liners (mainly 'I'll ninja that' or something like that).
Loving the interactivity. Almost got 1million on the pinball but stopped at 800,000. Didn't know there was a steamchievement for 1 mill >.< Would have kept going.

Agreed that some of the one-liners were pretty bad, but I laughed at the 'I've got balls of fail' line when I fucked up at the pinball game

QTEs? The only QTEs I have noticed are the boss finishers and the 'mash spacebar to open doors' thing

So 5 hours of gameplay and 1 hour of loading times?
Hope you guys enjoy the game as im sure its gonna be a good ride either way, im going to pick up child of eden instead. When theres a price drop and single player DLC ill grab it. I waited 12 years, a couple more months wont hurt
Gvaz said:
My steam says that I spent 6 hours in the game but that can't be true. I'd say that it's more like 10 hours.
And maybe the best reference in the game: you're running up a winding staircase and suddenly barrels start rolling down.
"Damn where's a hammer when you need one" and at the top "Hmm, I expected a monkey"
I'm buying the PC version, but I found a nice feature for anyone buying the PS3 version. If you drop the system to 480p you get a massive performance boost. The image quality isn't great by default so going to 480p doesn't really look all that much worse. The end result is a framerate more line with some of the recent Call of Duty titles. It's 60 fps with slowdown. Definitely not a stable 60, but it holds it more than you'd expect and the drops aren't too severe. It's still not the best way to play, but it makes for a decent experience.

The console versions seem utter shit from what I've read. Low FPS, Stupid long load times, stuck with the shitty filters and post processing shit.~Kinggi~ said:
I've got very fast load times on PC. Like, really quick. And great FPS, all max minus the Post-processing effects that make it seem like the world is covered in shit.

So the PS3 version has no screen tearing and is otherwise identical to the 360 version? I had the 360 version preordered from Amazon, but a lack of screen tearing would be significant enough to warrant an exchange.
And yeah yeah, master race.

I think the PS3 version also has some sort of AA that the 360 version lacks

I hope when the Game of the Year or whatever bullshit edition comes out, Randy Pitchford finds the bitchiest lines from the worst reviews and puts them right on the box, like my DVD copy of Fight Club.

I just got my First Access demo today and playing it right now. 10/10.
Man, i may actually sounds super weird here for some, but this game is actually exceeding the expectations i had. Granted, considering the years and all, they werent very high to begin with, but im really, really loving the game. Im almost at the end and it has been some of the most fun i had this year. Thats just what it is: FUN. Besides the shooting feeling good and all, the puzzles are nice, the vehicle sections were fun since they lasted exactly what they needed to last, the humor is gold, and ive found a variety of gameplay that certainly took me by surprise. The game mixes it up a bit and it feels right. There's platforming, puzzles, the mini duke sections are awesome.
I dunno, i really really like it. Sucks for those who arent finding it as good as i am.
edit: playing on the hardest difficulty btw, maybe it has something to do with it?

I don't think you're weird, I think the reviewers are weird for either expecting too much or taking it too seriously.SalsaShark said:
People who expect to love it will find lots to love, people who expect to hate it will find lots to hate.
I played a good chunk of it so far and while it starts off pretty slow, once you get into the meat of the game it's amazing. Duke Burger is such a fantastic level and it just gets better from there.

I'm expecting nothing but things I will really enjoy in this game. I have read enough to know what to expect and it sounds pretty fun. Payed $25 for the PC copy also so I don't feel like I'm losing out either. Reviews in general are so worthless these days. It is hilarious to me that some people still don't understand why people love Duke Nukem. Can't wait to play this game.

I thought the demo felt pretty crappy, but I'm enjoying the hell out of the final version.
Welcome back, Duke.

I just read that review. I don't think the score fits the text. His biggest problem (apart from maybe the performance issues of the 360 version) seem to be the Duke character himself and how he's an out dated character.Dr Eggman said:

Yeah.. I noticed that too.
If you don't mind or like the Duke character, the review reads like a 7.
I actually enjoyed the vehicle and platforming sequences he complained about... though I was playing on the PC.. not the 360.

I love it when people review pop-corn movies as introspective dramas.
Shows who has no idea what they are talking about.
Same with games industry.

WTF at the suggestion that Duke is an outdated character in gaming. I just wish there were more action hero style characters like him. I miss the days of Duke3D, Blood and Shadow Warrior with over the top personas, ridiculous weapons, crazy levels and enemies.
Playing Duke Nukem Forever has reminded me of the days when video game characters didn't have to take themselves seriously.

It seems like most people are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the game rather than the game itself. They can't properly articulate what they really feel is wrong with it so they parrot the "irrelevant and outdated" angle. The game would be a solid 7 is my book. I love the game, but the technical aspects bring it down a bit (no quicksaves, load screens when you die, inconsistent performance, etc)Zomba13 said:
Seriously, the demo level (the mines) was literally the worst level in the entire game. Pretty amazing that they chose it.
Fun characters are a relic of the 90s.saunderez said:

Yeah. The mines part was the worst. I understand them putting the game part in the demo. That was a good idea, but the mines/driving part should have been replaced with something else. Maybe something from Duke Burger or if they needed to show off a vehicle section then a part with the RC car? It controls much better than the Mighty Foot.luka said:

If you're going to go after Duke for being this or that, go after Modern Warfare 2 it or Gears 2 being one of the most offensive "stories" in the history of storytelling.
