When is the embargo up?

 

[Raptor]

For those playing, when you do some headshots heads explodes in chunks and blood, but you can do them with all the weapons? fors instance you can explode teh brains out of a nazi with a pistol?

 

[GavinUK86]

Yes, yes, I remember. I called Duke Nukem Forever a "heinous travesty" on the first page of that thread.

and rightly so. it was.

 

[antitrop]

When is the embargo up?

7 hours and 20 minutes.

 

[Dawg]

When is the embargo up?

about 7:20 hours left (6am CET)

edit: I saw that ninja edit, antitrop

I SAW IT!

 

[Animator]

any word if we can unlock early with vpn and such?

 

[Sullichin]

Saw some people talking about the PS4 version while browsing the thread, does anyone have impressions on the PC version? Or no one here has it early?

 

[SkylineRKR]

11 hours? No way. It took me about 5 to reach the 6th Chapter. Out of what is it, 15?

For those playing, when you do some headshots heads explodes in chunks and blood, but you can do them with all the weapons? fors instance you can explode teh brains out of a nazi with a pistol?

I don't think so. The heavier weapons deliver more gore.

Is this VPN unlockable anywhere yet?

 

[Kertiously]

So glad gamefly sent me a copy, I can't wait for it to come in. Been hearing great things about this game so far, I'm extremely excited.

Sadly no. Pistols won't make heads explode. It does have a very nice metal clink sound.

 

[eXistor]

Just finished it. It really does peak pretty early on, the later levels just aren't doing it for me, even one that should have been amazing:

, was just a boring level full of wasted potential. Not a bad game, but thoroughly mediocre imo, it could have been so much more but they shot their load at the beginning, never recovering.

Dammit. So those are the compromises that must be made for 60fps on PS4? No thank you.

Give me 30fps with AA.

Any chance you soaked up too much spunk and then couldn't see clearly the rest of the game? Maybe like, played it too much and got used to it? Seems like pretty are completing it quite quick for a reasonable length game.

It unlocks in PAL Land (Europe/AU/NZ) in a little over an hour.

I felt like it kept getting better to be honest.

 

[Big_Al]

Yes, yes, I remember. I called Duke Nukem Forever a "heinous travesty" on the first page of that thread.

The funny thing is, as mediocre as Duke Nukem Forever was, I still got some fun out of it. Wasn't even my worst game of 2011 and that surprised me.

 

[Raptor]

I don't think so. The heavier weapons deliver more gore.

Sadly no. Pistols won't make heads explode. It does have a very nice metal clink sound.

 

[shwimpy]

Hmmm.. just heard this was a direct sequel to the last game. I haven't played a Wolfenstein since 3D. Hope I don't get too lost. :lol

Hmm, says 2 hours here in Ireland. Oh well. By the time it finishes decrypting itll be time to go to bed :/

It should change to one hour soon Brer after it goes past 10pm

 

[DieH@rd]

When will the game be unlocked on US PSN?

 

[aro52]

When will the game be unlocked on US PSN?

Crossing my fingers and toes for 9pm PST (midnight EST).
Hopefully we don't have another MLB The Show situation...

Yep, exactly my thoughts.

Yeah, Steam's countdown timer ticks over by the hour -- it doesn't round down.

 

[Jito]

One other person thinks Duke Nukem Forever is a great game (although backpedaled after everyone disagreed with him)

haha thanks for the link, puts a lot more perspective on his opinions now (completely disregard all of his opinions) .

 

[Raptor]

Unfortunatly I will get this game till Saturday afternoon, fuck real life priorities!!

:/

Crossing them with you, but has that ever happened? 50 GB's to download I would like it at least around then.

 

[Big_Al]

Yeah, Steam's countdown timer ticks over by the hour rather than rounding down sooner.

Yep and there we go, now says 1hr remaining I'm very curious about how good the PC version is, especially as we haven't really heard much about it.

It's always funny to see people flat-out refusing to accept that maybe the game you've been looking forward to isn't all it's cracked up to be. If you love the game, good for you. I played and finished the thing (11 hours I think) and I didn't love it. It's a decent shooter like we've seen a million times before. If a game is great I can play it for hours on end and never get tired of it.

 

[aro52]

Yup, but it's hit and miss. Besides the MLB situation, "midnight releases" have been hitting around 12:20am either EST or PST. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason which way it goes.

11 hours straight though? Surely it'd have an effect. Seems like people are rushing...

TBH I only became interested a day or two ago when I saw a gaffer streaming the xb1 version early on and it seemed pretty impressive. I've not played the previous games. Although I can understand where you're coming from since I basically said you got bukaked by the game lol.

 

[scitek]

I have a feeling I'll like this game more and more on subsequent play-throughs.

 

[The Xtortionist]

This thread is a roller coaster of emotions.

I hate non-skippable first person "cutscenes". Definitely annoying during the second playthrough.

Why do devs do this?

You have a strange obsession with jizz my friend

I never said I played it 11 hours straight. I played it 11 hours over 3 days. I'd hardly say that's rushing.

I seem to share the same opinion. I'm close to chapter 8, but it gets a bit tedious. Wonder if its worth it to sink another 6 hours into it? I could also trade it back and get WD (if that turns out to be good).

But 11 hours sounds like a rather quick run, or are some later chapters shorter?

 

[WordsintheWater]

Yup, but it's hit and miss. Besides the MLB situation, "midnight releases" have been hitting around 12:20am either EST or PST. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason which way it goes.

Damn, okay then. I hope we actually get it around 12 EST, have a final tomorrow, but it isn't till 1:30 would love to play an hour before bed.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

Dammit. So those are the compromises that must be made for 60fps on PS4? No thank you.

Give me 30fps with AA.

what compromises? is there no AA at all? or is there more things missing?

Nice!! Cause that 40gb decryption is gonna be no joke..

MGS V Ground Zeroes was at 12am EST while inFamous Second Son was 3am EST.

Really lame that no game has used the pre load functionality yet. Do they plan to with Watch Dogs? It's one week from release so if we don't hear a thing from the PSN update tomorrow then likely not.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

You should go ahead and preorder it so you can cancel. Everyone's doing it.


One guy compared it to Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines, which I can't even take seriously.

Nevermind than it probably suck big time

 

[eXistor]

It did seem the chapters became shorter as they went on, but I will admit to not really exploring. I just didn't feel like it in the game. If you're more into the game than I was and you do explore more I'd say a first run-through can be up to 15 hours, but I really think that's generous. There's really not that much to explore, it's all quite linear. Most exploration comes from simply scouring the environments for hidden objects, something I found quite tedious.

 

[Skyzard]

You started it

Fair enough, that's reasonable.

hangar from chapter 6. I also don't like the laser cutter at all, not the beefed up version either.

 

[molnizzle]

If there's AA then there's not enough, judging by the PS4 screens posted above. Now that Infamous has exposed me to quality IQ on console I have little tolerance for anything else.

 

[Chance Hale]

Just have to use any Euro server for the VPN? Will flyvpn work or is there another one to use as I believe I've only used fly for Asian countries.
