Is there an SP Demo out? all I have been able to find is a Demo asking for a key and I am not about to pull the pin unless I do some testing... even if I have been waiting for 10 yrs for it or not!

I played it. I cant get passed the first boss in the quicktime event. I press "space" as much and as hard as I can, but Duke doesnt even pull the wire a inch. I think the game is bugged. Way the go I whould say, 14 years and a gamebreaking bug straight at the beginning fo the game.

Though access to the forthcoming Duke Nukem Forever demo was originally planned to be included for those that purchased the Borderlands Game of the Year Edition, users are finding demo keys linked to their Steam accounts if they had purchased the game before October 12.

Duke Nukem Forever
To check and see if you have a key, find Borderlands in your Steam Library and click the "CD Key" link in the game pane. If you've got the key, it should show up as "Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club Code"

soz pal that's about all I can find about the demo "key"

Its a great game. What shooters need, not another boring CoD terrorist excuse. If a man doesn't like it, he isn't a real man.

 

[beman36]

Real man here, guaranteed.

I watched the first 45 minutes of the game and it looks boring and very very linear.

obviously the guy that made this video didn't take it for a long enough spin, if he had he would have known that duke doesn't sprint in the beginning of the game...the introduction if you will. After which when U start REALLY playing the game you do in fact sprint...time to get another job MATE! the game rocks so far and can't wait to get more into it!

It's out?! I didn't think they were going to release it until June 14th?

 

[Airbot]

I think he's talking about the demo.

I believe it's the 13th.

Looks like it's available in some parts of the world already though.

Rat in a microwave. I missed the Duke humour

I think Duke is going to be split up into three main groups:

• Kids who never played the original 'won't get it' and just bitch about the outdated graphics.
• Those who will be disappointed because of unrealistic expectations considering the time it took (the majority... )
• And those who will enjoy it for what is.

I've only played for a few hours, but I've had some chuckles and some fun.

Yay found out why my spacebar during the quicktime event didnt do nothing. Turns on its because of my crappy graphics card. I had to turn the resolution way way down so that I could execute the spacebar quicktime event, otherwise duke didnt even move a inch.

Hope this helps anybody else, since I wasnt the only one with this problem, nor will i be the last one.

Game itself is okay, its not magnificent or the best game in the world, but it is a good timekiller and a diecent game with DUKE NUKEM ofcourse. BTW anybody whining about graphics, are not true gamers. Games are not for sightseeing but for playing. That means its only gameplay that madders. Graphic shouldnt be judged on a game at all.

Hit the nail in the proverbial Head I think.

To me, this is like a Max Payne game, I would buy it and play it just because I loved the others and not because it was the best game tactical wise or graphic wise.

Tell us a little bit about the game experience smarteyeball being that some of us poor zaps have to wait a few more days and can't get in the Demo ride

So far it's a typical linear, checkpoint based yet solid FPS shooter. With over the top humour

You can interact with a lot objects in the game world, the majority are simple things like turning on/off lights, showers etc or picking up objects to throw at enemies. However there are a few interactable objects that increase Dukes "Ego Bar" (basically his regenerative health bar), so it's worth interacting with a lot of stuff to find the useful ones to increase your max health.

You can drink beer to take more damage, or use steroids to insta-gib enemies in melee mode.

Gameplay wise, it's far from ground breaking and the graphics do indeed look dated. But overall it's still a fun game.

Those who remember the original Duke3D will probably more tolerant of it's shortcomings and get more enjoyment out of it than those that never played the original.


EDIT:

The 'only two' primary weapons does suck though - not sure why they went with that decision :huh:

There was a lot of complaining about that. Apparently it has something to do with how the distribution system is setup:
