"Duke Nukem Forever" not dead?

Isn't it funny how the ESRB labels gags about piss, farts and knockers "Mature" Humour? Mature? Really? If that's the case then my sense of humour is as subtle and dry as Frasier Crane's!

Remember you said this when the 'fuzzy patches' are removed by a simple hack on the PC, but the same doesn't apply to the XBox ---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ---------- As long as it's got plenty of Duke un-PC gameplay etc, it'll be a riot 1) Damn, you're right about that. That's a ruddy good point. Although are the pixellated asses and bewbs just for the trailer though? Mafia 2, for example, has Playboy magazines as collectibles and those feature unblurred butts and bewbs (best. collectible. ever. ) 2) Oh aye, plenty of un-PC nonsense. Quite frankly I'm rather looking forward to going to the toilet in the game, haha! I loved the sense of silliness and crudeness in Duke Nukem 3D, so this is going to be a laugh riot. Its bound to be 18, the first one was and that was the days when they couldnt do half the things they can now do visually, there will be bouncing boobs & full length porn booths, the lot! not to mention extreme gore & risque jokes... Aye, Duke Nukem 3D (actually the third game in the series - there were two side scrolling platformers before DN3D) was rated 18 all those years ago, so this is guaranteed to be an 18 ... in fact the artwork on websites is already predicting that. I can't find an entry on the BBFC's site, but they won't have gotten onto it yet (the hand over to PEGI for videogame rating hasn't happened just yet). But I'm 100% sure it'll be an 18. There's no way it'll be anything less. Isn't it funny how the ESRB labels gags about piss, farts and knockers "Mature" Humour? Mature? Really? If that's the case then my sense of humour is as subtle and dry as Frasier Crane's! I do love those ESRB labels. They just make me want a game more. Same for the BBFC info that they sometimes put on the back of DVDs etc.

There's no way it'll be anything less. Might be a 15, but I doubt it.. The BBFC (compared to the US) can be quite liberal these days

Coming out in May....Anyone else getting this?

[Danny]

Nope. As someone who didnt play this series when they were young and has no nostalgia to tint my opinion i will say this: "it doesnt look like a great game" I dont care about the fact that people seem more excited about it including strippers than doing things the originals were lauded for doing so many years ago. It just does not look like a great videogame. not shitty. not amazing, just eh. Honestly a lot of people are letting themselves up for a big dissapointment. im talking phantom menace here.

For 2011, the pickings have been slim so far...I've been counting on Homefront to be a hit....A buddy of mine posted the trailer in this post on my facebook page and I didn't even know it was sooo soon of being released. Figure it was going to be like Diablo III and hide under an f-ing rock....

well 2010 was one of the best years for games releases in a long time, its gonna be a year or two before the next projects see fruition. theres stuff ill get like dragon age 2 but gears of war 3 is the only thing im really excited about this year and ms shoved it back to september from may so it wouldnt have anything to compete with...

Definitely looking forward to it, as Duke 3D was one of my first forays into PC gaming, but you can tell DNF is running on an older engine (probably the same as Prey). Not sure if I'll buy it at launch, but I'm hoping for a great game after all these years. theres stuff ill get like dragon age 2 but gears of war 3 is the only thing im really excited about this year and ms shoved it back to september from may so it wouldnt have anything to compete with... 2010 was great, but are those really the only games you're interested in this year? What about: -Mass Effect 3 -Dark Souls -Elder Scrolls V -Catherine -Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon -Mortal Kombat -Battlefield 3 -Batman: Arkham City -RAGE -Forza 4 -Tomb Raider -Silent Hill Downpour -Child of Eden the launches of 3DS and NGP...and E3 is still 3 months away! Also, I thought you said Dragon Age 2 was dumbed down crap.

Battlefield 3 is going to kick arse this year, I'm well pumped for that one! may need to further upgrade my PC though... LA Noir looks interesting too! Maybe even Zombie island if it lives up to the trailers

Coming out in May....Anyone else getting this? May is all about L.A. Noire for me, so I think I'll get Duke Nukem Forever at a later stage when it's a bit cheaper. I don't particularly fancy paying £40 for a game I was talking about with fevered anticipation when I'd just started my GCSEs (which was sodding ages ago now). I'll definitely play it, and I'm looking forward to it, but I'll come in at a later date personally.

It just came on my radar. ---------- Post added at 07:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ---------- forgettings? I know I'm hungover but damn...I must be still somewhat trashed too...

2010 was great, but are those really the only games you're interested in this year? What about: -Mass Effect 3 kind of a given but lack of news bar the one trailer has gotten me excited. -Dark Souls still not gotten demons souls -Elder Scrolls V im getting it, but after the oblivion gates storyline of the last game a dude fighting dragons has me less than enthused -Catherine not getting a release outside japan -Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon NOPE -Mortal Kombat NOPE -Battlefield 3 NOPE -Batman: Arkham City NOPE -RAGE NOPE -Forza 4 NOPE -Tomb Raider NOPE -Silent Hill Downpour ill get it but its a genre thats being slowly killed off so my hopes are very low -Child of Eden will never own kinect Also, I thought you said Dragon Age 2 was dumbed down crap. so is mass effect 2 but i enjoyed it enough, just not as much as its predecessor. Theres things ill get, but the only one i really am interested in is gears 3, because i have no doubt in mass effect and dragon age and the like you will win everything forever at the end. gears has always had more glass half empty endings for the most part and the characters seem genuinely tired of having to still be fighting, that draws me in a low more than the generic protagonists we get in most games who, regardless of history or deed find no problem with 'yay more fighting, back in the saddle!', i just like a story where the characters aren't so easy to switch roles in a plot as easy as some do. but its still not an amazing series but i am just more excited to see that storys fruition than a few other because i cant say how its going to end really but with most others on your list thats kind of a given from the off.
