Many people have come to accept this and some are ready to forgive the archaic design and nasty visuals simply based on the game’s history. To say Duke Nukem Forever is a relic is redundant. The only people who could get off to this game are the criminally insane. When it comes time to see Duke’s “Babes” attempt to get sexy and pose seductively for you, the whole affair becomes rather nightmarish. Those that are animated walk like they’re trying not to shit themselves. Of particular note are the various non-player characters, some of which aren’t even animated and simply stand like terrifying statues. You can tell where token efforts were made to bring DNF up to par, but such efforts were wasted. We briefly touched on the graphics, but let it be known that you can expect a hideous looking creatures to assault your eyes. The next level may look like crap and play just as badly. Some levels are clearly of higher quality than others, leading to a game that feels stitched together from random bits of code found on the floor. Occasionally, a level looks graphically superior and features smoother gameplay. The fact that it’s so inconsistent in quality will help this self delusion to propagate. Concepts DNF knows nothing of.Ĭertain players may kid themselves into thinking the game will get better. That one moment aside, I was unable to attain any kind of emotion from the game at all, except utter boredom and a desire to play something far superior, like Painkiller or Serious Sam - two games that are also pretty damn old but manage to provide exhilarating, fast-paced combat and plenty of weapons. There’s one slightly cute joke aimed at Halo, but that gag is overshadowed by my predominant thought that Duke Nukem Forever has no right to make fun of other videogames. I struggled to raise a smile once during my playthrough.
