it would look just like new vegas with deserts or point lookout with the swamps. A fallout with snow or something would be a change of pace.

It would be like if Point Lookout wasn't retarded!

haha true.

I loved Point Lookout... once I got a mod to nerf the absurd toughness of the swampfolk and tribals.

Am I the only person who wants to get the new Duke Nukem game?

Nope, people are just too tired of it being delayed to be excited about it being released

The important part is that it has finally been released.

I might have to try it, mostly out of a sense of morbid curiosity. After all, this is a game that was first announced when I was barely into my teens and is just getting released now. I can't avoid wondering how it's going to turn out. But I know that no matter what, it will definitely not be worth a 15-year wait.

Also, I doubt I'll buy it myself, but I have undergrad friends who are huge gamers and will have DNF on the day it's released. I'll probably just go to their apartment and play.

Yeah, but none of you were even in kindergarten when DNF was announced. Think about I feel...I was younger than any of you are now when this game was being hyped. I'm actually old enough to remember the E3 trailers from 1998 and 2001, and when PC Gamer magazine did a huge exclusive on DNF in their Holiday 1999 issue (yeah...back in the days when people actually paid money for print editions of magazines).

Actually, what's really amazing is that in the time it's taken DNF to get released, I have pretty much ceased to be a gamer altogether. My curiosity really is the only reason I am even considering playing this game.

The E3 trailer for Far Cry 3 had a nickel-plated AK.
I just felt the need to tell someone.

It looks good, but I was hoping for more FC2 style mercenary action like had been rumored and the ability to choose your character from a bunch of different mercs

I'm getting bored with my games. Do you guys have any suggestions for some first-person shooter games.

Did they remove that BS weapon degrdation yet? If not I'm going to get something else. I mean I liked the first farcry but the seccond wasn't worth the rental.

The Darkness wasn't bad; looks real purty too.
Bioshock is worth getting.

Has it really been 15 years? No wonder I have like no interest in the game, I was like 5 or 6 back then. Duke nukem is kinda a joke now. I wonder what this game will do, they already have video of him throwing a piece of poop at bad guys and stuff like that.....

Hah, you think you're old? I remember the issue of CVG where they had to tell people Quake wasn't an April Fools' joke, and my first computer had a 512K RAM expansion the size of a postcard. Here's the second one's 1 megabyte.

The difference 18 years of games makes:

They're both F-22s, the first one was based on concept artwork.

Does this mean I'll be taking Frank Bilders and his magical collection of exploding rust out for another safari? :D

The game trailer says that they ditched the weapon degredation...Thank the gods as that sucked in a bad way.


Me I have you all beat. I'm old enough to have had a copy of Duke Nukem 3D when it came out.


Yes Rocky is as old as dirt and twice as ugly.

Ha, I've got a Win95 copy of Quake and the big box it came in. Even got a couple of games on floppy with codewheel and page / paragraph / word / letter copy protection lying around here somewhere.

I think I might go out and buy Far Cry 2. It seems MUCH more interesting than Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Ehhhh, not really. It's definitely longer though.

I didn't actually own a copy of Duke Nukem 3D, but I am old enough to have played it when it first came out (I was about 10 or 11 then).

When Swordfish and Smithy started talking about DNF, I was just amazed because I would never have expected teenagers today had even heard of Duke Nukem. I figured that Duke Nukem 3D's gameplay and graphics are way too antiquated to appeal to anyone besides gaming historians and dudes our age who are nostalgic for the good old days.

OK, then yeah, you are definitely older than me, and started gaming much earlier.

Duke is kinda a meme, people use the duke nukem soundboard to prank people and such.

I remember playing the original side scrolling Duke Nukem, along with Commander Keen. And in another sign of the times, it was DLed from a BBS.

Well, 14 years, to be exact (first announcement was in 1997).

I haven't seen the video of him throwing shit. I have seen videos that have him peeing in a urinal, punching a monster in the groin, and discovering someone's Duke Nukem-brand vibrator and then turning it on (and this is all in-game stuff).

Damn, I'm not even old enough to remember BBS...

Oh, and for comic value, those of you haven't seen the Duke Nukem Forever List should check it out:

It's a list of stuff that's happened (in gaming, politics, technology, sports, pop culture, etc.) since Duke Nukem Forever was announced.

poop for your enjoyment

OK, I think I just changed my mind about wanting to play this game. WTF? :eek: :mad:

Theres still capture the babe mode i guess.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon out on 10/11/11. I think MW3 just got bumped off of the top of the to-pre-order list.

(And is there a rule that every game has to have a gunship level now?)

If you get it and ever get Live, try the multiplayer

There are SOOOO many thing wrong with this paragraph, I don't even know where to begin.

I'm a little effy on that one. I love the Ace Combat franchise (F-117 Night Storm remains my favorite flight sim, though), but one of the things I liked most about it was the strangereal setting.

Yeah, I was okay with whatever planet or alternate dimension the rest of the series was set in. Bringing it to the real world just brings in more complications and limitations. Leave the real world to HAWX. I'm guessing it'll be a lot like HAWX, except, you know, good.

Let's just reboot the goddamn franchise with a director who can direct and actors who can act. Here's an example of GI Joe done right (made by yours truly):

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit.../news/?a=35982

I'd love for Horizon to get HAWX's flight characteristics, though. If you were flying a Fulcrum or Flanker in HAWX (or pretty much any other plane), you could actually pull off maneuvers like this. Good luck trying that in any previous Ace Combat title.

"Actors"? The only weak point I felt Rise of Cobra had was Channing Tatum.

Channing Tatum can not act even if I held a shotgun to his head. But the rest of the actors were okay in their role (like Christopher Eccleston as Destro) or were miscasted (like Marlon Wayans as Ripcord). But the sequel is going to suck so much, not even The Rock can save it. And go check out my fancast!!

Two things stuck out: 1) Ken Watanabe is 51 years old. Why not just put Louis Changchien as Storm Shadow? Snake Eyes is supposed to be a white guy anyway. 2) I wonder what Vernon Wells is doing now? I always thought he'd make a great Major Bludd.

Spartan is right, the casting they had for the film wasn't that bad. Channing Tatum makes Keanu Reeves look like Laurence Olivier, and Joseph Gordon Levitt just felt a bit "off" as CC. I don't think he's a bad actor, it's just not the right role for him, in my opinion. As for Marlon Wayans, I know he CAN be a good actor, I just blame the writing.

I never used that enhanced manueverabilty whatever in HAWX except to get the achievement anyway. It just felt weird. I know the games aren't supposed to be realistic, but that was just too much.

Got 179 tradein credit at gamestop today. They had the 50% more deal. Funny thing is my copy of left4dead2 i got used for 20 dollars and got 17.95 back:D

I thought Ken Wantanabe was 42. And I did not know that Snakw Eyes was white (I always knew he was badass). But do you know who would make a good Tomax and Xamot? Sharlto Copley. What did you think of my other choices?
