Nice to hear Crysis 2 didn't go the 'mostly multiplayer' route.

Steam is having a great deal this weekend: Free multiplayer on CoD:Black Ops through Sunday. I've gotten a couple hours in already. It's pretty intense. Might be enough to make me go for it.

Anyone interested in Duke Nukem Forever?

I played the demo, 3 times, yesterday.

All I can say is it's definitely up to date and true to form. Duke always has a cigar, beers, sluts, and an ego equivalent to the size of the U.S of A.

This ones going to kick ass....but I think people are expecting too much. It's not supposed to be a "game of the year" or anything of the sort, just old fashioned FPS violence with classic 80's style one liners.

Duke is still the chauvinistic pig we all know and love from way back......It's going to be a heck of a fun game.

madwilliamflint · 06-05-2011, 04:06 PM

Love it. Where'd you pick up a demo?

I liked the demo quite a bit. Admittedly a lot of it has to do with the nostalgia factor, but it was pretty entertaining. It plays like an old school title, will be interesting to see how it sells.

ummmm, it's "around"

Shoot me a PM I'll find a way to send it to you. Won't take much.

I'll probably buy the game but I didn't want to preorder because I want it the day it's released. I'll go to walmart at like 12:15am and pick it up.

Yes, I agree. It's just a fun game, it won't be game of the year but it damn well will entertain.

Did you see the secret area to Dukes Penthouse? Funny posters there of Duke bad@$$ness and more cheesy one liners

Sure did. I got a kick out of it, really looking forward to his one. Only one more week to go (hopefully

)

Bill86 · 06-06-2011, 02:32 PM

8 days, yeah the demo was a bit short but it told me all I need to know, I NEED this game.

hammondc · 06-06-2011, 06:09 PM

Anyone play LA Noire? I was considering picking it up.

Bill86 · 06-06-2011, 07:09 PM

I don't think they released I for PC

Yup...it's awesome!!

If you're looking for GTA IV style gameplay, you'll be disapointed. They definitley targeted the 40's era crime-drama vibe with this one.

I really didnt like LA Noire the gameplay was a little to slow for my taste.

Apoco · 06-11-2011, 06:50 PM

Finally ordered God of War 2 and 3. THey have arrived - starting on GoW2 right now.

Also - I went to an old friend's house last night to roll my D&D character to join in on the campaign they just started. Should be fun

Bill86 · 06-12-2011, 09:06 PM

Playing Duke Nukem Forever.....this game is kind of annoying...not sure why. Even on easy you can get 2-3 shot. Doesn't make much sense.

They also introduced mini puzzles like in half life. Kinda stupid and non-Duke like...so far I'm giving it a 7/10. We'll see if it gets any better.

Bill86 · 06-13-2011, 08:27 PM

Eh game comes out in a few hours, I just finished it not 2 hours ago. It's not bad, not worth the like $60 pricetag though.....I would have liked to see a longer game, more interactive and less CoD like.

Brutus2600 · 06-13-2011, 11:56 PM

Agreed...the problem is this would've been a great follow-up 10 years ago, but 12 years later it really brought the cheese and weak-sauce.

Bill86 · 06-13-2011, 11:59 PM

Well they made it too much like CS. For 1
2. 2 weapons...wtf, and the freeze gun does nothing....
3. Not enough Duke one liners
4. Needs more smoking, beer drinking and sluts
5. More items should have been interactive
6. EASILY better graphics
7. MUCH more single player.
8. Less puzzles
9. Shrunken Duke was overused and annoying.

I could keep going on and on.....overall I'd give it a 7/10. Assuming they deliver on the next one that is.

Basically I wanted straight forth badassery with nonstop beating the crap out of everything....AKA "Duke"

madwilliamflint · 06-14-2011, 08:26 AM

Yep. Played about 45 minutes of Duke this morning after it unlocked. Some cute stuff there, which I appreciate. I'm sick to death of games with no sense of humor (take that as an implied request for recommendations

).

But it does seem a little... I dunno... too much and not enough. We'll see.

Decided to re-up on EvE after a while. Boy has THAT changed!
