MisterBibs posted:I'm playing it for the first time, and I don't think I can bring myself to call Duke Nukem Forever a horrible game. It's simple as gently caress and the "Duke Is Totally Awesome In Every Way!" poo poo is tiresome from minute one, but the weapons are designed so similarly to DN3D that the nostalgia is smoothing over the varied annoyances I've had so far. Are you playing the Steam version? FWIW, it was patched to remove some of the biggest garbage irritations from the game. Namely: * If you can carry more than two weapons at once, you're playing the patched version. * If you aren't having textures randomly change to their 64x64 LOD versions, you're playing the patched version. * If your save games aren't randomly corrupting themselves, you're playing the patched version. * If steam.exe isn't pegging one of your CPU's cores at 100%, you're playing the patched version.

I mean, I've had brief lovely textures when I alt-tab but they get replaced pretty quickly. Tis a weird game when the actual playing of it illicits a  reaction, but it's from something that's so innately your childhood that you can't help but feel  about it.

I remember the two-weapon limit being especially bad because there was a trophy for keeping duke's golden handgun for the entire game, which meant you basically had one weapon and one peashooter.

I didn't get more than an hour into it but what I played of DNF was pretty drat mediocre as a shooter, and that was the patched version. I don't see how it's a respectable game on any level, since even the most standard fare in the genre play better, look better, etc.

sorry i must dedicate 35% of my brain reserves to wallet watch for you see this is better on my back. i guess i could just not put a thousand business cards and other assorted poo poo in there but it is far easier for me to instead set it down at my workdesk and focus on it for 8 hours

Hello, I am an adult. Excuse me while I stand around awkwardly in front of this train seat and block foot traffic while I reach into my back pockets. No, I'm sorry miss, this seat is taken for my wallet and phone. I'm not going to put them in my front pockets like some kind of teenager! What the-?! They're both gone?! Driver, ho there! Call the subway police, before some pickpocket gets my valuables to a Thieves Guild fence!!

I could see the argument in someone who's trying to dress sharp but sticking a huge phone and a fat wallet in his front pockets, and it fucks up their silhouette. The catch is, unless you're a model, or work in PR in New York, nobody gives a poo poo. I'll put poo poo in my back pockets if I'm wearing a suit and facing members of the press, which is basically once in a blue moon. 99% of the time tho I'm wearing plain pants and a short sleeved shirt and do not give two shits and prefer to be able to sit comfortably.

I play a lot of pretty lame console shooters and I honestly can't think of many that impressed me less than DNF, once again acknowledging the caveat that I'd be crazy to form a permanent impression off of the bit that I did play

i have literally never heard of "putting your phone and wallet in your front pockets makes you look like a teenager" until just now like seriously, what the gently caress? is that a real thing? front pockets are for wallets, keys, phones, whatever. back pockets are stupid and make you look dumb if you put your phone in them

I tried to play that The Next Big Thing: Hollywood Monsters game and the writing was so devoid of charm and humor that I gave up 6 minutes in. It has pretty favorable user reviews so maybe I'm just crazy? Or maybe the game loses a lot in translation. It's weird, I usually love adventure games. Well, except the Telltale Jurassic Park game, but gently caress that disaster.

No trouble, it's just fun for about 1/4th of the games runtime The fighting gameplay is shallow as gently caress, just mash A until it's time to press B for a finisher. Sometimes you dodge.
