Simon Hurley (today a bigwig on fortnite) nearly got fired in his first week in the game industry because he made fun of duke nukem forever in 2003 and randy pitchford overheard him.

Randy got his start designing levels for Duke and other related games, it's no wonder he's so attached to the property. Sure fits his personality, too.

Funnily enough in the 2001 build, you gain health back by killing enemies. So something like the glory kill gameplay loop was planned for Duke Nukem Forever, they just scrapped it for the hiding behind cover and sucking your thumb approach CoD has for the final build.

There was a contingent of people like myself who wanted DNF to be a deconstruction of the FPS genre told with tongue in cheek sensibilities.

Doom 2016 is a fun shooter but it doesn't really do the stuff that makes Duke Nukem memorable.

I like the implication in Duke 3D in that the cops just turned into pig monsters once the aliens showed up, meaning all cops in Duke's world are evil pig aliens in disguise just waiting for the right moment to let the mask slip.

Weirdly I think DNF was one of the few games who did the awful hide and regenerate health decently. By turning it into ego, and you raised your maximum by doing stupid macho crap like lifting weights, sports, etc. Sure it's very silly but it fit thematically and was explained in an acceptable way instead of the usual 'lol you just get health back by magic in this non-magic setting somehow I don't know'.

The game was garbage except that's an insult to garbage everywhere.

Ego as a health pool fits way better with killing enemies for health recovery rather than sitting in cover and letting it regenerate over time, tho

The only times it's really worth preordering are the rare occasions when you get a discount for doing so. You could also make a case for preloading large games if you have a slow/bad/unreliable internet connection.

I mean raising your maximum ego was fine in the finished game but I think being badass and killing tons of enemies without getting hit to regain health as ego as in the 2001 build works better than sitting in cover waiting for it to regenerate as in the 2011 build. You'd need enemies that attack mostly with avoidable projectiles instead of hitscanners (like how Doom 2016 did it) for this system to work though which the 2001 build seems lacking in so, yeah. And by Duke's world I mean the games version of Earth. It implies all cops are not just bastards but alien bastards who are going to pay for shooting down his ride.

I would also add "you want a physical copy of some niche title." You aren't going to have a hard time getting a copy of the latest Call of Duty or Madden, but somehow I don't think your local Target is going to have many copies of Touhou Genso Wanderer on the shelves.

Yep. It had some avoidable projectiles if I remember correctly but maybe I'm getting it mixed up with Duke3d.

Sorry I got the tone wrong at the end of that post. I meant it as in it's not exclusive to just Duke's world. Although that's insulting to actual pigs so I apologize to the animals.

It’s probably true that backwards compatibility is a pain in the rear end thing to build that doesn’t generate much revenue.

Probably. Generating revenue seems to be the only thing this guy can do halfway right.
