2012 PC Game: Duke Nukem Forever Analysis For PC

We almost did not believe it. Many veteran players we thought would not make the day that Duke Nukem will return to their long “vacation”, but it has finally happened. After 14 years, countless delays, cancellations of projects, changes in development studies and other circumstances added finally 2K Games and Gearbox Software studio (responsible for the great Borderlands ) brings us the highly anticipated sequel to the classic 3D Realms, Duke Nukem Forever . Hail to the King, baby!

Alien Annihilation
Overall, is it a shooter Duke Nukem Forever revolutionary subjective? Not at all. Do you have a overwhelming graphic section? Far from reality. Are we seeing a more sophisticated titles of the moment? Far from it. But what is certain is that the vast majority of fans of the original are going to spend big girls flirting with half-naked, wiping of the most brutal ways imaginable to aliens, enjoying the constant mockery of the protagonist and causing chaos at the wheel of a vehicle. That is the basis of this proposal, and we left a pleasant taste, not intended as a Triple-A, in fact far from it, but it is a fun and enjoyable title.

The plot closely follows the events of the first Duke Nukem. It has been 12 years since our hero eliminate the alien threat and Duke has become the most famous and well known type in the world. But this peace is just right at the beginning of the adventure, as the aliens invade Earth again after brazenly deceive the American authorities with a fictitious peace proposal. And what’s worse, kidnap all attractive women! Thereafter begins the journey of Duke, who is willing to elicit the whole truth to the invaders and, incidentally, annihilate!

And, broadly speaking, that is the goal and the main objective of this shooter: stop armies of aliens. During the 10-12 hours lasts how individual campaign we fought hundreds of battles against a variety of interesting rivals, bosses included. But Duke Nukem Forever is not first-person shoot’em up to use ordinary, as it incorporates many more ingredients.

Let’s rock!
As a good shooter, the gameplay is based heavily in the fighting. The Duke Nukem Forever shootings are as common as exciting and, above all, violence. In this way, decapitations and dismemberments are a constant, although the comic touch that exudes the full game does not ever get to be unpleasant or gory.

The number of rivals that come our way is really high, as is the strength of the weapons of which we can fall back on. Our favorites are still the classic, such as cut or missile, but this must be added more advanced technology like plasma rifles, lightning, freezing or Shrinker (reducer), a weapon capable of making our opponents Lilliputians … later to crush a stomp. As fun and rewarding.

However, it is clear that, unlike other similar titles in Duke Nukem Forever we can only carry two of these weapons at a time (plus the appropriate portion of proximity mines and grenades). This is due to the desire of developers that players experience with all weapons, thus avoiding the fact of overcoming all the adventure using only one or two. Maybe in comparison with action video games for Next-Gen that we are accustomed Forever’s approach is very simple, both in management and collection of weapons in the development of combat too simple, but this is not something to bother at all fans of the saga created by 3DRealms: The public is oriented towards the title.

The Kick Butt - Conclusions
After a decade and a half of absence best thing that could happen to Duke Nukem fans was just got a new delivery stores, and you’ll quickly return to enjoy again the brazen arrogance and strong personality of Duke Nukem. This subjective shooter offers tons of humor in all colors with impossibly hilarious moments in the early stages of the game that are worthy heirs of the classic. Even so, as the reader will have guessed by the text, not the best representative of its genus nor intended. The only goal they have set Gearbox Software developers is to produce a title capable of entertaining both fans of the character (players and veterans) as the unconditional subjective shooter genre. And from our point of view, they have succeeded.

Duke Nukem Forever is a title that recovers the spirit and personality of the title of 3D Realms landmark back in the mid 90’s, was his main goal from the beginning of its development and in this sense the goal is met. However, to achieve a degree of excellence that would have put the game to match his predecessor would have needed a higher degree of spark. The fighting is reasonably fun, but do not reach the point of entertainment which reached its predecessor at the time or reissued their downloadable remake was put on sale in 2008 for Xbox Live Arcade.

In this sense it is nice to see how a simple action game can be launched smoothly also during a time in which shooters achieve a degree of sophistication hardly imaginable a few years ago, but it is also true that to transcend and become a title recommended beyond the group of diehard fans needed more than a handful of sand placed one after another and a few hordes of enemies to destroy.

The character is left wanting from the beginning, yes, and adventure offers us so bizarre and entertaining situations and varied, in that sense there is no complaint. The weapons which we can fall back on is large and very funny, which together with the generous extension of the individual mode (multiplayer modes separately) makes the title does not disappoint in this regard. For all this we think we have a continuation of a classic that can disappoint in direct comparison with the original quality level, but certainly amply satisfied if we consider the very complex conditions under which the game has been generated.

Duke Nukem Forever Rating
Forever The expectation may seem excessive for those who do not know Duke’s charisma, however it is one of the most representative sagas shooter genre and as such deserves respect even though the present one is not exactly the best of their deliveries . The best news? Finally we have a new adventure of Duke, a tribute to fans of the original that surely will not disappoint.
