I gotta be the only one that actually liked this game when it came out
Probably
FWIW I'm pretty tolerant of jank / AA games / lowbrow humor / old games....but just could not tolerate Forever when playing for the first time this year. The game is just 'cringe' and lazy. And sadly the best part of DN is the humor but here the jokes would have not landed even when Duke Nukem 3D game out originally. The shooting was competent (mostly) however rail shooter portions, RC car part, etc were just terrible and you just wanted them to end.
If someone wants a modern Duke I'd suggest Duke Nukem's Bulletstorm Tour over this.
Duke Nukem Forever is like Postal 3, if you must play it, just don't expect much and only do so to scratch it off the bucket list.
This game is awful. I say this as a Duke Nukem fan. Duke Nukem Forever, is easily the worst game in the series, and is in the running for one of the worst games ever made. Steam should be paying you to play it, not the other way around.

Yeah, for some reason the game's charm wore off with enhanced graphics. When everything was ridiculously pixelated it translated a lot better.
I really need to get around to playing this one of these days. Think one time I got through the intro that is like the final boss from DN3D and maybe a tiny bit more, but then stopped for reasons lost to the mists of time. I swear I got this on one of the really early fire sales when it was only like $5. Maybe it was one of those GS pricing mistakes that they ultimately honored.

In terms of humor, they went too far on being crude instead of just funny one liners. Sure Duke 3D had some crude stuff, but the best stuff was the 90's style action hero one liners.

Amen, they seemed to gravitate to trying to be shocking or Andrew Dice Clay-ish as to leaning into tropes.

Literally shows both Windows and macOS icons under each game title... Glad I clicked and didn't assume it was Windows/PC only.
