Duke Nukem Forever, PC or PS3?

AMDX23800+ · 19 Jun 2011 at 23:25

Hi,
I used to play Duke Nukem 3D all the time on PC and loved it.

My gf has bought me it on PS3 and i don't know whether to swap it for a PC game instead...

The only thing is my computer is on the lowest recommended specs...
AMD X2 3800+ 2.0Ghz, can be overclocked
2gb ddr
7800GT can be overclocked.

I do not want to invest in a new PC for this lol.

PC or PS3?

Also if anyone has a link for the demo that wud be great, can't seem to find one!

Cheers

ps3 with that spec I would guess.

The demo can be snagged on torrents, it was removed from steam after the release of the full game.

Googling "duke nukem forever demo" suggest fileplanet amongst other has the new game demo, but I think it's from over a year ago? Do you really want it? it's getting some awful reviews:

However it should just barely run on your PC: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/Duke-...-Specs-Steam-Gearbox-Software,news-35522.html

Don't bother with this mess. Lasted 45 minutes on my hard drive.

I was going to suggest swapping it for Store Credit - but your call at the end of the day

Judging by reviews of the game... Neither.

Gerard · 20 Jun 2011 at 01:51

Just try the demo out then make up your own mind. We all know the reviews are full of angsty bellends trashing it for every single reason they can.

Or maybe it's because after such a long wait people are dissapointed at how sub-average it is.

Plenty of people are enjoying it for what it is. Reviewers were never going to give this game a fair shake and the retardedly low scores just show that.

That's basically what I said. :confused:

It looks seriously crap.

The first one was cool cheese, this looks like rotten cheese.

chaotic_uk · 20 Jun 2011 at 02:05

i enjoyed it tbh and finished it 3 times as i got bored with dirt3

Vanilla · 20 Jun 2011 at 02:19

As people have said, it's awful.

Wait a few monhts and it'll be only a few quid.

This tbh. Seems most the reviewers realised they'd get more people reading complete panning of it, and in turn more revenue. End of the day, very few of them have ever cared about a fair score, it's how many users you can get to view as many adverts as possible. What better way than "lolol check out this review, they totally panned the new Duke game".

It's a pretty enjoyable game still, half the ragey toss it seems to be collecting isn't exactly justified. It's not perfect, but as it's own entity without relying on pent up hype and expectations, it's fun.

Lots of people going "judging by reviews..." or "this looks", and writing it off without any actual experience playing it.

Common sense: swap it for Bulletstorm which is 100x more fun, then get DNF in a few months when its half the price it is now.

This.

When I got Bulletstorm I got sucked in and played it because it was fun with all the combos and stuff.

But I am about 3-4 hours in DNF and it feel likes a chore to play it because it is not that engaging.

The demo on fileplanet isn't really a demo, if you go to download it it's only 20mb and the files called 'aprilfools' lol!

I love FPS games on PC but I guess I might have to keep it on PS3 tbh, due to me definitely not upgrading lol!

Any chance I can run a mouse and keyboard on the PS3?

Im not too bothered at how good it is, I loved the old one and wanna give it a chance haha, the jokes and cheeseyness of it just make me laugh!
