Holy shit, this is actually fun.
Sure thing, the game itself is pretty mediocre, gameplay gimmicks are the only redeeming quality (and even then, they get old pretty fast).

But Duke, he's actually great. I don't know if it was intentional, but every line just sounds so meta. It's like, Duke is aware he's somehow in the middle of an overly generic game, and he recognizes the poor quality of everything surrounding him. It's almost like he knows he isn't actually there (he's just a talking skin), he can't even interact with people, they just acknowledge the script he's supposed to follow. But he doesn't even follow it, he's just Duke Nukem forced through the plot of a B-tier game. As a result, he's constantly making fun of the other characters, plus everything happening around him. Even when he's forced to follow the plot, it's just so clear he doesn't give a shit.

It's so bad it looks self aware, and that easily makes it more enjoyable than Duke Nukem Forever (not that hard, but still).
It's a truly bizarre product, why hating it so much?
It's not like you have to pay for it.
>>
That sounds like a good way to portray him in future games.

Thanks Randy.

>>381380054
do to be honest, even in Forever, duke was a "good" character, just hearing his voice crack me up. It's just so damn good.
>>

Its not People Can Fly's fault Randy wanted to shove duke in.

>>381381054
>even in Forever, duke was a "good" character,
This, been saying that since Forever came out. Duke himself never changed, it's just the bad games he keeps getting put in.

People like big numbers.
The problem here is that the player's numbers didn't get as big and as fast as the enemies' did.

Putting duke in borderlands 3 would be the only way to get me to play that shit after the last 2.

It's still unbelievable how this 10 dollar DLC doesn't even add Duke themed weapon skins, or anything else.

>>
>>381380054
None of the characters call him Duke. Duke acts like he's know these people forever. He reuses the generic grunts from the normal character.

OP's post is fake as fuck and likely an actual, legitimate shill.
>>
>>381380054
> Bulletstorm
> generic
> poor quality

Bulletstorm is unironically one of the best 7th gen first person shooters. Fast gameplay, fun weapons with alt fire and the skillshot system was fantastic and I can't believe no one has copied it's XP system. A major problem devs have is making fancy and complicated gameplay but players ignore it in favour of being boring (see: Vanquish). Bulletstorm forced people to try have fun so they could afford new weapons and stuff, and seeing the screen full of points is super satisfying.
>>
I thought Bulletstorm was pretty enjoyable, and the linear levels lended themselves well to a more fast-paced, arcadish style. The weapon variety was fucking great too and even multiplayer turned out surprisingly decent with how team-oriented it was.
>>
>>381384710
My only issue with it was the fact that you could only carry 3 weapons at once.
>>
>>381384710
Most of the levels had to boil down to seas of chest high concrete walls, mostly because the game forced a health regen system in. I'd enjoy Bulletstorm far more if it just had a health and armor system.

>>381384887
That was my biggest gripe as well. Why couldn't we just hold all our weapons as we got them?


I actually think the next Borderlands should steal ideas from Bulletstorm, XP earning should come from playing well, and you could easily combine the skill trees and buffs of Borderlands with Bulletstorm stuff really well.
>>
>>381380054
fun, and makes a good argument. Bummer i wont buy it, or is it a free update?

Remember that game demo they put out as an ad for Bulletstorm that was just a parody of Call of Duty?
>>

And yet Bulletstorm played almost exactly like it, down to the BLOODY SCREEN SO REAL.

Clearly fake guns, and following the personal beliefs of people involved can lead one to easy conclusions.

Speaking of, why does nobody ever mentioned the 3rd Person Duke Titles? Time to Kill for the PS1 was an extremely good Tomb Raider Clone.

They don't because Duke Nukem 3D was on another level.

Zero Hour was great too. Now Land of the Babes, that was shit.

>>381389267
Yeah, but Time to Kill and Manhattan Project were better than Duke Nukem Forever.
>>
>>381389837
They both were, not going to hear me argue, but Forever also had a 15 year history to build hype.

Zero Hour is the best.

Even without the hype it's bland and mediocre at best. DNF is not "bad" in terms of unplayable, it's just so painfully average in every way and have zero memorable things. It wouldn't be better without the expectations.

It's definitely a 7th gen shooter and carries a lot of the common tropes and mechanics with it but it has a unique flair to it.
The focus on environmental interaction and the over the top weaponry and the light hearted, vulgar tone make it stand out from your typical military or spess mahreen shootan of the era.

Torgue would have some lame line about hating Duke for his treatment of women or something.
