Duke Nukem Forever: How i Learned to Stop Complaining and Enjoy a Good Game!

Well everyone hell has officially froze over but not because Duke Nukem has finally made his return to our gaming consoles but because he kicked the devil in the balls and told him to crank the AC in that mutha. But has the wait actually been worth it? From what I hear from most critics and reviewers the answer is a unanimous NO. Well folks I beg to differ and granted it may not be everyones cup of tea but Duke is just as great as I remember.

A lot of people for starters are complaining that the jokes in the game are really outdated and not funny. The thing is Duke is a bit of a kickback to a great age of action heros like John McClane and The Terminator. He doesn't ask questions or try to reason with the enemy he just shoots first but Duke doesn't need ask later. That is what we loved about Duke back then and it hasn't changed. He is nostalgia for our generation therefore him using jokes from the movie "300" is not a bad thing. The same people complaining are probably sitting at their computers right now on a Duke Nukem Forever soundboard laughing at the playing the same line 20 times over. I just hope it is the one taking a cheap shot at Master Chief ha ha.

Another thing is that I hear is its not that great of a first person shooter which is absolutely ridiculous seeing how it works of the same aspects of an FPS as all the others. Call of Duty, Halo, and Duke Nukem...they both are from the perspective of the main character, they both allow you to carry only up to two weapons at the same time, grenades, and blah blah blah. They are practically identical and its not like the graphics are terrible, they look pretty good all around. For those with the Duke on those wacky home consoles they load times can be a bit tedious. I agree with that but not as hardcore as everyone else, yeah i can get up and go get a drink or something before its done loading but hey i don't consider that an issue. I see it as more of a tiny break.

The last thing is I hear the game is a bit too raunchy but i don't really need to go off on a tangent in this explanation. The game was not deemed that raunchy by the mass populous of gamers who played it back in the 90's. Yes you can pee and throw poop and punch giant monsters in the testicles like it is a punching bag but it was still fun. If you want to jump on a game for being to raunchy and gross jump on postal when they release another one but to be fair Duke is not that bad.

So basically what i have just spent the last 30 mins of time doing is trying to tell you guys who keep riding Duke Nukem to just relax. The main purpose behind games is to take us somewhere else and give us a break from school, work, and real life. Duke does a great job of that and makes people laugh so just take a step off your high horse. Duke has returned from a long hiatus and he is still ready to kick ass and chew bubblegum so just have fun with it and don't be so critical. Just have fun!
