Im actually expecting to be disappointed, but hopefully Ill be surprised.

The games industry much like films has turned far too Hollywood, I can see this being soft as sh*te.

"Im looking for an alien toilet to park my bricks"

is hardly akin to the likes of

"Ill rip your head off and sh*t down your neck"

 :disappointed: I hope some good in-game footage appears soon.

Well.. That was one of the worst trailors ever.

I very much doubt Ill be buying this game.. It was good and cheesy but cool back in day with the bad graphics.. But its not serious enough to be seen as some "epic game against aliens"..

When it comes to epic seriousness.. Hes no Master Chief.

The latter quote has far less impact because its playground language. The "sh*t" is completely unnecessary (unless youre eight) and falls flat. It is crass and thoughtless.

But "looking for and alien toilet to park my bricks" has greater subtlety and thus greater impact, and you know the MC is only warming up.

Master Chef is cool because they spent yen $3000 million dollars francs telling you he was cool.

This here is a legend. A mythical figure who can chill with a cigar while it kicks off all around without saying sh*t. Waiting. Waiting for that cigar to blunt and then BOOM! The baddies get owned*.


* In 2043 AD

Not when the following cut scene is him actually commiting to said act 8-)  :mrgreen: Class, with a cigar.

they are after the maximum amount of publicity.  They cant use the word "sh*t" in some countries as its a "Banned" word.  

Itll still be nicely obscene no doubt.

Clockd is still right, in this case ;)

Duke Nukem was never intended to be part of the intelligencia and should have all the subtlety of a nail bomb going off.

Master chief my arse! If he was 10% as cool as Duke Halo 2 might not have sucked. Besides we all know Freeman would have pwned them all!  :D

I think your right though - this has been too long in the making and itll be a miracle if it doesnt disappoint. I really, really, REALLY want it to be good - Duke 3D was one of my favourite games ever but this should have been released YEARS ago...

At the time I was playing the original Duke Nukem I would often forget lunch completely and have to be reminded by someone to go and eat! I was a workaholic, like my older brothers.

Now I have more problems than enough. It isnt that I dont want to work, the issue is will someone actually employ me in a 9-5 kind of job and can I do it. ATM the answer to both is no.
