Stop basing your opinions of things based on reviews made by semi literate YouTubers from previous decades. If you go in fresh, you’ll see the music is awesome, it’s fun in parts and a bit slow in others. It’s worth a run through for 5 bucks. I finished the base game twice and played a bit of the expansion. This needs to be released with original art, interviews, history video with modern takes, etc.

I played this game quite late - 1-2 years ago, long time after its relase but man! We need more uncompromising games like this in current boring times of political correctness! I really enjoyed it despite some clunky parts, absolutely loved the humor, half-naked chicks and monster truck driving segments! It feels like Dan Bilzerian simulator. :P
My cousin and I managed to purchase the game just for the hell of it just to see what was the ending of the game. I honestly say it was a decent enough game on the Xbone 360 to go through more of it. One thing however stopped me. There was some kind of restaurant section of the game and I had shrunk down to the size of an action for some reason and I had to punch a bunch of Duke Nukem happy meal boxes to progress. I decided to stop destroying the boxes to see what it said on the happy meal boxes. It was a crossword puzzle. The words you had to find was 'blow it out your ***', and '***down your neck'. There wasn't enough words to enough fit the words on the box, yet alone find it. We never laughed harder at a Duke Nukem game in our lives. ...Yeah this game deserves to be put on GoG.

This should be on GOG, but under the condition that the 2002 build has to be released. The final product wasn't bad per say, but it was extremely disappointing after nearly 15 years of waiting. We we're promised something much bigger during the start of the millennium, and honestly based on what people say, they should show their colors more with said lost beta. I know the Restoration Project exists, but that's based on a much earlier and more incomplete build. I and many others simply curious about what was finished. And hey, maybe throw in the Quake II build and other goodies in there! Really give everyone what they want for this game's lengthy legacy.
Duke Nukem Forever is a game that built a lot of hype over the years and when it came out, it completely let down many fans including myself. Overtime, I grew more appreciation for this game with the amount of variety it offered including platforming, puzzle solving, interaction with many objects, and being able to explore around the Duke Burger tower the size of an action figure. Duke Nukem Forever may not win everyone over, but it is a love letter to those that deeply care for this character and franchise if looked at the right way. This is a piece of video game history that deserves to be preserved. I would really love to see DNF brought over to GOG DRM-Free as a part to keep Duke’s legacy alive, because Duke Nukem should always be remembered as the hero that is forever.

I am going to be brutally honest I don't think it was that bad!!! A lot of people claimed it to be among the worst games. Then your standards are rather unrealistic to the actual worst games ever!!! Sure it wasn't a decent follow up to one of the greatest FPS games of all time. Honestly this game still fun to play for hours. The first campaign in unexpected ways can be somewhat fun. It's not the greatest Duke Nukem campaign neither the worst. The DLC second campaign was among my favorite Duke Nukem campaigns ever. This is the one you can easily replay. Some of the best jokes in years as well. The multiplayer is surprisingly decent for a game of it's reception. Already a good amount of the game actually worth playing people often ignore. I can't deny this was a huge disappointment. At the same time, Duke Nukem Forever still had some fun ideas. Even if the game virtually a parody of Half-Life 2. Essentially a recreation of Half-Life 2 and it's two episodes. Which might've been the secret reason why people hated it. Duke's voice actor later done the Postal Dude in Postal 4. All of a sudden people realizing that may wanna play this game. I do think this Duke Nukem game can sell well here.

For all its flaws and given the miserable, pretty much dead state of Duke nowadays, with his ultimate outing (not counting 20th Anniversary) being a coat of paint for Bulletstorm, I still think this game deserves more love. I had pretty given up on it at all, just taking it as a sad inside joke on vidya hubris and vaporware, when I got a code for the demo oin my GotY edition of Borderlands on the 360. I played the 2 or 3 levels offered and was surprised I found them decent enough. So something clicked in me and I felt like this was gonna be a swansong. So I ordered the Balls of Steel edition on the 360 and got a free bonus t-shirt I still own (though the fabric is VERY thin and the print started wearing out quickly). And I regret nothing. This game was like an older cousin, the one who got you dirty mags and sneaked you into the theater to watch Die Hard when you were a little too young, coming around and trying to recall "the good times" while bumming you of a few bucks to take a train because "he's back on track and will make it big again". It's a cobbled together piece of vidya flotsam for sure, but I didn't hate it, I did 100% achievements on both the main game and its DLC, and I never regretted it and even played some fun casual MP. The MP is really good and fun and probably the best part, but I cant hate the main game, it's a swansong and I'll always respect it for that. I like DNF, I'll never be ashamed of admitting it, and I'll always insist it deserves preservation. Like Daikatana, like Eradicator, hell even like Tekwar, like so many janky games of the past that were important moments in vidya history. So can please someone save Duke from Gearbox and 2K, let us buy his games everywhere (while I respect Zoom Platform though) and maybe some fan projects or new games? He deserves better than being a cash shop skin in Fortnite (please tell me he isn't).

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
