IGN criticised lack of iron sights in Duke Nukem? Jesus Christ.EmCeeGramr said:Ugh. Not every game needs a feature where you slow down your movement and aiming speed to shoot more accurately.
I find your choice of shots amusing since Gamespy had a hard-on for Duke Nukem Forever for years.Shiggy said:screenshots

Parallax Scroll said:If there was ever a game that needs a making-of DVD, this is it. I would buy an overpriced special edition of the game if it came with that.

One of the first things you get to do is jump up and down in front of a mirror. "Look at my ass," says Duke. "LOOK AT IT."
in 2011 the gaming press imo is at an all time lowSn4ke_911 said:
But what really hooks me is how the game's silly premise, over-the-top character, absurd one-liners and jokes, start to make me act just as silly in the game.
For instance, I find myself muttering my own stupid one-liners when I take out a group of pig aliens. I inexplicably take great joy in tossing trash cans at the general when he finally stops by to admit his mistake. Not one or two times, but throughout his speech. Trash can to the face. Trash can to the face. Trash can to the face. I don't even mind that he doesn't seem to notice.
I giggle a lot, mostly to myself, at the humor which has somehow unlocked some inner... man-child I didn't even know existed.
By the time I get to the game's final demo level, Vegas in Ruin, I am thoroughly enjoying myself, no longer worrying about the lack of character depth, sensible story or a single map not turned into a rat maze of absurdly placed debris.
I laugh, genuinely laugh, at the Halo joke.
And when my time with Duke Nukem ends with a scene involving testicular punches, I genuinely wish I could keep playing.

I really hope it's mostly people too young to remember the Duke.Sciz said:The gist I get from those writeups is that Duke Nukem still plays like Duke Nukem. The fact that some of them are bemoaning that really makes me weep for the state of the industry.
Not enough beards.The_Technomancer said:So I don't follow modern shooter design much. Outside of the graphics, what about the DNF gameplay do previewers seem to be deriding as poor/out of date?
IGN said:And as a reminder of how dated shooting scenes like this are, when I used zoom to target an alien that came to a brief pause above me, no ironsights appeared whatsoever. The camera just zoomed in a little. How useful is that? The reason almost every shooter now uses ironsights is because it genuinely helps line up a good shot. That's a perfect example of a strange exclusion of post-1997 innovations.
Not enough dudes hiding behind walls, throwing grenades and smoke to make your vision go blurry and cover your eyes in strawberry jam, no iron sights or grenade button, no walking up to a room, peeking out behind cover, and getting headshots.The_Technomancer said:So I don't follow modern shooter design much.

I say this as someone who's primary shooter experience is Metroid Prime and the Orange Box.
Well, I think summing up isn't allowed, but everyone should read this article. The lead developer is quoted as moving away from big set pieces of CoD and Halo, and the reviewer really doesn't like the fact that there aren't iron sights.IGN Preview
So this game gets a pass on being dated just because of its development process?thehillissilent said:It's almost if I can see the negative reviews now. The previews don't seem all that favorable toward the game. It's as if they forgot this game was in development hell for 13 years and would retain a lot of features of PC FPS from yesteryear.
