Let's get back on topic, alright? Check out my "minimal ego" run of the game.

COWABUNGA

I hate my horrible sleep schedule. My current is sleep from 10 to 12, stay up till 8 AM than go to bed till 4 PM.

I've had that sleep schedule as well. I end up feeling tired constantly when I try to go back to sleeping from 10 PM to 7 AM.

Waiting for my mom to pick me up. Having dinner at her place.

I'm cancer and I'm not really angry ALL the time.

Rendering my minimal ego run of DNF. It'll be up on YouTube by tomorrow.

I prefer anime really, but there's a lot of Western animation that is great, like the Disney movies.

Lying in bed for hours getting up twice going on the computer. When in bed lifting head and banging it with a horrible feeling not knowing what to do and how I'm going to continue. Thinking about others feelings if I do anything, and I mean anything.

 

Where's the off-switch on this shit? It's been like this for years now. Getting worse every day. :@

Me too. Wish sometimes I could just turn my brain off.

So have you gotten the results yet?

Results? *scratches head*

Edit: Here is part 1 of my minimal ego run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCJ6iSAijPo

There are no good or bad games in my opinion. Whether a game is enjoyable or not is entirely subjective. That's why it angers me when people say Duke Nukem Forever is a disappointment to everyone and those who actually enjoy it needs to get their brains checked.

Hehe, 10 times was just a manner of speech. But anyway, my main point is that whether a game is bad or good is highly subjective.

Pytt i panne.

Yeah, he still manages to make my skin crawl.

Yeah, perhaps ripoff is a bit of a strong word to use. I am just so much of a Duke fan that I tend to get a bit frustrated with all the criticism DNF gets, especially when compared to other games. Seriously, am I the only person on the whole planet who loves the game? Like, I don't think it's just an okay shooter, I think it's a great game worthy of a GOTY award.

Let me adress the issues:

1. Bad graphics: Seriously, when was graphics the focal point of gaming? Just because a game is "ugly" subjectively by some people doesn't make it bad. The slow graphic loading also happens a lot in other games like Fallout 3, Bulletstorm and other Unreal 3 engine games, but that doesn't make them bad games either.

2. Stiff controls: Never noticed stiff controls in the game myself. Simply changing the mouse precision fixed it.

3. Weapon limit: Never was a problem and in my opinion balanced the game more between realism and fantasy. Besides, there are always plenty of weapons lying around to switch with so it's NEVER a real problem. Anyone bitching about this should play the game some more. Besides, the limit has been raised now, at least on the PC version.

4. Regenerating health: So it's okay to have this in Halo but not in DNF? Why? Is it such a huge problem? Once you get used to it, it seems natural.

5. Bad story: Oh yeah, good story is SO necessary for a good game. Seriously, grow up and play some Doom.

6. Bad humor: This is extremely subjective. Whether the game is funny or not depends on the person. I find it hilarious personally just because of how raunchy it is. You just don't see this kind of humor often since Conker's Bad Fur Day maybe.

7. Misoginy: While I admit the game sexualizes and objectifies women, this game is a fantasy. It's not real life. It's an adult game meant for adult people who realizes this is not supposed to be real. In other words, if you complain about it, grow up. Besides, this is totally in style with Duke Nukem. Complaining about Duke Nukem being misogynistic is like complaining about Grand Theft Auto being violent.

8. Bad and boring level design: Mhm. If having each level have its own character is bad level design then I feel bad for today's industry. There are tons of ideas in this game and you can notice new details each time you are playing it.

9. No replay value: I've played the single player campaign 10 times now and I still want to replay the game. Not to mention the search for achievements is fun.

10. Bad multiplayer: Whenever I start a server I have it full in 10 minutes. If that's an indication of bad multiplayer then I have no idea what good is.

Bottom line: Most of the criticism is directed towards the horrid XBox 360 and PS3 ports of the game, leading it towards the game itself. This game was meant for PC obviously, and I will always defend the PC version. Despite all the "flaws" in this game, it's the most fun game I've ever played.

Yet I find more enjoyment in Duke Nukem than I find in most other games, which just proves that it's subjective what art is. In the end there is no right answer.

I noticed DNF has a FXAA option but it never seemed to do much difference for me.

Wait a minute, we're staying on topic.

This needs to change.

GET OFF TOPIC NOW!

If only I had more money...

Oh I'd love to join! I'm using DarkPlaces engine for Quake 1 and KMQuakeII for Q2.

Was that a "YAY! " sort of giigle, a "ha ha " sort of giggle, or a "interesting... " sort of giggle?

More like a "why on earth would you test FXAA on DOSBox" sort of giggle.

Ah, right... XD

Eh, I think both games are equal in their own ways.

is there a way to set up that code that allows posting the vid here instead of just link? that would be useful!

Not at the moment. Maybe suggest it in the Misc AF forum.

I giggled when I saw FXAA on DOSBox.

Around this part, trance started becoming mainstream, meaning people like me got more introduced to it.

At this point I don't think I even need to say what the last game I played was.
