Well, so I finally beat “Duke Nukem: Forever’, yes, in the difficult mode. This game took 2k Games 14 years to make. As a longtime gamer myself, I’m a huge fan of the Duke Nukem series. I’ve played all the earlier Duke Nukem games for the PC years back. They were classic games. I was very addicted to the earlier games. When I started playing this new game, I still had the addiction I had years before. Duke Nukem is that addicting!!!

On with the plot… this game is set 12 years after the events of “Duke Nukem: 3D”. Duke is now a famous celebrity. He’s rich and famous. In the opening scene of the game, Duke is set to go for an interview for his own talk show. On his way to the talk show, he learned that aliens once again has invaded, but this time they took over his home where he lives. Duke has twin sisters who are both his girlfriends, they were kidnapped by aliens and he must go and rescue them. Of course, he must destroy the aliens once and for all.

Enough with the plot. On with my thoughts of the game. When this game first came out, people gave this game mixed opinions. It’s another “love” or “hate” kind of thing. I really enjoyed the story. I thought the writing was actually pretty good. The graphics were very impressive. Much improvement on the graphics from the earlier games.

The game also had a mix of emotions. A lot of it can be funny and comical but sometimes the game can be very scary. There were some scenes in the game that kind of creeped me out a little bit, plus there is a lot of gore as well. There is also a bit of female nudity. Yes, the female characters actually showed their breasts in full bare. I thought the strip club scene was hot.

Duke Nukem says his usual comic catchphrases. They were mostly catchphrases taken from other well known movies. Some of the weapons were the same just the earlier games, but there are newer weapons too, of course. You still get the railgun and the shrink ray. Duke Nukem even shrinks himself in some scenes which I had a blast with.

Most importantly of all, the game play was just a fucking blast. The game was actually pretty long too. It was also very difficult and challenging. It took me over 20 tries to get past some parts, it was frustrating but that’s good. I like games that are really hard. I hate games that are too easy.

So was this game worth the 14 year wait? Absolutely!!!! There is going to be a sequel because the game just left open for a sequel. I hope they don’t make us wait another 14 years for the next game.

Now that I’m done with “Duke Nukem: Forever”, I will finally move on to “L.A. Noire”. “L.A. Noire” was a video game I bought several months back but never started it yet. I think I will definitely start that game next.

“Duke Nukem: Forever” was a brilliant game. Kick ass. I loved it. Good job, guys. Just a way a Duke Nukem game is supposed to be!
