    preordering duke nukem forever? steam just happens to be offering it on their main page. the point is preordering DNF is a bad idea.

    I dont know if you haven't been following the news or if I'm getting trolled.

    just take a quick look at the developer and publisher list for the game. notice that it is much longer than normal. hah.

    Oh, well this time around, the game IS finished. I know the history quite well, lol. Looking forward to it. Unless it's full of bugs, I know I'll play it all the way through, just because it's been so long coming. Would be great if they remade the original using the new engine though. I'm sure that won't happen!

    I tihnk they may be rushing Duke Nukem, in my opinion it needs another few years in development, maybe an update to the game engine :p

    Muhahah

    PS. Realisticly though, I think I will sit on the fence for this one. Im not expecting much from this game, Im expecting it to be a 'cash in quick' job, but will gladly be proved wrong :D

    Personally I would enjoy a shooter in the old school run and gun vein instead of another call of duty knock off assuming it doesn't suck for what it is... I enjoyed the original rather better than quake and other contemporaries and I hope for a fun trip down memory lane.

    While I do not have very high expectations for now, Gearbox has produced some decent stuff, such as Borderlands.

    I hope Gearbox releases this sooner rather than later, they've spent alot of time in development on a game that was already almost finished, I hope it doesnt sink the dev..... Just took a look at the wiki page and Gearbox has been working on it since 09 !!!!!! Man 3 years and they still having a hard time putting this game on shelves. MGS 4 took 4 years to make and that game is a master piece, this game probably won't even amount to the polish MGS 4 has...... LOW expectations thats for sure....

    7/11 days before the game comes out.

    eh whatever.

    I know it will run on my computer since the thing only requires a 8800 GTX to max out.
