Duke Nukem Forever Demo Released
uslinux.net writes "Gearbox Software released the demo for Duke Nukem Forever today, though it's only available to preorders and other promotions for the time being. After more than a decade, it looks like this game will actually hit stores this month. After 12 years in development, will it live up to the hype?"
Included with the linked article is DNF's launch trailer. This should go without saying, but just in case: NSFW. Seriously.
The summary -- did you read it?
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
Oh wait, it was garbage compared to other games out at the time, and this one has been in development hell 3x as long.
It'll be lucky to garner a solid 70% average. While this has been in development, we got half-life 1 and 2, gears of war, several halos, freakin mass effect, Modern warfare. Hell even borderlands.
It won't be hard for this thing to exceed my expectations, because I expect it to be crap.
In other words: we're waiting for one of kind souls who preordered DNF to get off his butt and upload a torrent with the demo.
The creatures outside looked from Alt-Right to Antifa; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Here's a review showing the whole run through PC demo, including intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6MjzgTZriw
People who like this sort of sig will find this the sort of sig they like.
Who the hell only releases demo's to pre orders, maybe if they let me play the game I might pre order it but I'm not going to pre order so I can play the freaking demo. Honestly what marketing idiot thought that up. Anyone got a torrent for the demo?
Pre-ordering gives you early access to the demo. I'm sure it will be generally available after launch.
Also, limiting the demo to pre-orders means people who pre-ordered can begin to play the game before everyone else, providing additional value in pre-ordering.
