| 19 | 2761 |
Many have seen them. Many of us have played them. For years games have been created for our entertainment and many have come to our expectations. However,Time after time we see games that are just plain bad. We axpect them to be good since many of the previous games that the newer games have spawned from were the best we had ever played. But Games have sometimes failed our expectations. These game creators seem to make horrible choices when their games get so popular. There are many games that did not come to your expectations from Unreal flash to the one of the most recent games Mass effect 3 which we did not get to make our own choices at the end. These games took away some things and added other things we did not like. We get prommosed better weapons and graphics for the new unreal flash, but everything was worse than the previous game.
I have brought this up because I believe we should talk about what games have failed and what we would change in that certain game. We're gamers and we ought to have a say at what we want and what we don't want in a game and that these game creators, designers, nerds or whatever you call them, need to live up to what they have promised the gaming community.

They weren't working full steam, but they were working on it the whole time. They went through countless engine changes that forced them to start over time and time again though.
It was a little less than 12 it what i was mainly trying to say. Unless you start at the last good duke Nuukem game(DN3D) then it was almost 20 years which is ridiculous but they had some other games and a few spin offs that were between 2000-2006 so it wasn't too bad. Plus Duke Nukem Forever was supposed to be a good game but 3D realms failed and Take-two (2k) sued them and got the Duke Nukem Franchise then the took what they had and Gearbox and made what they could. It wasn't that bad of a game considering they were just trying to make back what ever money they could off of it. But they made such a good net-profit that they began to make DLC and have more support for the game. Most people that played the game were probably new to Duke Nukem. The fans probably felt obligated to get the game. I was around when Duke Nukem 3D came out and it was a real hit. It was probably the best game I ever played at the time.
The Arcade games weren't so bad either
Halo Reach. The forge world sucks. It wasn't a huge let down because the multiplayer was good, but anytime I want to grab some buds and play Halo, we go with Halo 3 because of the fantastic custom games.
The thing with duke nukem is there is spartan (halo) armor and duke goess "space army is for Pussies cat (minus cat" While halo made a multi million dollar game industry in like half the time it too to make duke nukem. Thus, I was thrown off and gave the game toa friend
He also says that crap back in duke Nukem 3D so it isn't really a new thing. You just wouldn't know that because you are probably young. I think he was making fun of Doom back in the day. Except I think he says thats one Doomed space Marine (making fun of Doom).
Besides the thing with games is that they can always do pretty much whatever they want. They can make fun of what they want and no one will stop them. And besides the way you talk about it sounds like it was actually very funny. I'm not saying that I don't like Halo but its fun when people poke fun at it. It really doesn't matter its not like Microsoft is Going to Sue 2k and Gearbox.
That would just make them lame and in bad faith. And besides Gearbox developed the first Halo anyway so in a sense they are making fun of their own game. Besides what you are talking about and other easter egg types of things could actually be showing respect.
Think about it this way. If the game (Halo) is so popular that Duke Nukem would criticize it then it must be a good game.
And as far as I am concerned Duke Nukem has been around way longer and was one of the many games that lead to create games like Halo.
Also some things you might want to note that a found on a website
The control layouts' names on the Xbox 360 version are references to other popular FPS games. For example, MC stands for Master Chief, and its button layout replicates Halo 3's default control scheme. The other layouts are Freeman, which replicates Half-Life 2's controls; and Duty Calls, which replicates Call of Duty's.
So there you have it

Duke Nukem was huge back in the 90's, had Duke Nukem Forever been the game it was supposed to be it would have dwarfed Halo. Just think about it, Duke had fans for 16 years without a new game, Halo is already falling out of the public eye.
