    How long did it take you?

    Not quite sure, I think the Steam tracker is kinda off. But 6-8 hours maybe. If you include ragequits into that it's more like 10 hours.

    I like how there's no word on a public demo release...

    Being all too familiar with the kind of negative reactions you always get after a game's been hyped up the arse I'm not getting too into the quality of the game as I want to try it before doing so, but this just isn't cool:

    Quote

    One level in particular takes place in an alien nest where Earth's women are being inseminated by giant penises. The women writhe and moan in a fairly humiliating fashion, and they regularly sob with no small amount of implied misery. In essence, the women look like they're getting raped. In fact, they are. That's the big joke of the level. The aliens are raping the women to create babies. Now, I'm a fan of offensive humor, but the "joke" in this level is so morbidly presented, so dark and downright unsettling, that I simply do not know if Gearbox intends for us to laugh or to throw up. I certainly found I was in danger of doing the latter over the former.By the time Duke Nukem finally makes a "You're fucked," joke, which he makes in front of two girls who are about to die in the process of getting sexually assaulted, Duke does not come across as cool, witty or likable in the least. He comes across as a vile, callous, thoroughly detestable psychopath.

    It's not impossible to make an alien rape joke amusing if you're clever enough, but the fact that nobody making this game actually bothered to try is what really concerns me. According to Gearbox, seeing women tortured was funny enough. According to common sense, it really, really wasn't.

    The fuck were they on while making this game? Hopefully this was 3D Realms' idea of humour and not Gearbox's.

    I looked up the level to see what all the fuse way about. Its really tame, not half as bad as what he mentions in that quote. What a pussy. He should stick to writing Christian novels.

    The level looks like dark 'ass' though.

    Interesting, it's not like Jim to misrepresent something for sensationalist journalism.

    Most of the game is really dark, shadows have no color and there isn't any radiosity, so you're wandering around in nightvision mode quite often. Which is too bad, because it activates a light from the character, which blooms out the entire screen if you get close to objects. Then you have to wait for the bloom to reset.

    edit: here are some screenshots I took, they're from quite early on in the game. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7656 ... reenshots/

    wow that's very disrespectful. I hope the games press picks up on that in fact.

    They only used the uniform and gun from what i can see... the face was changed, so were the hands. Doesn't really resemble the guy anymore, also, that's a Canadian soldier. In DNF? Whyyyy?

    and putting a photograph of a dead man while he was alive in a video game is disrespectful how exactly?
