True words Paolo. 3DRealms should sell their remaining assets and gtfo to do something useful.

How about no

Even Penis Guillotines?

I haven't found a volunteer willing to test my prototype anyway.

Best used as a corporal punishment device; useful in Saudi prisons for serial rapists

Plenty of people were all fired up for Daikatana as well I recall, but when the reviews came in and it was clear it was a turd of the highest proportions all that enthusiasm rapidly evaporated. People aren't going to put down $50-$60 on a game unless it reviews well and from what I've seen I don't think DNF would review that well. It might tick all the boxes for an on rails shooter, but unless there's some unseen innovation in there it's unlikely to break the magic 90% that is OMG gold. 70 - 80 % tops assuming the plot's good, etc, etc. There's a big difference between selling a million units in the first week of release and selling a million units over six months from the bargain bins. DNF has 'I'll wait till a price drop' written all over it.

I dunno, as I recall Assassins Creed got lukewarm reviews and still sold pretty well...

Yeah but the marketing and hype behind AC was ****ing immense though and it still wasn't a total failure like daikatana was (I liked AC)

 

[CyberPitz]

If DNF was on the shelves, I'd buy it up pretty damned quick.

 

[Asuka]

Id buy it just to buy it, **** it being good they could have sold millions just because of the situation.. You know what thats exactly whats going to end up happening too.

The same Brossard who went cap in hand to Gabe Newell, John Carmack and Cliffy B pandhandling and came away empty handed?

Those litigating infidels have no effect on the great rule of Duke Nukem Forever. The title is safe and is nearing completion at this moment within our walls!

"You can kill us, set us on fire, skin us, beat us and rape us, but you can never stop Duke Nukem Forever. You can drown us in shitty games with emo mutes that trapse around not having sex with anything or even being ballsy enough to saw anything or flood us with generic suit wearing gimps that fight partially inflated trash bags on mars and we will never stop. Duke Nukem Forever is coming. Mortal men may not craft him, gods might not live long enough to play him, the very universe itself may fold under his might, but he will come and there will not be a toilet big enough to park his bricks in.

You can all dance around in your ignorance, your pithy idea that mere financial mechanisms of mere men can stop him. That simply because nobody is there to craft the one true creator, the he cannot rise from his own rest is reason to assume he will never return is pure lunacy. Duke Nukem Forever is Forever. He is before, he is after and he is during, forever. Mock all you want, you could never really grasp the idea of what forever is, let along what duke himself is and you never will." - AxeManiac 5: 18

Good ol' Duke did a fine job of stopping himself. HAR HAR HAR

Hehehe. It apparently was made by someone on Something Awful forums. I saw it at RPS and though..oh yes that is what this thread is missing.

Now remember "That simply because nobody is there to craft the one true creator, the he cannot rise from his own rest is reason to assume he will never return is pure lunacy. Duke Nukem Forever is Forever. He is before, he is after and he is during, forever. Mock all you want, you could never really grasp the idea of what forever is, let along what duke himself is and you never will."

Did you notice the mantra on the title of the video?
"cxiam veti sur Duke" ... turns out it's Esperanto.
I'll give you a hint: veti=Bet
