Punisher5.0 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I picked this up for $5 on the eshop. Its very well done and has no censorship! If they come out with a physical version I'm definitely getting a copy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digdugnate Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Yes- it struck me immediately how much worse I am at it than 25 years ago, lol. This Old Digdug immediately looked up the cheat menu.

roots.genoa Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I know it should be a no-brainer at that price, but I'm still on the fence. Contrary to a common friend (honk honk), I really hate having countless games on my backlog and I try to beat every game I own. I bought both Doom games, but only played the first one I didn't know as well as the second; I liked the first chapter, but in the end it was quite tedious and I don't really want to touch the extra levels... ? Back in the days, I enjoyed the first few levels of Duke Nukem 3D and it was one my first LAN experiences, but I definitely prefer more subtle FPS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I found my original CD a few months ago. Just for lols I fired up DOSbox and installed it. The game pre-dates “modern” FPS games that have more or less standardized on WASD for movement + mouse aiming. So it’s kind of a PITA to play again for someone who has played modern games for decades now. The “obsolete” control scheme really detracts from the fun for me. But it’s still an amusing blast from the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGrafx-16 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 It has WASD... you just have to set it up and have mouse look be always on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the World Tour version replaced the red crosses on the medkits with pills? (Seems more apporiate for the 'roid scarfing Dukester...)

Tanooki Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 At $5 it's kind of tempting, but to be fair, so is Doom 64 and in both cases I have pure original copies or updated copies already so it's less tempting enough still to not buy them. There's Doom64 EX and my original cart, and then there's Duke32 and my original DOS CD of it along with a GoG copy too. Doom when I sprung for that and #2 were like a $1.50 sale day and I do like to far more often fire them up for random abuse so that's the only reason they exist.

DragonGrafx-16 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) The new Doom 64 port has a new episode... it's why I bought it to play rather than stick with Doom 64 EX. Edited June 28, 2020 by DragonGrafx-16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witcher 3, StarLink, and Mario/Rabbids I think are the main ones that I haven't managed to finish yet.. probably because I get distracted by games like Duke Nukem, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xabin Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I managed to get the Megaton edition and the World Tour version, back when they were available. I think the latter is still available, but the former isn't, due to legal issues. I also got an android app for the game, but because of the same legal issues, it was discontinued before I could unlock the other chapters in it, and my tablet is proving stubborn to root, so I could hack them in.

Asaki Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Which Duke Nukem? There are so many! I beat the second game back in the day, liked it a lot...the first game is fun too, but I only got about halfway through it. Need to get back into that one, would be fun as a handheld game. Was just playing 3D a few months ago, on a real DOS machine with fancy Yamaha MIDI. I still think the shareware episode is the best one...I was just starting the final (Atomic) episode when I got distracted by Dark Forces (also with fancy Yamaha MIDI). I played the demo of Forever and thought it was fine, but I remember it had some kind of "console to PC port" issues where mouse movement was all broken. Hopefully someone has fixed it since then. Never really played any of the numerous spinoffs, but GameBoy Color had a cool one that was kind of a remix of DN2.

You do know that nobody will come knocking at your door with a warrant if you change Duke Nukem 3D's control scheme to WASD, right?? 2 hours ago, xabin said: I managed to get the Megaton edition and the World Tour version, back when they were available.

Well d'uh. But I also know I played the shit out of the game 20-odd years ago and I've got plenty of other more-current things to play that don't require me to remap all the controls to enjoy. tl;dr - younger me played and beat the game decades ago. I just installed it for a laugh to see if I could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm pretty sure it's legal issues with the licensing; it keeps switching hands and developers so many times, that it's impossible to really tell who has it, at any given time.

Video Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Classic dn3d? I'd totally play that, I might even buy it if it got a physical release. I've got enough duke 3d though, and it's hard to beat the pc original. The remake was pretty good though, got it for ps4, but I don't see it getting a cart release for switch. Love that it has modern control scheme, and you can play with the old, or updated graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
