Duke nukem: World Tour (2016)

[eziojensenthe3rd]

Midnight Gaming: All outta gum

So last night I played Duke Nukem 3d past midnight, checked socials later and found... the skyrim mod Skyblivion presents the work they've done so for.

In one of the levels within episode 3, you can approach a building that explodes in an impressive shower of build engine glory. On it, a sign that reads "Quake Warning", prompts Duke to say the following.

"I aint afraid of no quake"

This line being in reference to id's Quake which would be releasing near Duke 3D's release and for the time, would be heralded as a big step forward for video game graphics and its engine innovations would be the groundwork for games in the future. Any other game, would've been mocked for a jab like that. Such a cocky, pretentious, petty taunt would be lauded as a meme if it were said nowadays. For a game that looks comparatively outdated when placed next to Quake, it had some balls to act defiant against its competitior.

And Duke Nukem 3d had balls indeed. Balls of steel because the game slaps. It slaps hard.

Dukes world of red light sleaze and gritty action hero gruff was a cornerstone of the build engine trilogy, that built their legacy around the theme of cheesy exploitation movies, with shadow warrior covering martial arts kung fu movies and blood invoking the gothic horror films. Redneck Rampage only barely counts in this example.

The weapon roster demonstrates a geniune display of its main characters attitude with punchy ballistics, charged energetics and bombastic explosives, rendering any alien foe that graces your path into another statistic to be included in the end of level bodycount.

The levels in duke nukem 3d charmed a lot of folks with level enviroments that had some interactive elements to them. The toxic dump level in episode 1, to name an example, has that area with the conveyor belts and the crane moving objects, enemies that you killed on those belts would have their bodies carried by the belts before being picked up and dropped onto a different track to continue their journey. Going around and getting lifted up from one place to the next, each stop being dropped and hitting the ground with a wet squelch, like the worlds most morbid crane game. Not just window dressing to act as the background for your crusade, a lot of levels had some objects that the player could use, some of them awarding the player for their curiosity. Cracks in the walls necessitating an explosive to open up shortcuts in the level and some secrets hiding caches of ammo and health. You could even use a toilet for duke to relive himself and even recover some health for the act.

The game was great sure, but theres one aspect I really didnt like and it was that you couldnt save the babes. Women who were kidnapped and strung up in cocoons by the alien menace, begging you to kill them. You could save them in the n64 port but originally? Nah, you gotta leave them behind or perhaps comply with their request. And that sucks, Duke would never leave them behind. Heck he swears vengeance on the alien invaders for kidnapping them, he wouldnt leave a babe behind. Course what Duke is or does has been a matter of debate amongst the modern audience...

The Duke has had a rocky time since Duke 3d, with following games not meeting the height of 3d's success and with Forever going down as a tale of waiting for over a decade just to be presented with a wet fart. The character of Duke Nukem has been scrutinised and picked apart until it became disregarded as "a product of its time" and nothing more.... until nowadays at least. The internet has certanly turned Duke from an expy of every 90's action hero to funny meme guy, a change that is promoted heavily thanks to voice actor Gianni Matragrano's shitpost videos that features the duki nuki man himself.

The version of Duke Nukem 3d I played was the Megaton Edition that was once sold on steam before a certain randy delisted it in favour of a different version titled world tour. And world tour wasn't much of an improvement over megaton, mainly because while the new episode was neat, it didnt have any of the expansions that were available. No duke it out in DC, no Caribbean, not even the christmas one. That kinda sucks. I hope the duke manages to escape the randy pit and gets another game, one that takes inspiration from the memes and shitposts in the same way Doom took inspiration from brutal doom and the rip and tear meme.

Anyways, news. You played Skyrim I am assuming. Why wouldnt I, its been released to several platforms and will only stop being rereleased when elder scrolls 6 comes out. But until that time, lets discuss the game that came before Skyrim, Oblivion.

Oblivions been my first Elder Scrolls game and I enjoyed it for what it was, a neat lil open world fantasy rpg that young me mainly played with the tgm cheat to activate god mode. So far, bethesda hasnt tried to remaster the older elder scrolls games (thank goodness) though fans have been working on mods that recreate those older entries within Skyrim. Skywind is one example that rebuilds Morrowind within Skyrim and it seems to be making decent progress, though the one i'm gonna talk about today is Skyblivion.

Recently, Skyblivions development team has released a video preview of the work they've accomplished, focusing mainly on the town of chorrol and a couple of quests. Its looking pretty damn good and I hope to able to play it around the 2025 release date. Assuming bethesda doesnt "update" oblivion and end up completly breaking a lot of mods, which is partly the reason why the fallout 4 mod, fallout london, requires you to downgrade to an older version. We shall wait and see.

Anyways, see you all tomorrow. Feel free to leave game suggestions and feedback. Anons are currently on.

[busyfish]

it sort of blows my mind (i mean not literally it's just sort of me being really jaded) that fan made ports of games like duke3D and Doom are like far superior than the completely cursed "retail" versions on steam by like Bethesda and Gearbox. The Bethesda Unity port is actually like fine in comparion to the absolutely awful Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary World Tour edition of the game.

like the old xbla versions that got me into those games were waaaaaay better too. Is this a current thing where these companies are just doing bare minimum now to hold on to IPs or like what the heck? I was for some reason compelled to try to play this Duke 3D world tour edition tonight and it just really sucks.

it's so floaty and the audio is garbage and things like secret flagging and opening doors with keys and stuff just plain don't work sometimes???

how on earth did this get released and WHY was it going for like $20???

iirc i did *not* pay for this version of the game and holy if i did sooooo shame on me because it's a total scam.

Nightdive right now is like the only company i sort of trust with these ports now. (Quake is really good and i hear Quake 2 is too)

And even then, Atari was like causing all sorts of issues with their version of Blood for a while and they weren't allowed to work on it, after releasing it in a kind of poor state.

even though i hated it, the shadow warrior classic redux was something that grew on me too but that's also a small company so i kind of get it. but it's not nearly as awful as GEARBOX a huge company just releasing a $20 pos version of Duke 3D.

anyway yeah weird long rant for no reason i guess.

i'm just mad at capitalism and just video games in general just being bad and not fun for the most part these days.

[unit-id-k725]

help me but a game

apparentpy, Xbox gave me $5 to work with to celebrate an end of the year sale, and as far as I can tell. Shit's legit.

Problem is, there are a few games I would consider buying, two of which are big must play before I die games, 1 of them is a franchise I care about, but am not sure I'd enjoy. One of them is supposed to be the best game in a franchise I enjoy, but I've never been really able to get into it as much as most people.

And two of them are kinda filler items I chucked in because I think hear people say they're good, and was like "fuck it, why not"

also killing Floor 2 because I'm 99% sure there's at least one British guy if not more, and I think he talg funee.

And since I'm an indecisive wreck, I thought I'd leave the choice up to Tumblr.

Go nuts

[the-firebird69]
