Please Don't Kill Me, Please?

There once was a brave hero tasked with saving the world. He was quite quirky and had one of the foulest mouths in the world. In addition to his foul-mouth he was one of the biggest pervs ever to walk the earth. This hero was named Duke Nukem.

He made his first appearance in the 1991 game Duke Nukem. he made two more appearances in Duke Nukem 2 and Duke Nukem 3D. However, there has been one more game released as of late. This game has been ridiculed and called one of the worst games of all time. That game is Duke Nukem Forever.

I will openly admit that I have never played Duke Nukem Forever. However I do know a number of people that have played the game so I have assembled the info that i have gained from them for this piece.

One of the contributing factors to Duke Nukem being so badly reviewed was because of the history behind it. Duke Nukem Forever was stuck in development for almost 12 years before finally being released.

When it was released there were a lot of problems with it. The controls were sadly not the best and, at times, were degraded to a basic rail-shooter which wasn't what made Duke Nukem so appealing in the 90's. Many fans of the series have admitted that they were less than impressed with Duke Nukem Forever. One of the contributing factors to the disappointment was that with all the time it took for the game to be developed everyone was getting worked up, expecting the next big leap forward for the industry.

Just like Duke Nukem, I have taken to long to update the blog. Unlike Duke Nukem, I will not deliver mediocre content to consumers of this blog. However it will be harder for me to update And I will only be releasing content over the weekends due to a busy weekday schedule. Thank you for your continued support and please, Don't kill me.
