I do wish they would have had more choices for cosmetic for Adam that you could spend credits on - change up his shades, jacket, etc. Pimp him out so to speak.

So, what does everyone here plan on doing when the PC dies? Slit wrist?

What do you plan on doing when it's still around more than a decade from now? Jump off bridge?

Games like these are best played on the couch with your pc hooked up to the big screen, using a 360 wireless gamepad on a PC running 1080, or more if your rig can handle it.

:-like-:
Yep, the "you play on consoles because you want to game on the couch" argument is really outdated. You can do that with your PC's, folks.

Trade ins?

When they're still trying to figure out that I want to be able to gift all extra copies of a game I own, not just selective extra copies?

Or that it makes no sense that I have to re-confirm my age to view a screenshot of a game I already own, but the program has no problem giving automatic access to my credit cards for any purchases with two clicks?
A stranger can purchase thousands of games, but I can't view a screenshot?
Wishing Gabe wasn't playing stupid with the question,

I don't have a controller to plug into my PC but I have an Xbox? I know, that's just crazy talk.

It is crazy talk, frankly. Get a controller for your PC and play games like this with it but at much higher resolutions and framerates with better graphics and possible tweaks and mods. If you're here I assume you are a PC gamer, so there's really no reason to play vastly inferior versions of games like this just because you don't have a controller.

I agree. It did. But it also felt to me like a console game and would play better on a console. I'll probably be getting it for my 360 this time around. Either way, looks like another fantastic game.

I don't understand this comment. If you mean it would play better with a controller then just plug a controller into your PC.

Playing on the console like the previous game - no biggie here.

The original had an amazingly well done PC version.

I think someone is missing one of the entire founding points of Duke. Part of what *SHOULD* be the appeal of the game is it's horrible over-the-topness and unapologetic juvenile humor. And I love it for that. This quote (the one above, not mine) pretty much summarizes what's wrong with about 20% of the negative opinions (20% of each opinion). If you're offended by the juvenile idiocy of Duke... that's like being offended by torture in a Saw movie or blood in a zombie movie. Or, to be blunt... you're kinda an idiot.

More like:
"I'm going to apologize, but 2k is still going to start denying games to some of you"

You know a game is probably bad, if the mainstream review sites that often get bribes or threats to do good reviews, almost universally are giving bad reviews out.

The difference between then and now is that Valve created a new market for this sort of deal and does a damned good job with it.

That's what we can say years later. But then people bitched and whined and MOST OF THEM installed Steam to play Counterstrike and HL2. And then, they get used to it. And now they can't think of a life without Steam.

EA is bringing nothing to the table ...

EA doesn't have to. They bring TOR and probably BF3 and ME3 and every other potential hit to Origin. That's all they have to do. Enough people will follow. And get used to it.

No, you do not have to follow. But enough people will as they followed Steam, as they accepted online DRM and account locked content and other annoyances just to play a popular game. Many gamers are addicted to games. They will do anything.
