Stop basing your opinions of things based on reviews made by semi literate YouTubers from previous decades. If you go in fresh, you’ll see the music is awesome, it’s fun in parts and a bit slow in others. It’s worth a run through for 5 bucks. I finished the base game twice and played a bit of the expansion. This needs to be released with original art, interviews, history video with modern takes, etc.

I played this game quite late - 1-2 years ago, long time after its relase but man! We need more uncompromising games like this in current boring times of political correctness! I really enjoyed it despite some clunky parts, absolutely loved the humor, half-naked chicks and monster truck driving segments! It feels like Dan Bilzerian simulator. :P

This should be on GOG, but under the condition that the 2002 build has to be released. The final product wasn't bad per say, but it was extremely disappointing after nearly 15 years of waiting. We we're promised something much bigger during the start of the millennium, and honestly based on what people say, they should show their colors more with said lost beta. I know the Restoration Project exists, but that's based on a much earlier and more incomplete build. I and many others simply curious about what was finished. And hey, maybe throw in the Quake II build and other goodies in there! Really give everyone what they want for this game's lengthy legacy.
Duke Nukem Forever is a game that built a lot of hype over the years and when it came out, it completely let down many fans including myself. Overtime, I grew more appreciation for this game with the amount of variety it offered including platforming, puzzle solving, interaction with many objects, and being able to explore around the Duke Burger tower the size of an action figure. Duke Nukem Forever may not win everyone over, but it is a love letter to those that deeply care for this character and franchise if looked at the right way. This is a piece of video game history that deserves to be preserved. If Gearbox still isn’t interested in making Duke 5 and fulfill the broken promise that was made years ago in giving this franchise a better future with fresh new titles, they, along with Take-Two should at least consider keeping Duke’s legacy alive by bringing DNF and other Duke games over to GOG, because Duke Nukem was and always will be the hero that is forever. He should be remembered as a one-man army saving earth from many invasions and not some random unfunny meme influencer somewhere on the internet.

I am going to be brutally honest I don't think it was that bad!!! A lot of people claimed it to be among the worst games. Then your standards are rather unrealistic to the actual worst games ever!!! Sure it wasn't a decent follow up to one of the greatest FPS games of all time. Honestly this game still fun to play for hours. The first campaign in unexpected ways can be somewhat fun. It's not the greatest Duke Nukem campaign neither the worst. The DLC second campaign was among my favorite Duke Nukem campaigns ever. This is the one you can easily replay. Some of the best jokes in years as well. The multiplayer is surprisingly decent for a game of it's reception. Already a good amount of the game actually worth playing people often ignore. I can't deny this was a huge disappointment. At the same time, Duke Nukem Forever still had some fun ideas. Even if the game virtually a parody of Half-Life 2. Essentially a recreation of Half-Life 2 and it's two episodes. Which might've been the secret reason why people hated it. Duke's voice actor later done the Postal Dude in Postal 4. All of a sudden people realizing that may wanna play this game. I do think this Duke Nukem game can sell well here.
My cousin and I managed to purchase the game just for the hell of it just to see what was the ending of the game. I honestly say it was a decent enough game on the Xbone 360 to go through more of it. One thing however stopped me. There was some kind of restaurant section of the game and I had shrunk down to the size of an action for some reason and I had to punch a bunch of Duke Nukem happy meal boxes to progress. I decided to stop destroying the boxes to see what it said on the happy meal boxes. It was a crossword puzzle. The words you had to find was 'blow it out your ***', and '***down your neck'. There wasn't enough words to enough fit the words on the box, yet alone find it. We never laughed harder at a Duke Nukem game in our lives. ...Yeah this game deserves to be put on GoG.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2Neverwinter Nights 2 (NWN2) is a computer role-playing game set in the fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms, one of the popular campaign settings of Dungeons and Dragons. It takes the player from the tiniest of villages into a sweeping tale of danger and war, chronicling their rise from a peasant to a full-fledged hero of the Realms, defending it against one of the greatest threats of the age. Build a character that suits your style of play - good or evil, chaotic or lawful, with any number of skills, feats and professions available at the click of a button. Whether lobbing fireballs and researching forgotten spells as a powerful Wizard, hacking a trail through legions of orcs as a Fighter armed only with a battle axe and your courage, or taking on the role of a Rogue that can slip into the shadows at a moment's notice and take the purse from even the most perceptive of guardsmen. Choose your alignment, your allies, your companions, and how you want your character to develop... design the character you want, role-play the way you want, and carry the battle to the enemy. The design aspects of Neverwinter Nights 2 don't stop there, however. Past the campaign included with the game itself, Neverwinter Nights 2 also gives you all the tools you need to build your own modules, campaigns, and adventures for your friends - move buildings, terrain, script encounters, write dialogues, create quests and items - everything you need to create an epic adventure of your own is included in the toolset for you and any other worldbuilder to use.

Neverwinter Nights
Neverwinter NightsNeverwinter Nights (NWN) is a third-person role-playing video game and is set in the fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, with the game mechanics based on the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition rules. The game engine was designed around an internet-based model for running a massively multiplayer online game (MMOG), which would allow end users to host game servers. The intent was to create a potentially infinite massively multiplayer game framework. This game was named after the original Neverwinter Nights online game; the first ever graphical massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), which operated from 1991 to 1997 on AOL.
