It's not available yet, but 3D Realms says that it will be "when it's done."

But which version of Duke Nukem Forever should I get? I figure that the Nintendo 64 version will look better than PlayStation version, but I fear that the limited space of the cartridge format will mean a cut game. The PlayStation's spacious 650-megabytes-per-CD-ROM should ensure the complete game, but it also means long loading times. And sure, the Windows version will probably be, by far, the best looking version, but those Voodoo 2 cards are expensive.

I am not considering the Sega Saturn version of Duke Nukem Forever because I don't own a Saturn. Maybe I'll buy one when Sonic X-treme is released. That game looks promising.

More like Duke Nukem is taking forever.

Unless the game ends up being Jesus himself I don't see how 3DR will not end up being a laughingstock forever.

Post in the wrong forum much?

This belongs in the Boneyard, where it will be discovered around the same time DNF comes out.

BTW, I was asking for the proof level of the liquid that he had obviously been drinking.

Did this have to be moved from the Lounge to the Gaming forum?

Yes, this thread is about a game, but it's a humor thread, and part of the joke is lost when it can't be seen near the thread that it mocks.

I dont get why they get mocked for this game. They never gave any indication as to when it'd be available.
