Completed my first playthrough, yet I didn’t get the “Piece of Cake” achievement for completing the game in Easy Difficulty.<\/p>\n
I played without cheats too. It was hard, having to find cover from enemy fire. But I had fun. And now I feel like playing again, just for an achievement run. This time I want to use a trainer since I played legit, so I’m worthy of one.
\nAnd thanks to cheathappens, I found one. I find my second playthough more fun the fact I have unlimited RPG rounds, and the RPG was one of my favorite weapons in Duke3D (especially during a bot Dukematch on one of my custom-made maps).<\/p>\n
The game is based around being in and around Las Vegas. The year.. unknown. Maybe 2009 or something. It’s 12 years in the future after Duke3D. The aliens are back, but they aren’t here to kill everyone.. yet. Secretly, they’re trying to plot revenge against the one that kicked their asses. The President orders you not to attack so he can make peace with the aliens, but they do, unprovoked. And they drank your beer. It’s ass-kicking time.<\/p>\n
So anyway, I mentioned in my previous post about the EGO bar. Turns out, you need to increase this bar by looking or doing things that Duke loves (himself, boobs, women, being awesome) to increase it. By increasing, you’ll survive better against tougher enemies. Plus you get an achievement for finding all hidden EGO increasers. Some of the ways to get EGO are nearly impossible. As in, you can get them but they take alot of time to get, such as the Pinball machine and the Air Hockey table.<\/p>\n
Having no usable jetpack, was sort of a disappointment. But I assume they couldn’t get some levels to support this feature.. or something. Isn’t really a game-killer to me.<\/p>\n
Some say the graphics are outdated and shit like that. I didn’t mind. My computer definitely doesn’t mind. I didn’t buy it for the graphics. I got it for the gameplay, which I do like. It’s fast-paced (alittle too fast-paced at times), and fun. Cover is critically needed to survive, and some cover can be destroyed (not talking just explosive barrels).<\/p>\n
Some say the game is not “realistic”. Um.. it’s a game. It’s not supposed to be. Duke3D wasn’t realistic and I had fun, especially in the BUILD editor. However, this game did feel short to me. But I didn’t mind it.<\/p>\n
Also, I finally got the “Piece of Cake” and “Gunslinger” achievements, on my second playthrough. Now I don’t have to carry around my pistol anymore. Speaking of weapons, I was half-wrong about you could only have a regular and a super weapon. You can only have two weapons at a time, but, you can replace your pistol with another super weapon (a “super weapon” consists of anything that doesn’t fire conventional bullets).<\/p>\n
Duke is still as hilarious as he was with his one-liners. Such as “Step right up and GET SOME!”, and the new lines he says about the Octobrains, like telling them to go back to Japan.<\/p>\n
There’s also quite alot of unadulterated things. Like when you’re in the hive, and some of the abducted women are.. the balls of a penis. Sick..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
