Still havent played the game. Are the loads times so long that you want to get up and go get something to eat/drink/or go pee. However they were just short enough were you couldnt. Or were they so long you could grill a steak and some veggies then eat it and they still were not done.

can u please post a pic of the poster? can't find one online. thanks

What kind of target, I wouldn't mind one of those...Is there a limit ?

I still have it in the wrapper on the shelf from my $2.99 Best Buy purchase. reluctant to open it for fear of the suck.

The load times were long then getting up and going pee. I made it half way thru and couldn't take it anymore.

I just got the game (last copy) lol, I didn't get a poster though :(.

I ing love reading Duke Nukem threads. I'm guaranteed a few laughs.

As with all my games I install them to the hard drive...for DNF it doesnt help whatsoever. If you die, restart a checkpoint or do chapter select, expect 30-45 seconds on a load screen that plays a short terrible loop of generic "heavy" metal along with the usual "hints" at the bottom of the screen that repeat over and over.

Load times are long but I think Splatterhouse has it beat for the longest load times for current gen

You can hate me now -- but the upcoming Aliens Colonial Marines is looking more & more like the life Duke Nukem Forver: Years in development, perpetual delays, and Randy Pitchford quotes about now great it's gonna be.

In conclusion, 1 year from now there will be an ACM thread just like this DNF one.

NOTE: I bought DNF for $60 the day it came out and I also love Alien(s).

Seriously, it is. It was $9.99 at most retailers December 2011. I bought my copy for around $10 back when the game was $30. I sold it for $16. I later got the 3D edition from Target for $6 and sold that one for $16. I tried to buy one from Best Buy for $3, but they wouldn't ship to my house for some reason or to my local store or let me pick it up from my local store. $10 is an awful deal. When it goes down to $5, I just may buy it again. Fool me once, shame on you 3D Realms, fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I must be a major Duke Nukem Forever fan.

I'm not mad haha. Where I live stores are still selling it for $30. So factoring that and the fact it had an exclusive bundled with it I figured I'd spread the word. I knew as soon as my post contained anything DNF I would prob get flamed anyways.

Oh, and about what the poster looks like: It's simply the cover art in anaglyph format. The 3d effect is marred by the wrinkles to some extent, but it still 'pops' if thats your thing.

its all good man, caused me to scope it out yesterday. Obviously there is a little sticker on the front cover promoting the poster, so don't grab it if you don't see it. Store I was at had 2 in the wired cases, one with sticker, one without..

it was $6 cheaper like a week ago. I'd wait for it to drop under $20, which it will again.

(also off topic, sorry)

NOOOOO! I have such high hopes for this game.........
From what I understand, Gearbox got handed a bag of crap with DNF - they didn't develop it completely from the start..... who knows.

A single tear runs down my cheek.... mixed Prometheus reviews.... and now possibly ACM being crap - where has all the good Aliens stuff gone?

I was just going to say, I picked up 2 copies of the Balls of Steel Edition last week. One just to have some sweet office swag, and the other to leave in the package in hopes that the worst Duke Nukem game in history will be worth some money someday in a sealed package. :P Also, it was $15.99 like the people above had mentioned. I would wait for it to go back down in price as well.
