What is Duke Nukem Forever?

Duke Nukem Forever is a first-person shooter video game developed by 3D Realms and finished by Gearbox Software. It is the fourth main installment and sequel to the 1996 video game Duke Nukem 3D.

The game spent 15 years in development hell, with its release being delayed numerous times. It gained a reputation as vaporware due to its severely protracted development schedule. Screenshots and gameplay footage of early versions of the game showed large differences from the final product, often involving different engines and graphics technologies.

The game was finally released in 2011 by Gearbox Software, who acquired the intellectual property and development rights after 3D Realms was unable to secure funding to complete development. Upon release, Duke Nukem Forever received generally negative reviews from critics, with most of the criticism directed towards the game's clunky controls, frequent load times, linear level design, unimpressive graphics, and offensive humor.

However, some reviewers pointed out that despite its flaws, the game remains surprisingly playable and is faithful to its roots. Many players who had eagerly awaited Duke Nukem Forever for over a decade were disappointed by the final product. The game ultimately did not meet commercial expectations and is considered a financial failure.
