If there was a console version

Of course Microsoft doesn't have the exclusivity over achievements, but the only PC games I'm aware of having achievements are some Steam ones, TF2 included...

[rockmanekuzu8]

360 version is highly possible but a PS3 version better come to fruition, because I usually play games on Playstation or Nintendo Consoles, not really Microsoft. They should be able to bring DNF on PS3 just as GTA4 came out on it too, so it would really help sell the game even better and benefit us PS3 owners.

What are you talking about?

[peoplessi]

I can't say I understood that either Well, they have staff of around 35 people, it is not really likely for them to branch out and do a PS3 version, and for me X360 version in-house sounds unlikely too but more likely than PS3 version on top of that too.

Something similar that happened with Prey, could be a possibility. Meaning that some other studio does the port for other platforms.

X360 version has been tossed around the most, due the specifics of the gamemarket today, it just might be reasonable thing to do. I expect the PC version to be the #1 and other are ports of that PC version.

But so far STEAM achievements don't do shit. You can't gather up points and then use them to obtain items/games through Steam.

So far I'm a little letdown by Steam's achievement system... it's more a e-penis thing. Like... "Look at me!! I've gotten every achievement in TF2!! That makes me better than you!"

I don't understand, you were asking for a complete year for a 360 version and now you want a PS3 version? You bought another console or am I missing something?

I don't see any problem with that.. Sometimes I enjoy striving for achievements just for the hell of it - haven't we all attempted to get the garden g-nome into space?

Damien's point is that if you can get games "for free" then games will have more replay value.

Already got that little gnome bastard into space... meh.

And not my point. My point was that so far, IMO, achievements on Steam seem kind of pointless when compared to achievements on the 360.

As you said before, achievements are an e-penis, and points make them even worse.

Achievements aren't so important to me, but many of them are fun and make you do things you probably didn't know you could do in the game...

You know what I'm talking about. Let me say it again: If DNF comes out on the Big 3= PS3, 360 and PC it would be great for all 3 System owners. It will help sell the game better as GTA4 did by being multi-console, but not PC yet. So if for instance DNF came out on all 3 Systems on Release Date it will give PS3, 360 and PC owners all a fair chance.

I sure hope it comes on PS3 since the PS3 is more advanced than the 360, but lacks game titles right now. I will support a PS3 version, now that I changed my mind over a 360 Version, PLEASE 3DR release all 3 versions on the same release date soon.

I am for the most part, but don't make me repeat myself. All I ask is that I hope there's a PS3 Version that's all, End of Story. Thanks.

[DerricktheW]

I'm all for a 360 version, but not if it interferes or further extends the release of the original PC version.

"If" There is a 360 version? Be happy it won't get relased on consoles first....

Oh it will be released on consoles, there's no doubt about that. It's PC first though, ports later. I would hope (for other's sake) that the console ports aren't crap (if all they have is a console).

Myself, I would be fine with PC only. I just hope the ports don't get extra content that the PC version doesn't.

[Shams]

Achievement unlocked: Your face, your ass...what's the difference?.
- blow the heads of x amount of pig cops

Achievement unlocked: Always bet on Duke!
- Finish the game on hardest difficulty plus it unlocks a unique gamertag pic where the pic is Duke pic in chips as seen in the 98 trailer.

Achievement unlocked: Chuck who?
- Kill X amount of enemies using duke kick only.

Achievement unlocked: Disclosure project
- find all hidden documents/files on UFO's on all levels (it's like more like forcing the player to explore levels than going from point A to B). And when duke finds the last one he says "This one's for you Dr. Greer!"

Achievement unlocked: I'll buy that for a dollar!
- tip all the strippers/dancers

Achievement unlocked: Among The Untouchables
- survive on 20% health for 5 minutes. Duke says "Beat that Malone!"

Achievement unlocked: This ain't no stealth action espionage
- get caught on all security cameras and by patrolling guards/pig cops in certain levels where duke can actually sneak past to avoid fights.

Achievement unlocked: In a jiffy...
- beat a level under a certain amount of time

That's all I can think of from the top my head. Damn I'm already excited....come on 3DR bring DNF out on 360

What are you doing with your achievements on the 360 that make them any better? You make it sound like they are good for something other than an e-penis. Am I missing something after almost 3 years of collecting these things?

I'm gonna feel really silly if you tell me I can be trading these in for sexual favours from Jade Raymond or something...

[Mangopork]

Achievement: +5 Points for every time you did NOT make a forum post asking about duke's release date.

Yeah PC first indeed, however there better be all 3 Versions at the release date hopefully.

[Cool_Daddy]

Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time, my life keeps me SO busy. Concerning the Xbox 360 and Duke, the #1 thing that would be a MUST HAVE to me, would be 4-player split screen Duke Matching! Halo 3 has it, and the most fun I ever have is playing Halo 3 multi-player with my 3 kids, all at one time together. It is a BLAST! If Halo 3 can do it, then so can Duke Nukem Forever in my humble opinion. That shows that it CAN be done. I was VERY disappointed to see that Unreal Tournament will not be 4-player playable on split screen like Halo 3. I was really looking forward to getting it for that reason. I was very bummed out about that. I really hope they allow for 4-player Duke Matching, because I would run out and buy it for sure JUST for that reason alone. That would be so much fun.

Hmmmmmm.... an one-liner for every achievement. That's a nice idea!

[Edward Wrightman]

Achievement: This, is my BOOMSTICK!!
Kill 150 enemies with the shotgun.

Achievement: Beat that, Dick!
Land 15 headshots with the shotgun.

Achievement: Nice shootin', son.
Have at least 75% accuracy through the entire game.

Achievement: I was born to rock the world.
Destroy every speaker/radio in the game.

[Cool_Daddy]

I just bought Unreal Tournament 3, and played it with my son for hours last night. As I suspected, there is no 4-player split-screen play like there is in Halo 3, but they do allow you to play 2-player split-screen, and I had a blast playing it last night. The bad thing is that my 2 daughters had to sit and watch us play, and could not play along with us at the same time like they can when we play Halo 3. I really hope Duke Nukem Forever allows for 4-player split-screen Dukematching, as that would really helpt to make it the best game ever, with no drawbacks. 2-player is alot of fun, but 4-player would be great if they are able to do it.

Same here, 4 player splt-screen is one of my favorite features in a console game. I'd like to see it in DNF 360... if it will developed that is.

Theres quite a few pc games that have achievements, cant think of any now, but on xbox live, iv viewed peoples profiles and theyre gamerscore includes games that are "pc only"

You need an xbox gamertag though

[ash678]

i think achievements are this generations secrets :P.

ofocurse if you dont look at what they are when yuo get the game and stuff i think it makes the game alot more fun and intresting when you unlock something like that

[Jinroh]

Waiting for Christmas - Leave your Xbox unattended for 5 minutes.

[DeadlygothRacer]

Achievement Earned!: Kick Ass and Chew Bubble Gum
- Breeze through a hoard of pig cops without losing health

This would be a good feature to implement into Duke Forever, and it would make a nice ten point achievement

LOL. They should call that one "Royal Flush"

With that in mind, here's the achievements I would like to see. . .

Royal Flush (10)
Description: Shrink an enemy on the can, and flush him down

Shake It Baby (10)
Description: Paid 5 strippers for a striptease

Hail To The King (25)
Description: paid 100 strippers for a striptease

Kick Ass And Chew Bubblegum (10)
Description: Kill 25 enemies with Dukes foot

Bacon & Toast (25)
Description: Blow up 1 pig cop and 1 other enemy with the same explosive

Duke Nuke 'em (50)
Description: Obliterate 250 enemies total using explosives

Zero Collateral Damage (15)
Description: Made it through an entire level wihtout killing any civilians

Collateral Damage My Ass (45)
Description: Made it through the entire game without killing any innocents

Damn I'm Good (65)
Description: Completed the game on any difficulty

Duke Nukem Forever (150)
Description: Completed the game on the hardest dificulty level without dying (assuming you can save/load your progress in any part of the level, like in the original Duke3D)

Random Prey (15)
Description: Speak with Tommy at the Bar ( Seemed like it would make a good cameo, being that 3DRealms was partly involved with Prey)

Pork Chops (20)
Description: Chop off 100 total pig cop arms and legs ( Based off the location specific damage George had mentioned, and also assuming the chainsaw is still in the game)

Get Your Motor Running (25)
Description: Kill 20 enemies while riding a MotorBike

Brawn Beats Brains (30)
Description: Blow apart 28 octobrains

That Explains it (25)
Description: Found the Hidden 3DRealms Strip Club

Up Yours, Chuck Norris (85)
Description: Kill every enemy in a level using only dukes foot, and complete the level without dying on the hardest difficulty

A Time To Kill (45)
Decription: Kill 25 enemies in 30 seconds


And more to come as I think of them. .. .

But yea, I was just thinking 3DR hasn't done much on the Xbox360, so they could probably use the help for coming up with achievements (not that i doubt their ingenuity or anything, just that I've seen a lot of shooters with less then enjoyable achievements)

Really? Why? It's cheaper then a computer, has 3 cores, has the best online interface of any system, and plays games in high defenition, with no need to worry about configuring the specs. Like resolutions, antialiasing, and so on. It's all automatic, and there's nothing else running in the background that's eating up the processing power/ram when you're playing a game, as compared to a computer that's. . say, running windows Memory Hog. . . I mean, Windows Vista. < D

Couldnt of said it better myself,thats the beauty of a console, ok so youre not gonna get performance or graphics as good as a high end PC but its cheaper and at least you know every game will play well and youll get better performance than you would for a £150 PC (if you could even get one that cheap)

Yea, exactly, and then you have to worry about upgrading all your PC's equipment every few years, and then you still have to continually get new drivers for everything and THEN just hope it works on your system. I made the decision long ago to just stick to consoles and I have never been happier.

Yeah I love my 360 even tho its away for repair at the mo(1st time its gone wrong tho) but I still would like a bang on PC its just the money thats an issue for me

Same here. If I had a spare $5000 to buy a top of the line gaming rig with all the fixings, then I might try out the PC again, as you really can't beat the graphics of a high end PC. But really, the 360's graphics all ready looks pretty good, and I just don't have that kind of money at the moment.

[Haravikk]

Big Spender (10 points) - spend more than $1,000,000 on soda/snacks/games/tips (to strippers)
High Roller (20 points) - win more than $1,000,000 in the casino(s)
Shake it baby! (5 points) - paid for a dance from every stripper in the game (worth more points if some are hard to find or keep alive)
Played with yourself (10 points) - beat the high score on Duke Nukem pin-ball
3D Realms Special (10 points) - complete the game more than 11 years after you started (this one's non-serious =)
Honey I shrunk the... (10 points) - stepped on 100 shrunken enemies
Where is it? (5 points) - ran more than 10,000 feet without finding a key-card
Holy shit! (5 points) - gibbed (exploded) more 100 enemies
All out of gum (10 points) - killed enemies with mighty foot

[jagguar20]

I am not sure, but I think that making an achivement with bad language is not possible.

[Colicedus]

How about after unlocking all achivements, Duke gets acsess to an overly O.P weapon.
My thoughts - Tesslers Earthquake device: A bomb that starts to cause earth quakes slowly, and builds up to the point where it will level citys, eventuly the only movment is crawling, and then soon, peoples flesh and mussles are separated right off there bones.

Comes with an Off remote.

For those of you who dont know where I got this idea, there was an Urban ledgind about the inventor Tesslar creating a machine that caused an earthquake in Manhattan. the local authoratys came to see if this inventor had anything to do with this, and they found the man trying to stop this bouncing machinery with a sledge hammer because the on button was jamed.

now tell me who wouldent want one of these?
