Sorry didn't know that was there Thanks for showing me

[MusicallyInspired]

Ugh I hate these type of forum systems. Why are they getting so popular? Everyone seems to be switching over. It reminds me of the really old bulletin board systems before phpBB and YaBB/SMF.

[Steve 64]

I like it the old way better

[Mblackwell]

Light weight and easy to browse on a phone. I hate it though.

[MusicallyInspired]

They have mobile schemes for standard forum designs. I hate this new design.

[DukeNukem64]

Anyone going to buy it at release? Would want to hear how the game is from someone experienced.. (You know who you are)

*sigh*

Websites and Forums nowadays seems like doing that shit, default with mobile UI...even user is using desktop system.


At least give us a different option for non-mobile system user...


That's why I didn't use Windows 8 and later. Stick on Win 7 and refuse to upgrade to the free Win 10.

2 Days... I just hope Bombshell runs well. RoTT still runs awful even with new PC.

Actually I hope everything about Bombshell will be great. This is Interceptors chance to be either well known or be known as bad devs.

3D Realms. Not Interceptor.

Wrong. Interceptor is developing the game. 3D Realms simply owns the IP.

[LkMax]

At that point they are the same thing, no?
3D Realms is only a shell of its former self.

[HulkNukem]

Lets be honest, this would look bad on both Interceptor and 3DRealms if it flops, they kinda both need eachother at this point.

[DukeNukem64]

So Bombshell comes exactly 20 years after Duke Nukem 3D. Duke 3D came out 29th of January 1996. Bombshell comes out same date but 20 years later. I never knew that until someone mentioned Gearbox and anniversary

[FistMarine]

edit

[Doom64hunter]

Unfortunately it happens to be right after the release of that Tomb Raider game that's been getting media coverage like crazy.

Well, it's better than releasing right after Fallout 4 in any case.

[Lunick]

It might seem like Bombshell is getting zero media coverage but that is because the game is review embargoed until launch.

[Micky C]

Is that a bad sign or has it simply become standard practice these days? I mean if 3DR were super confident in the game you'd think the positive reviews before release would increase sales.

[Lunick]

According to Fred, offering pre-orders for a game means you are not confident with it.

[Jenz/Amaka]

And it seems nobody knows this game. None of my friends knew this game and there's barely any marketing at all.

[Sonaria The Druid]

Ho-ly shit.

Yeah, this is going to be a marketing flop.

First review from a named site is up and it's not pretty. 2.5/10 from Destructoid.

Bad, boring, and broken: It’s a special hat trick performed only by the most special of games and the only accomplishment Bombshell is likely to be remembered for, if it will indeed be remembered at all. Until now, this isometric shooter was known primarily for its laughably awful initial trailer, and at least deserves dubious praise for living up to its marketing’s expectations; it is as underdeveloped and unexciting as our introduction to it.

4/10 from Tech Raptor.

Is Bombshell good? I wanted to like Bombshell, but with how repetitive it is, the bad visual design and generally how little it offers, it’s hard to recommend it.

Bombshell isn’t the worst game I’ve ever played, but it’s among the most dull and uninteresting.

Cue the rabid fans saying that reviewers are hating on 3D Realms.

Edit: In retrospect, perhaps calling the game "bombshell" may not have been the wisest idea.

[Mr. Tibbs]

LGR's review.

[Bloodshot]

ouch

[MYHOUSE.MAP]

3DR was expecting a Nancy Grace-style bombshell that would shake up gamers, but instead it's going to be a bomb, box-office style.

[Steve 64]

Well hopefully that the prequel will be better then the main game since some of the top talent from Duke4.net is working on it.

[DukeNukem64]

So rise of the triad wasn't just an unlucky try..
