Well, I always hoped this day would come. like many for the longest time I didn't think it would ever happen. Like most games I buy though I'll wait for the reviews first. I'am glad Duke has returned. I hope its a good one.

Yeah I saw that sale ealier but think I will still wait. No need tieing up $45 (to save $5) in case the damn thing gets moved back which could never happen to Duke, right??

Man, I wish I still had my box copy of Duke Nukem 3D. It got "garage saled" years ago.

I think this game uses steamworks. Might as well pick it up at d2d, which also has 10% off preorder. But you can send yourself a referral coupon good for 15% off, which stacks. Makes the game 38.21. And then you should be able to activate the code they send you on steam.

I want the game, but I'm waiting till the demo is out to make my decision. I've been in the mood for a non serious/military FPS for a bit now and Duke is looking to fit the bill. I have a fair amount of credit over on D2D so I can pick it up for cheaper then with coupons too and just activate on Steam if I enjoy the demo. First access club people should get it soon.

will wait for sale
i rarely buy at release for full or nearly full price anymore since it seems most games go on sale very shortly after release

Ya, and with this game in particular, I don't think it will kill me to wait a bit longer.

Just because it is up for preorder doesn't mean its going to be released. Ask those guys who preordered it in like 2004.

 

[Soccerman06]

Ill just wait for it to come out. I will however play my Duke Nukem 3D for a few days, just to get into the mood. Probably wont buy it till a sale or I see a buttload of good reviews.

Yep... did it once not again.... I'll keep playing LOTRO and wait for it to get down to $1.99.

 

[UberNeuman]

So tempted - however with all the great deals for Portal 2 just before the release I'll just wait a bit longer...

\only been waiting 13 years - a bit more won't matter...

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

They screwed around with their little delay game one too many times for me. I look forward to seeing it in the bargain bin - 2011 is much too exciting a gaming year to bother with this.

What a sick joke. Jesus returns on the 21st and these guys are still trying to take our money knowing we'll never play it. D::thumbsdown:

 

[Zenoth]

I'll buy it, surely, but not for that price, I'll wait until it hits the $20 mark or so.

They've got balls of steel pulling a stunt like that.

 

[greenhawk]

going to have to look at d2d or similar - local steam price (before discount) is $80US. not going to happen.

 

[Throckmorton]

With interest that $45 comes out to $874 when the game is finally released

I don't understand why people pre-purchase games - what's the point of doing this? Why not just buy it on release day, or better yet wait for reviews/a demo?

Usually there is a discount, and you get to say "yey I pre-ordered it, I rock!".

I waiting until it hits the bargain bin. No reason to jump on this game, I've waited many years, I can wait another for a steam sale.

finally here, took 'em forever and ever ...

Think I am going to wait to see if Best Buy or Direct2Drive offers some kind of promotion sale before I buy from Steam.

10% is the usual discount for pre-purchase, but if I can get it for less, then so be it.

After waiting so long, its still a little difficult to believe that DNF is actually on steam. I will be even more surprised when its unlocked and I get to play.

Its hard to believe that gamers have been waiting over a decade for DNF.

10% discount through steam, sometimes more discounts through places like direct2drive.

Send yourself a friend referral coupon from d2d and you will get 15% (from the referral) and you can also use the 10% preorder coupon. They all stack so you get the game for 25% off or ~$38

I do not know how to send a referral on direct2drive.

Just follow the link and sign into d2d. Then you will need to put in an email address (in the SEnd To Box) to send the referral to that you can check (I think it has to be a different one from you main d2d account).

Wasn't there supposed to be a beta or something for people that bought borderlands goty or something?
