What system did you play this on? Because it seems that the PC version has no major loading issues and looks a little better.
In any case, it's a shame that 3D Realms took so damn long just to make a shooting game with low-brow humor, as if this were to be some kind of high-quality AAA masterpiece. However, even though it's apparent that time has taken its toll on the Duke, it does look fun enough to get at a cheaper price than regular.

It was the PS 3 version.

Development Hell Took Its Toll...
First let me say that I wanted to find a great game. I wanted to enjoy Duke Nukem Forever.
However the game has several flaws, likely as a result from being in Development Hell for so long. First one is that the graphics are clearly out of date, something you would expect to find on a FPS from a few years ago. Second is that the difficulty varies from level to level. One early mission is tougher than several after it, then the difficulty spikes again. Third is the loading times, as in getting a loading screen after every thirty minutes of gameplay and each time you die. Some boss fights had more time spent loading than fighting. Fourth is the seemingly thrown in gameplay changes, switching to unnecessary platforming or badly handling vehicle levels.
The only real advantage this game has over other games in the market is the Refuge In Audacity elements. The swearing, tits, toilet humor, Testosterone Poisoning, et cetera. If that's what you want, then Duke Nukem is for you. If you want a high quality game, look elsewhere. This is one for the fanboys who patiently waited 14 years for the Duke's return.
