}} ''Duke Nukem Forever'' is a first-person shooter video game for Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. It is a sequel to the 1996 game ''Duke Nukem 3D'' as part of the long-running ''Duke Nukem'' video game series. It started development at 3D Realms and Triptych Games, and was finished by Gearbox Software and Piranha Games. The game stars the titular action hero who must come out of retirement and save the world from aliens when they begin kidnapping the women of Earth. Intended to be groundbreaking, ''Duke Nukem Forever'' became a notable example of vaporware due to its severely protracted development schedule; the game was released in 2011 after fifteen years of development. Reception to ''Duke Nukem Forever'' was generally average, with many critics singling out the game's simplistic mechanics, unpolished performance, second-rate graphics and dated humor. ==Gameplay== ''Duke Nukem Forever'' is an action-oriented first-person shooter. Players takes control of Duke Nukem and navigate a series of levels which take place on Earth and beyond. The game allows players to interact with various in-game objects, including urinals and water coolers, as well as whiteboards, which allow players to draw their own images. The gameplay is similar in some respects to the first-person shooter games of the late 1990s and early 2000s, with each level culminating in a boss battle in which Duke has to fight and kill a large, significant alien. Unlike in the previous games, Duke can only hold two weapons at any one time in a manner similar to the ''Halo series'', although pipe bombs and laser tripwires are considered inventory items and as such are not limited by this restriction. The PC version allows Duke to hold four weapons in the single-player campaign. Items that have an effect on Duke can be picked up by the player; these items are steroids, beer, and the holoduke. Steroids increase the strength of Duke's melee attacks by a great deal for a limited time. Beer makes Duke much more resistant to damage, but blurs the screen. The holoduke creates a hologram of Duke Nukem that looks and acts in a very similar way to Duke, but often says slightly twisted versions of his one-liners. Whilst the holoduke is in effect, Duke becomes invisible and the AI characters do not recognize his presence. The jetpack also returns, but only in multiplayer. Instead of the health system featured in the previous ''Duke Nukem'' games, in which health would be depleted when Duke was injured and would only increase upon finding a health pack, drinking water from fountains/broken fire hydrants, urinating, or using the portable medkit item, ''Duke Nukem Forever'' employs a system involving an "ego bar". The ego bar depletes when Duke is attacked; once it is fully depleted, Duke becomes susceptible to damage. Dying will result upon taking too much damage and cause the game to reload the last checkpoint. If the player avoids further damage, then the ego bar is restored as is Duke's health. The player can increase the size of the ego bar (thus increasing the amount of damage Duke can take) by interacting with certain objects throughout the game (for example, a mirror), and by defeating bosses. The game employs a save system that is solely based on checkpoints. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Duke Nukem Forever」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
