Duke Nukem Forever comes to Mac in August

After taking so long to get here, it's no surprise that Duke is spreading out to as many platforms as he can. Porting house Aspyr Media announced today that it'll be bringing the infamous Duke Nukem Forever to Mac in August.
You can pre-order the Mac edition of Duke Nukem Forever from Aspyr now for $44.99, a 10% discount. Aspyr has produced the Mac ports of heaps of PC titles, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Civilization V, and LEGO Star Wars.
Though critical and fan receptions was mixed--almost violently so--DNF sold well enough to top retail sales charts in several countries. Unsurprisingly, its success means we'll definitely be seeing more Duke. Check out Steve's review to see what he made of it, or give the demo a whirl yourself.
(I had cracking a macking/Mac pun, but Duke's sexual satisfaction seems to stem largely from eerie leering. A strange one, that chap.)

DNF is based on the Unreal 2 engine.

"based" is a relative term. The game was moved to Unreal Engine 2 (the switch from the Quake/Quake 2 engine) but over time nothing of UE2 remains.

You're right. I meant to say that DNF is based on the build Quake Quake 2 Unreal 1 heavily modified Unreal 2 engine.

lol, maybe it'll be as revolutionary for them as Halo was for the consoles.
-
ironic, since Halo was originally a Mac title, like its superior predecessor: Marathon
-
Damn straight. They need to return to Marathon.

Does this mean the Steam PC version owners will get the Mac version for free?
-
I wish, but doubt it consider aspyr is porting.

Why oh WHY would they do this? Why the hell is this crap in box getting so much attention? Mac users SAVE YOUR MONEY... It'll run like shit and just be in general a bad experience for you... Go buy Shadows of the damned do not support this game.

I'm reading all this negativity here and just felt the need to step in and say... I'm in the middle of playing the game right now and having a lot of fun with it. I don't really see why everybody hates this game so much. I'm having more fun with DNF than I have with any Call of Duty came in the past years (with the exception of Spec Ops mode in co-op).
-
I think it's a case of expectations. I tried to moderate my expectations but after 14 years I think I lost perspective and really despised it.
People coming in expecting it to be the worst game ever will probably find it's nowhere near as bad as all that.
Although even then, it's still a terrible game. Just not the worst game.
