the hive the worst level ever?

[Harry]

the level from my point is easily the worst level in the game and maybe in any game ive played its so boring and pointless anyone agree?

I think it's fine. I know lots of people hate it though.

[Mister Torgue Flexington]

it's definitely not the worse. the longest maybe, but not the worse

[Harry]

i have 3 levels left to play and so far its the one thats annoyed me the most

[TRC]

The level itself didn't other me too much but the whole killing crying women infected by aliens thing really bothered me. I know their trying to stay true to the original story by doing that (and the whole "roofies, who gave me roofies!?" line was really funny and so was slapping the tri-tits on the wall) but it's still pretty disturbing. I'm usually down with disgusting humor but that was a little much even for me.

[Harry]

i never played the original story but i agree it was abit far in that sense

[Concaco]

It's boring and badly designed.

I really liked that level, didn't care much for the boobies or the twins scene (would have been better if they removed that maybe), but the first time I played it, it scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of me.
Every time I came up on that Octobrain behind the glass I unloaded my gun on him.
And there's a real easy way to kill the Octos that's really fun.
Should have been longer though - more stuff to do. First time - great, second time - need to be on the hardest difficulty.
The whole game was badly designed and tedious, gawd, what about the toy truck level, mostly just boring crap. Could have been fun, it was just tedious.

believe it or not, but "The Hive" could potentially be completed without taking any damage whatsoever (or very little), even on the Insane Difficulty. But to do that, you have to have the right weapons for the right job and know where the enemies spawning spots are at (and part of this is shooting/blowing up all of the Impregnator eggs before they could even hatch.

Boring? What are your smoking? I got to slap milk spurting boobs on a wall.

*forever entertained*

In my opinion is one of the worst levels, because if you try to see, you won't see anything, but if you try to put on the Duke's vision it's impossible to see a s.... . And most important, is extremely confusing, so you won't see the way through even after years of lookin around. So I AGREEEEEEEEE with you

[Jag Taggart '93]

I didn't like it since it was kinda a downer. Duke is the man who "saves our babes!" So I was pumped to get to that hive and save Duke's chicks... only to see that it was too late. Not cool.

I'd have prefered it if Duke was given some kind of crazy device from the EDF that allowed him to save the chicks in the hive, even the occasional hidden one for an "ego boost" and a bit of a reward *nudgenudge* Instead of having to walk through it with your head low thinking "Yep, sorry girls, I failed you, my bad."

[Two Clicks]

I found it the least enjoyable but not the worst level Ive seen in a game. Though the one in the kitchen later on when your mini-ed was a v. close 2nd. Gah that was bad!

I turn the Gamma/Brightness up and most of the effects off so it's just dark enough that i can barely see without night vision except for pitch black, like in the vents in Duke Burger, Night vision sucks and so do the "beer goggles", but it's a challenge and not impossible.
I liked killing the rats with the rat traps, and even the shrunken enemies I thought were very cool.
However, trying to be a giant killer in the storage room(?) where there's nowhere to hide: I really hated that. Eventually though, after I died may times, it became fun.
On the hardest difficulty, killing anything with the toy truck is nearly impossible.

But the Hive would have been better if there were more enemies earlier on, and as already mentioned, the abilty to save the girls. Could have been so much better.

that reminds me of a ported version of "Duke Nukem 3D" I think for the PS2 or PS3, I forgot which, but it allowed you to save the cocooned women instead of killing them

I always hated the lady killer level. It's so boring.
