Hitler jokes exist and are sometimes funny (anyone ever read that online comic where Jesus goes to WW 2 to fight Werewolf Hitler?). Successful humor is less about the actual content and more about the presentation of it. If you disagree with that, then okay, that's your personal tastes, but you also have to understand that there are substantial audience niches who do find dead baby comedy amusing.
DNF doesn't really strike me as a horrible game so much as a mediocre one. But people rail against it like it's the Antichrist because they've had so long to wait for the damned thing. I would 'fix' DNF by having it developed by a competent dev team from the start that knew how to stick to a schedule and release a product before expectations overwhelmed any realistic capacity to deliver. That's the biggest hurdle. All the genuine gameplay mechanics criticisms, while important for making a good game, are less so for making a product that people don't love to hate. I can think of much worse games that people like much more than DNF.
Furthermore, I think Guantanamo must be destroyed.

You want to know how I'd fix Duke Nukem Forever? I'd fix it with a sledgehammer, a billygoat, five gallons of lighter fluid, a mariachi band, fifteen martinis, and a large African elephant.
Oh, and a box of Ho-Hos.
I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serial

Calm down, brotofski. It was just one joke. I didn't find it that funny, but I don't understand why people would get offended.
Why the goat?

A reminder, folks:
The topic of this thread is How would you fix DNF? not "What do you want to complain about in DNF?"
If your post is only about what you don't like, you're doing it wrong.

Errybody's gettin' thumped.
I think it would have been a perfectly serviceable game without a weapon limit, regen health by killing enemies, and infinite sprint. Duke can bench 600 pounds, there's no reason he shouldn't be able to sprint for more than ten seconds.

@Sober Irishman: Telling you would just ruin the fun of it all, wouldn't it?

Well, I think it's already serviceable now, just... very unremarkable.
People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.

I suppose I liked it okay. It was very funny, and pretty long for an FPS. Everything I wanted to be there was there. The only thing I actually outright hated was the boss battles.
Also, the multiplayer is a blast; a breath of fresh air in a sea of brown n' bloom tacticool shootan gaems.

This was supposed to be the triumphant return of an old school FPS protagonist.
The game should've played more like a classic FPS.
That's about all I have to say.

I was going to make a "take him to the clinic" joke as a play on the word fixed, but seeing everyone getting thumped made me lose interest. >_>
It's Like Arguing on the Internet
Stop using the damn Duke 3D aliens as bad guys. DNF was originally gonna have Dr. Proton from Duke 1 as the villain, and I think they should have kept it that way.
Somehow you know that the time is right.
Gunpla is amazing!
Heres a small fix.
Instead of that stupd and completely inappropriate line Douk says, and the game continues on. He goes into a fucking Unstoppable Rage and the entire level is steroid mode Duke and you just slaughter everything in your path.

If the joke really is that Duke sleeps with a lot of prostitutes, then it's still terrible.
If I were responsible for fixing this one, I'd make it more its own game. Duke Nukem used to be an innovator, not another Halo wannabe. And why does every FPS wanna be Halo anyway?
Only two weapons are for pussies.

I liked it better when Questionable Casting was called WTH Casting Agency

^Which is why they're patching the game to allow you to carry four weapons.

Some interesting and distinct characters besides Duke. You know like Bosses.
Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.
One way to fix it: given that the game itself is mostly done (if not almost all done) during the long, disastrous 3D Realms development hell, I think it just would've been scrapped in the first place with Gearbox given a longer time to create a better game than what we see here...
