    29:40 From what I've heard, Captain Dylan was only added to the game to replace Bombshell as Duke's sidekick, because 3D Realms retained rights to her. I wouldn't be surprised if he was just a generic EDF soldier model that was turned into a "real" character by Gearbox.

    I find it so funny they were so worried about innovation when in reality Duke Nukem 3d wasn't great because it was technologically boundary pushing, it was great because it was creatively boundary pushing. It released near a very technologically impressive game, Quake, yet it's still fondly remembered. Tech isn't everything. Creativity and passion is.

      I think Broussard was shook by what Quake was able to do and was adamant in his desire that Duke should be the pinnacle of technological design. Problem was he couldn't see that engine technology was progressing faster than the time required to make a half decent game. His other problem was Ken Silverman leaving the game industry after making a voxel based engine and failing to finish a Build successor engine.

    I don't know what video it was in, or a review, but Duke Nukem Forever feels like a weird compilation of almost every FPS game trend from 1998 to 2011 that feels like seeing tree rings. Physics puzzles, lighting, turrets, driving sequences, quick time events, execution kills, bullet time, berserk modes, and edgy dark horror moments. The moments in the alien hive with the impregnated women feels like something from the first Prey (2006) game (which, incidentally, works in that game because the whole tone is quite dark and apocalyptic). It's like cutting down a tree and seeing the rings inside - the years gone by.

If he knows a bit better and is being intentionally self-deprecating. It’s amusing too. especially if he’s packing; it’s like that trope of huge fuck-off things named things like “tiny” or “mister little”.

    One reason why DNF feels so bad tonally is that Duke Nukem 64/Duke Nukem Zero Hour, two Eurocom Duke titles, reworked the character in subtle but important ways. The idea of Duke as saving babes, and saving the women of Earth being his primary passion is a Eurocom conceit. It cast him in a much more sympathetic light. He's a grub, but he's a grub with a heart of gold. In Duke 3D, the women are portrayed as unsavable. "Kill me" and all that. And to some degree DNF immediately whiplashes back to that, but with added Duke meanness.
    This issue of the protagonist coming across as cruel was something I felt Shadow Warrior 2 suffered from as well.

    • @TheT3rr0rMask

      Even still in 3D he goes "Damnit" whenever you kill them, plus enemy spawns to punish you. I get what you're saying, and if it was 3D Realms' original idea it feels like they didn't understand their own character (the Hive line still feels like a forced edgy moment from Gearbox to me).
      We should be thankful for what Eurocom did, it's what we all see Duke as now despite DNF's writing. Haven't read the comics but I understand his characterization is more Eurocom in them too.

    I just figured it out. The "clones" were likely supposed to be actual genetic clones and not robots. But because of video game censorship laws in different countries being what they are, they would have to make them robots at some point anyways if they wanted to sell it in those countries.
    So they simply decided to change them from "clones" to robots from the get go. But the change was probably late in development and they couldn't or wouldn't retroactively go back and change all of the shit that doesn't make sense with robots. So that's why he has to train his robots. And why robots would have exercise equipment around. And why you can kill them by snapping their necks. And all of that. It's just really poor planning and laziness.

  • @Bukkarooo

    I honestly think most of any scene or conversation in DNF would be improved with Duke actually speaking and reacting more. Like, take that first scene where the twins. They mention him being good at the game, stopping the new aliens, and seeing him at the party. And like 15 seconds after they're done talking he says "See you at the party." How much better would that have flowed if he said ANYTHING else? Like, "Don't worry, babes. As long as those aliens have asses, I'll kick them." Or when he's talking to the general and president, he could have given ANY input into the conversation.
    You see hints of it in places. The "Not my babes" line is alright, and the empathy he shows for the scientist stuck in the door and even Dillon in the DLC actually makes him feel like a person. And the conversation with the girl at the Burning Bush?
    Duke is such a CHARACTER, and they relegate him to poor one liners like 5 seconds too late most of the time. If he actually interacted with people and spoke more, I feel like that would have at least bumped the game a few points.

In every clip he is wearing a different child molester kind of shirt so I'm assuming they were filmed at different times. I've seen him attempt a stand up comedian performance, sing a touching song about a bigot, attempt to preform a magic trick and answer questions I'm assuming came from the audience. What in the actual hell is that about? Does he go on tour with a variety show? Who attends the variety show? Do you have to show proof that you own every borderlands game to attend the variety show? If so is there anyone out there that would be willing to attend and ask him why he insists on wearing shirts that put him at a solid 7 or 7 1/2 on the do not leave your children alone with this man because he may turn them into a lampshade scale? I would do it myself but I do not own borderlands and I wouldn't be allowed to attend.

    In the beginning of the game, Duke Nukem is playing a videogame about himself. A game where he grabs a poop from the toilet and plays around with it.
    In the Duke Nukem universe where he is a real person and a multiple times savior of the world, some developer has made a game depicting him playing with poop.

      Marcus makes jokes and small-talk like a normal person, loses friends and family and reacts accordingly to it, questions the evil government he begrudgingly fights for, And in the end generally tries to do the right thing, or at least the best he can in a given situation.

    One improvement out of many that could be applied: the ego boosters are all one click and you're done. Instead of trying to play pool or slots and eating up so much time, Duke proves how awesome he is by simply stepping up to the pool table, and pulling a one-shot win, sinking all the balls in one go. Heck, it would have been less to program since then all you've got is a quick cutscene instead of an entire minigame.

Blam, one blast and abbes run out - ego boosted, and secrete found, ammo in the room they ran out of. Like - its basic level design for a 90s shooter, sure. But afer 14 years of shooters being standardized, back to basics with a bit of ingenuity is what we wanted.

    The major difference between DOOM 2016 and DNF is that the boys at Id Software had to take a long hard look at what they were originally making and realize that diverging so far from the spirit of DOOM that they were essentially any old shooter. With that realization they remade a lot of the game from the ground up to keep that original spirit even if the gameplay has changed quite a bit over the years. DNF is what you get when the lead creative director insists on putting damn near every new piece of gameplay from the last 12 years and changing engines constantly and at one point development actually stopping because the original studio going bankrupt, among other things, and then eventually being picked up by Gearbox to ship a frankensteins monster of a game out the door. DNF didn't just fail, it was made to fail from the start.

      Doom 2016 is an arcade arena shooter with power fantasy narrative, and classic Doom is gothic sci-fi horror fps, what "spirit" are you talking about? The fact that DOOM 2016 was meant to be sci-fi CoD clone that got rectified proves only that AAA corporations have some miniscule chance to innovate or to risk, not that they naturally capable of implementing classic game archetypes. DNF story just looks like 3 good games that was sabotaged and 1 awful game that got released.

    To this day, I'm still convinced the "Looks like you're... Fucked" line was added to the script last minute, either by or at the request of Pitchford. Even for a guy as crass and unlikable as Duke, it seems _very_ out of character for him, especially considering all the effort Duke goes through to try and save the twins (And also considering his lines for when you kill a cocooned woman are mostly on the sadder side). Randy must've either added that in while Jon St. John was away, or slipped him $50 to say it and then had it added to the scene where it would literally be _the_ most inappropriate thing for the main character to say. It honestly sounds like something Duke would've said to Dillon as he bled out, before walking away and remarking that "He won't be in the sequel."
    There's a lot wrong with this game, and I'd estimate about 70-80 percent of that can be traced back to Pitchford.

      I think it just a case that Duke was never a well written character in the first place. In the Duke 3d he was mostly just taking one liners from famous movies. Duke never really had any kind of consistent character, he's meant to be a ladies man that every woman has the hots for yet hangs around strippers and hookers and talks like the kind of guy that a woman would blow off after 30 seconds of interacting with him. The original incubator levels worked because they seemed like a smuty but cartoony take on Aliens, it was light hearted ,the new level went with realism and that just gave it a really creepy rape fantasy vibe. The "Looks like you're... Fucked" line actually seems like it fits with 3d realms humour especially 90's Shadow Warrior.

      @@kinganarkzie While duke is not well written, he does have a clear character. He is your average 80s muscleman badass action hero. But then everything is ramped up to the point of ridicule, and everyone pretends he's awesome while he really is a shallow guy. They couldve fixed the hive level easily, duke comes in, mows down the aliens and frees the women and tells them to get out of there. Then he gets to the twins, breaks them out, and they are too weakened to walk on their own. So duke is like "yeah im not leaving any babes behind" stacks them on his shoulder and holds them in place with one arm, while the other hand is free to gun down aliens. That way you have a perfect duke moment, two hot girls (or at least thats what they are supposed to be i guess) in one hand, a big gun in the other.

      ​@@anonvideo738 I like your version of the Hive better than what we got but it further highlights my point, in Duke 3D he never did anything like what you're describing. Every woman he came across he either killed or gave them money to show him their boobs. We are each filling in the blanks in our head about how affected he was by these interactions, maybe he was torn up about having to kill them or maybe he just thought "well that's another girl I wont get a chance to fuck". I reckon the developers probably never gave much thought to it, it was all about what was cool in the moment.
      If they make another Duke game I would like them to go in the direction you have described, pistol fire being able to explode cars, explosions being escable by simply running and jump in the other direction maybe even triggering slow motion, Duke having to answer to an angry police chief etc. A real 80's action movie send up.
