Piranha games duke nukem forever movie#
Yes, Duke is supposedly Earth's unwilling savior, and yes I do absolutely want to commit the violence with his arsenal of comical weapons 80s action movie hero-style, but these orations from Duke lead to a real tone shift that I just don't think works. What's also ugly are many of Duke's one-liners in this game, which alongside a series of macho grunts, often lead to just crude, unfunny insults, a good example being, "Eat shit and die!" There's no charm or wit and the result is degrading to the character when repeated over and over, with a seemingly psychopathic Duke reveling in bringing murder and death to everything that stands in his way, and getting off on it. But in DNF it's nothing but poor, degrading depictions, and that makes it all feel, well, more than a little tasteless and Leisure Suite Larry sleazy.Ĭertain weapons, like the shotgun, feel better to use than others and are more fun. Yes, fine, we all know that Duke is a ladies' man in his world and it's part of his alpha dog schtick that he's always chasing after them and many are also irresistibly enamoured of him (as too are most of the men!), so I've got no problem with showing that.
DNF is far from the only video game where this is an issue, sure, with the incredibly poor depictions of almost all female story characters in GTA V springing to mind, but still, here it is really, really marked. It would have been a great way to ground the tone as satire, not the superhero worship the game, consciously or not, mistakenly descends into.
You save this woman who is trapped with you in a falling elevator lift and, after screaming for her life, she instantly responds once saved with, "I'll go down with you any time".
