Duke Nukem 3D.... (Kids, view this thread for a bit of an education)

[QUOTE="ChocoKat"][QUOTE="Alkpaz"][QUOTE="ChocoKat"]

[QUOTE="EndersAres"]I found it to be great as a kid. Not so much these days though. I don't think Duke makes much of an action hero anymore like I used to think we was. I don't think he would be as popular now as much as he was back in those days.

Besides Halo's Master Chief, please name another FPS action hero. Let me do it for you... you can't.

Well I never even considered Gordon because I looked at him as a nerd in power suit. Sorry, you're not a hero, you're just a nerd in a suit. BJ, Doom Marine, Doom Soldier and Doom janitor are all the same type of guy in different locations.  They are comprised of no substance, no character, NO NOTHING.

Master Chief gained character from his cutscenes. The last Halo3 trailer alone showed how much of a badass he is.

Duke Nukem 3D

Brilliant level design right there. But... since when was Duke Nukem 3D actually 3D? Take a look.

Gordon is a nerd.. okay.. Adrian Shepard.. :P Barney Calhoun? -- Opposing Force and Blue Shift respectively

How aboout Kyle Kartan.. from Dark Forces I. A straight FPS made around the same time as Duke.. I think, if I remember correctly.. pre-Duke3D :)

Also, Duke was originally a side scrolling character.. Manhattan Project went back to that formula.. so based on your accounts.. Duke ISN'T really a FPS character but a side scroller.. and thus should be compared to other characters like Commander Keen :)

its kinda sad that we havent gotten that far in FPS games, only graphically. Duke 3D got me hooked on gaming and i still have my copy of the game and i tried the game again not to long ago and was actually stunned and how much stuff you could play around with in the environment, the interactivity in Duke 3D havent even been beaten yet in any fps game to date, prey had a small amount of that in the beginning of the game in the bar but that stuff went away when you got aboard the alien ship.

I actually did buy Halo 1 for PC though.. It was cool for a little while. But once i played it through i realized how much i hated it.Lukiko
