The interactivity was really great and I always appreciated the little raunchiness the game had with the strippers and the porn theaters etc. It was authentic and appropriately 'seedy'.

Lunar Apocalypse is a bit of a downer because it's set in space stations and alien locales but they kinda play with some sci-fi tropes and references.

Also, Shrapnel City and The Birth return to form and have a bunch of very good, very lived-in style locations.

Duke Caribbean was also a fun experience, but Duke it Out in DC was booooring (sadly).

World Tour's episode was pretty solid even if they could've done more country specific easter eggs and gags imho.

It's about how you execute, not what you're working with. And DNF had plenty of good settings, though it was at it's best when it was in locations Duke could riff on more (and had women for sex jokes and damsel-in-distress kinda situations)

>Time to Kill and Zero Hour

I wish those games and Land of the Babes had been re-made in the latter half of the 360 gen so we could've had the best tech without sacrificing the Duke style to the censorship attitudes, a third person time traveling Duke game with unapologetic attitude could've been really good.

>This is something that always stuck out to me about Duke3D as a kid
Yeah, I remember playing Shadow Warrior and Duke Nukem 3d demos and being almost blown away at like "holy shit it's like the real world" compared to Wolfenstein or DOOM. Like the interactivity of Duke Nukem 3d levels, pissing into toilets giving money to strippers, the interactive pool table at Red Light District, the car driving around in the first level of Redneck Rampage and the "city street" of Seppuku Station in SW... Good shit.

>I almost always include some real world anachronism to my maps (like a bed, toilet, comfy chair, or television.)
Godspeed, this makes maps turbo comfy imo. Also one of the reasons I couldn't really get into some shooters, if the maps felt "lifeless".

I love Ion Fury but I would like more coomer stuff in it. But over all I think I will love Ion Fury Aftershock.

Someone PLS make a mod to turn the blood red instead of this faggy pink puff shit.

>regenerating like a console shooter
Health regen in the "bloody screen so real" way was mostly during the later 00s because of Modern Warfare clones, and PC shooters were equally guilty of that shit.
But tourists always want to push that anti-console angle even when consoles had a bunch of real classic FPS games.

Down on your knees and bark like a dog!

Duke Nukem is a tough cookie to do anything with especially in the modern day. He's so 1990s that it's hard to do anything with Duke's character that either doesn't offend the snowflakes or make people feel like Duke's character is ruined.

Playing through Duke 3d episodes lately has been quite a ride because Duke Nukem feels in a charming way something that was invented by The Simpsons. He's so unashamedly corny and takes a literal shit down an alien's neck. The soulful 1990s references like all the old movie references and Unabomber, Oj Dimpson etc etc just make him and Duke franchise a product of it's time that would be extremely hard to bring to modern day.
Also it doesn't help that Duke Nukem franchise has had more stinkers than good games and most of the good games have been the various releases of Duke Nukem 3d. And I think Manhattan Project was serviceable.
DNF being uh oh stinky pile of mediocrity basically sealed the deal for Douk sadly.

Did I imply all TCs / WADs need to be 'edgy to be good'?
No.
But just saying it greatly limits the range of what people can do. Hell, the BUILD GENRE CLASSICS are charming as they are because of the ''problematic'' content like the anime girls of Shadow Warrior or Lo Wang's comments.
Obv SoiWorld is a private run entity so they have the right to run their site down but I definitely don't agree with the sentiments the site is running with.

I wish I could take screenshots of Shadow Warrior but that game doesn't like alt tabbing out of it and I'm not really feeling like downloading fraps just to take screenshots of anime tiddies...

Ohhh......ohh my.....
