If I were to compare the strong points of Duke vs. Quake

Duke had:
-More unconventional weapons
-REALLY intricate monster abilities
-Interactive environments
-Colorful level design that doubled as believable settings (mostly)
-A really satisfying shotgun
-An inventory of helpful items for added depth
-Specifically, the Jetpack
-Great boss battles
-Pop culture references
-A sense of humor
-Boobs

Quake had:
-Streamlined , more arcadey experience/ fast pace
-More straightforward weapons designed to be less gimmicky
-Simple enemies
-Great unique, brooding atmosphere with a cross of Sci-fi and fantasy
-Powerups all activate on grabbing, no micromanaging
-Rocket jumping and other exploitative tricks
-Quad Damage
-Monster in-fighting

They really are whole different beasts. I have cravings to play both at different times because their opposing takes on FPS work towards that game's strengths.
