Duke Nukem Forever gets dissed!!

[Yenji]

This is still going on?!?!

Duke's not a parody, Duke's fun, Duke's a game, he's a joke, not "What a pathetic dork" kinda joke, a "We're not even trying to be serious, this is perty cool huh?" type joke.
Saying that duke almost doesn't qualify as a parody because aliens abduct people just like every other Sci-Fi movie is rediculous, talk about striping duke down to nothing. Duke isn't just people getting abducted, he's about witty one-liners action hero style, he's about whuppin ass and not takin no shit, he's about shooting the aliens that abducted people in the first place, and above all, DUKE IS ASH!!

... oh wait.. I lost my train of thought...

no.. Duke's not ASH... (oops)
Basicly what I'm trying to say is... this thread is WAY TO DAMN LONG NOW and everybody that's too stupid to see the writing on the wall has already sided with whomever they want ANYWAY, so it's pointless to have this thread around... please PLEASE DELETE IT!!!
Thank you

Man... I'm starting to seriously think that we're the reason DNF is taking so long

Can't imagine how long Charlie took to write two extremely long posts!! Disbelievers beware: once you get Charlie on your back, you'll wish he were only a sumo wrestler...

On my anniversaries, I like to recreate my first date. On my birthdates, I like to recreate my first birth. But my mom just doesn't seem to find that romantic.

i think Bruce Campbell fans are getting to upity, I think 3d realms should just make duke and ash fan, see my thread DUKE AND ASH.

It would stop the fighting, earn duke a couple of cool points in my book, and make everybody happy. The problem is you cant parody lines really. Look at the 4 lines parodied in duke, how many one liners does ash have? not alot. Thats a good majority of the one liner material used. I think Bruce has never gotten the full story, i think 3d realms doesnt want to open the ugly door. Good bandage, make duke an ash fan everyone knows Bruce is very fan friendly.

On my own time after work.

The thread should be closed. Should anyone ask about us ripping off anything else again... we finally have all the information there to pull from for the next time.

Every single counter point someone has tried to raise since the last post was addressed in the original posts. No point answering them yet again.

Except for one. David, just because someone doesn't get a reference to a parody doesn't mean it's not a parody. If I had never seen Jeapordy before, I wouldn't get the SNL reference. I hadn't seen "The Graduate" before I saw "Wayne's World" so I didn't have a clue that the parody in the wedding sequence was even a parody, but I still thought it was funny. When I saw "The Graduate" finally I couldn't stop laughing when I realized what I was seeing.

Just because those guys don't know who Bruce Campbell is doesn't mean the usage of the lines is any less of a parody or reference to the original source.

If anyone has a specific question they want answered because they couldn't find or extract the info they wanted out of the earlier explanations, go ahead and email me. It will make it easier as I can focus on the specific issue rather than trying to hit each part.

The people who don't understand the real deal of this subject yet never will, so no point going on anymore. Everything that 3DR could possibly say is out there for those who care to take the time to absorb and understand, to do so.

The rest, they can just stay pissed off and forget what games and all other forms of entertainment are for. It's depressing to see people take this stuff more seriously than the people who's lives depend on it.

I was just thinking that if Duke Nukem's level of borrowed material is illegal then they should lock up Wierd Al Yankovik and throw away the key. Actually they should do that anyway, not for his songs, but just because that man is a lunatic!

Duke is a parody....more of a carricature of action movies and the like. I mean, c'mon! You coudn't possibly have taken the storyline of that game seriously.

"Aliens come to Earth, kidnap the women to breed and mutate the LAPD to Pigs??!!"

That is a p-a-r-o-d-y, my friend.

Anywayz....PschoGoatee asked me about the Evil Dead game....Just head over to IGN.com and look in their Playstation preview index. Or you might find a link to it from the very interview that started this thread. It's called "Evil Dead: Ashes 2 Ashes"

Thread closed due to the fact that it's run it's course, and there's nothing else to say about it.

However, I am archiving it - check out the "Duke Nukem Stuff" archive. This way it won't get deleted once this message gets old. The stuff in here is too good to lose.
