This joke probably would have been a lot funnier if Forever didn't also use the Regenerating Health and Limited Loadout systems that Halo popularised, much less have that joke lead into a level that's only a splash or two of orange away from looking and playing exactly like Halo 2's New Mombasa levels. For example, there is a gag involving Duke insulting the Master Chief, proudly proclaiming that "power armor is for pussies". DNF, however, tried to deliver Take Thats to games that it was outright copying, while bringing very little to the table gameplay-wise. The Take Thats worked back then because 3D was a genuinely innovative game that improved on Doom's formula and managed to become a similar inspiration for many later games, so a bit of gloating didn't feel undeserved. Another heavily-criticized element of DNF's humor, the Take Thats to other franchises and the pop culture references, also hail from 3D.If anything, he'd become more unlikable, with the elements that had been played for parody in Duke Nukem 3D played straight in Forever. In the following fifteen years, however, many shooter games had been released featuring extremely fleshed-out and likable protagonists, and Duke hadn't evolved at all. Furthermore, Duke was intended as a parody of the Hollywood Action Hero archetype his one-liners were taken from popular action films of The '80s, and his character flaws were blown up to comical proportions. Back in the days of Duke Nukem 3D, though, Duke had still been a pretty unlikeable person, but he was lauded for the fact that he had a personality at all, compared to non- characters like the Doomguy or BJ Blazkowicz. One of the biggest criticisms of Duke Nukem Forever was the character of Duke himself, who many reviewers described as a repulsively unlikable person.You'll likely learn to eliminate these soldiers with haste as they can quickly do the same to you. They also move relatively fast, allowing them to be at point blank range quickly if you don't engage them immediately and take them down. The Enforcers are aliens armed with Chaingun Cannons/Rippers and their damage rate is about as dangerous as you'd expect.Thankfully, they go down with only one shotgun blast, but expect to do lots of Save Scumming. The Inflatable Sea Monsters in Duke Caribbean relentlessly barrage you with missiles the millisecond you come into sight, usually from around a corner and with absolutely no warning.Paris Manson from 20th Anniversary Edition is a brilliant tune, which according to the composer was originally an experiment in "french bistro music for accordions".Here's the theme for Shop 'n' Bag from the Atomic Edition, which is basically a smoother, more jazzy version of the main theme.The main theme, "Grabbag", to the point that even Megadeth covered it.
So long as you keep moving and stay at a distance, he basically can't touch you. The Cycloid Emperor is in a similar category to the Overlord.
