    Man, would a Duke Nukem game but with extremely progressive values not absolutely fucking slap? Like you have all of his douchey cheesy lines but the game is just overtly leftist. If anyone knows of anything like this please let me know, game or movie or whatever.

      i don’t think it should be overtly leftist, not at the start at least.

      It should be a slightly older Duke who realized he was a bit of an ass in the past, who now makes an effort to respect everyone and not offend people who haven’t done anything wrong, but he struggles with it and often has to apologize and even then he always ends up making yet another slip that he doesn’t catch.

      Then throughout the game he realizes that neonazis are taking over and he goes from unknowingly playing into their hands, to horrified, to angry and fighting back with the vibe of a stereotypical “dad who doesn’t like the boy courting his daughter” vibe, constantly insulting the fascist goons like he did in the past.

      Uhh probably Slayers X is the closest you’ll get to that.

      But honestly Duke Nukem is a king, he just wants to save the babes.
