![]() He's never been without controversy of some kind. Their presence was more of an insult to injury than all of Duke's attitude in that game. TBH I was glad to be rid of them: if anyone has terrible voice acting/lines, it's the Holsom twins. Maybe not a tasteful one in the eyes of the beholder, but it wasn't like he wished death upon them either. Was it unforgivable that you could KILL hookers in 3D? You didn't have to kill them, and you don't have to kill them in this game. Like I said, what Duke said was.well sort of true. I fail to see how that line caused people to boycott the game, other issues notwithstanding. The tone is not completely the same as is with other one-liners in the game. The question is a joke by who, by just the writer or both writer and Duke. Yeah, the second line takes some of the insult away from the injury. Then there would be no argument, he really would be irredeemable. ![]() ![]() The humor just wasn't on par for a game released at the time.Īt least there's that.Well thank *bleep*ing god he didn't. Duke could've said something worse like, "Serves them right for cheating" or something, but he didn't. It's a videogame, an outdated one, maybe it was more appropriate when the game was designed at a much earlier time. Maybe I have a realistic wall against that, but I was appalled that it became such a big deal in the first place. I thought the line was appropriate given the lines and context of the women themselves (you didn't find them annoying in the intro/etc)? If Duke didn't comment again then yeah, I'd be upset, but.he was clearly vengeful that it happened. Nothing about the initial line came off offensive to me in the slightest (technically, the statement is true). I didn't think this was a big deal - the second statement clearly states that Duke was pissed that it happened. Just what the *bleep* is up with that line? Is it REALLY meant to be a joke and a joke by the character, not just the writers making him say that line and by juxtaposition it becomes a "joke"? Was it just an expression of bemused surprise? What was it? I'm playing this game right now and of all the stuff to put up with, this is what bothers me to no end, so much that I stopped playing and I'm trying to find a way for myself not to declare Duke an irredeemable a-hole I never want to play again as.
