You know what, i find Duke Nukem to be an offensive male stereotype, see i can complain too, can i be on opera now? what about fox news?
Gearbox Wants Female Duke Nukem Game
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
I give my approval, go fourth and make it Gearbox (if you do I'm sure you'll win march mayhem next year... Unless you screw it up.)
Hmmm, female Duke Nukem.....
Catherine Strater!
A head strong, hot headed chick with the athletic build of Wonder Woman, the skin of Farah from POP, the face of Ramona flowers, the voice of Catalina from May Name is Earl, Book of Eli sungalsses and the hair of Lisa Foiles whenever she does that washed-up-guitar-player skit. And Leather. Lots of leather: Pants, cowboy boots, vest, jacket and freaking fingerless gloves.
She runs and guns like Pain Killer on speed, bouncing off of walls like the Prince of Persia and diving and sliding all over the place like Taquila Yuen with an extra bucket of glaze coated on his pants. Rocking an assortment of fire-arms, as well as knives, she can run and jump up the leg and body of a 30 ft human-triceratops, straddle his neck, punch the shit out of him and stab him in the face like Kratos with premenstrual tension. And if the health is a little low after that, run over to the mid-level medical cabinet, open it, grab the health packs, throw them away, close the cabinet again, and slowly regain your health as you admire your own reflection.
Back at the resistance base, both the guys and girls fawn over her awesomeness. The men cherish her like a bunch of love sick puppy dogs that she brushes aside. The women shower her with complements, like "How do manage to mutilate so many alien in one day and still find time to look so radiant", or "Those alien scum will never get you because your boobs are too big". They answer to her every call, as she uses one hand to command the girls to get her an order of cheese-nachos and red-wine, and the over to force two guys to make out for her amusement.
Oh by the way, that's - Cat Strater.

I'd be the first one to buy the game if it was to be made. Maybe a good idea for a DLC maybe?
EDIT: Now that I think about it, Revy from Black Lagoon is the closest thing to a female Duke that I know:

Because generally speaking, men can take a joke. Women cannot. That is a broad generalization, yes. But it's a TRUE broad generalization and everyone knows it.SirBryghtside said:
Even if they made a jocular Daisy Nukem game, Male gamers would play it and have laugh. Most Female gamers will probably do the same. Feminists and FOX NEWS will cook up exactly the same amount of controversy all over again, claiming "Negative Stereotyping Derp!", even thought that is EXACTLY what Duke is, and no-one seems too upset about that....
I like how he's completely right about that, but no one is going to listen. Still buying this game, though.
And I know I can't be the only one who kept reading his name as "Pitchfork."

Daisy Rackem is a platinum blond bomb shell with fair sized breasts (somewhere around a C-cup to just edging in to D-cup), voluptuous curves and a look that could make a man cream his pants. Of course, who says you can't save the world and look good doing it, wearing evening gowns, cocktail dresses and blouse/short skirt combos to accessorize appropriately for the end of the world. Her only weapon is her prized Service-Six (or other appropriately small pistol) aptly named "Fatale". The footwear worn by Daisy come in two styles: kitty or stiletto style high heel shoes, dependant on what exactly she's wearing at the time.Tom Goldman said:
Her backstory is a simple one, much like her male counter part. During the first comings of aliens in the universe, a simple cocktail waitress named Daisy Rackem was forced into action. Surprisingly, kicking alien ass seemed to be a much more appropriate calling than waiting tables or that masters degree she had been working on (using the wages from her job to fund it). The 22 year-old woman then sets out, using her extreme intelligence, wit and seductive prowess to plow through wave after wave of pig alien scum.
Her weapons in games are as follows:
Her Mind- Daisy is a smart cookie. Unlike Duke, she uses her head as her primary weapon. The game would support a sort of context sensitive highlighting system that would point out objects you can interact with. From hanging signs to destructable walls to gas tanks you can explode, Daisy would use her environment to her advanatge to kill her opponents. You can't use a man if you're dumber than him, after all.
Her Body- This is a bit of a three fold weapon. First and foremost, Daisy is increadibly athletic. She can run parkour style through levels to either escape fights or draw enemies into a more advantegous spot to kill them in (near environemental hazzards). It would work similar to Mirror's Edge and would highlight in a different colour than destructables, but only while holding a "run" button.
The second is her sexual appeal. Because of her looks, Daisy can get men to do pretty much anything for her that she desires. As such, the game would boast many, many soliders that you can coax into fighting for you. This would be sort of like a power that you trigger similarly to a plasmid in BioShock. Every man in an area around you will instanly do whatever they can to aid Daisy, giving them game a somewhat RTS feel as you manage your love slaves. this would upgrade as you progress, unlocking things like attack helicopters and bombing runs you could "call in" as a favour for a helpless little girl.
The third, and probably least effective, method is Daisy's patent "heel to toe" axe kick. Daisy lifts her leg up, giving whomever she's going to be flattening soon a nice panty shot (to confuse, of course) before smashing them with both her heel and then toe. The only issue is that this gives a chance to damage the heels on her shoes, and increases the chance with each consecutive kick without pausing. When Daisy's heels break, it hobbles her, slowing her run speed and rendering the kick unusable until she can find the appropriate power-up (random shoes lying aorund, a shoe store, etc etc).
Service-Six "Fatale"- If all else fails, she does still ahve her gun, Fatale, to get her out of any tough scrapes. Aimed shots would be prefered, hindering enemies by shooting out legs or arms, or conserving ammo by using headhsots. Fatale would alos be instrumental in using destructable environment hazzards to kill many aliens by shooting out cables, rickety brakets or locks and explosive barrels. Just remember: it's not how big it is, it's how you use it.
Names for titles:
Daisy Rackem: Weapons of Mass Seduction
Daisy Rackem II: The ***** is Back
Daisy Rackem III: A Tale of Two Kitties (where in you play as Daisy or her twin sister Rose)
And the final game, in which Duke and Daisy meet up:
Daisy & Duke: Battle of the Sexes
Expect these titles to hit shelves whenever Gearbox decides to hire me! =P
On the topic of the spoiler, yes, I am aware, and something tells me if there's a season two, they're just gonna completely ignore it. I mean, Gainax IS the studio behind it and they're known for trolling their fans like that.KafkaOffTheBeach said:

Well played Gearbox,well played and accurate.
You know,it's kind of funny seeing people like Shelby and Fox News jump hurdles like this over a character that couldn't have a larger ego without it outweighing the universe in size and weight,it's like watching people scream at a chicken to stop laying eggs despite it being in the chicken's nature.On the note of a female Duke Nukem,I think HellsingerAngel might be on to something,it makes enough sense that Duke's polar opposite on the chromosome spectrum would use flirtation and wits to kill aliens instead of massive amounts of guns and jetpack.

What the hell it means is beyond me.
