Another trend - good guys going bad, which I had covered in an earlier thread.
1. Ryu Hayabusa had to rescue his brainwashed father in the Original Trilogy.
2. Ryu went on a Dark Hadou Trip
3. Ken became a Shadowlaw stooge
4. Kyo had to rescue his brainwashed father
5. Half of the Mortal Kombat cast went bad following Deadly Alliance
6. Kyle Travers had to rescue his Glow-happy older brother
7. Cammy White was a Shadowlaw assassin before hooking up with Delta Red...although she did it in reverse given how Street Fighter was released.
8. Jill Valentine went blonde and kicked Chris Redfield's ass to the moon.
You think Wesker was the first person to come up with that seven-minute rule in RE5? He got the idea from the Sega classic The Revenge of Shinobi, in which Joe Musashi has to kill the last boss before his old lady gets squashed by the descending ceiling.
And God of War was the first game to come up with the context-sensitive minigames.

Duke Nukem never had sex with Lara. Just some fanboy wish.
Kratos done it with 4 hotties (2 in GoW, another 2 in GoW2).. not to mention hundreds more when he was the Ghost of Sparta.
Kratos doesn't give a flying f*** even if you're a King...
he doesn't give a damn about gold and riches..
If he wants you dead, you better be ready. Nothing's more bada$$ than that.

You didn't see my Operation: Repopulation vid where he has sex with every chick on the planet?
Duke is the King and he has unlimited amounts of money. Those alien bastards better pay for shooting up his ride, and it is time to kickass and chew bubble gum, and he's all out of gum.
Plus he kicks the ass out of the Ventrillo WOW nerds. 😈
Kratos ain't that cool yet.

Like I said, Kratos don't even give a damn about money.
He kills helpless people casually throughout the game.. man, woman or child..
Duke Nukem isn't man enough to do that.
Originally posted by AsbestosFlaygonDuke has infinite amounts of money for no reason at all, that's cool.
Money? Haha.
That's the least most important factor of 'cool'.Like I said, Kratos don't even give a damn about money.

Duke Nukem isn't man enough to do that.
Kratos is a bum of course he doesn't need it. 😛 Not that Duke does either.
Killing children is cool? Duke has killed women, when he needs to. Doesn't do it often as he uses them for the real purpose. Kratos couldn't get anyone to sleep with him without force. 😛 Duke kills giant badasses with missles attached to them and has access WMD's.
Of course there is Duke Talk.
He's even the man in rendering.
Most people don't know about this, but Capcom released a NES game called Sweet Home, which Resident Evil 1 was inspired from (i.e., the mansion, multiple endings, etc...)
Metroid - first game that allowed open exploration (a formula later followed by The Legend of Zelda, Castlevania: SotN and every other RPG)
Some more firsts:
Kim Kaphwan - First TKD fighter.
Mai Shiranui - The ORIGINAL bouncy kunoichi. Respect!
Richard Meyer (Fatal Fury) - First Capoeira fighter.
Elena - First female Capoeira fighter
Lei Wulong - First fighter based off of Jackie Chan
Ryu and Ken also perfected the rivalry, a trend seen in many videogames.
And as I've said in a separate thread, Wolfenstein 3D was the grandaddy of first-person shooters. Without Wolfenstein, there would be no Doom, no Halo, no Call of Duty, and no Duke Nukem.
I've also checked out the Duke Nukem-Kratos debate on this form, and as much as I like Duke, IMO, Kratos holds the advantage.
1. He's Spartan, possibly the hardest Spartan this side of Leonidas.
2. He's been killed twice (via impalement) by his half brother and father, and came back from Hades.
3. Hacked and slashed his way through Hades on three separate occasions.
4. Saved the world from a spiteful Goddess and her Titan sidekick (Persephone and Atlas) at the cost of losing his own daughter.
5. Became a God (he probably boned Aphrodite before invading Rhodes).
6. Killed two gods (Athena inadvertantly) and is now taking a shot a Zeus's title.
7. Survived Pandora's Temple (which is a b!tch on God Mode) and the Island of the Fates (which is even worse on Titan Mode), and changed his own fate.
8. Took down Greek mythology's most memorable monsters and heroes...and landmarks (The Hydra, Perseus, Theseus, The Colossus of Rhodes)
Kratos is a lot like Conan when it comes to women - he is pretty much like 'Let me kill these minotaurs and then we'll screw,' and the women in the GoW universe pretty much swoon over stuff like that.
Of course, we all know that Zeus is the pimp of pimps.

He saved the entire planet several times doing missions above water, and in the sky. Has access to an arsneal of normal and alien tech, including wmd's and molecule altering guns, along with a jetpack and can simply use roids for a powerup.
Gods and all of that aren't as big as a deal in fiction as they are in real life. Take the ones in Marvel and MK, they get trounced all of the time. Duke takes a lot more than impalement to kill.
He saved Earth AND space, the west, medieval times, *and* Rome (closest to Kratos' time). Kratos could never claim to that. I do like both characters though.
