Pretty much everyone always goes with the idea that Duke has been forgotten and has to recover his place in the world. True to life, yes but too obvious. Plus this isn't a character with any worthwhile introspection. It worked for BJ just because he barely had a defined character to begin with so the whole tired warrior ended up working well.
If anything it should be more of a Doom 2016 situation where Duke has been captured for years, aliens have taken over Earth and once he's released he takes back the planet, making all the usual adoration the NPC's give him actually justifiable.

that is okay anon, just as some poor kid in Africa was born just to die of hunger after some years after being born, some people are made to never feel the touch of woman and live their lives alone till the day the die, or maybe you are not suppose to ever get to fuck some young cute girl, but instead settle with some 40-50 hag that you will probably accept because you are so desperate for female touch and feel some slight relieve before dying.
