Dante's Inferno: Rated M for Floppy Demon Wang

[Sennz0r]

Dante's Inferno got an M rating. Shocking. Utterly and completely perplexing. I did not see this coming in a million years. Nop. I'm stunned I swear.


Next thing you know Australia will be banning it...


... Nah, that's just crazy talk, it'll never happen.

Nah Atkinson just loves this kind of shit, just you wait and see, he'll become an instant fan

It's so insanely vulgar it's become acceptable to even him. I mean L4D2's violence is far too real, but Dante's Inferno is so over the top that no one would ever take that seriously.

Right?

I dunno, this might *just* squeak by Mr Atkinson simply on the basis that you're killing demons and you are already in Hell. (And if Mr Atkinson is a bit of a fundie, then he'd probably be quite partial to a bit of demon killing.)

For Australia's sake, I hope so

I'm pretty sure it's already past the censors, so I think we're fine.

See, jokes aside, I'm really confused by that. How is it that a game filled with large amounts of gore and nudity make it past the censors, when Fallout 3 almost didn't make it

As said above- obviously not reality, a twisted representation of reality. It's about impact, not particular imagery.

This entire thread has been ninja'd... sorry.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.163162?page=4#4213809

For (unfortunately not) the last time: Forum threads have absolutely no bearing on what we post on the front page of the site. Many people come to the site and don't read the forums at all. Just because it gets posted in the News Room forum does not make this a forum thread, it makes it a news post.

Um... sorry? I was just joking, you know. Cause people are always saying things like "MOTHERF*CKING SEARCH BAR!", I just found it funny that this was a repeat thread(kinda).

So, sorry, I guess. No hard feelings, right?

*tries to get back on Mr.Funk's good side*

It's all right. It's a pet peeve of a LOT of the news-writing staff, because we get people who do it seriously more often than you'd think.

Well there was no surprise that there will be boobs in the game, but game developers are bringing the penis back now, thats a plus.

--EDIT--
Also if I may add, why is it when a game has topless naked females everyone is like oh thats ok nothing wrong with that. But if a penis shows up then everyone screams foul and theres a big unnecessary conversation about it. Do people really hate the penis that much?

 

[Easily_Forgettable]

According to the Australian Playstation Store at very least the demo has been classified MA+15, the highest possible rating. So we Aussies may yet have our floppy demon wang.

Also I'd like to add that I find alot of these posts that just say something along the lines of 'This wont pass in Australia' that don't add anything to the discussion really annoying. But I guess some of them are warranted.

 

[Jory]

Even if this is done with the utmost maturity, gamers on the whole are not mature. I sure as hell know that as soon as some guy comes at me waving his johnson around, I'm going to be in fits of laughter before you can say meatspin

 

[Noone From Nowhere]

Babies coming from nipples but there are no vaginas to be seen (yet more penis)?
I blame the public school systems around the world for their poor sex education.

 

[Gildedtongue]

Demon wang, full frontal boob shots, tenticles, undead babies, huge amounts of blood... this game sounds like it was made by dev's with a variety of strange fetishes.

I think it goes:
Normal people
Megan Foxx fans
Penthouse pre-1980 connoisseurs
Furries
BDSM enthusiasts
Anime Fans
Tyrone Walker
Dante's Inferno Dev team

 

[Beastialman]

I'm all for creating a game sequel to a popular game franchise that makes people really squeamish and uncomfortable. They need more dongs in games. Like that one level in Metal Gear Solid.

In fact, new rule for me, you have to have at least five seconds of penis on screen (collectively) to get a perfect score.

 

[dalek sec]

As I said before: "as long as it's not overly immature within context, I don't have a problem with it"

This for me as well, that and the controls don't suck.

 

[Ghonzor]

For those wondering if it will get through in Australia, both of you, it seems it's already been rated MA15+ here.

Wow...do they know about all of this?
Or does the Australian gov't enjoy being hypocritical?

 

[Malevolent Stranger]

Why do I have the feeling this won't be reviewed on Zero Punctuation? ZING!

Of course he'll review it, but instead of the ZP theme, we'll get rickroll'd.

 

[Eatbrainz]

This may well be the first game ever to show Teetees

Also, it seems that one of the bosses will use the same tactic as Dr. Manhattan: Scare your foes wth your GIGANTOPENIS!

 

[SantoUno]

Meaning that yes, there will be a boss battle against a demon whose Jimmyjangles is flopping all over the place. Because anybody can make a game with tits, but it takes a real man to make a game with an animated, dangling Sir Weinerhoffer.

This is just pure awesome.

I really gotta try this game now, maybe I'll even buy it if it is well-received.

 

[Loves2spooge]

They sell Floppy Demon Wang at my local Chinese Takeaway.

I couldn't help it again, but you deserve a medal for that hilariously stereotypical line. Kudos sir, you made my night.

You're quite welcome, and I hope for my self-esteem's sake that was genuine.

 

[Xvito]

Is it that hard to write "Penis"?

Penis is a dirty word. We try to be more proper than that here at the escapist.

Oh for the love of... "Penis" is the medical term for fucks sake...

Please, if you're going to be snarky, at least do it right...
