I'm facepalming at everyone getting all offended by it. Some people seriously have no sense of humor, or are too dim-witted to realise that their rants make them look like pretentious twats. Faith in humanity lost.
Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Exchanges Flags for "Babes"

That's kinda funny if you're doing it ironically I guess but all I can think of is the frat boy named Clay who thinks Duke Nukem Forever is finally a game that "tells it like it is."
The outrageous of this game draws me into it more and more, and I still feel like this is a big joke, or I'm dreaming or something, because this is the new age, this is the time of the media, this is where FPS games are all generic and dull, where RPGs take place in mid evil times or space, and horror games aren't actually psychological, but instead are meant to surprise you with creatures that are made of sewn together limbs in flicking, gray settings
That said, I'm exited for DNF, I'm pre-ordering the Balls of Steel Edition because I want that Bust, and I'll probably end up getting my hands on the older games when I have more income and less bills to pay.
The "slap" thing could be worse, they could be marketing the game to minors by saying "Mommy doesn't approve" of the game, or something else that EA has or will cook up for promotional videos.
Impossible to tell how the media will react, however, the game seems just as artistic as any movie could be, a satire of a genre, with crude stereotypes and being part of a franchise, call backs to the past. Anyone trying to argue the validity of the game can look at the horrible movies that are out that use sex appeal, language, and the popularity of Jackass movies (that are funny to myself) and have to tell me how watching and laughing at Jackass is any different than a game where you play as Duke Nukem

Meh, more than ten years to came with this idea. If at least the duke was disguised as a caveman, i still would find it offensive but i could categorize it as comedy.
The other modes are totally original... if you stopped playing fps when the original duke nukem came out... i mean the one from 1991 or more exactly if you never ever had played a fps before.
PS.: I know this game supposed to aim for some dumb fun but for me is looking like is going dumb dumb retarded regrettable region.

I'm going to love it if the "reassuring slap" turns out to be one of those "get your friend out of a drunken stupor" kinda slap (though I hope they don't take the Jamie Hyneman approach to the slap). Everyone's already condemning it without actually SEEING it and I love it. It might turn out that the "reassuring slap" might be the only realistic thing in the game! No one knows until either a screenshot of it appears, or people actually play the game.
How about Capture the Tits? Nah, Babe still sounds better to me...Distorted Stu said:
Well that's just stonking brilliant. They really work their best to take this game as far as it can go.
So... Why am I getting this feeling that a lot of the people who think this is offensive are... Americans?
I never really got the entire "OMG! YOU CAN'T LAUGH WITH THAT!" mentality. I mean... I'm handicapped, and I laugh with my situation all the time. If people make a joke about my wheelchair or some random joke about handicapped people, do I suddenly become mad at them? Hell no! I laugh just as much as the other people. So, what's the big problem with laughing with this?

humm... would it be too ofensive if the "mother Base" was a Kitchen and the Duke after setting the babe down, slapped her ass and told her to "go make me a sandwich"??
I think the game is going to be hilarious, but that sentence made me raise an eyebrow
beating women??, seriously??
Ok well in the game world all of the stupid nonsense is the norm. For example in the Duke-averse Las Vegas there is a hotel/casino called the "Felatio" a play on the name of our worlds Belagio. The humor comes from the fact that in the game world all of the sexism and other stuff that seems to offend you is taken seriously.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
