Duke Nukem Forever Rated "M" For Immature

[SilverUchiha]

If this game gets released and played without any controversy then I will not be able to express my shock.

You might want to start work on a system to cope with your shock just in case. Okay I'm sorry that was bad.

I was thinking the exact same thing, maybe with different wording.

OT: As bad as everyone assumes this game will be, I still want to check it out. It's fuckin Duke! Regardless, I assume Fox will not let this pass by their poorly established newsteams and off-the-corner psychiatrist advice.

First of all: Definitely.

2ndly this kind of humor, this kind of raunch IS Duke Nukem. That *IS* living up to it's namesake. Are you that much of a prude you can't enjoy tongue and cheek humor throw back to 90's?

I don't have any hype for this game save what I've seen in the trailers. The campaign looks fun and different from the plethora of shooters on the market right now. The only thing that worries me is how the controls will be, beyond that I can't see how this will fail.

First off, I've been spelling it wrong all my life then, so thanks for the correction. No sarcasm intended, I'm grateful.

Second, No, I'm not a prude, so don't be an arsehole and call me one. I was not raised in the 90s. I am 15. I was 5 years old when the nineties ended. The only thing I remember before the age of 8 is a breif bit of my fifth birthday party, so I apologise if I don't really get tongue-in-cheeck-90s humour. It doesn't make me a prude for not enjoying things other people enjoy. I just don't find the stuff I've seen in Duke Nukem Forever so far funny in any way.

I think it will, initially, be a success. It'll make a shitload from the build-up, and get good reviews from people who want the change from the typical modern shooter, and/or wanted Duke back and have been waiting over a decade. I just think it'll be underwhelming for people like me, who have not really played Duke at all, and have grown up around more serious shooters of recent years, like Call of Duty and Halo to name a few.

On a side note, I'm loving the shit out of Bulletstorm.
Feed guys to plants. Feed explosives to plants. Wrap explosive around guy, feed him to plant. DOUBLE POINTS.

It doesn't appeal to me either. I just accept it as a game that appeals to others, and leave it at that.

Unfortunately, barely anyone else seems to follow this philosophy...

*Predicts 'get off your high horse!'-esque rebuke*

[colour=white] Mispredicted! [/colour]

I accept that it appeals to others, I just fail to see how.
Like I said in answer to SaneAmongInsane above me, I guess I just wasn't raised around that kind of humour. Or I just don't find it funny.

I'm fine to let other people like it, and in my original post I never attacked anyone else on this forum's opinion, I merely stated mine.

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg!!

I can't wait for this game to release, I want!!!!!

 

[MazzaTheFirst]

Good to know the game has a sense of humour and is running with it. I like my realistic games, I like my cartoonish games. Need a few more on the cartoonish side I say.

I'm sorry, but Duke Nukem getting an M rating is surprising...how?

 

[ayvee]

Oh hey. It's like every reason why I don't want to play this game on one convenient list.

There's immaturity, then this. How fucking ridiculous.
I'm definately not getting this, and I stand by my prediction in a post I did a couple of weeks ago that Duke will simply not live up to the hype. Either that, or it will, and then everyone'll sort of sober up from the 15-year-long hype and then realise it's a shit game. Which I think it will be. Go on Duke, prove me wrong, with your mediocre graphics, stupidly simple gameplay and less maturity than a 7-year-old.

No offense, but can you at least wait for say, a trailer, at the least, before you slate on it?

OT:

Preordered the balls of steel edition today. Fuck yeah, the king is back.

 

[Logic 0]

Good to see duke will be blowing minds with his dry wit and sophisticated sense of humour.

 

[wildpeaks]

And I was hoping for "Rated M for Manly", aww

 

[Jegsimmons]

im not going to say much except this game looks extremely stupid, now there are game like GTA4 that have similar stuff, but it doesnt THRIVE off of it. now this is just my opinion, but Duke was stupid in 97 and its stll stupid now.

 

[Lord Kloo]

I don't see why they're worried about the bits in which Duke can urinate from 1st person.. Every man on Earth wakes up and has that perspective every single day.. and probably women too although I'm not sure of the angle.. I'll shut up now..
And we all know that we played with your poop as children, if you didn't you had very attentive parents..

OT: can't wait for the awesomeness of Duke to release himself upon us.. although I still probably won't get it as my bank hates me and will give my money to the tax man if I try to buy anything..

EDIT: To all those skeptics out there who say duke is immature, you just have to compare the game to something that is immature but we all regard it as still good and funny, like say, the Simpsons..

also what,s this kind of captcha?

Do you prefer this one ? :-D

See, what you don't understand is that the game is a parody of itself; it's supposed to be violent, sexist, and immature. That's its charm; it's the "Grindhouse double feature" of video games.

That's why I'm getting it: it's rated M for Manly.

Where did you get the idea that I'd never seen a trailer before?
I watched the E3 reveal demo, or, I dunno, some game event, think it was E3 though, and I watched a recent trailer.

I have watched a trailer and a gameplay demo, and I am 'slating' it on that, and everything else I've heard.

Ugh, as i wrote it I was thinking "I bet there was a trailer and I missed it".

Seems like I was right. Fuck, nevermind then.
