Duke Nukem Forever Rated "M" For Immature

[jawakiller]

YES!! Another immature game that all the "grown-ups" hate (please note; i'm referring to all of the people who feel themselves above crude or sexual jokes not actual adults as that would be hypocritical) Can I hear an amen... or, or not.

 

[Naheal]

Obligatory.

"I have hungry-you have big egg ro' for me, Duke."

I fucking love this!

 

[harvz]

im surprised that i can already pre-order this game, living in australia and all where itll probably end up with a "cant be classified" rating and essentially banned.

oh, and i bet fox news is going to have a field day

I'm quite surprised ESRB accepted it! Well the question now is will it actually release? reach other countries' censors.

Except for places like Australia and Germany, which outright forbid games to ship if they're too violent, the US is the only place where getting a high rating is the death knell for a game, due to the Wal-Mart ban and such. In most other countries it'll get the 18+ rating it deserves and just sell normally, since in these countries most highly violent games are 18+ anyway.

 

[crudus]

I get a suspicious feeling the ESRB are focusing on the worst (read: best) parts of the game.

Bulletstorm already turned me into a rapist, I'm not sure what poop throwing will do to me.

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.

Well mate, for those of us whose first exposure to the FPS genre was Duke Nukem games, you might forgive us for wanting a return to the kind of game were saving the world from aliens is FUN.

Both styles will have their place, under the right hand a game like CoD could be a tight, geo-political thriller in the cutscenes and stunning, balls to the wall gunfights in the gameplay.

But sometimes, you just wanna be the guy, who snaps off a one-liner while he blows away hordes of aliens with a giant blasty bollocks canon and saves hot chicks. This game is our A-Team: the protagonists having fun, is a good way to allow us to have fun.

How is it a parody? Well, for starters, Duke has an "Ego" meter, not a health bar. It's pretty much lampshading the fact that the only way any of this makes sense is by willing suspension of disbelief, even by the main character.

The trick to enjoying stupid stuff like this is to get over your own sense that you're "above" it. You aren't: everyone is an immature twelve-year-old deep down inside. Just relax and enjoy the goofy, tasteless fun.

For the last fucking time, I'm NOT "Above" it. I just don't find it funny. There is no way to make yourself find something funny, apart from removing a part of your brain in hoping it changes your personality. I never said I was 'above' it. I DO enjoy stupid stuff. Farting innapropriately makes me giggle. Other immature stuff does too.
But Duke Nukem does NOT. At all.
There's a difference between being 'above' something and just not finding it funny. Everyone has different tastes.

Finally, someone who hasn't accused me of being an arrogant prude, or is still convinced their is some way I can enjoy Duke.

Ok, I can understand why people want to play it.
I fully agree, both styles do have their place, and I've been (And still am) loving the absolute shit out of Bulletstorm.

I thing the game would have sold millions even with an 'AO' rating. Just saying.

 

[Borsk]

If any game should have an "if pigs could fly" reference it is this one.

 

[Awexsome]

I'm honestly suprised it didn't get an Adults Only rating. The last thing I remember getting that rating was GTA San Andres I think. And that was after the discovery of the "hot coffee" fiasco.

Looks like the line is actually physically showing the sex scenes instead of implying it in every way.

 

[Frostbite3789]

Yeah I thought that was more than a bit juvenile and stupid even for a duke nukem game. They need to axe that shit( no pun intended) not to satisfy the censor happy people, just because it's in poor ass taste.

I think it's weird you say it's juvenile, then add useless cursing to your post that added nothing.

How can you criticize something for being juvenile, then do that?

Good job, pull the Ad hominem card. I mean it has nothing to do with the argument at hand but it makes you look awesome right?

Unless you thought that perhaps I was against, all juvenile things. Which I never said I was. I was just saying that a line needs to be drawn before something just degenerates into the realms of bad taste. There needs to largely be some kind of point in it. The crap throwing option seems largely as pointless and gratuitous as the severed head kicking and pissing on people of postal 2.

There is such a thing as too much of something.

But I probably wasted all of my time clarifying my point as you likely really don't care and just wish to be a disagreeable troll.

Not at all, just pointing out the hypocrisy of what you said.

ROFL

Strange mental images abound.

 

[Elexia]

Thank god the Australian Classification Board gave Duke Nukem Forever MA15+. Otherwise heads would be rolling by now.

 

[blaize2010]

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.

Judging by your avatar you won't be able to contain your...SYSTEM SHOCK!!!

Badump tish!!

your systemshock?

Honestly? The same joke three times in one thread?

You sadden me dear Escapists.

let it be known that a) i didnt see anyone elses post first, and b) you should really screen your posts with that profile. just sayin.
