you know... i get the impression that rather than being worried, the fellows at Gearbox are probably high fiving each other that they managed to get Fox Noise pissed.

still, whatever, haters gonna hate (and make up shit, both of which are, ironically, Fox News staples)

This! I agree, in fact people probably should already know what the game is about and how "Mature" the content is. If this is true then by a long time ago the media watchdog would have acted.

Fox news is not a credible source, even Wikipedia is more credible than that!

One word: Porn.
Correct me if i'm wrong, (I'm English) but thats been around for years and Fox News haven't taken a stab at that yet. If anything that's easier for kids to get at if there's no parental controls on the computer.

It's hilarious when they write that there was a massive "What were they thinking" response from gamers. If I remember right, most people actually burst out laughing.

It was inevitable.

I'm surprised, you'd expect FOX News to react more quickly than this. They must be getting a bit lazy.

I don't know much about Fox but I rarely hear anything good.

This report seemed to point out legit facts and seemed spot on

"The ESRB argues that its ratings effectively allow consumers to self-police: If you find that sort of thing offensive, simply don't let your kids buy the game."

I'm not a parent but if I was I would not be expecting someone else to look after my child!!

It's always good when you read an article criticizing a game for showing strippers and being demeaning to women, and at the bottom is a link to an article called "The 7 most embarrassing sex moments". Way to go!

Well Faux News is easily one of the most retarded news stations alongside one from my country so... why the hell not? More publicity for the King.

I called it. Several times.

What has me particularly ired is that at the end Fox insinuates that the recent delay is because of them.

FOX NEWS - Still retarded

This controversy like all others will up the sales of the game by at least 10%
People who casually play video games will watch this and say "hey, that's cool" and they will buy it. Fox fails again. And there is no REAL sexism in Duke Nukem. The game is a comedy. It's not to be taken seriously. If women are offended by what you can do to them in the game shouldn't men be offended that they're the ones that are supposed to be doing that stuff to women? People need to chill the fuck out. Seriously. There are far more pressing matters in the world than video game controversy.
