Gearbox is becoming my favorite developer and I've only played one game from them, sure it's the best fucking game of all time Borderlands, but still these guys are awesome. They would've been the biggest guy on the block in the 90's.
I will buy this regardless of rating, even if it's AO. After all, most Duke fans are adults now, like myself.
That said, I bet Americans here worry more than others, after all USA is not very, heh, tolerative towards sexual themes in videogames. I for one don't worry much, I live in Russia and Manhunt 1 and 2 are still being openly sold in most big videogame stores (PS2 versions are ridiculously overpriced though, considering game's age), as well as Postal 2 and even some Japanese porn games (localization is usually horrid though).

The saddest thing is, if Duke had come out when it was supposed to, there probably wouldn't have been any problem releasing it. Back when games still had a sense of fun.Infernai said:
I wouldn't worry too much about getting banned in the UK at least. Previous Dukes escaped unharmed, and I would imagine PEGI will just slap an 18 on it and be on its merry way. After all, it's not like there's scenes of torture or gratuitous road kill, or anything like that.
They should just release it in 2 versions. Duke Nukem: Manly Edition (R-18, AO Rating) and Duke Nukem: Pussy Edition (18, M rating). Though they might wanna change the name of the 2nd one to something less profane.
Just what I was going say.tehbeard said:

LOL - I think that takes it out of the realm of DLC and into digital distribution, which ESRB is involved inthahat said:am i the only one thinking 'give everyone a re-writable disk with only a downloader on in', let the game download itsself, burn itsself to disk XD?Wicky_42 said:The don't rate downloaded add-ons, right?

Nice try though.Then again, there's plenty of little indie titles that aren't rated - does getting ERSB'd only matter for getting onto shop shelves or something? How's it work?
