"Dances the line of decency"? I'm sorry, this is Duke Nukem. He should have already left the line in the dust miles back...

I'm so fucking sick of people getting all up in arms because there is sex involved. Seriously.
If it just said "There are curse words and aliens getting punched in the groin", we'd assume it was a "T" rated game. People have shit fit if there is ANYTHING sexual. It's like we live in a world of prudish 12-year-olds. "Boobies!? HEAVEN FORBID."

Then let it get rated AO. Then the watchdog groups can't complain about it (what with it being ILLEGAL to let a kid play it), and it has so much hype (thirteen years' worth) that it wouldn't badly dent sales.

I think I speak for everyone when I say the ESRB can go eat dick.
You speak for a minority. Most of us realize that the ESRB is some of our best friends.

They're keeping the government's grubby hands off of our content! If they give an inappropriate rating, the game can be banned or reclassified (see: GTA). Without them... they'd just be banned.

Hey Gearbox, why not just say "Fuck the ESRB, PEGI and every other rating system" and just make it 100% Digital Distribution.
I would subsidise Gearbox for every pirated copy of the game with the gonads of the people who committed said act of pirating.

Can't wait for this. I just hope it gets through to us Australians.

Duke Nukem Forever: Duke Goes to Church
WITHOUT CHANGING AT ALL. Think about that for a moment. He'd end up screwing someone over the altar. :L

ANYWAYS. I don't know why it'd get censored, especially when I'm pretty certain you can probably find films that feature stuff that is at -least- as bad as that.
(Oh, I forgot, It's a game, we, as a children's medium, aren't allowed to do anything like that SMUT. :( :L )

due to retarded censorship i feel very sorry for countries that may not get the game or worse get a toned down version (aussie l4d2 anyone)

this game has been in the works for what a good decade now under various developers and publishers that either died or lost faith in game over its prodution period.

though now all we can hope for is that gearbox brings us our duke-flavoured salvation without the ruining powers of censorship.

Damn you cencorship boards, get the hell away from our duke!

Seriously, a gratuitously violent and ridiculously offensive duke nukem forever will not cause me to turn into some sex-crazed sociopath.

It getting toned down to the point where it's not Duke nukem anymore because of some stupid censor who has heart attacks about even twilight-level violence however...that will cause trouble.

If i want a blow job while killing aliens then that is my dam right...screw rating systems that don,t allow a game to be sold just because their moral fags...They don't have to play, no one is forcing them*.




*(Except that first time in order to rate it but that's their job no complaining allowed.)
