Duke Nukem Forever

Kinda sad how the DNF and Crysis 2 trailers use the exact same song on more or less the exact same day.

 

And the same as Scott Pilgrim's

Did Duke just drink a vial of Botox before that?

I can't help but feel Gearbox are hoping to ride this one out purely by it being DNF. Also I'm loving that whole "now you're with Gearbox" stuff. We still have no idea how much of it's Gearbox n how much is 3D Realms. From what's been mentioned in the past about 80% of the game was done and I can't see 2K spending a few more dozen million on starting development completely from scratch.

You guys heard of the controversy surrounding the game's "capture the babe" mode where you get to spank a chick to calm her down?

 

People are going ape shit over this. To me, this kind of reaction seems, I don't know, a little arbitrary. It's like, they have no problem with all the objectifying that Duke Nukem has done, but the spanking just "crosses the line" for them. I mean, what? That's gotta be a pretty small line if you go from "OK" to "OMG THIS IS SO OFFENSIVE I WILL NOT BUY". They're justifying this erratic behavior by saying "well, that was objectifying, this is misogynistic", which is just thin. That's like saying "I'm totally OK with over the top gore in violence and stabbing, but stabbing and THEN TWISTING THE KNIFE? OMG THIS CROSSES THE LINE FROM VIOLENCE TO MUTILATION AND I WILL NOT HAVE IT!!"

Is this from the same people who are/were planning to purchase the game?

 

I was thinking, if there was any controversy, it would be from the people ignorant to what "Duke Nukem" is as a game. Perhaps these are found in the group that was going to purchase the game as well. Like, "Oh, it's suppose to be an action packed game with really funny bits!"

Yep. People were all "that's stupid and distasteful" and whatnot. I'm guessing everyone's afraid games as a whole will be less "arty" if they allow spanking? I don't really see the problem. It's Duke Nukem. You spanked babes for health in the PSX games.
