It is a first-person shooter in which players take on the character of Duke Nukem, an action hero who must protect Earth from invading aliens. Nothing significant so far - this might be a buttered up Halo for all they know. But keep reading & the overview starts to feel more like a homicidal horror than an actual rating:
Duke Nukem Forever was most recently given a "Mature" rating by the ESRB, the least surprising story ever since the firing of Charlie Sheen. Here's some excerpts from the official ESRB rating overview that got Duke Nukem Forever its well-deserved "Mature" rating.
The team at Duke Nukem Forever has the task of fulfilling a decade as well as a half of buzz as well as anticipations, yet in doing so, it requires to kick censors aside for its exceptional, graphic game play:
Aliens are often decapitated or dismembered when hit. A few sequences show much more over-the-top cases of violence: aliens getting stabbed in the top of the head or impaled; a human soldier bursting in to bloody gibs right after being tossed through propeller rotor blades.
Game enthusiasts enter a strip club level & view a couple of nude dancers as well as get lap dances. A couple of quests within this level need game enthusiasts to recover sex toys & photographs of nude females. females appear to perform fellatio on the central character, Duke moans & leans up against the wall of a bathroom stall (furnished with a hole), it is suggested that a sex act (not depicted) happens.
Furnished with a hole offers a fine, detailed touch, so does the excerpt in general. It is like the regulators went from making a ratings technique to writing an adult novel. This might have been the next couple of lines in my view (my version):
Duke caresses a female lady of the night while sitting on a papered toilet stool cover, holding her with sculpted biceps as well as anabolic steroid infused forearms, mimicking the act of sexual intimacy. The lady surrenders to every ounce of charm, machismo, as well as timber echoing from Duke's resonant voice, as it is assumed, the are engaged in baby-making.
Rated "R" for REALLY Romantic...
Toilet humor involves the ability to urinate in bathrooms or urinals and/or grab feces from toilets & toss it against walls. Game enthusiasts could use both steroid pills as well as beer as power-ups; when alcohol is ingested, the monitor temporarily blurs.
Here's an excerpt from the actual summary:
Way to crush mood, guys...
I found the mention of the screen blurring intriguing. They make use of the phrasing "power ups" in the earlier sentence but would not go as far as to say make use of "beer goggles" when referring to Duke drinking alcohol (probably because it is more of a "power down"). could not bring themselves to get it done, I suppose.
So, in other words, there is a significant amount of rap music in the game.
The language 'f**k,' 'sh*t,' 'c*ck,' as well as 'a*shole' appear in dialogues as well as on-screen text.
Check out the full summary of the "Mature" rating. You may learn something, probably not, yet at the least it is going to keep you from counting down the hours until Duke Nukem Forever's official release.
