However, in an era where we've seen the Mass Effect "Sexbox" controversy and multiple studies telling us how good or bad gaming is for us (depending on who you believe) it would be natural for the game to shirk away from its roots. Since the original was such a lightning rod for controversy back in its day, it would only be natural for its successor to push the envelope. Of course, these moments make Duke Nukem Forever endearing in its own way. I won't spoil anything big here, but if you shrink away from gratuitous sexual content, over-the-top violence, or "inappropriate" humor, then you'll want to forget this game ever existed, because it has offensive material in spades.

After fighting a huge one-eyed alien, the Duke seems to have eliminated the threat, and can get back to being his badass self.

The game opens with Duke fighting against an alien horde with his bare hands. ![]() If you were worried that Duke Nukem would be a watered down, less caustic version of himself in his much-anticipated return, then concern yourself no longer. When I had the chance to play through the first ninety minutes of the long-awaited sequel, Duke Nukem Forever, I couldn't help but think about what the people who demonized the game so long ago would think if they saw the Duke now. When Duke Nukem 3D was released more than a decade ago, parents' groups and the media demonized the game as yet another video game menace responsible for deteriorating the minds of corruptible youth. #Duke nukem forever for playstation 3 series#Duke Nukem is a series that has historically gone for the jugular in both content and explicit material. ![]()
