Duke Nukem Forever Not Edited For Australia

dotarray writes "In case you still somehow didn't believe yesterday's news that Duke Nukem Forever had been given an MA15+ rating in Australia – effectively evading the notoriously strict censors, GamePron now has confirmation that the Duke has not been edited in any way for an Australian release. Hooray!"

Won't somebody think of the children!?

What about all these 15-18 year old kids who'll think it's okay to throw pipe bombs at a mutant pig cop!?

Age verification question: Do you remember the initial announcement?

This joke is going too far

This joke is going too far. They have official ratings now? Can they get in trouble for submitting something that they have no intention of finishing?

It is actually rated for 8 year olds, but that is because they'll be ten years older before the game releases.

Wait, what? The post authors are confusing me here. Outsider replies to himself, calling himself a douchebag?

Sybil, is that you?

They have box art! Real live box art! And on the box art, his gun is his penis! So you know the game is going to be awesome.

So basically one shot, maybe followed by another a couple of hours later, and then you're done?

I guess it's one of those sniper games then.

It's not that Duke Nukem was great.

Yes.it was. You clearly weren't around at the time, or else your idea of a great game is Farmville.

antisemite! :)

Aussie = World^(-1) - 15+ = Aussie's 51+

[lksd]

I wouldn't worry too much, since Australia is upside down the rating will be 51+, so it's all ok, she'll be right, fair dink-um. Sleep tight Aussies, no USA game's gonna spoil your child's mind untouched by civilized or remotely intelligent thought.
