She may blacklist me for this...

blitz0x4691d ago

I'm surprised she made it as far as she did. lol

agentxk4691d ago

Funny thing is, she was most upset about the most unusual event. Heh

ATiElite4691d ago

why does your girl loves rats?
is she out-doorsie and belong to PETA?

if my girl saw even an animated rat in a video game she would shriek and run out the room. she screamed at the rat in the BF3 trailer.

nopunctuation4691d ago

Your girl needs to grow a pair...oh wait.

dragunrising4690d ago

Precisely why I won't play this game with my fiancee in the same room.

I made it my goal to play the game and complete it. Thank you $2 Redbox video game rentals...I can try the game out for myself and see just how bad it is :-)

I reserved the PS3 version to pick up tomorrow. I heard the 360 version was nigh unplayable. Kind of unfortunate as I have Duke Nukem 3D on xbla.

BaneWilliams4690d ago

and see, no hide nor hair of rape jokes. Fucking femanists who haven't played the game getting their knickers in a twist. Thankyou :)

Nice LA Noire spoiler tucked in there, too.
As a female gamer, I object to the fact that the "casual female gamer" didn't play the game herself, and only seems to be included in the story because of who she's married to.

agentxk4691d ago (Edited 4691d ago )

She hates any game she can lose. She is extremely casual, Sims and Animal Crossings are all she'll play.

Outta bubbles so here is my response to the post below:

Yeah, I would have preferred that. We have a female writer that helps us out from time to time. Perhaps we can try to get her fiance to convince her to play the game, she is a much more active gamer as well.

dotarray4691d ago

Oh, I understand that - and I know of plenty of girls who are in a similar position. I just was expecting it to be a girl at the controls and writing up the story herself.

For what it is, the story's not bad - just not what I'd expected.

Kon4691d ago

Hahaha I would love to see her face watching you play!

blitz0x4691d ago

Yeah I totally wanted video lol

Awesome-Xanto4691d ago

She should have complained more about you playing on OnLive... Lol

blitz0x4691d ago

If you have a fast internet connection (fios here), its actually a pretty sweet way of playing on a laptop, especially if you have a mac or a really old system.

Yes, I agree that its not as powerful or as impressive as a regular console, but its a great option for some people.

Awesome-Xanto4691d ago

That's cool man, I'm just not fan of it... I think it's fine as a rental service. But I would never pay full price for a game from there because you really don't own it.

They really should give there customers an option to actually own the product there purchasing... so when you have a good enough PC you can still play your games once there taken off there servers.

gypsygib4691d ago (Edited 4691d ago )

A LOT of movies released each year are much much worse in the rape department and no one complains. Games are discriminated against because foolish baby boomers still think all video games are meant for kids and they'll brainwash them.

The average age of a gamer is now 37, adult males aren't going to play the game, divorce their wives and start raping women, get over it. The worst that could happen is that they'll be turned on, which is probably rare.

The guys that are SO offended are probably the ones that found those parts of the game most arousing...seriously, read a psych textbook.

The strongest averse reaction to rape, etc. often comes from the people who are the most sexually aroused by it. They've done tests measuring blood flow to Mr. Dicken's to prove it.

yw.

Dandizzle578d ago

God damn Megadeth Duke Nukem anthem is the best.

Snookies12577d ago

It is pretty amazing, I remember being so hyped that they covered the Duke theme back when it happened haha. I still quite enjoyed Forever though personally.

Venoxn4g577d ago

It is great, you should check out Eric Calderone - Duke Nukem meets metal .. thats proper as well

"so wrong yet so right"

Only a few will know what Im talking about lol :D

porkChop620d ago

Wow, that advanced lighting makes a huge difference to the visuals. I get that Gearbox tried to slap everything together and release a finished product. But it seems like they cut out a lot of content that would have made the experience more enjoyable. That's a shame.

Number1TailzFan619d ago

Nerfed due to consoles.. and not the first time it has happened.

-Foxtrot620d ago

Kind of amazing the difference a lighting engine makes

Number1TailzFan619d ago

Same, the AI could be pretty dumb but the bosses were fun. I thought the levels (mostly) got better later in the game too.

XiNatsuDragnel619d ago

Devs nerf a game man best quote I've ever heard.
