I'd wondered why this remake failed to achieve zeitgeist in the manner that Doom has, but now it makes sense. Reviews I've seen ... particularly LGR's, gloss over the darkest side of Duke. Your review did a good job of reminding me why I played: Not for the sass - or crass - but for the weapons, multiplayer and action.
I wonder if we're so inured of hentai tropes that we simply say, "let them play, I wouldn't bother" instead of discussing it? The end of Bioshock Infinity's DLC campaigns also contains a horrific torture scene. Needless, according to the reviewer, but they're not movies. You have to work reach the end of a game, so content can be set behind that barrier.

Someone told me that you're worth it.
I believe them.
