Even if you were on the fence about Demiurge's upcoming Shoot Many Robots, Penny Arcade's Fruit F**ker (a collectible headpiece in the game) is here to help make up your mind. Oh, did we say "make up"? We meant "extract the nutrient-rich liquids from."

As awesome as that is, I think that would be VERY distracting.

You would think it would distract the guy at all. Hard to shoot with a face humper.

Doesn't really win me over, to be honest. Kinda puts me off. Just like how the cardboard samurai pre-order for Tekken put me off.
I'm just not a fan when DLC/pre-order bonuses break the theme of the games.

You're upset about DLC that's silly and not the actual in-game content?
Let me remind you Tekken is the game where you can fight as a kangaroo or bear while wearing water floaties and a fat guy who can dress up as a pink Super Sentai/Power Ranger while wielding giant eating utencils on his back.

Eh, those don't really contrast or break the ingame look. Sillyness isn't what gets me. It's when you break the look/theme of the game. It's like TF2. The new weapons they keep adding are breaking the theme and look of the game. I dislike that they added the weapons. That's essentially how I feel about these DLC packs. They for some reason never try to make them really fit in with the theme/feel of the game. They're just last minute marketing strategies.

No, he'd rather bend over and pay $8 for glorified HD sprite sheets that should have been in the original game.
YEP THAT HORSE IS DEAD I KNOW

This has to be the most awesome item in any game ever.

UH... wat?
Why are people saying this is cool?
This is the first thing I've seen about this game and it doesn't pique my interest at all. Why the hell would you want a robot on your head humping your face?? I mean, are you kidding me?

Because I don't have the humor level of a 14 year old, because I'm not an idiot, because I'm not gay or robosexual.
Take your pick.
To each their own, I guess. If people really think this is cool I'm pretty astonished. Childish, stupid, and a total fail by the developers if you ask me.

That's some pretty senseless vulgar humor. I don't see the appeal. If anything this would make me less interested in owning the game.
Not all of us like perverted humor in our video games. Why do more and more game developers jump on the idea that you need some sort of sexual reference, whether it's a joke or just straight out sex scenes to sell a game or make it fun? Every time they do this sort of thing it drops the value/quality of the game to people like me.
For example, Red Dead Redemption seemed like a sweet game and I almost bought it until i found out about the sex scene in it. Now, they're not getting my money.
I think the video game industry is forgetting that a lot of people want a mature style game, without the filth.

@0jonadams There's a contradiction in what you said there, you can't have an adult game without a certain level of intimacy.
For example if there was a game where you were a detective and as the male or female protagonist went around doing quests and such (like L.A Noire although you probably didn't play that because it had naked bodies in it) and then whenever you met a character of the opposite sex you either blanked them enitrely or spoke to them like coldly (which would degrade the realism of the speech therefore also downgrading the realism of the game) the latter especially I mean you can't not speak to members of the opposite sex just because you're afraid that maybe they'll be vulgar, look I'm drowning on here but my point is vulgarity even in its most subtle form is required in a game that wants to be taken seriously as a core adult game, in this case though the developers are obviously doing it for a few yucks, I don't blame theme either its nice to laugh you know.
Also I highly doubt that in Red Dead Redemptions case Rockstar sold it hoping that people would pick it up because it had a sex scene in it, have you even seen this scene it doesn't show anything revealing at all, it simply implies the couple is about to make love.

Played this at PAX, and to be honest, I was rather disappointed. Spent way too much time fighting the controls.
