“This game is hilarious; it has so many stupid adult jokes I can't believe it.”
“The jokes are so overly masculine and blunt that they come off as tasteless, dumb, or not funny at all. Every single bit of dialogue is literally only as raunchy as it is to push the envelope, but without any substance or good punchline.”
