Fever_Discordia: Not just the dialog, there seems to be a real gap in the market for a full on Guy Richie, 'Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels' cock-er-ney GTA-like set in good ol' Lun-daaarn, init?
The GTA series has been to London before for the 1969 (any little known 1961) GTA 1 add ons, they should really come back, jellied eels on me!

LOL oh right, in that case *I* want a British dubbed GTA: San Andrea!

Elmofongo: I say it fits with its setting and genre, unlike Game of Thrones where the swearing words feels so out of place in the medieval fantasy setting with words like F###,C#&*, D@*%, etc.
Why? I mean that's the period where the first traces of most of those word come from so what's so strange about that.

Before Game of Thrones, The Witcher, and I think Dragon Age I never hear swear words like Fuck in anyother Medieval Fantasy settings, Lord of the Rings both book and films did not used any at all and its a story more leaning towards adults than children like the Hobbit.

And it just feels weird hearing them say it, I would tolarate Damn, Hell, and even Bastard.

Bro, you have some twisted image of medieval times.

I bet people were saying the word cunt (of their period) much more than Hallelujah.

In ancient latin, for example, there were approx. over 100 different words to describe a prostitute, where only one was not a curseword... :P

unfortunatelly, I couldn't find a book which would list all of them. But I tried.

That's because all the things you mentioned belong to low fantasy, a more gritty and dark, and under certain aspects "realistic" portrayal of the classic tolkienesque high fantasy setting.

And it sounds stupid in my ears a Knight or king say fuck or tits.

But than again I should not complain after playing Assassin's Creed 2.

You think holding a noble title means you are a noble person, and that was rarely, rarely the case...

What I don't like in GoT is the ammount of unnecessary tits and asses flying around the screen, but I've already discussed this.

It's not porn... it's HBO :P

What about The Getaway?

Although clearly it didn't garner the same plaudits as GTA, and as far as I know was never released on PC, that sounds almost exactly like the 'Lock, Stockin's an' two smokin' monkeys arrr 'AVE-IT YOU SHLAG' that the above is looking for.

StingingVelvet: Maybe my mind was warped by teenage Tarantino movies but I cuss all the fucking time for shit's sake, etc.
I'm literally salivating at the thought of Tarantino writing for a GTA game. He probably wouldn't do it, though, I seriously doubt he regards video games very highly.

Didn't come out on PC so it didn't happen! Saying that though, apparently that PSX emulator I found to run Driver 2 also does PS2 games from the original media, don't know what the performance is like but that's potentially one to track down to see!

Getting slightly back on topic only not really, I was round my gf's friends house last night and her kid was watching kids TV when an advert came on for a intentionally gross glove puppet and the blurb was all
"It Burps! It Farts!..."
Wait, I thought, 'fart' is an acceptable word to put in an advert aimed at kids now? I mean I wasn't shocked and my monocle didn't fall out or anything but I did feel a little like I'd missed a meeting, like they should have announced on the news that 'fart' had been officially downgraded from 'Offensive' to 'Mildly Vulgar' and is therefore safe for before the watershed!

Tits are the only thing jiggling between your favorite character and his rapidly incoming death.
