Is this Ireland edition or Manchester edition, I really can't say...

and this isn't really the "English gentlemen cursing during their tea time" cursing I am thinking about, btw :P

You can turn it off in Bulletstorm though (I'm sure I read this in an interview with the creator)

newcastle edition, of course!

yeah... well not really, but lower class hooligan english has it's charms too, relatively.

I say, you rum rotter, I'll bloody well see to it that you never lay a foot upon the crease in this village green forthwith!

Yeah, and there was no "oi" anywhere :P

In Caroligian times, calling someone a fox or a boar was a grave offense. In salic law, catching a free woman by the elbow without her consent was punished equally than stealing a cow.
Different times, different morals. You have to adapt the cultural aspect of things in a tv show if you want people to understand.

Why hello, demographic. I see you're complaining about games potentally not aimed for you. Would you care to look at the """Fine Catalog""" of Wisdom Tree games?

No? You're just exaggerating and couldn't ask your friend to turn down the vocal volume?

I am getting a bit old too, but i could not condemn a game for improvements in 'realism' whatever those improvements may be. So the question is, In what way do people generally talk in that environment in real life?

Similar issue with movies as well.

Why is liking profanity a sign of adolescence to you? It can be really funny and fitting in games like Kingpin, I think Fallout had a couple of fucks back then,too. Do you think only 13 year olds watch The Big Lebowski?

Blah I'm so tired of people trying to sound smart by stating that back then crap games came out,too. Sure maybe even 90%, but the difference to today is that 10% were good. Now we still have 90% crap, lots of mediocre stuff and maybe 1 or 2 Eadors per year.

I'll wade into this discussion as I have no problem with the swearing in games or movies. Just look at Deadwood with it's gratuitous use of the word cocksucker as well as other swear words. Ever since that show my go to insult or description of a person is cocksucker.
I also enjoy a good set of tits and ass in movies. What I can't stand in movies is showing five minutes of people making out. I don't care if it's hetero or homo making out, it's just like get on with the damn story already. We get it they are going to fuck. If I wanted to see people fucking I would be watching porn, but nudity scenes are fine by me as long as they are part of the story.

I also can't stand the made up curse words, such as like Battlestar Gallactica and it's frakkin this and frakkin that. It just makes me shake my head thinking of the games kids used to play to get around not cursing...H-E-double hockey sticks instead of Hell. Darn instead of damn.

I always thought most of this stuff was USA's puritanical view on sex, but apparently other countries have problems with nudity and cussing as well.

Yeah, you keep believing that. I'm gonna go back to enjoying all videogames, both new and old :-P

Swearing is like any other part of dialogue; if it's handled badly then it can become jarring.

Yes belief is exactly the right word. I religiously believe in old games, gog is my temple and I worship it multiple times a day. Heretics like you, with your QTEs and DRMs can't erode my faith.

Saints Row 4 has a lot of swearing but it dosent bother me and in fact it is quite funny when they swear at certain circumstances. The game is designed for fun and makes fun out of everything it can and i think it suits the over the top humour.
