"Don't jerk me around Okeer." Do people honestly talk like that?


Only on network TV.


Not even. Here in the US the FCC has been less strict in recent years. It's not ideal, but people don't sound as cartoonish as they do in ME some times.

Every horrible thing BW does with this game, and you want to split hairs over cursing? Really? This is going to be an interesting place come launch week...


98% of those "horrible" things are inflated concerns from whining kids. In my opinion, of course ^_^.


Some people like contrived melodramatic fridge tragedy.  Those people will be sated, as will those whose only concerns are gameplay who view the pretty cinematics as a bonus and story as ultimately unimportant but a nice little aside (fondly called the "COD Crowd" on the BSN, aka: BW's new target fanbase).  For the rest, there will only be disappointment.

If you're happy with what BW did, then that's good.  For a lot of others, they aren't happy.  I know I'm definitely not happy.

You might as well lock this thread down mods, it appears almost no one is bothering to show an ounce of respect toward each other.

Not that I'm surprised, but still.=P


If I started a thread saying that as an atheist I want all references to religion removed because they offend me, I wouldnt get any respect.

OP wants negative references to god removed, he doesnt get respect.

Honestly, this is BSN, and you were expecting respect?


Basically this- 

Operative84 wrote...

I enjoy every day of my life and I believe and have faith in Yahweh/God/El-Shaddai/Jehovah and Jesus Christ and I'm a very tolerant person, I'm purchasing this game just I did the others, and will continue to enjoy things created by others while living my life even if at times I dont agree with the content or the reason for the creation of whatever item I may view or purchase. On that note this thread should be locked down as there is no hope for the "community" of "fellow" gamers to have a single ounce of respect for anybody, which I'm not surprised. The OP stated it bothered him/her and instead of asking why or trying to understand(not agree just understand the pov), and instead of making a tiny effort to understand or even better the willpower to restrain from being a jerk - it seems some would rather repeat what the OP has an issue with just to spite him/her.

PS I remember when I used to be a jerk to everyone, then I decided to grow up.

 
Just because respect wouldnt be shown for the example you gave(not to say its right, I'd respect those concerns) doesnt mean thats the way it should automatically be for everything else. 

And no I wasnt expecting complete respect from BSN(or pretty much anywhere on the 'net) but it couldnt hurt for some ppl to put a decent comment for once, or at least understand where the OP is coming from.    


Where is he coming from? He got offended. So what? Acting nice isn't going to help him. If anything, that just enables him to act like being offended is the worst thing in the world. Little kid in Africa gets shot at by Warlords, has not eaten in months and smells like an elephants rear end because he has no useable water within a thousand miles, but hey at least he's not offended.

Do you see where WE'RE coming from?

<_<


I never said to "act nice", go ahead and voice your thoughts on the topic regardless who doesnt agree with you, but I'm seeing alot of ppl here being completely rude and immature for no reason at all, THATS what I'm talking about. 

Of course being offended by a few words in a video game isnt the worst thing in the world, but theres still nothing wrong with having a problem with it. Besides, this is a game. I'm sure the OP wasnt thinking of a starving, bullet riddled smelly African child with no useable water when he decided to give Bioware a heads up on in-game language.

You know, I don't think a few "god dammits" really hurt god's feelings. He's supposedly omniscient and omnipotent, right? So he could put a stop to it if he wanted to, in theory. Getting uptight about this sort of thing is one of the most useless wastes of time I can think of.

I've been offended by many things in ME3, but my chief concern is having to follow Anderson and his 'run' Bioware, if you could fix it for me, please don't make me have to stare at his waddling arse. cheers.

What amuses me about the whole goddamn it thing, is that it's supposed to (I assume) be about "not taking the Lord's name in vain". But the thing is, the Lord's name isn't God.

And that's my pointless aside for the day.

anders was never forced on you, he hit on you once, if you shut him down he never speaks of it again.

TC this game is rated M, if you cant handle it, kindly leave

Ah, right!  I forgot about that.  "God" is actually his job description and title, not his name.

In the Abrahamic religions, their god's name is ineffable.

It's war. You don't say "Oh Drat, FOILED AGAIN" when shot, or when someone who could've been your friend takes one to the head.
Swearing is to be expected. Goddamnit, Damn, and other permutations of the term aren't even at all that serious when compared to F-, S-, and other, more "heavy-duty" words that are present in ME3.
Loads of other games use the line. You can't just tailor a game to religion: that's taking it WAY too far.

Alright so the Bioware aproach is to appease the fans. Thats good and all,

The new romance options, tthe same gender ones i understand is to appease lots the fans, which im cool with, as long as it is not forced upon us, Ex. Anders from DA2.

But after playing the Multiplayer, I've noticed that some of the enemies will say things like 'Goddammit', which to me and i'm sure lots of people find it offensive.

I know someone can say 'Well killing is against your belief's too. So play something else'. But of course you can't take that out of ME, cause it would be a totally different game.

Things like some 1-liner phrases can be changed, and if not in ME3, hopefully in future games. I'm just another fan who wants to continue to play Bioware games without having to listen to these lines.



The Anders romance was never "forced" on you at all.

As for the cussing.... I doubt that'll change any time soon.

OP is offended for no reason. And what you call "rude", is what we in the real world call Reality Checking.OP is in desperate need of one. Especially since he's giving a heads up about language in a M rated game that has, you guessed it, STRONG LANGUAGE. It's right there on the box and everything. If a game that has strong language didn't have goddammit in it, I'd wonder why they said strong language. If anything it'd be average language. In order to classify as strong language, it'd have to have all the major ones. F-bomb alone does not qualify.

Let me guess, an Atheist made that chart.

Whether or not it was an atheist making that chart is irrelevant, what IS relevant is that whoever it was he/she hadn't a completely clear idea of what gnosticism is/was...
The chart makes it sound as if any religion believing in a divinity is gnostic, that is, to my knowledge, totally incorrect... But maybe it's just me...

I'd also like to point out this thread is seemingly well on its way to derailing into a religious flamewar, I don't think such a thing is acceptable as per forum rules, but who am I to judge... :/

So.....you're angry because a fictional, by-the-numbers character in a video game.....

that you kill......

Doesn't believe in god?

I find the phrase offensive in day-to-day life but I could not give less of a **** if a cerberus assault trooper says it.

Dear OP. You are ruining America. Get garrus stick removed from your puritanical ass and let people enjoy things they like. Conservatives are a plague on America.

Because if s/he told us his/her real name, then we'd have power over him/her, God don't like that. You're under his/her control FOREVEEEEEEEEER!

Sorry but some of us dont live in 1955. This is a serious game. People are going to curse.  My suggestion for you....don't buy it.

LOL. Right, because treating gay people like people is so not controversial.
