nope. I asked about this months ago.

^ What Jamskinner said.  Indeed, not only did he get an answer when he asked this, he got a load of grief for it, too.  (Including from myself... I'll own up to it.  Sorry 'bout that.)

Seriously. I was surprised at the amount of squeeky voices i heard on MW2. I don't know how these kids fool their parents into buying the game.

That is today's day. MOM I WANT IT! Mom buys it. You cannot name one game out there that's player base is not solely dominated by kids.

It is the same tatic smoking companies use towards kids who cannot purchase cigarettes.

Niddy, I'd expect it's more about what parents do/don't restrict for their children.



My dad let me play GTA when I was 12/13, and it's done me no harm. Hell, I'm actually a fan of the series. My mum's bought 18 rated games for me (GTA, BioShock etc) before I'm technically old enough to own them, and they've really done nothing. The parents are only "retarded" (to use your term) if they don't consider whether their child can handle it. My parents knew I was mature enough to be able to play the games, and as such let me.



Well, I think now I'm 20 my mum doesn't mind but she still probably would rather I didn't play GTA even though she's bought copies of it for me, but she knows I'm not going to run around blowing everything up and murdering everyone. Some parents aren't like this, they just don't care. They'll buy a 10yr old GTA and think nothing of it, and THAT is what's wrong.

[EJon]

lol remember the grandma who bought it for her ten year old and then wanted to sue because the game had so much violence in it? Thats a good example of "mommy i wants it"

[Loerwyn]

I don't, but that sounds perfectly reasonable.



They've recently (in the EU/UK) made one of the rating systems legally enforcable, which should hopefully cut down on stuff like that, although I doubt it will.

[EJon]

She should have read the rating and the reasons it was rated. Its on the back of the game for a reason. But anyways - i don't think i'll have much problems with the F-bombs because i'll get rid of the character who curses like a sailor - SuZe. That might mean i have to work extra hard for the suicide mission, but what the heck?

Did I say anything the harm to children? No. I couldn't care less about children. The fact still remains, if you're younger than 17, it isn't for you. Yet, parents go out and buy it anyway. What does this do? It destorys games and forces companies to do a constant limboing game to keep their fickle teenage player base playing.

This is the reason for parenting companies like Activsion have such a bad repuation for destorying games.

I am not bothered by the swearing.

I do sympathize with those who dislike it or feel it would make matters uncomfortable at home.

As long as ME2 does not take the Great god Om's holy name in vain.

[KesselRunner]

Well I have to say that I'm disappointed. I don't play games to get cussed at. Here I was all excited about ME2, and now I'll probably never buy the game. Cussing annoys me more than bad driving. And bad driving really, really annoys me. I'm pretty bummed, actually. I got interested in the story with ME1 and I'd like to see the story continued, but not if it means getting cussed at. Maybe there will be a DLC that filters out the language someday, then I might buy the game. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there with somewhat stronger convictions regarding cussing. Or maybe I'm the only one who cares, I don't know. But that's my opinion. I'm just disappointed. *shrug*

[tai0316]

My issue with the language is that is adds nothing to the story. It's like they put it in there just because they could. I don't know about anyone else but so far I've heard the f-word at least seven times during my first playthrough, all but one of them coming from one of my squad members. Why? What's the point? They can be bad#*% without saying that particular word every other second. I'm not naive. I know people curse or swear or whatever, all the time. I don't use certain kinds of language in my own life but I can handle some of it. ME1 was no problem, but this is just ridiculous. Does anyone think it adds something valuable to the story? I agree a filter would be kind of silly and maybe hard to do, but I really hope Bioware takes it down a notch on ME3.

Rule #1 on Omega:

DON'T **** WITH ARIA!

[xI extremist Ix]

The best deterrent for parents when buying a game would be a complete list of all the vulgar content...



Words Used:

****sucker

Fvck

****

Dick



Or if online is enabled:

Repeated use of "N" word

Momma Jokes

Extreme Vulgarity

Prepubescent Keyboard Warriors



Or content in the game

Intercourse with aliens

Hard drinking

Burning Corpses



Did you know in the United States you get a bigger penalty for selling an M rated game to a minor compared to giving alcohol/tobacco to a minor?

The majority of the game takes place in the terminus systems, the ghetto of the milky way.

[DarthCaine]

Great, more Necromancers

[Fiery Phoenix]

I am not happy with the addition of those fancy words, either. I could play ME1 with my whole family around with no problems. ME2, not so much. I mean come on, it's not supposed to be a 50 Cent movie!

I'm absolutely convinced that the f-bomb dropped in Garrus' loyalty mission was100% appropriate.  Also, Joker's cursing in the "let's go pick up some space pizza" scene was perfectly believable.  Most of Subject Zero's sailor tirades fit the character - Zero's personality wouldn't carry the same weight without them.

I understand where you're coming from. You're saying that the language in the game helps to define the characters in a way. I'm not saying that all the language was overly offensive, just that the use of it seemed not really thought out. It was just *beep beep beep*, just because.  I just feel that using this particular word so many times wasn't about the characters or humor or whatever it was more like 'why not?' I actually think it takes a bit more intelligence to express something effectively without resorting to that level of cursing. I just wish they could've developed the story and the characters without going there and I hope they just tone it down a bit in ME3.

I was thinking about Uncharted 2 and how amazing that game was, it was epic. There was language and it's not a game for every age but they developed an amazing story and really great characters without this level of language. The writing was really intelligent and it made an outstanding game, so why can't Bioware take a lesson from that?

That's all. Just my opinion
