^^ i have no idea

probably heard it a few times when we all get together and play cards and drink or something. get a good hand, think you're gonna take it and then the pal next to yah pulls out a flush

"f*ck me in the a**hole!"

it's not intended in any menacing way - we always laugh about it afterwards - but that is how those things get started

 Hi BioWare Community, I played and loved the first Mass Effect, and was really excited about Mass Effect 2 up until I noticed the increase in mature content in the game. As someone with a fairly conservative family and a baby in the house, I was wondering if, like the first game, all of the Romance sub-plots are optional, and if the game had some way to censor swear words or violence, much like Brutal Legend and Gears of War 2.

Or you could, you know, get over being so ignorant and closeminded.  Seriously, it's part of the art of the game.  It's the whole package or nothing.  

People like you want to get the naked statues in Europe censored too.

Did you shield your eyes when Janet Jackson had her wardrobe malfunction?

If you're worried that your kid is gonna grow up swearing or looking at females in a lustful way, then you are COMPLETELY naive.

[OneDrunkMonk]

Treat it like an "R" rated movie you rented. Play it after the kids are in bed.

No. I just find excessive swearing immature and lazy, and virtual sex relatively creepy.

some people have good reason to be pissed off with the world and where we in their shoes we probably would've turned out fairly similar. as for swearing in combat? mass effect is built around being a realistic science fiction type universe, you don't get one without the other and in combat (or any life or death situation) swearing is hardly immature and lazy.

virtual sex, well there were worser labels you could've thrown on there. a person who buys an long storyline game (hours and hours) where you build your own character inside and out to the point where hey this guy is me. i'm a badass he/she is a badass. i'm an angel and treat people with courtesy, he/she does the same thing. i've never played a game that lives up to the idea of character identity association that mass effect delivers on. ever.

and the idea of not seeing my character act out his feelings towards another, when the game goes to the max length in nearly every other human experience? then you turn that whole idea of mass effect as a realistic science fiction right on its head.

besides, it's been said repeatedly. if you don't want to see realistic looking characters having a quick 15 second romp or intimate encounter then you can talk your way out of it. bioware is always very clear and gives the player ample warning about those things

I really don't see the problem here: wear some headphones and make sure you don't turn on the subtitles. Problem solved, unless you've taught the baby to lip-read.

[Marlina]

I actually think swear words are fine! Why are they offensive anyway? Same goes for sex and nudity. It's all very natural, I don't see what the big problem is.

Then again, I'm from europe, so I'm probably crazy! D:

[IvanTurbinca]

a "beep" option would be nice to have ingame, I don't think the devs would've skipped this, since they want to reach as large an audience as possible

[Shad0wOGRE]

If you don't feel comfortable with mature games then don't buy mature games.



Also, you could just explain to the kid the concept that adults and kids are allowed to use different sets of vocabulary.



Kids can understand a lot more than they're given credit for. My parents never censored their language or tv viewing while I was growing up but I understood that there were things I wasn't allowed to say and they were. It's a wonderful opportunity to teach a child about limits.

As far as I know, it's the yanks who are crazy...
Anyway, I'll probably never understand why yanks get so annoyed by swear words and nudity. They must be very afraid of expressing themselves naturally.

Right on! What's even more mystifying is how they seem to think violence is fine compared to these things.

Unless your BABY can already read then simply play the game with headphones then nobody will hear the swear words... Course personally anyone who is offended by swear words needs to grow up words are meaningless only the intent behind them should be all that matters.

That's probably because they can't express their anger via swear words, lol.

i was actually over at a friend's house the other night (knew this guy since grade school) and his marriage isn't exactly a picture perfect. he also plays a lot of 360 and violent games.

the kid is four now and his list of vocabularly is pretty extensive but includes: "dink, a**hole, f*ck" and an interesting combination of "f*ck me in the a**hole"

while humorous to a third person party it's not exactly inspiring to a young parent. is his a broken home? no, far from it. it's just another thing to work your way through.

Couple decades ago I had a freind that was loose with his kid on this stuff (not to extent your saying but thats just sign of times now) and I had to stop visiting him.

Just found I couldnt stay quiet about their lack of parenting skills.

I applaude the Op for caring about this and headphones definately your best bet but its only going to get worse.

Id suggest you find your own room for gaming in cause in a couple years, sounds not going to be your only worry from these games.

I know (speaking for myself) I would simply not allow my kids under 18 to play any video system other then Wii. When they move out and get their own jobs they can play what they want but in my house, kids dont play #1 shooters of any type, #2 MMORPGs of any type, #3 any game not approved first by parents (and Id definately look it up to learn about it).

I dont think Video games make kids go out and rape pillage and kill, but it sure isnt helping either!

[Kyria Nyriese]

I understand what the OP is saying, I have 2 small children, however, as others have pointed out, you can do some things to limit the exposure your child has to the game. Whenever I am playing when the boys are around, if I'm playing an M rated game, I have my headphones on or the sound turned off. If there are romances in the game, I plan my playtime for that aspect of the game to be when the boys are at school or asleep. My husband is also a gamer and pretty much follows the same thing. Now on that note, I have ME for both the 360 and the PC, and have only completed it on the PC, for the fact that it is M rated and the TV is just too much to keep the kids away, while I can chase them off from my computer.



Otherwise, I don't have an answer for you, I enjoy this type of game, as someone else said it is one of the most immersive game I have every played and the romance sup plots for me, help that immersion.



Just my 2 cents worth anyway. Good luck with finding a resolution for you.

This.

I think the OP needs to go find a Wii and start playing Mario Kart or something like that.

[Sialboats]

I love all the made up words, pretentious liberals swearing freely and advocating sex - calling anyone who doesn't like either immature, and the high-and-mighty lot who aver it's all inherently bad.

Great thread, tbh.

I am positive there is no filter. I asked about this months ago and Stanley said there was not one and there were no plans to implement one.

Probably the best thought out answer in the whole thread kudo's.

What I like or Dislike in a Movie/Computer Game and what I would intentionally expose an infant/toddler to before he/she was old enough to be taught what is/is not suitable are two completely different things.

Do I seriously think I could protect them from exposure to violence, adult language, adult content ..... well not once they were in say pre-school but I can certainly see protecting them from it before then.
