For someone like me who really really wants to play ME2 but doesn't want to be made uncomfortable by the content


This just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The cursing, the sex and the drugs are an integral part of the story, of the world Mass Effect is set in and if you took all that out, it wouldn't be the same game anymore. If you don't like these elements to be in your games, you don't really want to play Mass Effect.

And none of this has to be in every game, and guess what, it isn't. There are different types of games for different types of audiences just like in any other medium. Get a Ratchet and Clank game or something. They're excellent games, and guaranteed squeaky-clean. But some of us do enjoy games with "mature" themes, and we don't have to justify this preference just because some people are too lazy to take care of their kids.

I edited a swear word out of that last sentence, by the way.

i swear alot, and im definitely not taking on an army of flying super squid.. im sure even the most holy of saints would swear when they saw sovereign flying towards the citidel flanked by a fleet of geth ships, its just natural, including it in the game makes it more realistic

if the day ever came that i was in shepards situation i feel sorry for any ears within hearing distance of my profanities..

So....



The game features a lot of blood and shooting people in the faces. Miranda even does it in a close up right at the start of the game. You see people getting killed by the millions in the intro. Samara asks you to pretty much **** yourself out to lure Morinth to a quiet spot. There's plenty of Asari dancing in outfits that can't even keep you warm near a bonfire. You see a human being literally being melted down in component materials for a giant robot monster.



Yet, the one thing the OP complains about is the cursing... Which even by SatAM standards is very timid?



Someone needs to sort out his/her priorities. I would not want to be the child of the OP, that's for sure.

wah...wah....wah....If you don't want to hear it don't buy the game....Be a parent and police your children's game playing.....etc....
Why do publishers(or on another note,movies but I digress} feel the need to incorporate such a exorbinant amount of cursing into a game.
That said, I love this type of games(for the matter all types of games). I like to become part of the story, to feel like I make a difference in the story to some extent. And I do not mind the language in games for me, myself, or I.
I have children that like playing the same type of games I do, that like to watch while I play. My spouse does not like this type of language and while we can not police what they hear outside  of our house, we can try to regulate in our house.
I do play games with cursing in them but  have to play around my children's viewing. I know all the arguments...there are no bad words just bad meaning...etc. But tell that to my children or your children when they get suspended from school or whatever. Like it or not certain words hold certain status in our society. On Network TV and Radio they more or less hold to a certain standard, though that is changing every year. My point is can publishers put in filters to allow people to enjoy the game with out the cursing or what ever else? An appropiate Beep just like they do on TV or a fade to black for WHAT EVER ELSE.(see other threads for that can of worms) Something a person can set to change the game to allow their children or themselves play with out the cursing (OR WHATEVER ELSE). If a filter could be worked in more people could enjoy them. I honestly think there are a large amount of people that would buy certain games if this type of filter were installed. The Big M on a box does affect a publisher's profit margin .  I know there are hard core gamers that will disagree but I bet there are a lot that will agree with me.


The  field is now open and as I said let the insults begin.....


erm your saying you don't mind you kids viewing violence, murder, bi sexual seriel sex killers and all the rest of it. It's just bad language that you have a problem with your kids hearing?
Maybe time to invest in a parenting course huh?

Actually she seems to shoot him in the throat. It's probably not meant that way, but I'm pretty sure that's where she's aiming.

And I've always loved that. Har.

Cursing in games is perfectly okay as long as it's not overdone.

Dear OP,

If you took as much time to explain to your children how to use language properly as you spent writing that post, you wouldn't have any issue with this. Teach your children to respect the language, and to speak respectfully to authority figures. That's where the problem occurs. Seeing bad language in a game is not what causes children to swear in school. Lacking respect for their teachers and principals and parents is what causes children to swear in school. I love my mother dearly, and I still don't swear in her house or in her presence to this day, and I'm well over the age where I can safely swear at authority figures because I respect her far too much, and I value her good opinion of me. My brother's children have the same level of respect for their parents and their grandmother. And yes, my brother's children play games like Mass Effect in front of their parents and yet still know better than to repeat that kind of language at home. We have always played games or watched movies with bad language and/or violence, and yet none of us have become serial killers or been thrown out of school (although I did get in trouble once for suggesting the principal had a lot in common with the National Socialist Party, which was a) true and B) politically motivated rather than disrespectful). I respectfully submit that anyone who thinks there is too much cursing in a videogame has never read and understood Shakespeare.

This is a ridicoulous argument.



OP there are alot worse things in the world than cursing, think about this. Would you rather your children heard a bit of cursing or were forced to become addicted to every drug there is? One is harmless the other is not.

OK really, Mass Effect is a M rated game. That's all you need to know, all that needs to be said. I don't mind swearing just as long as it's fits the story and character(s). Same goes for "love scenes" or violence for that matter.

All this, bad language, violence, drugs, sex or whatever discussions only exist because of one thing:

Some parents lack to raise children with a stabil character.



Seriously, IF those things could affect a personality, it has to be a very weak one, a too unstable character could get influenced, no doubt. But any individual with enough character can not get influenced that easily.



Games, do not have to pay for parents inabilities to raise their children properly. No insult intended, but if one believes ones children are yet too easy to be influenced, don't let them play such games.



Just look after what they are buying ( aka, control what they buy like in: No, you don't get that!) and once in two months or so, if ones kids are out, check their PC / Room for games you didn't approve and if you find some, talk to them.



I don't have children, so don't take this advise literally, but it shouldn't be too hard to teach ones kids what's right and wrong. If that is properly done, no child will ever go on rampage, because it played shooter-games or something similar (exaggeration, yeah, but you know what I mean!).





It's all about parenting, period! Games aren't supposed to substitute parents or education.

As long as it swears about situations and not swears just to swear, it's totally fine!

If I don't get the Bus or something like that, I think (sometimes actually speak, .... and very rarely even yell) "Scheiße" ... or how a bavarian would say "Himeherrgottsakramezefixhalleluyamilecksamuarschscheißglumverrecks" (Yepp, that is ONE swear! / Gotta love german/bavarian swearing).
