Is C2 going to be a cursing game?

Post » Fri Jun 03, 2011 4:26 am

to be honest warhead had a lot of cursing as well yet i heard of no criticism about that, maybe its cos it was placed exactly where it needed to be placed, or just that psycho's british accent swearing is just that damn epic.

I can honestly say if an Alien invasion was actually happening and there was a war going on in the streets of mahattan Island, its safe to say you would be dropping the F-bomb like it was going out of fashion and thats even if you werent in the thick of it.

yeah, sometimes people need to look at it from the games perspective. Prophet was going through a lot of "****" and wasn't too thrilled about past and current events. You'd be cursing like that too, and probably a lot worse than him. Also, this is an M rated game as stated before, so get used to it.

LOL

I reiterate, I dont mind it now and again, because yeah it is laughably cheesy to have characters say darn, and Oh my gosh. That does not mean that the same words should be said over and over again without any cause other than a filler word. Its not a matter of not being able to "take it" its just annoying. As mentioned earlier, it sounds like kids when their moms are in the shower.

Heh. Anyone who thinks they swear too much has never seen real American military personnel at work...

I've heard so much swearing, from the artful to the pathetic, that I don't even realize it's happening. If it bothers you, perhaps you could turn the voice sound off? That's usually an option in games these days. Or, yknow... don't play a game that has language in it.

To quote O'Neill in Warhead:
"**** Nomad"

To quote Psycho and Jester in Crysis: "I feel like I walked in a bloody comic book here."-Psycho
"Yeah, since when do the North Koreans have a mother **** Freeze Ray?"-Jester

Well delivered lines for the situation.

Cursing's not a problem when it within the right situation. I just don't like it when people do it for no reason, like they're trying to show off. Which is what I think Crytek was trying to do here. Guess they thought it would attract kids. Talk about Joe Camel.

So you don't think combat situations merit potty words?

We should certainly replace voice acting that you should be able to silence if you don't like it with more child-friendly words. We should also request that they remove any trace of violence, brighten the colors, and rename the game Peggle.

Just out of curiosity, do you think the stuff that comes on Cinemax late at night is hardcoe porm?

No, combats fine. I'm talking about when they're not in combat, or any real stress situation, and they're just spewing it out. Met too many people like that. Really irritating, dumb, shallow people.
And really, I don't like hearing a lot of it, even in combat.

Well, different strokes for different folks, as my rather old-fashioned mother would put it.

I for one, am not bothered by it, but I got massively desensitized in the army. Again, most games these days have an option to turn voice dialogue off if you dislike it. The first Crysis, the swearing didn't bother me, and I don't expect them to sound like a bunch of kids that just found out about the words in this one either.

But really, asking any major media industry to only use swearing, violence, or nudity when it really fits is a bit of a joke. They won't because people expect certain things from certain franchises. If I watch a Die Hard movie, I expect to hear "Yippi ki yay mother f***er".

Some things take themselves more seriously than others, and some things, in taking themselves seriously, go over what some people consider "the top". There will always be someone offended by everything, the best they can do is make the game the way they feel it should be made, and let sales speak for themselves. They plainly feel that some amount of swearing enhances the realism of the dialogue. I frankly agree. You clearly don't.

Your opinion won't change, neither will mine. (Unless they DO sound like a bunch of school kids in the game.) All we can do is vote with our money, and set our settings how we like them. For you, that may include turning off dialogue volume. Whatever sinks your submarine is ok by me.

It has a rating for a reason. The characters are meant to be real. Richard Morgan said that. He said, he wanted to make the characters realistic. Make them believable. Make the player feel as if there were real feelings behind those script lines.

Now, I'm not going to say that excess f-bombs and such are good. No. At some point, too much is just too much and it gets annoying. This trailer is nowhere near this point. Not even remotely close and I suspect the full game won't be either. So, back to the rating. Ratings are there for a reason. True, ratings are mostly consistently full of ****, but that doesn't mean it doesn't reflect the content of the game in any way. If it's rated 18+, then there's bound to be foul language and such in the game, for example.

If you can't handle the language, don't play it. If you're not old enough to handle the language, well, you're not even supposed to play the game, says the rating. In this case, the problem relies in YOU, not the game and I won't stand for having the game be dumbed down for people who can't handle it.


Thank you

Tank and sniper are the best ^^

Also, I think that the trailer has a lot of swearing because they only show you the big points of the story, where the bad things happen, which would equal more swearing than if you bothered rendering prophet walking in between points and sleeping every now and then. (Seeing as he is the main part of the trailer)

I don't get why people are even toying with the idea that Prophet is swearing out of context.
I think that an alien invasion constitutes a stressful situation... :D

If you knew what I did to your mom last night, you'd curse a lot more than the people in the trailer (she was cursing a lot too but in the best way possible).

The Prophet's Journey trailer was cool but there was a lot of unnecessary cursing. I don't mind a little here an there but when its all the time like that it gets really annoying. It sounds like those twelve year old kids crying about getting shot in Call of Duty. I just want to hurt people like that.

Am I the only one that thinks it was a little much?

No, Scion your not. I guess were just educated advlts. To me, this is something "cool" they did to lure in the kiddies.

We're. If you're going to associate education and maturity and imply you have more of them, grammar and spelling are key.

As it turns out, many people these days actually consider it rather immature to be offended by swearing that isn't being directed at any particular person. An educated advlt would be able to tell the difference in direction.

If it's used out of context, or as a filler adjective, it isn't the same as being used to provide emphasis, or heighten realism and/or tension in a storyline. An educated, mature advlt would be able to appreciate the appropriate use of it, even if they disapprove of use of the word in general.
