Unnecessary use of language

Post » Mon Jan 18, 2010 7:14 pm

Why let a 5 year old play a 16+ game!?! You wouldn't let your child watch a pormo so why let her play a 16+ game with mature content in it?

Do they really make these comments after every kill? I have heard it only couple of times and I thought it was because of my killstreak and personally found it very amusing. If they repeat the same lines after every kill I agree it will become very repetitive. My children won′t understand English before they are atleast 9 years old so that′s not a concern for me.

Language is useless in video games (and in real life) Its really just a waste, I know a couple people who don't buy games if they have bad language.

If cussing and swearing is the only thing you can do than you need to work on your vocabulary.

PS: a language filter would be nice!!

I am 50, spent many years in the army, heard it all, there really is no need for OTT language in a game. I don't always play with headphones so anyone in the room will hear this and I will cringe :(
To reply to a comment by RiGoRmOrTiS, even if daughters are not on laps they still might hear it, I wouldn't want my daughter hearing this sort of thing even if she is in her 20's, its going to be embarrassing to her, me and my wife.

You can turn off the voice in the options menu. That's what I did and it's made multiplayer a lot more enjoyable.

The language doesn't bother me but it's the implied gloating that I don't like. A taunt button would be better IMO but probably too late to implement now.

I for one, would definitely like a language filter, because then I can play the Single Player as loud as I want without getting yelled at to much by my mom!!

PS: People who respond by saying: get some headphones, don't understand that having a 7.1 surround sound setup beets headphones by a mile. Also I'm not going to turn off dialog volume in single player.

Why don't you get a 7.1 capable headset?

they should reduce those lines to only if someone gets vangeance on you....then he should say something like "Payback's a bich" or/and "Payback ****" etc.....but everytime you get killed is too much imo...gets boring.

In Gears of War they had a gore filter so I don't see why they can't put a filter in for cuss words if thats what some people want. Also if you turn dialog of than you might actually miss the useful com pvssyr. I don't know if anyone has noticed but the in game characters will actually tell another friendly there is a enemy behind them so it would svck to miss out on that due to having to turn your dialog all the ways down. I do find the cursing kinda cheesy most the time. I don't mind cussing at all if they said gee golly wally after every kill I'd still want a filter for something like that. It's annoying to hear anything over and over again. Also to all the people who say they've only heard it two time...do you not get that many kills because thats the only way I can think of to avoid hearing it is to be the one getting killed and called a mother **** by the other player haha.

It doesn't say it "every" time, way to over exaggerate. I've only heard it a couple times.

It's rated M for a reason. Also, its ok for your 5 year old daughter to see you run around killing people, but the word "****" is bad? I think you've got your priorities messed up.

If you have only heard it a couple times then you aren't playing much. You also hear people saying "**** **** **** ****" and many other silly phrases.. It seems a bit juvenile, swearing just to sound cool, or just to make the game seem more cool.. kinda silly.

its pretty simple.. because you playing with very young males. who think because their online, they can offend everyone they come in contact with.
however why would you put a young child on your lap while playing such a game.
your no more responsible than the 14 year olds screaming in the Mic obscenities..
go play Mario brothers when your baby sitting. and spare us your whining..

What about disabling the sounds in the source code?
Well not directly in the source code but you can simply exchange the sound data with another sound that doesnt say anything so it wont make any problems and you dont hear it.
Just replace the soundtrack.

My 2c, I'm also 50 and been around the block. Nevertheless, I don't want that language because it desensitizes me over time. Before I know it I find I'm using the language or worse, don't even notice it anymore and that's not good. For me a good game like Crysis is like a day outside playing Paintball. The fun is in outsmarting, outhinking and outplaying the opponent.

Crysis is trying to sell their game in to the market so I simply want to post this where they might read it, what my preferences are. I don't want to mute the language volume as some have suggested because that takes away the other comments that add to the flavor of the game. It would not be a difficult thing for them to modify the language catalog file and allow for either one to be selected as an option. After all, they don't have to worry about synching the lips of the speaker with the voice when a nanosuit is involved.

Bottom line, I like FPS', but I don't want the gratuitous language in my home.

Normally this phrase is certainly offensive but in this case I think it's funny.

It's not really a liberal thing, at least not for me. I personally don't mind it, but I love the idea of having the option to censor it. I'm at that age where a lot of my friends are breeding, and while the kids aren't watching them play the game their certainly in the room. This way my buddies can play the game without worrying about headphones without their child possibly accidentally discovering a new word. And more important, it gives me another barrier when Mrs. Buddy wants to know if Uncle Chaz is screwing up her kids again.

There was a big title that had a feature like this last year, but for the life of me I'm drawing a blank.

/signed. I like to play with my 5-year old daughter on my lap. It's not cool...


Ok dude... Obviously I can't tell you how to raise your children, but:

1.) am I the only one who sees how screwed up it is that you are okay with your 5 year old daughter watching you slaughter a ton of people, putting bullets in their head, smashing in their skulls with the butt of a rifle, blowing them up with grenades, and even [quite graphically] pulling their heads back with one hand, while slitting their throat open with a knife with your other hand? (stealth kill)

All that is okay, but OH CRAP HE SAID A SWEAR WORD!!! NOT OKAY FOR KIDS!!

Lawl.. Seriously...

2.) The game is rated M for mature, in other words not fit for 5 year old daughters, that is no different than the rated R movies that you don't watch with your daughter.

Because these clearly don't look like robots.

My favorite is when I die and the guy goes ''see you in another life, ASSHOLE'' hahaha, I love it.


As for the people crying about the language, they need to stop whining about petty **** like this. Its rated M for a reason: Deal with it.

If you are letting your children witness you shooting the **** out of other human beings, slicing their necks open, and bashing their skulls in, I think its you who is the one with the problem. I would never let my kids watch me play something like that. I'm sorry but that is some fail logic some of you parents have.
