Foul language

[journ2]

Great game, unnecessary foul language;)

[Awesoke]

From the characters? I don't blame them for not being prim and proper when they're about to be devoured by a walker.

[Maximus123458]

Well, you know, you are playing a game about zombies who eat the flesh of humans. The only way to kill them is to smash their brain. So haha, you know, if the game has that kind of violent material (And it has lots as you are probably aware.), there's bound to be foul language, swearing, cusses, whatever. Can't stop it. :3

[Viser]

That actually kinda adds to the realism. Who would care about not swearing in a zombie apocalypse, really?

Who cares about not swearing even in real world, really? :D

[Zombies are Awesome!]

Its the freaking end of the world for these characters. They are just trying to survive now. If they want to vent by swearing up a storm i say let them lol

[Awesoke]

Who cares about not swearing even in real world, really? :D

Always in moderation hopefully. Swearing every other word IRL is immature and classless.

[kirby18]

Realistic language. I dont know how old you are but think everyone goes through a stage in their life where they curse about every other sentence.

[Master of Aeons]

Telltale states in their commentary that they match the tone of whatever the property they're adapting. So Jurassic Park has very few curse words and the violence is bloodless like in the movie. This source material is wall to wall swearing and blood and guts without restriction. So there you go.

[Vainamoinen]

People get decapitated, shot in the head, walk around with their entrails dangling from their bodies, blood is everywhere ("great game")... and people think it's "unnecessary" or even offensive if someone happens to say "fuck".

There's a logic I do_not_understand. As a linguist.

[dubesor]

Would seem extremely unrealistic without any swearwords.... and I love lee saying FUCK

To quote Clem "Swear"

Maybe TTG will make a christian-friendly version of the end of humanity via the undead at a later date...

[Rodia]

Unnecessary foul language?!


God, I don't comprehend other people's opinion!. That's about as close I can get to insulting you, OP, without getting myself banned from the internet.

[Vainamoinen]

A bit less close would still be appreciated.

ROFL....

Yeah, with Jesus riding down in a flaming chariot with Jerry Falwell gunning down walkers with a minigun.

To the OP: take a deep breath and get over it. Most real people use cuss words- they are legit and appropriate in a wide range of situations.

[Rodia]

Edited. Go a head, check it out. It's as offensive as a duck wearing shoes. :rolleyes:

[Nokando]

This thread has got to be a joke right?

^^ like Vainamoinen says.

Now I don't know about any chariots and miniguns, but Jesus is in fact a character in the comics :p

He really does call himself Jesus in the comics.

Well, of course. I'm not talking about constant swearing but one shouldn't be like :eek: "I just said the F word"

Jesus owns.

[donmike84]

sooooooooooooo we can have violent video games but we can't say "fuck you" fuck that man

[j.em26]

Swearing relieves pain and stress, believe it or not.
I swear like, almost everyday ?

[Milosuperspesh]

imo it's an adult game /mature content that deals with all kinds of shit, and it fucks people up...

how else do you explain a situation that is 'fucked up beyond all reason' aka fubar..

as the late carley said 'get the fuck over it'

let me guess you complained about gta's option to beat up ho's ?

[JPG619]

Great game, unnecessary foul language;)

Well the game is rated Mature so I can see why but I think it goes well with the game.

[Viner16]

Walker pops out

Lee "Oh F-.... ringles?"

Clementine looks up. "What's a Fringle?"

Lee - "Ah Fuck this."

[DreadMagus]

Foul Language is expected in a ZA.

If it were me, and a zombie grabbed me and tried to bite out my throat... which do you think most people would say?

A) Oh dear, this repulsive animate corpse is attempting to throat snuggle me, someone come to my aid.

or

B) Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Help me dammit! Aaaaaaaaaa!

Or

C) Get this fucking thing off of me!!!!!!!

[DreadMagus]

That too. lol

[QuarterPounderVlad]

Um. IT'S A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. I wouldn't be surprised if Clementine starts saying Fuck you Lee.

She did act weird when i told her better not to tell her parents that Lee is a murderer, She said You can't tell me what to do...
People swear. Deal with it.

[Couldn't_Make_It_Up]

To be fair I swear a lot!!

If a Zombie was coming my way I wouldn't be saying "oh fiddle sticks" I'd be like "RUUUUUUUUUUN MOTHER FUCKER"

[Zombies are Awesome!]

yea lol i doubt people would say "Why is that strange creature coming at me? hmm maybe i will just stand here and see what it does to me" lol

[Weili]

As someone who doesn't like to swear, I did find all the foul language rather bothersome. However, two things made me numb to it:
These people are in a horrible situation and they probably could care less about manners and what's proper when their lives could be over at any second.
As sad as it may be, there are people who swear more than the characters from the game when their lives are NOT at stake.

[raiseer]

I think this discussion (and expecially the different views) are mostly based on your respective origins. Countrys/Cultures usually have different views on swearing.
In germany we don't swear a lot, but we also don't care that much, if somebody does. It is just not that important. In the US (I don't actually know, just how it seems to me) there is a lot more swearing in RL, but it's totally inappropriate in TV, games, whatever (for whatever reason). I can't really talk for any other country, but I also happened to notice, that there is a lot of (hard) real-life swearing in spain and poland.

That's not quite accurate.

I can't speak for other countries but here in the US, the amount of swearing depends on your social circle.

There are groups of people who almost never swear to people who swear every other word. There are many factors involved including levels of education, income, racial and cultural backgrounds.

This is why you would hear polar extremes of Americans who are against swearing and those who are against it.

IMHO, swearing, much like gambling, drinking, smoking and other vices, is a sign of a deeper-rooted problem. A calm, clear-conscious person who is at peace with him or herself would have absolutely no need to swear (or any of the vices mentioned above.

Of course, no one likes to be criticized or be reminded that they have problems so this is why you have people who justify and support swearing.

[fanganga]

If there wasn't swearing in the game, we'd lose my favourite interactions between Lee and Clem.

I agree. It would be a better game without all the unnecessary foul language. I mean, what the fuck was TTG thinking, right? It's fucking garbage that doesn't belong in this great game.

i know right? I shouldn't say fuck even though zombies are tying to eat my fucking brains :D

[Cyreen]

There are just some things that can't be expressed any other way.

I agree.

It's not unlike a frustrated two year old who cries and throws a tantrum because he lacks the ability to express that his diaper needs to be changed.

[plaqueconspiracy]

Too little unnecessary foul language, if you ask me. Should've been a 18+ game. Everyone is struggling to survive the day and there are more important things to care about than keeping it Rated E for Everyone. If you're the type of person who gets easily offended by things like plain foul language I don't think you would survive the zombie apocolypse. I don't think you would cope with the harsh, offensive things it would have in hold for you.

[walkerbait00]

Its rated M if you dont like swearing than dont play adult games i mean i had to shoot a kid in the head the swearing is nothing

I agree. Swearing is a sign of maturity, get over it. That's why they don't let children be sailors.

Zombie apocalypse is upon us!

Food and water... check!

Weapons and shelter... check!

Curse words and lack of human decency... check!

Good man. Who would trust a person that never curses, especially in the ZA?
