Andrew, I take it you've never been in the Military.
Yep, I feel your point, there at times a curse word has no particular bearing on the immersion of a game and when they just say it for saying it sakes it gets extremely annoying. It reminds me of other games that just because they are Rated R think its ok to bombard the whole game with curse words.
I guess the youngins enjoy the game more this way... we're getting old folks LOL
When I was in the Military, it was much that way. I went to Paris Island in 1965, and from there went to advanced infantry training an attended another advanced school. It was not possible for any DI or instructor to string 3 words together without one of them being a curse word. I was not raised that way. But, I was able to get leave for Christmas before going over seas. At Christmas dinner with my entire Family sitting at the table, I said pass the F****** butter. No one said a word. Every eye was permanently affixed on me. You could have heard a pin drop. I was thinking, "I can't believe I just said that", but I had. I apologized profusely to everyone there. I explained the above to them and said no matter how hard you try, you become a part of the environment you live in (which is true). My Father, a WWII veteran, just looked at me, then looked around the table and said, What he is saying is absolutely the truth, and I used to be just like that . (God bless his Soul). I did promise to do my best to not do anything like that again. My Father said, 'but he will, I'm sure, so just accept it' and went back to eating. Everyone else just smiled and started eating. My Father got me out of a bad situation, which I made all by myself. But that is the way it was in the Marines back then and I seriously suspect it still is.
In the FWIW department, I do not curse anymore. On a rare occasion I may say a 'Hell' or 'Damn' or something like that, but for the most part, I don't curse. So, that's why I made that comment to Andrew, and he is correct about it having no meaning but done just for the sake of doing it. But, it is customary that it happens in the Military as a way of life. That story I just told is true, I'm sorry to say. It's a simple matter of life, and occasionally my Sister will tell the story on me. I just try to remind everyone that it should serve as an example of once you say something, you cannot ever take the words back no matter how much you apologize. So, think before speaking and make sure you brain in in gear before opening your mouth.
Well said essenbe. While I have not been in the military what you say makes perfect sense. It is very hard when you have been surrounded with something for so long to not copy or do what you see.
GTA 5, Destiny, COD:AW, and NBA 2K15 are the games I'm rotating right now. Tough to get enough time on any of them these days but I do the best I can. Gaming used to be a big part of my life, but as I've grown older, I seem to have less and less time for it, which is sad, but a mans gotta work lol.
Bought the Humble Weekly Iceberg Interactive Bundle that includes Gas Guzzlers Extreme and Crysis 3 off Origin December Super Sale for about 5 bucks now still waiting for my new GPU to arrive -___- so I can start enjoying some new games like Shadow of Mordor, FC4 and Crysis 3 of course....
