Video game characters should swear when they get hurt
Video game characters should swear when they get hurt
Forget the grunts and moans. When a mudcrab attacks my character, I want to hear "god fucking dammit" and "fucking shitbiscuit" from my character. That's how people actually sound when they get hurt.
Bullet-sponge games be like: Fu-fu-fu-fu-fuck-fu-fu-shit-shi-shi-shi-fu-fu-fu-fuuuuuuuuuuuu-fu-fu-fu-shi-shi-shit-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shit-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shiiiit-fuck-fuck-ow-fuck!
It could be hilarious to have those censored in some countries and turned into old timey expressions.
God fucking damn it! -> Great Googly Moogly!
Crispy Critters!- Atomic Heart
Mix the censored version in with the cussing ones.
Ever play Q*bert?
I think Iâm GTA they swear when they hit other cars while driving, but thatâs more like road rage I guess
What if your character is designed to fulfill the role of a tank?
- 'Tis but a scratch.
- I've had worse.
- Just a flesh wound.

Far Cry 4 is set in fictional Nepal but the NPC characters dialogues are recorded in Hindi which is an Indian language, one time I accidentally hurt some NPC's and to my shock they started shouting curses in Hindi at me and attacking me. It was one of the funniest gaming moment for me. And because that dialogue isn't translated to English they just went all out on the curses lol.
I would be doubled over laughing for a good ten minutes if I accidentally smacked some NPC and got "randi ke beej" yelled at me.
They literally call you Chuthiya lol
Kingdom Come does that.
IIRC this also happened in Insurgency. I seem to recall being fired upon while my character screamed "FUCK SHIT SHIT", bullets wizzing by.
Great game prior to changing hands and being nuked. It filled a niche between ultratactical gameplay and Call of Duty intensity. Squad does this alittle but not in the same style.
EDIT: Proof here.
The Borderlands games do this.
Aerith's not getting hurt but she does swear. This was hilarious the first time I saw it.
I laughed even louder, when if you walk away without helping her up she goes "Clou-uud!".
The Long Dark has this
Just finished playing Still Wakes the Deep and your character will do this. What's cool is it's not a scripted thing most of the time. If you jump from a height, he might yell out,
Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck!
As you run toward the ledge to jump. If he has a rough landing, he'll grunt and say something like,
Holy fuck, that hurt
I know it's not scripted cause, and without spoilers, it's a game where you will fall to your death a lot! So restarting checkpoints is common. Good game though!
Great game, with lots of swearing (and a very emotional story)
If I remember correctly it's not even that expensive when not on sale
Edit: it isn't super well optimized though, from what I remember. I do think they updated it to add a bunch of the up scalers recently
I feel it's very dependent on the person wether someone swears, shouts or grunts when getting hurt.
That's what I was gonna say lol like I don't think OP can speak for every single person, there are definitely people out there who don't swear when they get hurt lol
Exactly this. I don't think I've ever heard someone say anything like goddamn shitbiscuit, and only heard things like god fucking dammit when they've had time to stop and think about it.
It's much more likely for someone here to grunt or suck through their teeth, or maybe something short like shit.
in first descendant at least some playable characters say âshitâ in a few different ways when they get hit
I like that idea.
The number of F-bombs in Final Fantasy 16 is quite impressive.
Insurgency sandstorm if you like first-person shooters. You get shot at, and the avatars swear. Enemies and friendlies can also swear at each other. For example, the insurgent can say something like: we are going to kill you, and the American will tell him to eat his ass. So much hilarity can ensue.
I'm certain that someone has made a mod for any of The Elder Scrolls titles, well maybe not Arena.... I dunno. Haven't played or modded that one.
It's pretty common to make the mudcrabs swear when hurt.
Not the same, but when you start to panic-stump-your-feet-into-the-ground in dead space II, Isaac starts to swear
I am somehow reminded of Janes AH-64D Longbow on the PC, which would swear at you for friendly fire. Queue 11 year old me shooting up the entire base in the training missions because I thought that shit was hysterical.
Same with longbow 2, I still have some of the cons burned into my brain
Proceed to map grid hotel six over Roger, good copy, out ENEMY SAM 3 O CLOCK! SHIT WE'RE HIT!
In Wildlands, the characters will curse when hit. "Shitballs" was my favorite.
Gex should have cursed whenever you took damage for sure.
But then some American puritan might get their feelings hurt by hearing bad words in a game for adults!
shouldnt it be austrailian? pretty sure they are wayyyyy stricter on games there than the US. unless thats finally changed in recent years
Rocket Racoon has a voice line that âsoundsâ like heâs saying, âThat fucking hurtâ in Marvel Rivals. Iâm sure thatâs not what heâs actually saying but it certainly sounds as such.
"Flarking" is a Marvel space curse-word. I think in media I hear Rocket and Captain Marvel say it the most.
There are some gamesthat have the characters speak up and what they say depends on their personality, but usually they are not straight up insults
That would get old and become annoying very fast.
I'm good
Swearing doesn't serve any useful purpose
Actually, the Mythbusters confirmed that swearing increases your pain tolerance.
