borderlands just got bought

@gamadaya

I've been budgeting for about the past month or so in order to afford both this and MW2. Not to mention I'm aiming to pick up a decent HDTV by the end of November in order to play said delicious games on.

Girly parts, tehe.

This is actually disappointing. I am looking forward to Borderlands as a new take on Diablo-style gameplay mixed with FPS mechanics, and was hoping to play it co-op with my son, but this changed my mind. Just because I like to shoot stuff doesn't mean I want to hear non-stop vulgar language. If I wanted that, I'd visit a junior high.

@ deadline

So simple, albeit immature, words offend you, but the image of a person being split in half by a shotgun blast is perfectly acceptable for the young'uns.

@ deadline

What you stated makes no sense... (Maybe Halo 3 could help you with all of that :P). As it says in the descriptions they make jokes just because the words are there doesn't mean that the characters only spurt out F*ck every time they see a dead body or create one. It's just telling you what kind of language the game uses at times.

@hpv
you know what's immature? BEING AN ASSHOLE.

or let me do this in your style...

hpv: You know what's immature? Getting offended by someone who finds a couple of fucking words offensive.

There are 50 million people without health insurance in the United States. That is fucking offensive. Women are getting acid thrown in their faces in Afghanistan because they're trying to go to school. That is fucking offensive. People are letting their children DIE because they think their imaginary friend Jesus doesn't want them to go to the doctor or get a blood transfusion. That is fucking offensive.

Quit being such a twat and have some fucking fun once in a while.

LOL. So basically, you're full of shit. Thanks for letting us know.

@ hpv: The guy obviously expected something different from the game. I don't know why he did, but he did. He is just stating his opinion. Did you ever consider that his son might be a minor?

Some parents, usually good ones, try to avoid stuff like coarse language as much as possible.

He's not doing anything wrong so please don't attack him. He's just upset that he can't enjoy what appears to be an awesome game with his son.

What the hell are you dickbags doing? Let's talk about metal shit like splitting dudes in half.

these comments = lulz.

On the violence over swearing buzz. It goes like this, 'kid goes to school calls the teacher a fucking retarded dickbag' parents must = bad. 'Kid goes to school and draws mutant being split in half by laser gun' Kid has a vivid imagination, that's ok parent = normal but probably listen to metal or something. Man I didn't even play games when I was young and I drew and talked about all sorts of violent shit, and I've never hit another person, ever except in self-defense. The fact is that swearing is really offensive to some people and listening to it will often result in you using it I would've called people dickbags for weeks if I heard that when I was in primary school (Sacks of shit was one of my favs). However we witness violence every day in the media in grotesque forms, but it's not like sane people in a non war-torn country just go out and mow someone down for the hell of it.

Obviously it would be nice to just be told you're a fucking retarded dickbag by a kid compared to having you're head blown off by one playing with daddies gun. But does violence in video games really make kids want to do that? I think violence like WCW is much more prone to getting enacted in reality than murdering people with guns, and not just because you need a gun for the latter, but people don't like killing people unless they're really bad like evil bandits in a distant universe. Sci-fi FPS set in the future on some distant planet this and even the NYC of GTA is so far off of the reality we live in, I don't think anybody with an ounce of sanity will feel the need to see what it's like in reality. (And then there are all the tards who join the Army to shoot shit).

These comments amuse me about how people don't mind DECAPITATIOOOOOOON but hate vulgar language.
I'm sure you have your own reasons for it, but it strikes me as a bit strange that you'd let a kid witness someone's legs be ripped from them but not someone say "dickbag".

Nonetheless, it's your money to do as you please, so yeah. There might be a filter for it anyway, ask one of the devs.

I keep waiting to hear "dickbarrow", as in "wheelbarrow full of dicks", but I guess no one is brave enough to put something quite THAT profane into a videogame just yet.

I'm about to split some dicks in half with Borderlands. I'll make my own bag.

HPV, chill the fuck out, dude.

This game looks completely awesome. I Can't wait.

@Kpax-

If I ever become a games developer, I swear that will somehow make it into my first title. Credited to you, of course.

Profanity: Language relating to sex or other disgusting natural functions that offends the sensitive sensibilities of the affulent, grown out of the soil of a caste system.

Children should be shielded from those horrendous references but should be encouraged to simulate acts of psychopathy in a virtual environment, makes sense.

(i will be purchasing borderlands)

Dont know yet...maybe a purchase...

American parents think violence is PEACHY KEEN but sex and swears are a "no no". This has been the case forever now. Personally, it is PARENTS and their SICK, FUCKED UP ideas on what is ok that causes the game industry trouble. "If my son sees boobies he's gonna get a girl pregnant and get AIDS!!" Wow, really? Europe must be a ghost continent full of AIDS and underage moms...

Is it asking too much to expect the 'obvious' from these 'red state type games' where you hear someone called a 'tard', saw their feet off, then they are set on fire - and their wheelchair is pushed down stairs, falls off a canyon lip, into a piranha infested river, that is poisoned by industrial effluence?

And it's all a government program, and your family gets the bill for your execution -even though you were innocent?

An electric meat grinder as a melee weapon?

Where when you fall off a cliff your organs pop out like a water-balloon?

Where ALL the dead bodies actually stay on the ground for the entire match without magically disappearing?

And if it's got game saves, like in Fallout3 where you do pass over the same land from time to time, shouldn't the bodies decompose and get all moldy over time?

Or just grab a shovel and unearth mass graves. Mass graves of all the characters from other video games who have died and magically disappeared.
