Can I disable the Profanity in settings

[**ⓈHAⓇK**]

Wouldnt mind letting the kidos play this a bit if I can kill the f-bombs. Any chance on that or am I SOL?
Thanks and please dont troll me for asking.

I honestly can't remember much profanity, compared to Saints Row Dying Light is pretty clean.

Ps, no I didn't notice any fbomb disposal in settings.

[**ⓈHAⓇK**]

Thanks I only knew of what I saw in the preview videos. Wasnt sure what to expect. The game looks great.

There isn't much but there is some. Honestly, I would find the night time to be more of a concern to kids since it is pretty scary but that's just me.

Dude... You can hack a zombie in half with a machete in this game and you're worried about the kids hearing a couple of expletives?

How old are these kids?

[Alpacalypse]

You're cutting flesh-eating zombies in half, burning people to death and sending guts flying everywhere with explosions. How the hell could ANYONE think this is worse than a simple curse word? Death<meanie words, I guess.

[**ⓈHAⓇK**]

My question was answered already thanks to those whom did. My kids can understand walking around chopping up zombies isnt real. Simply not wanting them to think I condone using the f word at their age is called good parenting. For the record there are also adults that tire of hearing it as well. I will obviously have to delete my own post since there always be asshats that like giving their unsolicited opinions.

Your kids are old enough to see a humanoid figure be hacked in half with a machete but not old enough to hear someone use a rude word? That's inconsistent mate.

The game is rated M17+ or R18+ in a multitude of countries for 'Blood and Gore' and 'Intense Violence'. You should not be giving it to kids.

If that's true then they can also understand that a video game character saying a naughty word isn't real. But you don't believe they can.

Also these are not unsolicited opinions, you solicited them by starting this thread.

Why do folks insist on making it more than what it is? The poster never asked for folks opinions on what they think about cussing vs gore etc.... How hard is it to just give a simple answer? How about instead of talking down to a fellow gamer, we try to help them out.

Nice to have the option -- I think Dead Island had the option, I don't have Dying Light yet.

I can understand the desire for less profanity in a game. Some of us like our heroes to be heroic. I personally find people who curse displaying weakness, outside of having real physical pain or the need to give a final warning to some thrill seeker who possibly will not respond to anything else because he only understands violence or gutter hyperbole.

I similarly find athletes who have extravagant celebrations to be sissies at heart. I remember once seeing a show about the Pittsburgh Steelers during the time of Terry Bradshaw. They had a coach, I think his name was Chuck Knoll. At any rate, my dad was a fan of the Oakland Raiders so I was also at the time.

But you know what really got to me about the Pittsburgh Steelers ... it was how when they scored a touchdown, Franco Harris didn't even spike the ball, he just flipped it to the referree and jogged non-chalantly over to the sidelines, even after the miraculous reception, or whatever it was called. (And that was common back then with many athletes ... Jim Brown, the great running back, ran over and through tackles -- and he just flipped the ball to the referee as well -- didn't even acknowledge the would be tackler or the pain)

Chuck Knoll had the philosophy that a good athlete should act as if making a big play, scoring a touchdown, winning a game, was an everyday experience and shove that in the face of the enemy. In other words, the Steelers expected to win, expected to score, because they had the skill, had the goods, and did it all the time. So why make a big show about it in front of your rivals. No ... make them think that it's nothing to you, no big deal, old hat ... that you are like a machine, a robot, play after play you just grind the enemy into the dust of history.

Gotta respect that ... because in real life in the really dangerous moments, the real heroes out there, the policeman, the fireman, the surgeon, the soldier ... he doesn't have time to celebrate ... because after he saves your behind and his buddy's behind, there's another enemy to take out, outwit, spot, circumvent --- and there is another one of our behinds to save. There isn't time and it isn't good to be on a constant rollercoaster ride of emotions -- because you may need a steady head RIGHT NOW.

Way I look at it, a professional is the epitome of practice, excellence, calm under fire, of having been there and done that. If you have to curse -- make it count -- like when your medic takes that slug out of your arm so that now at least you can feed the ammo into your machinegunner's weapon. That's worth a couple of bleeps, especially if it keeps you from a letdown and some shock. But otherwise, if you use profanity like it is everyday, no one cares, and the real heroes are saying ... look who depends on smack talk and profanity to try and get an edge ... I don't need that edge or ever will . The real hero knows that his edge is that he's always in the moment, he's known pain, and he still picked himself up and went out there to do his job.

Profanity disses struggle, it minimizes achievement and pain. How else will you ever be a hero if you don't respect that which you had to overcome.

If I curse I feel weak. Now, if I hit a guy with a pickup truck, and he gets back up with a weird looking smile ... I KNOW I'm in real bad trouble, and trust me, so do you.

Kind of like how we never asked for your opinion?

Funny that.

It's almost like... People are able to give opinions freely on the internet.

You said 'asshat'. reported for vulgarity, I don't come on here expecting to read language like that, this is my safe place.

I wonder if the shirtless zombies would also be a bother.
