What's wrong with Lara's language?

[Torx]

I come from the streets of Gotham, which is a place that is polluted by murderers, thieves, occasionally mutants, and paranoid schizophrenic psychos of super villain proportions! And none of them ever used an f-bomb or s-bomb. Not even that mentally deranged filth on the streets, that I like to drive over with my new shiny batmobile reading “Rocksteady” on it, says this.

So about Lara. She is pretty and everything. And I gladly would exchange body fluids with her to share genetic code. But hell, her mouth could use some soap at times! 0.o

It's amazing to me that in the year of our lord 2016 people are still more worried about the f word in a video game than the brutal violence and gore.

The reason is simple. Violence can get thing done and can solve “problems”. Especially if those problem seem not want to go away, it can become a demonstration of power once you have found and deincarnated your enemy. What does Lara’s language do? It bores me. It’s useless.

She could try to tell that bear to go and f*** himself, but guess what? Lara would still end up being lunch. She could tell me to go and f*** myself, too. But guess what? Then I will just take the other brunet for a kissy time, because at least her mouth is clean.

Sqaure Enix’s cursing is always been meh. In Tomb Raider, in Deus Ex and in Thief. When I curse, I’ll bring your house down! What does Square do? Waste my time with empty talk over nada in their crappy dialogs that were obviously written for teenagers. -.-

I watched the movie Bridge of Spies. And Tom Hanks only used once an F word, and that moment actually was really worth it. With Lara it’s like every 10 seconds. Oh, S*** the water is too called. Oh, f***, I’m so not like you, mother! Oh, F here and S there, and F and S everywhere! … holy dang mother…

And this is the very reason why The Division is not going to be a first day buy for me. I will get it when it’s on sale. Because Ubisoft does have the same teenager grade mind set. Good thing though, that Ubisoft doesn’t have any interesting games. The Division is somewhat of an exception. I won’t get myself Far Cry 4, I had already enough of Far Fail 3. Maybe the new Far Cry, with those cave people is going to be better? That would be funny…

Must be a cultural thing, cause Lara swears a lot less than pretty much everyone I know in real life.

Being a young adult who sometimes has to listen to people of the same age's inability to use anything other than cuss words, I think Lara's language use is mild compared to them. Look up any video of teenagers/young adults playing video games with commentary... most of what they say is cuss words and sexual language. It's very sad.

Lara, while she probably uses the s-word too many times, is mild compared to most today. I'm just glad it's as low as it is considering.

Your sense of morality is seriously upside-down mang...

Playing a video game about shooting people in the face doesn't get things done or solve problems either so by your logic you should not be playing it at all.

[meep_meep]

Wait, are people seriously ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ offended by cursing and not by the stabby stabby and shooty shooty?

[CEMEPEE]

This post can't be serious because if you do come from the streets of Gotham then every other word breathed by most people is the F-bomb

[红色桦树林]

You are disgusting

[V.I SLAYER]

if we all took ehr palce wed be f-ing up the place lol

[Killzone]

Cursing is OK, breast physics on the other hand, that would be pure evil and over the top.

Oh, you seem to be very intelligent. Well, that is very good, actually.

Now, go to a person such as the Joker, and tell him why you are better than him. And why he should go to prison and feel ashamed of himself. And if you manage to leave his hide out alive, and mind that Bruce Wayne always manages to leave alive even with a still breathing Joker in his arms. Maybe than your smart theories a.k.a. accusations, will become actual facts?

Rest in peace… fool… I hope for your sake that you do at least know how to reincarnate! :D

I agree, we have to hide our women! Because the highest authority in existence, which is the universe itself, didn’t design females to be attractive in the first place. /sarcasm

And now you know why middle eastern terrorists like to blow them themselves up... NOT ENOUGH PR0N!

Fun fact:
Some primals actually do have colorful males instead of “sexy” females. Since the females require their camouflage to protect their young. We don’t want to draw the attention of a predator, don’t we?

Nope, not in the Arkham series. I'm a gamer, not a comic reader. But the Nolan movie was good, too.

Heh, w/e. It just amazes me that you see mouth-sounds to which we arbitrarily assign a slightly vulgar meaning as somehow being more detrimental to society than the fact that the game (like most video games these days) breezily glorifies violence.

At the risk of seeming insensitive, I will say that I realize that I come from a very different culture than you, so you have different social standards. But honestly my "prioritization" of the violence as objectively worse than the cursing really should be a world-wide moral standard regardless of culture. Words do not kill.

(I'm not saying that we should censor our video games.)
