Unnecessary Violence, language, and 'Darkness' in games

There's been much more games that have senseless violence and swearing constantly featured in them now. It was once suppose to make the game more mature and make it appeal to a wider audience but now it actually ruins a part of the game.

In a few games I've come across...

In GTA: San Andreas, there was constant cussing. To the point where it was just dumb.

In Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow said "Damn" almost everytime he got hit. The sad fact was that the kids loved it.


I know there is cussing in the world and I know swearing can make a game more realistic but overusing it makes for a sad attempt to cash in on the "extreeeeme" teen generation.

Anyone else have any games to add to the list?

How ya doing, buddy?

I know the swearing actually made the game more realistic but it still annoyed me after a while. Just like when people excessively curse in real life. There's a limit to how much you can tolerate.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No, it matters how much it is used. Shadow said it so much it just got annoying. I'm fine with Damn being used, people use it all the time but, again, everyone has their limits of how much of it they can tolerate.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

And Yes, it can. It can make you annoyed with the game and thus make it worse. Besides, Shadow wasn't even a good game to begin with.

Sinceless violence and swearing is just stupid to begin with. But since the kids love and want it, I'm sure many more games will continue to use it to get higher ratings.
