{{Video Game Examples Need Sorting}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* ''[[House of the Dead]]: Overkill'' have a character who use this every sentence (and opened the game with "What's up, motherfucker?!"). Ironically when someone is actually a literal [[Parental Incest|Motherfucker]] he doesn't use it.
** The game is placed at the top because it is the first game ever to win a Guinness World Record in video games [https://web.archive.org/web/20090504201617/http://gamers.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/160309_HOTD.aspx for this trope]. The final F-bomb count? 189.
* ''[[
* ''[[
* Fucking ''Kingpin''. Fucking ''[[Kingpin Life of Crime]]''. The game was just as excuse to use fuck as many times as fucking possible.
** The swear density was so ridiculously high in this game that it made ''[[Scarface]]'' look tame in comparison. Fuck you fuck!
* ''[[Company of Heroes]]: Opposing Fronts'' features much more swearing than the original game. The British say "wanker" a lot, and the Germans use such colourful expressions as "Leck mich im Arsch" (also the title of a [[wikipedia:Leck mich im Arsch|composition by Mozart]] which your school music teacher probably didn't teach you) and "[[Hurens Ã]]¶hne".
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' was the first GTA game to make use of F-bombs, and dropped them at every available opportunity. One gaming magazine retrospective complained that it made the characters sound less like bad ass gangstas and more like twelve-year-olds out of adult earshot.
** 365 times, to be exact. And that's not including pedestrian dialog & [[GTA Radio|radio]].
** People who find the swearing in San Andreas unrealistic [[Reality Is Unrealistic|have never lived in]] [[Justified Trope|southern California gangland]]. Or any low-income area, for that matter.
Line 15 ⟶ 18:
** Considering the game is T, and it uses profanity of varing degrees VERY liberally, it should be in a trope of its own. Most notably, it seems that Barrett drops the F-Bomb every ten minutes, and its BLEEPED OUT WITH RANDOM SYLLABLES!
** A crowning moment of cursing comes from the flashback about Cid's original launch attempt into space. Right when the launch is about to happen, he leaps out a huge, uncensored "SHIIIIIIIIIT" before aborting the launch to save Shera. Definitely not a humorous moment, but it is probably the best example of the cursing the game involves.
* "Fuck you, Kazuma," is pretty much ''[[Ryu ga Gotoku
* In ''[[The Longest Journey]]'' there is a character named "The Flipper" who averages 2-3 swear words per sentence, even introducing himself as "The Fucking Flipper" at one point.
* ''[[
* Parodied in the "Meet the Demoman" trailer for ''[[
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfCiOzL7cYs ULTIMATE] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncLuJRvt7E0 NERD] [[Unstoppable Rage|RAGE!!!]] I advice you lower down your speaker volume.
* The multiplayer announcer in ''[[Kane and Lynch]]'' has a tendency to drop these, especially by by spamming "fucking traitor, make him pay" after every "friendly"-fire kill, which happen often in the game.
** Not to mention the single player game.

** Lynch will also begin screaming random curses during his psychotic breakdowns. Of course, he always talks like that anyway.
* Both ''[[Max Payne (
** The first game is largely non-profane, with the biggest offenses being the word 'Bullshit' once by Max, and screwing, quite frequently, by Vinnie. In the sequel, Vinni is a regular Joe Pesci.
* The game ''[[Metal Arms]]: A Glitch in the System'' has a character named Krunk, a robot who looks like a potbellied war vet, and because all the characters are robots, has a censor bleep. For example, "Of course I f*** ing fixed him. It was a huge pain in the f*** ing wastepan, 'cuz he's some kind of custom jobbie!" He's also playable for one level, and curses whenever you're shot or if you die.
* In ''[[
* The first fucking words spoken by the main fucking character of the Wii (the fucking "family console") game ''[[No More Heroes]]'', Travis Mother Fucking Touchdown, is a rousing fucking shout of "Fuckheads!" as he fucking decapitates several fucking guards. You can sure as fuck expect more of the same during the rest of the fucking game.
** "That's fucked up! That's the stupidest rule I've ever heard! This guy's mine, and you want me to just let him go? Bitch?! Whatever, but this dude says he wants to fight, and ain't nothing gonna stop him. This ass clown right here is-- Hey! He's gone! Mister Sir Henry Motherfucker, he just jetted! What a pussy!" {{spoiler|(said right after Henry [[Kill Steal|kills Letz Shake before Travis gets his shot]])}}
** "This isn't a battle anymore it's a ''mother fucking war''!"
** [[Finishing Move|FUCK YOU!]]
** The battle between Travis and Skelter Helter in [[No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle]] is mostly a swapping of constant "FUCK YOU!"s.
* The Wii game ''[[
** The Black Motherfucking Baron (stop starin') is all about this. His memorable pre-Bloodbath Challenge tirades almost always use "fuck" and other such swears. An example, for Money Shot II:

* One of the admins of ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'', mr skullhead, had a [http://asym.kingdomofloathing.com/vb/showthread.php?t=163859&page=2 truly epic example]{{Dead link}} when people started whining after Crimbo 2008.
* [[Gears of War|Delta squad is your house, bitch! You hear that shit? You grubby-ass bitches are goin' down! Like way down-dead down, so down you ain't even goona know which way is up! Your asses are gonna be cryin' to your skank-ass queen, 'Oh, mommy, don't let the bad man hurt us!' Fuck you! We're gonna whup your mamma's ass. Whoo-!]]
* Colonel Vanek, a major villain from ''[[
** Lt. Stokes also doesn't give a fuck what people think about her language.

** ''Fuck'' Madagascar...
* In the visual novel ''Kira Kira'', one scene features the main characters 'learning how to swear', as they're trying to become punk rockers and punk rockers swear a lot.
** Naturally, this leads to hilarious situations with improper use of the word, made even funnier by the awkward Japanese pronunciation:
{{quote|
'''Maejima''': "Yo, have you decided what the fuck you're going to order?"
'''Kirari''' (smiling innocently): "So this mother fucker customer wants a fuckin' beer, right?"
'''Manager''': "What are you saying?"
'''Maejima and Kirari''': "Nothing! Fuck off!" }}
*** Maejima was told not to come back to work for a month after this scene.
* ''[[The Witcher]]'' is quite generous with its swearing. But then there's also Thaler, who starts dropping cluster F-bombs as soon as he opens his mouth.
* ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' is usually just over the top violence but the spinoff ''[[Mortal Kombat
* In a game that has a fair amount of profanity, it's something of a surprise that one of the most vulgar characters in ''[[Fallout 3]]'' is the child mayor of the kids-only city Little Lamplight.
** Which makes his [[Immortality]] so fucking annoying, since you want to kill that [[Ungrateful Bastard|ungrateful asshat son of a bitch]]. At least [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrVQUcVHV1E PC users can mod and spank that shitface] with a [[Chainsaw Good|CHAINSAW]].
Line 59 ⟶ 62:
* In ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', {{spoiler|when you take control of Joker while the Normandy is overrun with Collectors}}, half his dialogue during the sequence is repetitions of "shit!" And who can blame him?
* In one very memorable sequence in ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'', main character John Marston joins in on a poker game between [[The Obi-Wan|Landon Ricketts]], a couple of Mexicans and a German. When a few hands go Marston's way, the German, Muller, falsely accuses Marston of looking at his cards and is none too happy:

** A little [[Anachronism Stew|anachronistic]], since [[Gosh Darn It to Heck]] really ''were'' the worst swear words people said in those days.
*** Waaaay worse than [[Gosh Darn It to Heck]] were used...just go back and read a lot of the dime novels popular back in the day.
*** As noted by the makers of ''Deadwood'', while [[Gosh Darn It to Heck]] would be accurate, it doesn't sound very good when it's actually used by today's standards.
* The protagonist of ''[[Silent Hill Homecoming]]'', Alex Shephard, swears a lot more than others when he faces some disgusting monsters.
* ''Mafia II'' has recently (i.e. today, Sep 21st), been given a Guinness world record for the most uses of 'fuck' in a video game. The amount? Well, they stopped counting at 200, but they requested a game script for a final tally.
* Kaine from the game ''[[

** In the [[Prototype 2|sequel]], the player character is nothing so much as a vengeance-guided [[Cluster F-Bomb]].
* Cass, from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]''.
** In the same game, Boxcars, the crippled Powder Ganger in Nipton. If you're vilified with the Powder Gangers, he manages to fit "fuck" into ''almost literally'' every line of dialogue, sometimes multiple times.
* From ''[[Bayonetta]]'', we have Enzo, Rodin and Luka.
* In ''[[

** Specifically, hitting an enemy's weak point with Coyote will cause him to say "You're fucked!" each time.
* In the ''[[Dragon Age]]'' DLC ''Leliana's Song'', [[Big Bad]] Commander Raleigh lets loose a string of curses right before you fight him.

* Because their [[Speaking Simlish|Simlish]] is constructed by cutting up the words "wing damage", Fox and Falco in the first ''[[Star Fox (video game)|Star FOX]]'' game speak mostly in Cluster D-Bombs. Fox's speech, for instance, sounds a lot like "Goddammit, damn dammit, damn damn." This was replaced in ''Star Fox 64'' and later games with [[Badbutt]]s spouting [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]] voice acting.
