* The one time [[Heroic Mime|Artyom]] speaks in ''[[Metro 2033]]'' is when he yells "guhhh-'''fffFUCK'''" when he notices that a derailed train is about to crush him into the ground.
* The ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series is very low on swearing, so the one F-bomb in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' is a laser guided Precision F Strike indeed. Delivered by what turns out to be {{spoiler|a [[Mind Rape|mind raped]] psychopathic teenage girl who never stopped her [[Laughing Mad|deranged laughing]] for years}}, ''"It's all so FUCKING HYSTERICAL!!!"'' manages to creep you ''like you wouldn't believe''.
Line 26 ⟶ 28:
** It bears mention that the original Japanese phrase ("Jigoku ni ochiro.") translates to [[Bond One-Liner|"Fall into Hell."]] and, when used in its entirety, is at least somewhat less offensive than its English equivalent.
** Also in ''[[Castlevania]]'': ''[[Castlevania Judgment]]'' has one of Grant's "damn"age grunts be a certain four-letter word. Can you guess what it is?
* ''[[Twelve Thirteen|1213]]'' has exactly one piece of profanity, and in the special edition commentary, [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]] makes note of how it emphasises how absolutely pissed off the guy saying it is:
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Westbury''': "How much these things cost? Is that all you have to say? You... You... '''YOU FUCKING BUREAUCRAT!'''" * BANG* }}}}
* The ''[[Warcraft]]'' games don't shy away from milder curses like "damn" or "hell", but the harsher ones can still be surprising:
Line 68 ⟶ 70:
* ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' has [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Miles]] [[The Rival|Edge]][[The Comically Serious|worth]] pull around one "[[Sophisticated As Hell|What the hell]][...]?" per game, often a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].
** [[Ace Attorney Investigations]] has [[The Rival|Shi-Long Lang]]'s "{{spoiler|Quercus Alba}}! You BASTARD!"
* ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'' plays both sides of this trope. Units will frequently refer to "chicken-[beep] outfits" and not having time to "f[beep]k around", but in cutscenes "shit" and the like are thrown uncensored whenever it's deemed dramatic enough.
** Remember Kerrigan calling herself the queen bitch of the galaxy? The (unofficial) hungarian version made her the Fuckin' Queen of the galaxy.
* ''[[Bayonetta]]'', surprisingly, as Bayonetta herself actually doesn't swear much in-game.
Line 106 ⟶ 108:
* ''[[Touhou]] 8: Imperishable Night'', stage 4 with Marisa/Alice. [[Poor Communication Kills|Due to a bad misunderstanding]], best friends Reimu and Marisa wind up having an actually for serious fight<ref>the source material says they play-fight all the time, but this one was actually serious</ref>, and we know things got real when Marisa tells Reimu:
{{quote|'''Marisa:''' Bitch, get out of the way!}}
* While ''anyone'' would have a clean mouth compared to [[Sir Swearsalot|Ragna the Bloodedge, Prof. Kokonoe, and Hazama]] (all from [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]), Makoto Nanaya's choice of language indicates that [A] something is really not right or [B] [[Tranquil Fury|she's not happy with you]]. That said, she is more prone to swearing when [C] by herself.
{{quote|'''Example A''': What the eff, guys? Just because Mommy can be a psycho-bitch on occasion doesn't mean ''you have to cast a sociopath''!
'''Example B''': ''Shut the hell up!'' We were never tools, ''you stupid asshole''!
Line 116 ⟶ 118:
** Hisao tends to use some profanity in [[First-Person Smartass|his narration]], but the most vulgar he gets is when dissatisfied with his relationship with {{spoiler|Emi}} at one point, says he thinks they're "friends who happen to fuck".
** Late in {{spoiler|Rin's}} route, Hisao, venting his frustrations with his girlfriend, responds to her with "Bullshit" before verbally tearing into her.
* Cole Phelps in ''[[LAL.A. Noire]]'' loses it when his crooked ex-partner {{spoiler|Roy Earle}} snidely insults the dead {{spoiler|Courtney Sheldon}}.
{{quote|He was a better man than you'll ever know. You say one more word about him and I will ''blow your '''fucking head off!'''''}}
