* 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''.
** Especially considering the creepy nature of the boss fight, against an enemy who uses stealth against you. Cue the nightmares.
** In the Japanese released, the award goes to EVA in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'', who, when cornered by [[Big Bad]] Volgin, broke out the [[Gratuitous English]] to snarl 'fuck you' before trying to shoot at him with a concealed gun. In the English version, the line was changed to the more innocuous 'go to hell' - although it was saved by the voice actress's delivery.
* At the apex of the story in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' (a ''Disney'' game), Axel rewards himself with one of these for [[Magnificent Bastard|a job well done]], although it was rewritten into a different, F Strike-less line in the [[

*** In the ''X Collection'', one "damn" (from X no less) was actually ''added'' for some reason.

*** MMBN2 had several other times incidences as well, unlike the rest of the series. Oh, and the guy wasn't hijacking the plane, he was trying to crash it.
* Example using mild swears: despite being rated T, ''[[Fire Emblem Tellius
* In ''[[Gradius]] V'', if you lose your last life after having gone through 6 stages on a single credit, the announcer exclaims, "What the hell?"
* In ''[[Half-Life]] 2'', Dr. Breen, ever the the classy and intelligent villain, never stating so much as a "darn," let's out a loud and clear "Oh, ''shit!''" when he sees Gordon and Alyx are close behind him during his conversation with an Advisor.
** The same game brings us Barney Calhoun, the [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]. "Hey! When you see Breen, tell him I said "'F[[Sound Effect Bleep|(* crash* )]] you!'"
*** Although the crash sound censors Barney's swearing, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pptUBPw-VQA it's still audible in the game files].

'''BLU Scout:''' What the?...<br />
'''BLU Spy:''' Indeed. And now he's here to f*ck ''us''! So listen up, ''boy'', or pornography starring your mother will be the ''second'' worst thing to happen to you today. }}
** Doubles at making the Spy [[Sophisticated As Hell]].
* In ''[[Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia]]'', the third boss in the game consists of a [[Giant Enemy Crab|gigantic crab]] that the heroine Shanoa must fight all the way up a lighthouse. At the top, Shanoa gets into an elevator, tells the crab to "[[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|go to Hell]]," rides the elevator all the way down, crushing the crab. This is made all the more awesome by the line appearing as a sound bite rather than as a text box.
** 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?

* Though it's not as vulgar as the other examples on this page, there IS one moment from the normally G-rated language ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' that deserves a mention. When one minor character very NEARLY kills another by accident (by hanging him with a fishing line, no less), the almost-victim understandably berates his idiotic pal, finishing up by calling him "DUMBASS!" Complete with {{color|RED|red text}} and a slashing sound as the word as said, to drive home the point that yes, this is as foul as the language is going to get. Maybe they were trying to avoid [[Cluster F-Bomb|what happened]] with ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.
** FFVIII has two other notable instances. One is when Zone, one of [[Those Two Guys]], lays into Squall for letting Rinoa get hurt: "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" the other is when Squall and party overhear fatherly and normally ineffectual Headmaster Cid arguing with Garden Master NORG:

* In ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]', [[Final Fantasy X|Tidus]] calls Jecht a "self centered old bastard".

** Sidonis also drops one after you tell him that Garrus is trying to put a bullet in his head.

'''Sidonis:''' Fuck. }}
** Also, if you play as a paragon Shepard, {{spoiler|flipping off to The Illusive Man becomes this (Seriously, the man was an asshole. Who didn't want to do it?)}}

* Similarly, in ''[[Fallout 3]]'', if you've been playing with positive karma, you get the opportunity to pull one off {{spoiler|when you're being captured and interrogated by Col. Autumn, who wants the activation code for the purification device.}}

'''The Lone Wanderer''': Fuck you. I'm not telling you anything.
{{spoiler|'''Autumn'''}}: I'll be honest. I'm running out of patience here, and I'm not looking to play games with you. You tell me that code, or it's going to cost you.
'''The Lone Wanderer''': No, seriously. Fuck you. }}
** You ''can'' say this with negative karma, but it doesn't have that same OOMF to it as it does with positive karma.
** The game manages to switch from [[Big Brother Is Watching|oppressive underground dictatorship]] to sprawling [[Crapsack World]] world with one simple sentence.

* ''[[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!"

** Remember Kerrigan calling herself the queen bitch of the galaxy? The (unofficial) hungarian version made her the Fuckin' Queen of the galaxy.

* In ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', Sazh's baby pet [[Killer Rabbit|Chocobo]] actually pulls one of these off when "{{spoiler|The Pulsian Chocobos are being attacked by your mission target}}", which Sazh can easily translate.

* Some of the characters in Killer7 let these out after hitting a Heaven Smile's weak spot - young punk Con Smith jubilantly shouts "FUCK you!" and shady thief Coyote Smith snarls, "You're ''fucked.''" Depending on how good the player is at hitting the Smiles' weak points, this can quickly turn into a [[Cluster F-Bomb]].
* Henry Townshend of [[Silent Hill 4]] have a "What the hell?" which is used repeatly around the first part of the game.
* Heather from ''[[Silent Hill 3]]'', right when Claudia plan is about to come to fruition: "SHUT YOUR STINKING MOUTH, BITCH!".
** Earlier, when the amusement park changes into its nightmare version, "Oh hell!"
* From ''[[
* In ''[[Primal]]'', when Jen encounters her first [[Our Demons Are Different|demon]], she slowly looks up his body and to his face and summarizes her emotions with one heartfelt ''"Ohh... shit!"''
* Sam Fisher of [[Splinter Cell]] hardly ever curses, which is particularly noticable in Conviction, where he's pitted against Mooks who prefer [[Cluster F-Bomb|ClusterFBombs]] So, throughout the game he has a few that really stand out, particularly when he tells people to go fuck themselves.
** In Malta, having no family left, his agency wanting to kill him, trying to find a reason to go on, Sam is pursued by thugs hired by a drug and arms dealer to kill him. After easily (and brutally) taking care of the Mooks, he finds the leader who tried to run away, but ran into a dead end in a bathroom.
{{quote|
** In a [[Flash Back]] mission during the Gulf War, Sam is captured by (presumably) Ba'athist soldiers and is interrogated by two men, and apparently of the English those two men have learned, half are [[Cluster F-Bomb|vulgar terms.]] When they threaten to [[Electric Torture]] Sam, his only response is a quiet, gruff "Go fuck yourselves. I'll be here when you're done." For maximum effect, barge in and rescue Sam right after this point, but right before they start torturing him.
** Then there's this exchange. {{spoiler|Sam has been shot in the shoulder and had his hands bound by Grim, who for all Sam knew at that point may have still been suffering from [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] due to what had been going on throughout the game. He's in front of a similarly captive President, [[Smug Snake]] Tom Reed, and about 5 actual highly trained splinter cells, and he still drops one.}}
{{quote|
'''Sam:''' ''(still calm)'' Fuck you, Reed. }}
* The English version of ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'' has the ''[[Heroic Mime]]'' drop one of these in the form of [[Symbol Swearing]].
** And if there was such thing as a ''Stealth'' F-Strike, try using the Angry emote after {{spoiler|Ryu Kou steals the Magma Orb.}}
{{quote|
* In ''[[Persona 3]] Portable'', [[Stepford Smiler]] Saori casually uses an S-strike at one point, just to see what it feels like to say whatever she wishes. Given that her S-Link [[It Got Worse|keeps steadily rolling downhill]], the poor girl's probably due a few of these.
* ''[[Persona 4]]'' gives the main character a chance to say ''"Calm the hell down!"'' during a particularly... tense... moment {{spoiler|after his cousin/surrogate little sister seemingly dies and the main characters contemplate killing the man they think is responsible. The above line is used in order to calm down the protagonist's understandably furious friends and get them to think more rationally.}} The protagonist can curse several times throughout the game, but the delivery of this is what makes it especially poignant; He YELLS and gets ''visibly angry'' for the first, and only, time in the ''entire'' game.

** Ezio tells {{spoiler|Rodrigo Borgia}} "[[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|Go fuck yourself]]."
* In [[Rainbow Six]]: Vegas 2, when [[Big Bad]] {{spoiler|Gabriel Nowak}} taunts you about Joanna being shot.

'''Bishop:''' Fuck you. }}
* In ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'' Chris Redfield has a pretty good one towards the end, when {{spoiler|forcing an overdose serum of onto Wesker}}: "I've had enough... [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|of your ''BULLSHIT!!]]''"
Line 103 ⟶ 105:
** One of the things Nero says when doing a [[D Td]] Buster on an Alto Angelo sounds a lot like "fuck you!", but this is somewhat debateable since it's not as easy to make out as the above one.
* In ''[[Baten Kaitos]] Origins'', Sagi, normally a [[Nice Guy]], will drop these whenever he gets ''really'' pissed off.

** Likewise, you know Valkenhayn is angry when his language goes bad (anything regarding Terumi fouls his mood real quick).

* In [[Katawa Shoujo]], a few examples come up.
** {{spoiler|Lilly Satou}} never swears at all, but late in her route, she says "Dammit!", a symptom of her pent-up anger over {{spoiler|having to go home to Scotland and leave Hisao behind}}.
** 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.
