I REALLY wish they had a vocals volume adjustment like the PC version of GTA4. The language in this game is crazy. Basically, your options are: Play it alone. or Play it muted.

Anyone else around? too bad. I'd love the option at least.

Why would it be a problem other than when minors are in ear shot?

Do you honestly feel uncomfortable hearing obscene language while around other adults?

Guise, stop talking about a console game in the pc gaming section!

Because games are retarded. Hey! Curse words are adult! Lets say them every two seconds! See how edgy and adult we are!

It's like some 13 yr old trying to be cool by cussing, and that is why it's embarrassing because it comes across as really childish instead of its intended effect which is to make it seem mature..

And before you ask, I am a former submariner,and work in a field of all ex military people..... so it's not like I find cussing offensive, it's just retarded how games cuss just to cuss half the time..

So it's not that I would be embarrassed by obscene language, I'd be embarrassed by the way the game chooses to over use it in an attempt to be cool in a way a 13 yr old thinks is cool.

Playing the XBOX version.... the graphics SUCK BALLS compared to what I am used to on PCs. How have console gamers suffered so long with such dinosaur hardware and graphics.
 
^ It's not near the gfx of Crysis 3 on my pc rig but I think I have the gfx of GTA V about as good as one can get it on my new native 720 Samsung 32" led lcd TV playing on the Xbox 360 S. Or maybe someone with a native 720 monitor would be better.

That's assuming a native 720 screen will give better graphics for this game than a 1080 or 1440. GTA V was made at 720 and I've read many who say to get a 720 native for 360 games. But correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. Anyway it looks ok enough for me probably because I want so very very much to enjoy its huge open world that's similar to where I live in San Diego.

OK, I guess I can understand your point there. It can get tedious when for example I am watching a movie with swearing in EVERY bit of dialogue, in a way other than just making me feel uncomfortable. Though in certain movies its just acceptable as part of the culture they are trying to portray.

So as in a GTA, its just the over the top brutal culture of the setting. Is it ridiculous? Absolutely, but that ridiculousness is what they are trying to create. I don't know, I guess that's the best way I can justify it.:bleh:

They captured the essence of the characters perfectly with their language. Ive only played the first 2 missions and seen maybe the first 3 cut scenes(with franklin and his friend going to get the cars) and their banter was hilarious and on point. I know people who talk like that on a daily basis no joke. It had me rolling and wanting to pl[ay the game more but Im waiting for that master race version.
 
Franklin is from the hood. I know people who talk like Lamar does, it's retarded but they did an awesome job of fitting the personality to the character.
