Am I the only one who doesn't like it that swearing in games has surged this gen?

I could take it or leave it. The sexuality of games (especially ones with sex mini-games or strippers) is probably more annoying...or at least was a number of years ago, back when I lived with my parents. It was always odd when a scene was on-screen and my mom walked through the room, ya know?

But swearing? I can see that being similar, but it just doesn't phase me enough. Then again, I work in an environment where swearing is the norm.

Nope. I'm well and truly over it. I'm not offended by swearing in the slightest, but it's starting to get really juvenile. Especially in series that up until this gen never needed it, like Silent Hill and Resident Evil.
Hearing Jake tell a boss to "**** off!" In RE6 made me cringe.

Now new IP's that are meant to be tongue in cheek like Bulletstorm or HoD Overkill are fine, as are games where it fits the characters like in Gears. I just hate when it feels like it's added to sell more copies to tweens, as is the case with Dead Space 2.
