First game to use "that" word?

[Gamereviewgod]

Got into this conversation while we ripping apart 25 to Life today. It's appaling use of "fuck" is unberable and cheesy, so me and my buddy were wondering what game began the long downfall towards this utter disaster of game dialogue.

[Joker T]

I don't really know what game started it, but it's hard to find an M-rated game these days that doesn't use it at least once.

[Darth Sensei]

Who gives a fuck? :D

C'mon... someone had to say it.

[njiska]

The earliest i can remember is KingPin. It was built on the Quake2 engine and sported a sound track by cypress hill.

I so fucking many fucks in that game. Although it's gameplay inspired many a young gamer to also resort to such language.

[Sardius]

Voyeur for the CD-i. Used in the context of forced incestual sex, too!

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Yeah, the first game I remember ever having 'Fuck' in it was King Pin. And then after that, I'm pretty sure Soldier of Fortune had some f-bombs as well. The first console game I can remember playing that has it was Bloodrayne, but I know that isn't the first.

[unbroken]

only game i can think of is the original grand theft auto for pc. that game has some of the most vulger language ive ever heard.

Q-bert

What do you think those symbols mean?

[unwinddesign]

The Getaway? At least I think that's what caused it to be put in the "urban" style GTA crime spree genre. Prior to that, GTA 3 didn't drop the "F" bomb, nor did Vice City (which may have come out a bit after...?). Liberty City Stories/San Andreas had it them by the fuckload.

Didn't Duke Nukem 3D have fuck shouted out several hundred times? Then again I only had the demo and my memory is very fuzzy about the game, besides the fact that you were able to gun down strippers.

NO, Jesus No. Once and only once was the word fuck uttered during Duke Nukem and even then it was bleeped out. If you don't believe it's in Episode 4 in the police station, terminator parody.

If memory dserves me right there's a part where you jump on an open cabnit and Duke cries, "Yippie, yi, yo, ki, yeah, Mother- BLEEP!"

[Putney]

The first one I remember hearing it on was BMX XXX for Xbox and GC (I seem to remember the PS2 version was censored in some way). Not sure how that fits in the timeline though :)

[Bluteg]

"Yippie, yi, yo, ki, yeah, Mother- BLEEP!"

Wouldn't that make it a Die Hard parody?

[Jibbajaba]

Probably Monkey Island 2, where Guybrush tells LeChuck to eat a big bowl of fuck.

I remember how stunned I was hearing 'Fuck' when I was playing Deathrow on the XBox. But for a major current console I think BMX XXX beat Deathrow to getting released by a few months.

A better question is what was the first game that involved violently killing people. I'm sure that is predates the first game that used the word "fuck" by a long shot. I don't know why people find the word "fuck" to be more offensive that killing people.

Hmm, that'd be the Plutonium Pak (or whatever it is), right? That's not really classic Duke, though they eventually started selling that as the default.

Probably the Death Race arcade game (although I think at some point someone said those weren't supposed to be people).

For the f-word (text) I'm guessing a C64 game. Asylum?

Did Ys books I and 2 have profanity?

[Mattiekrome]

Wow, come to think of it I dont ever remember hearing fuck in a game before... what a sheltered life I live :(

Don't know. Violent death in video games has been around for decades though. Be interested to find out which one it was.

on topic:

I think the first time I ever saw an f-bomb dropped in a game was GTA for the PC, and that was after using a code to unlock the language. Since then, the amount of foul language in games has grown considerably. It does not bother me though. I have been saying "fuck" since I was 7 years old. Foul language is the last thing that is going to offend me.

your not the only one. Well I guess I dont play many violent games either.

[Joker T]

In Far Cry Instincts and the main character Jack Carver says it alot.

[kevin_psx]

Q-bert. What do you think those symbols mean?<------------- yep! LOL

I'm sure it's not the same game, but Leland's prototype arcade game by the same name didn't drop the f-bomb, instead having gratuitous vocalization of "cool" (THAT TOILET IS WAY UNCOOOOOL LOL )

How about "Farmer's Daughter"? (Or was it "Drive In") where the whole goal is to ___ your cute date. Plus other naughty words.

[Jorpho]

I quite suspect there was some largely underground work of interactive fiction (i.e., text adventure) that used it long before anything else. Perhaps even Al Lowe's Softporn Adventure?

Now, what is this Voyeur game?

[tom]

Never played it, but I'd say 'Softporn Adventure' as well?
And of course you could always type 'fuck' in a Zork game, and even get a decent response.

Violence in games...Space War (1962) perhaps?

[XYXZYZ]

I thought it was Bakutoushi Patton Kun for the Famicom; it's instruction to flip the disk was something like "CHANGE SIDE B AND INSERT TO FUCKING BOX!"
