Profanity isn't enough to gain an M rating though. You don't need constant profanity, if any at all. I don't understand why people think it's realistic or necessary. You can have realistic conversation without it. I'd take the grizzeled veteran who's satisfied in defeating an enemy before refocusing on the main objective than the want'a be hoodrat that can't stop dropping f bombs any day. These are supposed to be "guardians" in destiny. Formal warriors of respect and wisdom, maybe with the exception of Cayde. It's like saying you need to add sex to show someone is in love. You don't. Subtlety in action or dialog is powerful. It's the difference between a making out scene against slowly reaching for a hand to have it be met half way by the other. Like the way that a pause in music can have a more profound effect than the most beautiful chord. Do you think mass effect is so popular because it has sex and profanity? Or is it because you form emotional connections with characters and developing your own interpretation of your character while feeling the tension of impending doom, all while you form a united fleet by ending rivalries that you are just beginning to understand, or the concepts of what qualifies as life? Do you think the last of us is great because it's colorful language? Or are you pulled in by wanting to resist the very worst of humanity and fight through those infected by a hellish disease while protecting a young girl that you become emotionally attached to? Do you believe that the scene of her finding pornographic magazines is more powerful than the scene of petting a giraffe because it's a more "mature" subject? The moments that you break from the chaos of the world that exists within the game are far more powerful than the moments of overreaction to current events just to have an excuse to throw out some profanity.
