general Quick question on rating :)

Hey everyone, new to the forum

I was wondering if the rating is completely accurate. It says intense violence and swearing, and I'm wondering how bad it is. I know the game is supposed to have a violence switch, to turn off all violence. I'm not a wimp or anything, but I don't like body parts flying everywhere. I also want to know how much swearing is really in the game.

So my real questions is how little violence is there with the violence switch turned so there is no violence, and how much swearing is there (little to every line has a swear in it etc.) Thanks for the help everyone!!!

I mean, you see blood spurts, but you don't really see individual limbs falling apart or anything.

Actually, with Explosive weapons or grenades, you will see a few people (or critters) blow apart into meaty chunks... Also some of the story-related scenes can get pretty bloody, and I don't believe that the menu option switches those off. But the whole game is a little cartoon-y so yeah, it's not that bad.

And to be honest, if you're worried about a little gore, suggestive themes and swearing, you're kinda missing out on the bottom line of Borderlands xD

Tons of swearing, tons of blood, tons of violence. Absolutely no nudity, though, but there is sexual talk.


Wouldn't have it any other way tbfh

The names of the guns can be quite...sexual. And theres Fleshstick and whatever Tiny Tina says. Tbh I never noticed the gore.

You can turn "gore" off and the game is cartoonish but it is violence, torture and cruelty galore in almost every aspect. The "worst" is not really what you see but what people talk about so if you have any kind of imagination and is sensitive to such stuff it might be best to stay away from this.

As for bad language... well a robot have his f-words beept and one char tries actively to avoid swearing and they become comical due to the absurdity of it
Language is bad, raw and sometimes sexual and there is also lots of sexual oriented jokes on names and other things.

I know the issue of "bad" language, nudity and sexual talk is more sensitive in some parts of the world but for many of us (non Americans) those issues are kind of ludicrous compared to the violence and cruelty on display.
