Why?

Why is every swear word censored in this DLC? During the previews nothing was censored and now i hear a little bleep everytime he swears. And he swears A LOT. Its like half his vocabulary.

He even mentions it in the game. Something along the lines of "You may wonder why theres a little bleep every few seconds im talking, because the asshats think my swearing is offensive, well thats half my -blam!- vocabulary".

Now i am living in Australia but the games rated MA15+ and has coarse language included in the description, and there is no censors at all in the actual non dlc part of the game. Other ma15+ games like gta4 have a ton of uncensored swearing.

Is this censor thing for everyone or did aussies get dicked out?

oh and i already checked, theres no option to uncensor dialogue. You can only toggle gore on and off.

There are at least 2 censor beeps in the main game, both during Claptrap lines.

And yes, it's for everyone, not just Australia.

During the previews i saw there werent any censors, one of the reasons why i was so psyched to get it.

The beep censoring of Mr. Torgue's swearing is apparently due to an alteration made to his voice itself. A random announcement from Mr. Torgue played in the Badass Crater area says, in part, "THE TORGUE SHAREHOLDERS WIRED MY VOICEBOX WITH A DIGITAL CENSOR SO I CAN'T SAY STUFF LIKE..."

Well, true.
But I played the DLC and I didn't hear any beeps, atleast in Mr.Torgue's dialogue.

I seriously thought of it as a joke. Adding censors just over exaggerates the fact that he is swearing and blatantly pulls it to your attention.

If they didn't censor him, I think the player wouldn't pay as much attention to the vulgarity and actually zone it out. The beeps make you focus and makes it funnier. :)

This. I'd take you out for a dinner at your favorite restaurant.


Quoted by a Mod. Call me a suck up, but I feel pretty damn awesome right now.

They intentionally censored to him to make his character "funnier."
