As the title and description state, I got the Nathan Drake Collection today, and I'm shocked by the amount of swearing in it. I'm only part of the way into the first game, but I've already heard more swearing than I expected in the first two combined. I'll finish the collection but only because it cost too much (and was a gift from my family who knew I was planning on buying it myself) to just quit during the first game in the collection. Had I known there was this much foul language I would have passed on it entirely. I can handle some, but I don't want to hear at least one (usually more) swear words per cut scene almost, plus random swears in-game. The language pushes my personal boundaries, but it's tolerable enough that I can stand to finish. It's a shame because aside from the needless swear words, the dialogue is hilarious.

Now my biggest issue is that my little nephew wants to play it and I have to keep it muted for him to play (kill the dialogue and cutscene volume and leave music and sound effects on), and it's quite embarrassing to tell him, his dad, and my family that I have to keep it down because they cuss too much in the game, especially with me being a preacher and so being held to a high standard on things like this. And no, the violence isn't an issue for him as he has access at his house to games that are far more violent than even I could handle playing.


So yeah, can anyone who has played all four (or five counting Golden Abyss) tell me if the later Uncharted games have this much swearing or more? I'm really hoping against all odds that the game was just trying too hard to be edgy being the first in the series and needing to find it's voice.

I honestly never thought about the language.

As far as I remember, 2-4 all were pretty tame, with the occasional "s***" yelled by Nate whenever things get stressful.

I do not remember much swearing because I do not think thought of it. I have played some of 1 and all of 2 and 3. Maybe I was just not paying attention. I might play 3 again to see if it had a lot of swearing per cutscene. As of right now I can only remember 2 swears actually used a lot. 

It's been a while since I played Uncharted, but from what I recall, two and three were pretty much the same as the first in terms of language.
Maybe toned down a bit in the cut-scenes, but I'm not sure.It's not like I was listening for them, so I can't be exactly sure.

Thanks for the information. If the next two use a little less language then I may be able to proceed to 4 after all. I hope so because the gameplay of Drake's Fortune is pretty good and as I said the dialogue is hilarious, so minus the swearing I love the cutscenes. Plus I hear from 2 and on is when the series really came into it's own so I'd like to see where it goes from here. The first one feels like it laid an amazing foundation for what could well end up being a great series. Here's to hoping I can get to experience the rest and find out.
