I know we already had this topic, but that was way before it was actually implemented in the game. My opinion is, blood; yes, gore; no. I just don’t feel, that it adds anything to the game. DB has not become cooler, because it’s there now and it doesn’t look funny either; like in Loadout. I even don’t like it in Loadout over the long run. It’s funny in the trailers and when you just see it occassinally, but if you play this game on a regular basis it’s way too much imo; though I think you can switch off entirely there.
That was/is also something I disliked in Mortal Kombat. I’m ok with the fatalities, the overall brutality and that your char gets visibly effed up in a match, but they just went crazy with the blood and you can’t switch it off. In a regular match it’s still kinda ok, but still too much, but when you go into training mode and you try every possible shenanigans on your dummy opponent he’ll end up drenched in blood, from head to toe, it looks really stupid and gets hella annoying over time. It kinda over rides the whole design coolness of the game and I hope SD is not going in that direction. I don’t need body parts flying around to be happy.
Blood spatters and a juicy sound when you hit a guy, is perfectly enough to satisfy my need for brutality.
