What game has the most realistic blood/gore

because were all sadistic bastards that love watching red goo fly everywhere, what say you?

id say dead space

You mean realistic as in anatomically correct, or just as in the amount? Because Dead Space isn't entirely realistic (I don't think a normal human body can be severed with a single boot stomp).

I'd probably say Left 4 Dead 2 or Dead Rising, zombie games tend to have a little more research in them for that stuff, though it is odd they'd be so weak a single guitar hit can decapitate (in both games).

Death Cargo!!!1!

Who cares? Fancy blood effects don't make a good game.

I would have to say Call of Duty: World at War. If you get shotgunned in the stomach, your intestines wouldn't be intact.

GIRL with large breast. Everyone has the same character model, so its not fair to say multiple.

God of War, even though it was spewing everywhere.

Well Fallout 3 and it's Bloody Mess perk are at least the most entertaining blood/gore.:lol:

A great figthing game is a great figthing game,doesn´t really matter if it doesn´t fit the criteria of some harcore figthing games players,because they are not the only ones playing it,and overall,even though it may be a more "simplistic" game(never said it was the deepest or one of) than others in the genre,it´s certainly a very good and enjoyable one.

MK has good visuals,great music,great story mode,a ton of extra content and it´s a thoroughly enjoyable game to play. It certainly is one of the best this gen.

Dead space maybe. Or Left 4 Dead 2.

So it's good because it's better than the competition in everything but gameplay/mechanics (the things that matter)? I mean if you don't want to play a fighting game for its gameplay I can understand why MK would be a good choice.

The gameplay is pretty damn good,visceral and enjoyable,and requires,like any other game in the genre,skill to master. If the gameplay was bad it woudn´t have been recieved as well as it did. Gameplay wise, Shaq Fu is bad. Rise of the robots is bad. Pit Figther is bad. Some of the old MK games were very average. MK9 is good. Having all the content it has only makes it even better.

[QUOTE="Yangire"]

[QUOTE="Arach666"] Yes,yes Yangire,I know,MK is for noobs and it´s a terrible fighter. It´s also oddly acclaimed for having one of the best(if not the best)single player component in the genre in recent years,full of content unlike a ton of others that are completely bare bones,among other accolades.

Skill to master? Some guys picked up Mortal Kombat for a few weeks for the PDP National Tournament and got farther than actual MK fans. It might take fundimental skill to win in the game, but little to no skill/time is needed to learn characters. Recieved well? Depends on who you ask.

I agree that those games are bad, worse than MK9 but that only makes them worse than MK9.

But it has great gameplay. It's a terrific return to form in the series, and provides a robust cast of fighters who are all easy to playwith but a challenge to truly master.The mechanics provide a beat em' up feel that a lot of fighters truly lack.You actually feel like you're dealing serious physical damage to your opponent, and the set fatalities that each character possesses are extremely satisfying, bringing back old memories without ever really relying on nostalgia. drinkerofjuice

I agree

I strongly disagree, read my recent post.

So rather than liking the actual mechanics you like the visual/gimmick aspect of them?

critics disagree with you

EggHeadMan

Most critics don't even play fighting games/casually play them. If anything that helps prove some of my points.

You are basing it all on the tournament level of things and less in the actual game and if it´s enjoyable or not to play. You can have the deepest game ever but if it´s not enjoyable to play for most people,it doesn´t go very far,or at least it ends up not being as sucessfull as others.

And as far as depth goes,let me aproach this discussion with a genre that I actually know extremely well: Strategy.

Starcraft 2 is these days,the biggest competitive game in the world. But is it the deepest RTS out there? No.

Supreme Commander(just one example) is much deeper than SC2,but the thing is,overall,SC2 is the better game,and one of the reasons why it´s more popular than SupCom.

Same could be said about TBS between Civilization V and Hearts of Iron 3.

Depth is not a deciding factor to wheter a game is good or bad,it´s the overall package that counts,and again,MK9,all things considered,it´s a very good game.

SPLLATERHOUSE full of blood!!

Really? Some people have said Fallout 3 has realistic blood effects? Its realistic to slash someone with a knife and for their whole body to explode into bloody pieces? Or for me to punch someones head off into chunks? I'd say Gears of War is the closest to being realistic, which isn't that much.

The Witcher

Killzone 2/3 has the most realistic-looking blood splatters and blood coagulation

So rather than liking the actual mechanics you like the visual/gimmick aspect of them?

Yangire

I also like how excluded everything I mentioned about the challenge tower and the game's overall content. Things that add onto the gameplay. But no biggie.

We get it: It's not a deep fighting game compared to most. But this next part may shock you: I really don't care. I wasn't expecting MK to be like MvC, SF, or any other fighter that's highly competitive. MK is a great fighter partially due to it providing an alternative, being low on depth and competitiveness, but immense in pure satisfaction and enjoyment.

Soldier of Fortune 2 had some amazing gore effects. It was actually kind of shocking, blowing off a guy's legs and watching him squirm, or getting him in the neck and having him gurgle and choke to his knees. The bullet marks were an especially nice touch.

Soldier of fortune 2 still has the best interactive violence. As in, the amount of visible damage you are able to inflict on the baddies still hasn't been surpassed.
Some games might feature a better looking beheading or whatever, but overall I still have not seen one with that much violence.

I dunno.

Maybe Killzone 2 and gears 2.
