Goriest Games

[BolognaBaloney]

Fellow escapists, what in your personal experience, have you found to be the most violent, visceral, gory games?

Personally I would nominate, Fallout 3 for the VATS induced slaughters, and Soldier of Fortune 2 for it's realistic damage modeling.

this topic was up a couple days ago, so heres a question...

whats the goriest text-only game youve ever read?

Fallout 3 is cartoonish.

I'd go with Condemned 2 and Dead Space.

The torture chamber in Condemned 2 made me feel kinda weak and woozy...

Onechanbara made Gears of War and Fallout look tame. Good lord there was a lot of blood in that game.

 

[Ezzay]

Dead Space made me cringe at some points.
The maggot infested corpse with no arms / legs is an example.

Thank god I have a strong stomach.

The goriest one I've seen was Postal 2. I generally stay away from gory games; not because of the gore, but because of the general quality of the gameplay (hint: they usually suck).

Bloodrayne 2. I still occasionally play it now just to decapitate enemies.

Who plays text only games now? Are there any? *curious*

Ninja Gaiden 2 is pretty gory, if only for the ludicrous gibs. Not particularly gruesome in my opinion, but I may just be desensitized (I avoided all the gorn that flooded the theaters last year though, hate that stuff). A torso here, some brain matter on the wall there, blood covering every surface every 10 or 20 meters behind you.....all in a day's work for a ninja.

The goriest and most profane game that I have played is The House of The Dead: Overkill. The ending of the game has to be the sickest most twisted ending ever, plus it is bloody all the way through the game.

The first 3 I can think of are the gears of war/god of war seriesssss and manhunt.

 

[SebZero]

Dead Space. All the bodies....

 

[crooked_ferret]

I'm kind of torn on this... fallout 3 did have some nice slow motion exploding head effects though...

at the same time as said above it's a little cartoonie...

I guess I'm going to have to remain undecided... dead space just didn't have the effect on me it apparently had on some of you...

Nanobreaker FTW!

Even though its "not" blood, the copious amounts of cyborg goo that you splatter the levels with is actually measured in a kind of points system. And for the festive among us you can change the settings to make it rainbow colored.

Dead Space. All the bodies....

I had stamp on every single one until all the limbs came off for that bloody achievements as well...

Rainbow colored blood/goo?! I gotta play this game!

OT:I guess I would have to say Ninja Gaiden 2. The enemies could have been replaced with tomatoes and the amount of redness would be the same.

Onimusha 3: Demon Siege, if only for one particular battle. As far as I recall, it was one french man with a whip, mace and snake sword (I think) vs. over 200 demon/zombie swordsmen. All of them could be taken out with one well timed critical attack chain. Boy, was there a lot of blood after all the demons were dead!

 

[HardRockSamurai]

For me, it's a tie between Mad World and Ninja Gaiden II.

 

[Slash Dementia]

Condemned: Criminal Origin and Bloodshot were pretty gorey.

 

[Proteus214]

Probably God of War or Dead Space. Dead Space had that horror type of gore, while God of War was a bit more "brutally-rip-your-limbs-off-and-piss-in-your-face."
