Poll: Gibs or Dismemberment

[SteakHeart]

Many games these days like to give you a faceful of blood now and again. There are two main methods of doing so- Gibs, which is simply exploding into chunks, or Dismemberment, which dynamically rips and tears limbs off of your enemies. There are also combinations of the two, such as Serious Sam HD's use, which can either dismember or gib your foes.

So which do you prefer? I like a combination, it gives you more variety.

I'm all about the Gib.

Bloody Mess Perk > Everything

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

but isn't dismemberment a more advanced form of gibbing?
I....I (head explodes)

 

[Pielikey]

Gibbing is groovy-pants the first couple of times, but loses it's appeal once you already know what the gibs look like after the fifteenth time.

Dismemberment is dynamic so each time it's different.

 

[InsanityRequiem]

I'd say a mix of both. Fallout 3 did a rather good job with the combining of both. Though at times, the gibbing that turns the person/part into a bloody mist tends to get dull.

 

[shadow skill]

Dismemberment please.

Left 4 Dead 2 got me in the mood for Dismemberment

 

[jowo96]

Left 4 dead 2 is gibbing isn't it? Its gibbing well done but gibbing all the same, Dismemberment is in God of war where you dynamically tear off heads ect, I think that gibbing is better because dismemberment hasn't been perfected yet and causes some really rubish results on occasion.

 

[suhlEap]

dismemberment is definately the best in my opinion. ninja gaiden 2 and dead space are the best for it!

 

[AlternatePFG]

Doesn't matter for me, as long as there's gore and lots of it. xD

When I got it for the first time I was like "Wow cool people explode! Oh and 10% damage bonus... how useless!"

 

[oppp7]

I don't really notice a difference so I'll go with a mixture.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Is it wrong to ask for both?

When I cut that guy up with the machine gun, arms and legs should be going al over the place.

When that anti tank round hits his mate square in the chest, fine meaty chunks all over the walls please.

Isn't L4D2 dismembering? you can shoot arms and legs and heads off, and they'll actually fall to the ground and stuff.

 

[jowo96]

yeah but they are arm gibs, they spawn a bloody arm and add occluders to the model, to be honest I'm a little confused about the OP's distinction then again I haven't played dead space, but if L4D 2 did dismemberment then leg shots probably wouldn't be fatal, is my thinking

 

[Sonicron]

Whatever you call what I just saw in the God of War III demo... disemboweling? Yeah, that. >=D

Centaur castration?

THAT's the one! Much obliged.

 

[Kollega]

If they must throw pieces of unfortunate enemies all around for one reason or other, then combination of both. Chainsaw abuse = limbs falling off, rocket to the face = indiscriminate chunks of meat. Simple as that.

 

[bcponpcp27]

The combo sounds so much better. Depending on what gun and where you shoot, either a limb flies off, or the body just straight up explodes. Fallout 3 kinda does that with the bloody mess perk option.
