Poll: How much gore do you prefer?

[Nexoram]

It's like this, games and especially the ones violent or gory ones have to make you feel like a god, feared, etc. They do this by having your actions (the cause) damage the opponent/cheese/monster (the effect). In reality, if you take an axe and slam it into soft fleshy bodies you would see blood and guts, so the games try to replicate that and have zombies dropping bucketloads of blood. If you didn't see anything happen, then it feels like if you didn't do anything; hence making you feel weak and not like an all powerful deity.

I like realistic type gore for the game. Like God of War, hes fucking swinging around axes attached to chains. If you get hit with that, limbs and blood and everything is gonna start flying. However, if you get shot, i expect some blood spatter, but not much more.

Ahh, anyone remember how gory serious sam was?

Slightly more...this makes it feel like a game as opposed to reality while not being laughably over-the-top like some anime.

In other words, I want to escape with my game..not be reminded of the horrors of reality...but still have something hinging on reality.

In games, I reckon TF2's got it at the perfect level. Morrowind is too little and Serious Sam is too much.
In anime, it depends on whether you're Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan (doing it right) or Highschool of the Dead (doing it wrong).
In movies, realistic. Derp.

I like a realistic amount of gore. Like in CoD: Black ops or possibly Fallout 3 or New Vegas.

Realism all the way. Except when the game assumes campy qualities. In Kill Bill i loved the blood sprays. It depends on the tone of the game.

I absolutely love gore.

I don't know why to be honest, but it just makes the game more enjoyable for me. :3

Gore is a bit like ketchup. You can have lots, you can have little, but it's not very satisfying on it's own.

Anyone remember Soldier of Fortune 1?

I remember when i first played it thought the gore in that was awesome!

Shotgun to the stomach ftw!
