I prefer bloodless - like BotW

I don't need blood, I obviously like games that are meant to not have blood and have a more light hearted tone, but when a game is meant to have blood and gore you clearly feel it somehow and if they take out the blood and gore you feel that something is missing. I think even if you don't like blood and gore you still feel that there's something that does not work as it should and after all you still don't like the game either way, so if a game is meant to have blood and gore it does not make any sense to turn off those elements. Leave the game as it should be, then if you don't like it you don't play it. Chances are if you don't like it with blood you wouldn't have liked it without blood either.

Games like Zelda and Dinasty warriors don't count, they were meant to not have blood in the first place so they are perfectly fine that way. But for example I think that a musou action game with more blood could be a good game too.

I used to be a ripple user like you, then I took The Arrow in the knee

Some games need blood, House of the Dead, Mortal Kombat etc. So in europe they normally change it to green, i dont know why flying snot is less offensive or something.

I'm not a big fan. In my experience it never adds any "fun" to a game, which is what I value the most when playing games

@Octane This is a bit off-topic, but just out of curiosity ... are you pre-med and/or work as an EMT? Your comment and your username (which reminds me of organic chemistry) gives me that impression.

I don't care much about blood and I'll always leave it as is as I don't really care either way whether it's on or off. The only situation I could see myself turning it off for is if it too annoying or distracting.

@shadow-wolf Close, I used to study medical biology, but I'm now more focused on molecular and developmental biology. The username is just random.

@shonenjump86 Dunno about the dinosaur, but the well one is Warriors of Fate (scroll down a bit). Apparently that scene was censored out of the international release.

Leave it on. Why would you take it off unless you have a phobia or your parents turned it off because you're underage. Games are way more fun with the blood flying because it gives you a sense that the enemy had been alive and you "killed" them. It's like you're hacking away at dolls otherwise.

Never take anything I say seriously. S'all you buddy. ;)
Mainly play on my Switch but I have 3DS, Wii U and PS4 as well.

@ThatNyteDaez That lines up with what I was saying, except you consider it desirable.

What are you, some kind of psychopath?

Nah, I still feel like I'm probably the weird one.

@Korosanbo ^^^^^

I could stand it if I had to, but its unpleasant, so I generally don't.

@GreenToad I personally see no reason to ''protect'' children from blood. It's a bit of a strange concept to me, not sure what you're protecting from. To me it's just a red liquid [visually]. Strawberry juice ain't scary either.

Well, you learn at an early age that you're made of this stuff, and that finding it somewhere on your body means that your open and vulnerable, which is pretty scary to learn. I imagine that before, you didn't know that your body could tear at the seams like that, and for a brief moment, you don't know whether it will go away or stay that way forever. Especially since your parents are likely freaking out at the same time or even before you do.

So, yeah, I can see why children think it's scary.

I like it in real life and if it looks good like in killzone 2 i like it in games. I dont really pay attention to it nowadays.

I tend to avoid games that have a lot of excessive blood and gore. Not because it's scary or I'm squeamish but because I think that desiring to see it for the sake of seeing it is quite adolescent.

I think if you were to compare the most popular games to the most popular cinema that the comparative restraint shown in cinema (when it comes to showing visceral bloody scenes in a realistic way) is perhaps the single biggest and most obvious difference. Obviously there are many very gory films but they are usually either very niche and/or restrict the use of strong violence to a few scenes - giving a sense of context and weight to actions in other areas. Mainstream blockbusters are also often quite violent but they are edited and cut so that you don't actually see the blood or gore on screen.

I don't care either way. And barely notice.

That said, Mario Odyssey should probably include the blood splat effects from Bloodborne.

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

You know, I saw this thread and expected to find people debating about kids, or excessive violence in media creating a culture desensitized to violence and suffering, etc.

I did not expect to find strings of somewhat sociopathic commentary about how much more enjoyable games are when it feels like you're actually slaughtering living things rather than just dolls. Apparently Treehouse Audrey isn't the only one off her meds...

@Octane Nice! I'm studying Biology myself, I've taken a couple Mol Bio courses in the past.
