Disable Gore option ??? | Forums

[Sojourner Wrath]

It's fairly well documented that you wouldn't want to kill your opponent, at least for knights and samurai. Why? They were worth a GREAT deal of money as a ransom. We're talking about nobles duking it out here, they had a lot of cash. Why kill somebody you could sell?

The current level of gore in the game is pretty realistic, it should stay as such. All the over the top sprays of blood get boring, and it's rather immature. Give an option to turn it off, but keep what we currently have.

No, not even if it's optional.

"Why not?" You might ask. And the answer is simple. Because part of the fun of an execution in a fighting game, is knowing that on the other side the loser has to watch it. That you have to sit there and watch me decapitate your dude, because I won and you lost. That small humiliation is part of my reward. That's why teabagging exists in FPS games, it's why the taunts in Uncharted 4 MP exist. It's a way for me to rub my victory in your loser face.

If you could opt out of that, it would ruin the fun of it.

Fun is entirely subjective. What you find fun vs another is going to be different. As such, "ruining" fun cant be an argument. Also, they would still watch the execution, they just wouldn't see a head/limb chopped off or a spout of blood. Again I'll bring up Gears of War. You can chainsaw people into bloody bits to "humiliate" them, yet they can turn that off if they don't feel like seeing it, but they still see the chainsaw animation. No one complains about that though. While I wouldn't personally use the option, I'm all for adding it.

I find it disturbing that people are okay with seeing men get mercilessly slaughtered in gory and horrific ways, but as soon as a woman gets equal treatment we need a filter option. To be clear I'm not totally against having a gore toggle, and I wouldn't be upset if one was added. It just seems to me that it would take some of the 'oomph' out of executing someone, knowing that it might've looked completely different on their screen -- but that's just a personal gripe.

For me, it really feels like I had sexually assaulted a women, of course, this can also be performed on male but unfortunately, our society has turned all forms of sexual violence on males as comedic and as been shown on all mainstream media for decades and regrettably even I have been conditioned to think it's alright..

Note that the Raider's execution doesn't explicitly aim for the groin, the fact that it occasionally hits dead on their man/womanhood is just a fortunate quirk of the alignment system.
