I love this game and played tech demo and beta. This is a game about killing, quite obviously, you hunt people to kill them over and over again, so you would think that to cater to the audience that specifically wants to engage in this type of behavior that there would be some elaborate gore system, yet it is the opposite. When I have downed a person I can shot him and he takes no damage. No visible damage, if you shot somebody with a shotgun you don't see anything like you would in let's say cyberpunk 2077, why is this game not focusing on gore, don't they know how many people rave about max pain 3 for its gore system? How could they not cater to a mature audience like they should and give it a decent gore system. It really would make this game so much better. And thats coming from somebody who absolutely loved every moment playing the game.

You'd think for sure they could add more with the MA15+ rating (Aus), other similar rating games i've played have way more gore, maybe not Doom or Dying light level is needed but you barely see a good splash of blood even using a shotgun to the face, and there's no blood on the bodies post-mortem. I guess sadly it could come down to money and target audience, the gore factor could reduce the target audience being the tweens, the parentals could say no to the purchase...how tragic

I remember Soldier of Fortune... What a game. Although I don't personally see the need to add gore in to this title, yes maybe some blood splashing here and there, but nothing like say, Killing Floor 2 or good old Vietcong.
During the OTT and Beta I didn't feel the lack of gore detracted from what I was doing, and really if we're going to go a certain route as someone inevitably will, Wildlands didn't exactly have a lot of gore during gunfights either (definitely around in the world and a certain cutscene, but day to day was fairly clean).
There's a shout-out for realism, and gore would be a part of that without question (although I don't believe games like ArmA even really went into it wholesale), but then GR was always somewhere in the middle of arcade and realism.
In the end then it's personal preference. I'm happy without as long as people drop when I kill them, but if there was an option to allow basic dismemberment and other injuries, blood splats etc then I'd try it out to see. It might just seem overcooked though, too old school adult action movie.
