Yes, games should contain more gore and blood. They are the "features" of war and the experience should be comleate. Not just for entertainment, I know that games aren't for learning about ww2, but if they recreate these events they should go for full realism. Gore makes the game different, it's not just for fun than, check Brothers in arms, events are scripted but are shocking when you see them for the first time.

Re: Thougths
 

sure, war game shouldn't become bisounours party
but i'm not certain that some kind of realism should be reached otherwise Game producer will forbidden their game to the people under 18 years old.

War is really violent, and many people could be shocked by a too much realism.
It's fun to see a gorey game about an invasion of extraterrestre, but less to see that when you want to recreate real-happened war.
It's a kind of repect towards people who have died in a horrible way during wars...

Re: Thougths
 

Quite frankly people are trying to supress and eradicate gaming. Guys like Jack Thompson and Arnold Schwarzennager won't be happy until everyone under 18 is playing "Teletubbies! Find the flowers". Over here in California our dear "governator" just passed a bill saying that it is illegal to sell M rated games to minors. Smell that? That's the smell of a #$^&ing a-hole lighting a match under the First Amendment. The last thing we need is games that are even more mature then what we have now.

Re: Thougths
 

Exactly, these people died there, many weren't redy for it. Now lots of people have lots of fun playing a WW2 game:
:runs to enemy and dies "****" quickload and all over again:
Oh, my teammate is dead, another one! O fine, I'll have to do all myself:mad::
Players aren't careing about AI controlled bots, they're just nothing meaning statists for many. Maybe realism, game's difficulity and in some cases realistic gore should remind players of what it was in real life.:nodding:

Re: Thougths
 

well it's not really in that way i'm thinking about the respect of the dead ...

it is more about the guys who have died exploded from inside because he's received a big shell through his body and all his internal organe are outside over his body,
i think that if the game is about a real war (ex: ww1&2), they should respect people who has never been found (desintegrated)/died in atroce way/ or never rip ... and so consequently censored this kind of realism.

Re: Thougths
 

Yes, but in many games theres not even blood? I don't want to have gore where people a crushed into piles of bloody flesh, I just want to see blood! When you shoot someone into the face, why his face is still unharmed? Why people look more alive than dead when dead?

Re: Thougths
 

I actually got turned on to learning about WW2 by playing MOH:AA. I hardly knew anything about it then, but now you could ask me so many things that I would know just from visiting boards like these about WW2 games.

Re: Thougths
 

I think war games should show the most realism. The toher day my cousin, who is 9 and in 6th grade, said that he would like to go to Iraq, get hit by a nade, and go flying around in the room like in BF1942. Now hes also a dumbass, but is this the immpression we put on kids when they see soldiers who are fighting for the kids freedom just goes flying across the room like a rag doll and not showing what really happens?

Re: Thougths
 

More blood would be good, but some games go overboard with the gore and blood. The videos I saw of Day of Defeat: S had FOUNTAINS of blood. It was ridiculous. Unless the bullet hits an artery, you won't see a lot blood "spraying" on the outside of the body. If you get shot of the face, sure, there's going to be blood. But if you catch a bullet in the chest there will not be "OMG BLOOD AND GORE"

Arty is a different matter. That's where I'd like gore and blood. Much more realistic, not this "fly in the air and land in one piece" garbage. I hate the fact that if arty hits you in bf2 you fly about 50 feet in the air.

Re: Thougths
 

My personal belief is that games should be fun. If it's fun to blow things up then they shoudl put it in a game, if it's fun to shoot people in a game then put it in, if it's fun to run over hookers then put it in the game. If parents can't control their children it's their own problem. Maybe they should get off their sorry a**es and campaign against REAL war and other REAL problems.

With this in mind blood and gore don't make the game particularly more enjoyable, but for purposes of immersion it should be included in a realistic way.

Another thing lacking though is a sense of comradship between players. It may sound strange but i was really worrying about my buddies when playing Brother's in Arms. When I saw they were getting injured it really freaked me out because in a way it felt like I was playing with the AI rather then around it.

Most games are lacking this, including all of my favorites such as Call of Duty and the MOH series(weel that series sucks now so I don't realyl care about it too much now)
