I feel like I have to come to bloodbornes defense here, it seems like everyone fundamentally misinterpreted that game.
bloodborne has almost zero gore. you don't die brutally, your enemies don't die brutally. Everyone stays in one piece for the most part. the most "brutal" death is from the black slime because it dissolves you. even then it's not a unique animation, it's just masking you disappearing. Bloodborne has excessive blood. The horror and fucked up aspects are around how deformed and unhealthy everything looks. hunchbacks, multiple eyes, gangly sloth men. everything is ghoulish or bloated. I'd throw you a bone if the backgrounds had it...but it doesn't either. everyones a skeleton or a bunch of bloody rags. What do you people mean "cut off some legs? well that's just bloodborne, thats how it be", did we even play the same game? It's like your mind put bloodborne in the same corner as manhunt or saw because "fucked up imagery".
I need to teardown the strawman being built, I see you making it, no, I don't care about the gore in the game. It's fine, skip it. I watch mortal kombat fatality compilations whenever a new game or character is released. It's easy to skip, it tells you it's coming, don't look at it. if you saw it, and didn't want to, you did that to yourself. I'm just trying to say it being bloodborne inspired isn't an excuse for gore because bloodborne wasn't gory in the first place. I don't equate cartoon ass amounts of blood to gore, those are separate. blood are just impact indicators. they're like POW onomatopoeia but for gritty tones. it might sound like i'm salty, i'm just genuinely more confused than anything.
