this looks kinda cool i suppose
CUT THINGS
wow. that's actually really revolting. i don't honestly think i'd be able to play a game that had something like that as its chief gameplay dynamic. i can handle really graphic violence in a game, but really only if it's sensible. i was kinda nauseated by the way enemies can just POP in fallout for the first couple hours i was playing it, but after a while i got used to it. really when it was all said and done i thought it was probably a good idea, because it was just rather plainly realistic and kinda ultimately makes you think more about what you're doing. kinda amplifies the consequences of your actions more and shows killing as a real thing rather than something that the developers kinda senselessly glossed over. i would be less inclined to kill good people in fallout because i didn't really like to see them die like that, and i kinda feel like that may have been their intention, as they didn't really glamorize that part of the game.
but this is just disgusting. you're clearly meant to see it as COOL to cut people in half from head to groin. there wouldn't be a bullet-time function for this if that wasn't something they expected the brainless, rabid masses to feel.
i take back anything positive i ever said about kojima. he's just fucking disgusting.
