it's not gory, but this is always a fun way to kill enemies:

 

[evolution]

I did enjoy the stomping animation in dead space 2

 

[Mistouze]

Playing Yakuza 4 now, no gore but the finishes are brutal as they come.

 

[Host Samurai]

RE4 hands down best head shots ever.

 

[revolverjgw]

Manhunt had very satisfying sniper headshots. The character models had some sort of skull-structure under their faces and it would cave in really gruesomely. I was shocked the first time I blew somebody's face off. And saw their skull.

 

[TheVampire]

Postal 2

Yep

 

[Nessus]

RE4 hands down best head shots ever.

Agreed, but the gore/violence in general.

The shotgun was really satisfying, as was the rifle, etc.

I need to replay that.

 

[Piggus]

Yep

Hehe glorious.

ITT people not understanding the difference between "most satisfying gore" and "most gore".

ITT who gives a fuck

this thread is for celebrating all gory and violent games, no discrimination at all

 

[sonicmj1]

RE4 and Ninja Gaiden 2 would be my standouts for satisfying gore.

The fantastic feedback to your actions in those games is what makes the action so satisfying.

 

[Darth Kupi]

Too bad it was never released.

I played a bootleg copy of it many moons ago. Game was incomplete. Not very good, but damn fun though.

 

[daviyoung]

Splatterhouse 2010 had some pretty satisfying gore.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Blood had some cool death animations in it. Kicking around a zombie head was new for me as well.

Manhunt had very satisfying sniper headshots. The character models had some sort of skull-structure under their faces and it would cave in really gruesomely. I was shocked the first time I blew somebody's face off. And saw their skull.

You're right. That game had some great gore, and the shooting parts were surprisingly fun for a melee centered game.

 

[BGBW]

Mad World. It's like I'm really there slamming someone into spikes.

 

[Strike]

RE4 and God of War (series)

Honorable Mentions:

Shadow of Rome - I can't think of any other game where you could actually make an npc piss themselves out of fear or the choice of whether to crush/break/sever limbs.

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway - Very surprising amount of gore for a military shooter.

 

[abracadaver]

Blood
Quake
Manhunt
Conan (the action game)
Gears of War 1 & 2
Dead Rising
Soldier of Fortune 1 & 2
Mortal Kombat 2

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

TUROK'S cerebral bore

 

[NEO0MJ]

Mad World. It's like I'm really there slamming someone into spikes.

Same here. Boss deaths were pretty awesome, too.

 

[jns]

It has to be Ninja Gaiden 2 on xbox. The best part is when the gore becomes part of the gameplay, I'm looking at those wearwolves who throw servered limbs to knock me out of my combos >:E

 

[Snuggles]

Vvvvvvrrrr-roooomrooomrrooom

I do feel bad for not mentioning the Dead Rising games (not many available pics of the hugely superior sequel), so many awesome ways to cause violence

 

[UnluckyKate]

Killing Zergs in Starcraft 2

 

[RiverBed]

I think the new Splatterhouse did a good job in the blood and gore department:

 

[54-46!]

Gears headshot, DAT SOUND.

 

[Luigiv]

No one curb stomps better then the original.

 

[Raide]

I loved Diablo 2's gore. Was fun hitting some mini-boss and watching it explode over a 10-foot radius.

Glad Turok 2 got mentioned, since it has some of the best cerebral-gore in the world!

I still think Quake + Quad Damage = Ludicrous Gibs. Looked awesome and sounded great!

 

[Appollowexx]

Soilder of fortune was pretty fun at the time.

God of War is really visceral and makes you feel like a powerful killing machine. Same with Ninja Gaiden 2.

Gears' headshots and melee chainsaw kills definately.

 

[edgefusion]

I always thought this was pretty awesome:

 

[Snuggles]

Gears headshot, DAT SOUND.

it's like lightning striking a watermelon

 

[Arnie]

Gearssss

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Dead Space all the way. Strategic dismemberment is inherently satisfying. Flipping the head shot paradigm on its, er, head was genius. Hell, just throwing lifeless corpses around in zero gravity is delightful. The combat in DS2 was even sweeter with the added impaling, even though they overplayed it well before the end.

 

[lilltias]

Actually, getting a critical hit in Baldurs Gate is really fucking satisfying. Bones and body parts flying in all directions.

 

[SafeinSound]

Soldier of Fortune 2. Definitely.

 

[The Spoony Hou]

No More Heroes. Never before had I felt satisfied cutting someone in half.

 

[rem]

Fallout 1&2

 

[54-46!]

How could I forget?

 

[abracadaver]

the gore effects in dead rising 1 are better than in dead rising 2

 

[Salsa]

Satisfying gore is all about sound design most of the times.

 

[Snuggles]

the gore effects in dead rising 1 are better than in dead rising 2

I dunno, man, I can't think of anything in DR1 that compares to smashing a spiked bat into the side of a zombie's head

Satisfying gore is all about sound design most of the times.

definitely, those squishy mushy crackly sounds are very important

 

[nib95]

In recent memory, Geras of War sniper headshot

And Killzone 2/3's shotgun headshot spring to mind

The satisfaction of a well times and aimed exploding headshot. That awesome sound...lol.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

not gore but violence:
GODHAND.

 

[magicaltrevor]

- God of War 3
- Gears of War (Shotgun-kills and sniper-headshots, especially online)

 

[carlosp]

 

[Stumpokapow]

Can't say I really care much about gore or violence, but the fact that playing Dead Space was basically like walking through a squishy goopy liquidy bog wearing rubber galoshes entertained me to no end.

 

[TUROK]

RE4 has the best head explosion sound and feel in a game.

Turok 2 has the best gory death animations I have ever seen.

[Grayman]

The Quake 2 rail gibs are the most satisfying with their squish sound and spray.

Fallout 2 had really good sprite deaths like burst fire tearing a torso to shreds.

 

[revolverjgw]

No one curb stomps better then the original.

 

[Dascu]

MadWorld has some very brutal kills. You can rip out beating hearts, impale enemy's skulls and spinal cords on a machete, decapitate your foes or just slice them up with your chainsaw.

 

[bunbun777]

I liked eating folks as a giant in Fat Princess.

 

[Funky Papa]

Blood had some cool death animations in it. Kicking around a zombie head was new for me as well.




You're right. That game had some great gore, and the shooting parts were surprisingly fun for a melee centered game.

It is definitely a toss up between Blood and FEAR.

Meatiest shogun in the history of videogames.

Special award goes to Diablo for some crazy disembowelment animations.
