Gore Mode?

[lizardman]

Hello all,
just started playing HL2 and was wondering if there is no gore mode? I have the english version. Do I have to enable the gore mode someohow or didn't they even included blood this time?? I mean beating the soldier corpses looks like fun but where is the blood please??

 

[dorrus]

Hmm... Maybe your decal limit is set to zero.

 

[LittleB]

There is some blood... Mostly when you shoot them and they're by a wall.. Slapping bodies with a crowbar doesn't really work.

 

[f|uke]

There is blood.. but sadly a lack of realistic gore.

Yeah, we should be able to pry out chunks of Combine flesh with crowbars.


Mmmm.... Combine meat...

 

[lizardman]

Hum ok, have only shot once or twice yet with the pistol. Maybe didn't saw the blood. But what a pity I thought it's exaggerated with gibbing like HL1 was when you hit a corpse with the crowbar too often. I gotta check my decal limit..!

 

[f|uke]

No gibbing at all.

 

[luketabor]

not true, shoot an antlion with a shotty from up close for some nice gibs.

 

[f|uke]

Er. Ok. No human (or zombie) gibs.

 

[luketabor]

ok, true dat.

 

[Redjackel]

zombies split in half which is cool

 

[Asuka]

I think the gore is just fine dunno.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Ragdoll is cooler if you ask me.

 

[CommandoSR]

No, ragdolls that GIB are cooler
It should be done in the way of HL1: Source.

 

[Revenge]

The gunship usually gibs when killed

 

[LordBug]

I miss my old HL1 oversized patches of blood when you shoot/beat anything up, the joy of painting with pastels (Soldier lying dead on the ground, in front of a turret. You control turret, and shoot body. Body doesn't gib, but paints a massive amount of decal goodness on the ground behind it), and the wonder of the bits of gibs sliding about.

Ahhh, I still remember the first time I gibbed a grunt in HL1:Uplink, and watching the skull bounce for a bit until coming to a rest. That was the greatest


Imagine adding a Soldier of Fortune gib style to HL2. God that'd be something to witness.

 

[Danimal]

Ok so there is no:

-Human
-Vortiguant
-Piegon
-crow
-other animals like that
-bottles of rotten milk

gibs

Besides, "It can easily be modded in"

Counter-strike Resident Evil --- woo text ads.... ;(

 

[kaiser200]

yea and there is even no good decals on bodies
since there is no decals on killed foes - the last fatal and therefore most importan bullet hole doesn't appear!!!
(it would be even beter if there is no any decals than with that shitty bug... eee)

 

[TheAmazingRando]

Ragdoll plus gibbing = Messy Gaming Bliss

 

[Goethe]

I was gonna start a thread on this.... I do agree with many of you, it is too bad that there isn't enough blood

If I remember correctly HL1 had a "Gore Level" option. No such thing in HL2 though.

 

[MiccyNarc]

At this point the level of blood is excessive, unless we are going by Hollywood's standards.

 

[TheAmazingRando]

I want Quinton Tarantino levels of blood!

-Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face.

 

[Sharrd]

I'm just happy it didn't end up like Doom 3's "gibbing" did.

 

[ButtHoleMcGee]

Gibs in hl1 aren't even in the same league as the gibs in the old Mortal Kombat games. Just the fact that the fighters in MK blew up into several thousand arms and skulls shows the awesomeness that is gibs.

Your signature made me laugh

 

[Bedwetting Type]

Just one time, I shot a headcrab in mid-jump with the gravity gun and it gibbed into 3 human skulls. What the???

 

[Flyingdebris]

I want my gibs!

if i nail someone in the face with an rpg, they will be in no condition to ragdoll, well, maybe half of him will.

Odd isn't it, the better the graphics get, the worse the gibs get or the less likely you are to be able to make them.

 

[Sid Burn]

Well, "dead" bodies can no longer produce blood even wen you shoot them. Only alive one does...

 

[Spiffe]

Er. Ok. No human (or zombie) gibs.

He he... Actually.. There's plenty of zombie gibbing. The are cut in half and the parts bouncing around and everything..

BUT.... There is no real gibbing... It's just some anties and the zombie that always are cut in half..
I sure hope HL3 will include gibs a la quake/HL1.

Ragdolling are cool... But some gibs would ber nice aswell

!!->Thumbs up for the gory games<-!!

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I was gonna start a thread on this....

ah thank god someone bumped this one then

Someone will mod in all thar gibbing stuff...i want skulls and bones and stuff online at some point. You can already spawn skulls...so thats a start.

 

[ray_MAN]

What chopping a zombie in half isn't enough?! It must be enough, because it came third on Time Magazine's Most Violent Game List. :|

 

[Great Grizzly]

i hate the gibbing, way too over the top, very unrealistic

 

[Goethe]

what are you refering to when you say you hate the 'gibbing'?

 

[Great Grizzly]

what do you think?

 

[Flyingdebris]

true, but not having gibbing is just as weird when we are talking about nailing someone up the nose with an rpg

 

[Rama]

I was researching this, as I have the XBOX version and my game doesn't have gibs either.

The reason I started researching it was because of this gif:

This gif shows gibbing going on...so what's the deal?

EDIT: I know this is a major thread revival, but I just recently bought the game for XBOX and was dying to know.

 

[mastag]

wowzers this thread is almost a year old.
