It might be different in other counties but America is such a violent country that I don't find this kind of thing fun anymore. For me its a turnoff and I am starting to get into the camp of extreme violence in games and movies definitely has a negative effect on our society.
Maybe. It's weird like Mortal Kombat doesn't bother me. Maybe because it's so extreme and fast? I don't like seeing someone realistically lose a limb then cry in suffering as they realistically die horribly I guess.
Yeah thats the same for me because its pretty nonsensical where this is trying to be way more realistic, almost like a murder simulator. Though if you wanted to you can level a similar complaint against modern MK games.
Dehumanizing media which trivializes human suffering or human worth (both violent and sexually exploitative media) undoubtedly does have a real negative effect that's hard to quantify. You're more ok with Mortal Kombat because its basically B movie shlock and I get that, but the developers still ended up with serious issues from researching real gore.
TLOU2 was an effective game for me partly because of how off-putting the violence is, but having videos that are basically gore compilations kind of weirds me out and the idea of being desensitized to becoming unaffected by realistic depictions of humans being mutilated seems like something you can't really undo.
Great video, absolutely brutal. This game is a masterpiece, and untouchable in the combat department and encounter design. Just an absolute joy to play.
After my plat runs my wife made me play the entire game for her to watch like a 15 hour movie. We are horror movie vets and she has never been that nervous or scared while watching an actual film lol.

Why would you even say this? Comments like these don't belong on a video game website. Really twisted and disturbing to advertise that information about yourself.
Absolutely amazing storytelling. This is such a special and important game.
I'm also a huge horror movie enthusiast, and this game was a totally unique experience.
Thousands of hours is a lot. Like, an absurd amount. Watching thousands of hours of murder signals more than boredom. That's well past obsession territory.

The more impressive thing to me about that video is that I can remember every single location and encounter shown on the video lmao
Good, I still think randomly about that game every now and then

It could be fun for a distraction from the real competition, but the beauty of factions lies in setting up an entire room as a trap with half or all of your team inside. Nothing better than watching your prey slowly get too curious to stay away and then butchering the entire squad lol.
Same with stealthing through a building and coming up behind a squad with a Molotov and a shotgun.
Maybe I just don't like battle royale that much because the best strat is often to stay out of fire fights until the crowd is whittled down. I need that anxiety of letting my team down to really get aggressive about protecting our turf.
Well, the other user compared real life stuff with the violence displayed in the game. And I just added my view and experience.
Yeah, there was a time when my morbid curiosity was pretty obsessive. Especially in my early 20s.
And not just thousands of hours of murder. There's also accidents, autopsies etc.
I really would like to know what you think my problems are.
I love the graphical violence & gore.
Though this is not probably the "most brutal" Part II video, as most/all of them were the same brutality, lol.
But gotta say the headshots after them died feels pointless in this.

There was something about Mortal Kombat developers becoming psychologically impacted by looking at real life gore for references, right?

I don't personally play these games and I know violence in games can be a sensitive subject with many but this is pretty serious. Damaging prolonged effects and all that. Article: https://kotaku.com/id-have-these-extremely-graphic-dreams-what-its-like-t-1834611691 Get over here if old.

Oh yeah they got PTSD. Wouldn't be surprised if Naughty Dog developers also experienced similar symptoms.
The Japanese version heavily censored the violence in this game.
In this video they go back and forth between the two versions of the game:

Yeah, not a fan of the realistic direction MK is taking either but it doesn't effect me as much for some reason.There was something about Mortal Kombat developers becoming psychologically impacted by looking at real life gore for references, right?

Maybe because it's so outlandish / not grounded in reality?
I watched a VTuber play Until Dawn and it's so censored it almost ruins the point.
Maybe you should talk to a therapist about being addicted to watching videos of people being killed. They might be able to help you find out if that is healthy for you.
Wow.. that's a really heavy censorship.
TLOU 2 is a game that embraces this kind of graphical violence.. the game is a masterpiece and all the hate only confirmed how important this game is.
We won't see anything more advanced until the next God of War or maybe Horizon FW.
I think it's because despite it's realistic direction, it's hyper stylized and over the top so it takes a lot of the seriousness off of it.
Uh, I actually did that. I'm in therapy for diagnosed generalized anxiety disorder. That's where I learned about the term morbid curiosity (which many people have to some degree).
And no, watching that amount is not healthy. That's why I stopped being that obsessive a few years ago. Still watching from time to time, though.
That's not what I meant.. read my post again.
Did you even notice all the hate before launch?
This game was a huge deal because of many subjects that some haters tried to use against it before launch but clearly they failed. This game has the highest number of GOTY awards to date.
Also this game is ahead of anything we have seen before on the technical department.. maybe RDR2 is a close second imo.
Holy shit, I've never ejected from a thread so fast!
Probably the scariest sentence I've ever read on this site
I must be messed up, because the agonized voicework almost felt comical and over the top to me lmao
edit:
...and just like that, I feel a lot better about where I'm at because this is stone-cold horrifying
Yep. The most disturbing thing I've read on this site. I come on here to relax but now I have awful thoughts racing through my mind…
Just really shocking to freely advertise the "thousands of hours" line, with not a second thought that it sounds alarming and disturbing.
Watching death, viewing gore, etc, I understand having some natural morbid curiosity on RARE occasion.
I personally can't handle videos of murder, such as beheadings and such. Shit fucks me up and gives me immediate existential dread and fear for my loved ones and shit.

Sensitive about the microsoft review of the game?
Well, lot of developers at Netherrealm were also told to watch hours and hours of gore stuff to recreate MK fatalities. I'm not sure if the poster is a NR developer (or just into snuff), but yeah it has a precedence in our industry.
Edit: nvm, read the follow up post about therapy.
For god sake.. I thought it was just the sex scene.. that's why I wasn't too bothered at first. No wonder I wasn't that bothered by the violence.
I've read this story quite a few times, regarding Mortal Kombat. I'm not really sure why the developers were required to do this for a game like Mortal Kombat. You'd think basic anatomy diagrams would be sufficient, Mortal Kombat never really struck me as a game with realistic violence, more shocking than anything. Seems like everything that was done in MK11, such as bodies being cut clean in half to display organs, holes in the chest where the heart dangles, so forth. All of this could have been achieved without viewing actual real life gore.
I looked at your profile to quickly see all your responses and… wow. Thousands of hours of gore, unemployed for 14 years, need drugs to function during the daytime… this random internet scarecrow suggests you get some help.
Come on, lol. You just can't pick those things out of context. I appreciate your concern, but I'm actually really pretty fine (aside from the generalized anxiety disorder).
It's wild how fast Sucker Punch unlocked the framerate of Ghost of Tsushima to run with 60fps on PS5, yet there is still nothing from ND. I get it, they are remastering the game, but one patch for framerate at first would be great...
Glad to hear the obsession has reduced. Out of curiosity, have you watched Benny's Video?
No one is against TLOU2 gameplay feel. Maybe the 30fps cap I guess.
