this was done on max gore

#

no matter the amount of gore and blood i use in settings i dont see blood or gore

#

#

on other mods this is what i see

#

blood*

#

yeah man weird blood

#

also the graphics settings and keykindings reset upon restart

#

its weird how no one got these issues during testing

#

they are blatant for a lot of people

Gore has generally been downgraded as the builds went..

1st Demo has breakable bones, bruising, guts.
2nd Demo has breakable bones, bruising, no guts (texture was there), added head-cave/skull shattering tech for blunt damage
EA Build no breakable bones, no bruising, no guts, no head-cave tech.

#

i dont understand how the game got worse optimisation and worse blood and gore like this

#

dx11 seems worse than before too

#

making sacrifices to either make the game more marketable (capitulating on what made the game stand-out(very lame)) or to make performance headroom for other things (EA build has a lot of things the 2nd demo doesn't)

#

now, I hope I answered our concerns with the latter - that they'll get back to what made the demos great by finding optimizations

#

nah but the wierd blood pools on the ground were so unexpected tbh

ngl those big maps are not really my thing i dont mind not having those and have a better blood and gore system

brittle cedar Jan 30, 2026, 6:28 PM

#

true, not impressed either. it's like they didn't even play it.. how are we determining these odd blood splatters without much effort

celest sand Jan 30, 2026, 6:28 PM

#

exactly

brittle cedar Jan 30, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

I would rather have an awesome gore system than a map to fight in personally.. the arena in the demo was sufficient to start

celest sand Jan 30, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

disappointed by that personnaly i expected the demo version with better physics better optimisation and lot of nez content

#

we got the content but the rest got downgrade

#

celest sand we got the content but the rest got downgrade

yea its so sad

celest sand Jan 30, 2026, 6:30 PM

#

and the fact i cant even have fixed custom keybinds its annoying

#

i have to switch keyboard language everytime still

dusky rapids Jan 30, 2026, 6:30 PM

#

fights are quick and movement is so weird

celest sand Jan 30, 2026, 6:30 PM

#

yes i one tap everything

#

opponents seems weaker

brittle cedar Jan 30, 2026, 6:31 PM

#

I tend to bring the damage sliders around 15% the left (from mid) to make it more realistic lol

dusky rapids Jan 30, 2026, 6:31 PM

#

celest sand opponents seems weaker

i mean i get their direction but we lost so much fun for a bit content

celest sand Jan 30, 2026, 6:32 PM

#

i dont understand it personally

brittle cedar Jan 30, 2026, 6:32 PM

#

all they needed to do was better gore and MP for EA build
