is blood really all it takes for an M rating? you’d think with how good graphics can get and the level of violence in games today, just having some blood could still at most be a T, maybe a high T low M rating if thats a thing.

Interesting take.
Ive responded to the following injuries- just off the top of my head.
Hand cut off, fingers cut off, broken skulls.
Heart attacks, strokes. Super norovirus booty explosions. Ive heimliched 3 people the past 15 years. Successfully, lol.
Ive worked in hospice and oncology care, unfortunately with family too.
Id like to thank my total desensitization to blood to movies, tv, and video games.
The only thing i cant tolerate is vomit. Its my kryptonite.
On the nyc subway system in the middle of the night over the years ive been the subject of attempted muggings. Im still 5-0. Got a bubble shield.
Talk with somebody if you have ptsd. Or anxiety.
Are you a veteran?
On topic, ive played the recent doom and cyberpunk, both which have taken the ultraviolence to new highs. I love it, but it gets boring. No thats not true. Its awesome, but its not really trailblazing.
Lmao i gotta be the only person on this forum to ever play “postal”
What i think would help halo is unique futuristic weapons.
Gonna go old skool.
Look at duke nukem 3d. Ignoring duke, lol.
Check out these weapons-
Shrink ray
Freeze gun
Laser trip bombs
The pipebomb
All those weapons were unique and really made gameplay memorable.
Halo shouldnt go that far, but should be mature imo.
Expecting halo rated teen to increase sales wont work. If theres one thing im certain of after all my years, its -Yoink!- and violence sells. Like it or not.
I
I’ve got folks to talk to. As for desensitization… I dunno’. That has an ebb or flow for me. Sometimes I don’t care. Sometimes I do. I appreciate the work you do, by the way.
No, just a chick who’s done too much and too little.
Haven’t finished Doom Eternal’s second DLC because it kind of blows but yeah, very familiar with its level of violence. Doesn’t bug me for DOOM, but it’s not exactly necessary here.
Thing about DOOM is that those demons aren’t people. Maybe they once were or were heavily processed as per DE’s implication but, eh. The Covenant, The Banished, though - those are people… and I’m just not comfortable with the hunger for seeing their brains everywhere, you know?
Love Duke, hope he gets a game as good as DN3D some day. Grew up playing Duke, Doom, Soldier of Fortune (Hyper violent for the time).
shrug Maybe, but I don’t think it’d help sales. I think it’d have zero impact.

Thats good.

Anybody think Assassinations are coming back?
I dont think theyre coming back
I still hope they do. Having a custom Assassination was a cool addition to Halo 5. I know last we’ve heard they were reworking Assassinations, and I hope that hasn’t been tabled. That, and I’d still like to see our Pre-Game poses be able to be selected like the Post-Game pose, rather than being randomized.
