Who gives a shit? The game looks like it's going to be wacky either way, and it may just end up being a purchase for quite a few people. It's all good.

I try to care about this game, but I seem to fail.

as long as i can mow the lawn....

i thought the gore was a bit over the top. but then i dont really care either way.

Yeah, I agree that the blood and gore is part of the honest artistic style of this game, it is meant to be both mature, and a parody of what people consider mature at the same time and I have pretty much fallen in love with that duality.

I am pretty much on the fence about the blood and smoke thing. Being in america, it doesn't look like we're gonna get censored, so there's not much for me to worry about. What I would like though, is just the basic option to be put in so you can go either way for all countries.

Blood or no blood, this is a definitive purchase for me.

i feel bad--IGN just posted this video

copy and paste in address bar if not working, then select the preview--most blood i have ever seen in a game

IF I ever get it, I will import the EU version then. Who likes blood anyway?

When blood is part of the artistic style, I do. Just like Kill Bill, I wouldn't buy that film if people popped into black mist because of where I live, regardless of me being old enough.

 I'm sorry for censure ( I'm italian so i'm affected too ) but do you really buy or not a game based on gore and blood ?

usually, I wouldn't buy a game that focuses so heavily on blood and gore, but this really doesn't. it's merely a matter that the baddass style that the game has is heavily supported by having the over the top splatters of blood.

Quite frankly, the blood hardly is the most realistic blood splatter in the world, it's just a big red explosion, so this isn't really an issue of the game depicting graphical violence.
