It would be nice to turn the blood into those japan coin thingies

the blood wouldn't bother me. I have seen Kill Bill enough =D

From what I've seen, I believe extravagant amounts of blood work pretty well with this game. I don't like the Manhunt games or the Saw movies (except for the first), but the tongue-in-cheek attitude of NMH gives it an extremely distinct style that could turn it into a cult classic, even if it wouldn't sell too good.

Of course you won't be old enough to play it for quite a while yet, so you should be uncomfortable with it. =P

Soriku, you realize this is a Mature rated game. Suda has said that this going to be a very bloody game.

And there are good "M" games that aren't shooters.

Young boy, this game is so M-rated you shouldn't even be allowed to start a topic for it.

Just kidding, of course! I think what we should be anticipating more is what the ESRB is gonna do with it. I, personally, don't think they'll touch it because it's not as well known as Manhunt, and I want the blood in this since it's part of the presentation. I'm not a big fan of the killing for fear thing that Manhunt did, because I don't think it's done well enough. Very few games/movies can actually make the violence relevent enough to the story for me to think I actually need to see it. Good example of it would be RE4, where the "terror" is a very significant part of the gameplay. With NMH, I think that since it'll be so stylized (with the cel shading) they'll let it through with all the blood.

If there isn't an option to turn the blood off, you could just wear glasses that you've spray-painted black (or really dark sunglasses) and that way the blood would at least appear to be those black pixel clouds.

I'm 28 and have a complete disinterest in such games (uber gory), although if there's an option to turn off gore in NMH, then I may be interested in it. :)

The over-the-top blood fountains are an appealing part of the game's style to me, bringing to mind the uber-violent animes that shocked me when I was young, such as Ninja Scroll and Akira. And yes, also some Kill Bill influence, I think.

However, since they've put out a version that doesn't have high-pressure crimson paint nozzles, there's no reason they shouldn't put an option to tone things down for those who don't appreciate the juice-squirting madness. They could even turn it off by default, as long as I can have my sanguine torrential downpours.

i'd prefer the huge amounts of blood...it's just part of the game's style really.

This game is rated M, which means if you're under 18, you really shouldn't be playing these games, as you're likely not mature enough to handle buckets of blood.

That doesn't mean people over 18 are automatically mature, or ok with blood either...I'm cool with it though...heck, TF2's got loads of gibs haha.

I'm 24 and I agree with Soriku. It seems unnecessary. I like the Japanese version better.
