Tails 64 06/01/18 10:23:12 AM #1:	In video games with violence, does blood usually make it a more enjoyable experience for you? - Results (9 votes) Yes, the bloodshed makes the kills even more fun! 22.22% (2 votes) 2 Yeah, if only for the graphical realism. 11.11% (1 vote) 1 Not really, I don't care whether or not blood accompanies the violence. 55.56% (5 votes) 5 No, bloody violence can make me enjoy a game less. 11.11% (1 vote) 1 No, I completely avoid games with bloodshed. 0% (0 votes) 0 The question's pretty self-explanatory. In games that involve acts of violence, does blood make it more enjoyable for you? Personally, I don't like realistic depictions of violence. It can make me feel guilty for what I'm doing or just plain squeamish, so I avoid bloody games. I'm not saying that playing a game with blood will turn you into a murderer (that's silly); I just don't enjoy it.

HighwayPilot 06/01/18 6:13:41 PM #13:	Yes, but mostly in over the top games with extreme bloody effects. It's sorely lacking in for example the Ninja Gaiden Sigma(PS3) versions.
