Yes I am such a kid I was playing golden era RPGs when you were still shitting in diapers and going to kindergarten. Only kids defend such crap like shiny graphics and dumbed down video games.
Dumb argument. May I know how old you are, if you feel so almighty, mister gaming veteran?
Big deal,Fallout games have loads of guts and big monsters in them and they are not scary.Not just the fallout series other games too have this however I am too lazy to name them.
Jesus, gore has been in games since monitors and TVs could render more than 1000 pixels (read - since a long time). Doom, Mortal Kombat (hell, that is the reason all those rating systems were invented) and infact ANY game involving action to some degree. Every shooter had to have blood and possibly cool death animations which show all the glorious innards of demons and humans. We could go on with games that didn't really have cruel death animations, but just the possibility of gibbing your opponents into thousands of pieces for pure fun - Quake, Half-Life, Carmageddon, Soldier of Fortune. Yeah, I know I'm kinda going into all the new scary 2000's, but blood and gore really isn't anything new. Occasionally the blood and gore made the games "scary". It's not something that we see a whole lot everyday, by just walking down the park and seeing a decapitated body hung by it's leg on a street lamp. It's a psychological trivia and whatnot, since we are older than we were when playing these games, the effect also doesn't even nearly apply to us.
TL;DR - I just went full ape shit.
