whats the most violent game you have ever played?

[Anton P. Nym]

Splatterhouse. It was cartoony, but boy was it gory/messy.

However, I generally don't play a lot of gory games so I'm not going to make any claims that it was teh gibbiest.

PS: hmm, maybe Stubbs during the brain-eating... but Splatterhouse had you smashing dozens of ectoplasmic wombs with a two-by-four, so I think it's still the violentestest I've played.

manhunt was pretty graphic
viking also, especially when your having huge battles and have to wade through masses of enemies dismembering them

No More Heroes is gory and violent in the same way Kill Bill is.
It's so friggin' bloody you can't take it seriously. It might as well be shot out of a firehouse. The cinematics are also pretty messy, with limbs flying off with alarming frequency and people exploding into showers of blood.

gears of war is hands down the bloodiest game i ever played! others would be gta iv, re4, god of war 2, bioshock, and no more heroes (i would never expect it to be this violent when i first saw it.)oh, and a bunch of others that i'm too lazy to name.

In the Guiness book of world records in the 80's I remember seeing that the most violent movie was called "red dawn." It was determined that "violence per minute" was the way to judge how violent a movie was rather than how gory the violence was.

If I apply that here, I am going to have to say that Mario is a hell of a violent game when compared to something like Gears of war and GTA where you can go for minutes without killing anything. You can't go 5 feet in the Mario series without killing a Koopa or his minions.

Something to think about at least.

Red Dawn was hilarious, but with the exception of those standards I would not call it the most violent movie ever. Likewise, I would say while Mario has a lot of koopa smashing, Manhunt is way more of a canadate for this.

'nuff said?

Ninja Gaiden 2 or RE4 I guess

 

[Divine-Darkness]

I'm probably just repeating what everyone else has to say:

Conker's Bad Fur Day (VVV = Violent, Vulgar, Very fucking good)

Gears of War (that game had me laughing my ass off it was so fun and gory, especially with the chainsaw)

God of War (I & II, what's better than stabbing beasties 100x your size, therefore having 400x bigger blood systems, hence 1000x more bloodflow!? oh, an don't forget the titties)

TF2 (Gun toting angry ppl, with mini guns, shotguns, big blades, grenade launchers, an aluminum bat and overloaded turrets...along with the term "crit"...(not to mention cool accents)...need I say more?)

Another couple of votes for Dead Rising and Turok: Evolution. I remember the swarm-bore attachment for the Rocket Launcher in Turok for three things it does, it rends off each individual limb, one by one, before it decapitates the floating torso, which then explodes. Yeah.

 

[The Lawn]

Probably any game that involves killing and has a sandbox mode...

I do frequently paint my car with pedestrian blood in GTA4, usually driving slowly to crush some unfortunate bastard between the side of my car and a wall.

and for sheer excessive blood and gore, Garry's Mod, with the gore mod... so anyone who dies explodes into a bloody mass of chunks with their hemoglobin rich substances spattering all over the place in a roughly 20-25 yard range.

I loved severance back in the day but that is probably alot tamer than I remember it. I have to give special mentions to the Darkness, Prey and Condemned for genuinely making me feel both shocked and saddened by some of the violent scenes in those games.

 

[JulioCortez]

Solider of Fortune 2, you could dismember people with a shotgun, long after they were dead. Hell, the grenade launcher turned people into showers of meat confetti. It's a shame I can't get it running on current PC though.

 

[Boredom13]

God of War

 

[Ty1er117]

Ya I would say manhunt for the "omg i feel bad for doing that... even in a game" aspect but then Mortal Kombat has an extreme amount of blood and gore but its almost in a funny way, and I agree that bioshock had some pretty creepy type of gore, the way peoples faces would fill with blood when you took a wrench to their face.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Red Alert 2.

 

[Fronken]

Postal is without a doubt the most violent video game i've ever tried, granted it doesnt have to be violent, you can play through the game without being all that psycho, but the possibility of shooting someone in the foot so they sit down, urinate on them then knock their heads off with a shovel makes it an extremely violent sand-box game

 

[The Potato Lord]

Painkiller, Bought iit for 8$ after the ZP review, It has exploding orphans at one point. 'Nuff said.

 

[Moon-Goose]

Postal 2, great game though
