Violence

>>381976005
Extreme. I believe it's wrong to sugarcoat violence. If you're killing someone you're going to take limbs or spill a ton of blood.

0. Prolonged exposure to violence has been proven to dampen the other senses and lessens the impact of scenes that are supposed to be emotional.

Don't you ever wonder why shit like Explorers of Darkness got to you so hard? It's because everything before was cute and cuddly. Meanwhile, who gives a shit about what happens in Uncharted? The MC is a mass-murdering psychopath.

You're not actually killing anyone.

>>381976161
Probably because there was little to no violence in uncharted you retard

Jesus was chainmail really that weak?

Moderate to low. I dont mind violence but i think it does more harm than good if too much. Becomes biring really.

>>381976005
Lots

The Darkness 2 is one of my favorite shooters of all time.

>>381977753
chainmail was ace for migitating the effect of sword strokes and most all low-tier battlefield injuries

being stabbed is a different story entirely

I just beat the Darkness 2. Shame about it being so short but it is one of the more satisfying shooters I've played.

I wish the first one was on PC. I remember it being moody in a really good way.

>can prevent slashing
>cant save from stabbing or arrows

But why?

>>381977753
You certainly wouldn't be driving an arming sword straight through a grown men with one hand like that. That's pure fantasy. Anyone who looks at a painting and thinks that that was what combat really looked like is a fool. The artist who made this had never really watched men kill eachother.

That's what the shield is for, goyim

Be sure to buy the biggest one!

The act of piercing involves putting a lot of energy into one very tiny concentrated area, ie the tip of an arrow or a spear's tip. A clumsy sword stroke would bruise you, at the very worst break a bone from the impact, but a good thrust of any decent weapon would punch right through and fuck your shit.

It's why bodkin arrows were invented, and why the crossbow was such a fucking awful weapon to be on the other end of

of course that's in the context of chainmail. if you're just wearing some linen and pants to a medevial melee battle between two professional armies with proper formations, then you're going to get fucked in the ass no matter what happens

that's what happens when your armor consists of metal rings
It got many little holes in it

>>381978169
Because different force vectors are applied during slashing and puncturing attacks. When you stab a motherfucker, all the force is concentrated in a single sharp, narrow point, which increases it to a level where something like chainmail has no way of preventing penetration. And there's more force behind a stab when compared with a slash, because the movement is entirely different, and you're putting a lot more weight behind it.

Mainchail has:

>12% Crush Resistance
>8% Thrust Resistance
>125% Heresy Resistance

Plate on the other hand has everything but Crush.

>>381978762
There is very little violence, almost no blood, close combat is non lethal etc. It is as safe as it could be for a broad audience. If there was actual violence it would be off putting

everything past the era of handgonnes are also the reason that plate mail went obsolete in professional armies. it might sound like common sense, but there are a surprisingly amount of people who really don't understand how the gun and the bullet changes the face of warfare and how fundamentally different they were to a bow and arrow.

even outside of a warfare context,

Thanks. Dang and some youtube vids wete saying how GOOD chainmail was.

>>381978762
It's clean, family-friendly violence, the kind you'd see in cheesy 80's action movies. Compare that to games like Soldier of Fortune, where you can carve a man's face like a pumpkin with your knife.

What are some games where I can commit a shitload of collateral damage? Not like Hatred, where the goal is to fuck shit up, but where I have the option to use excessive force pursuing something.

>firing into a crowd to take out enemies
>severe damage to buildings, infrastructure, vehicles
>a bloody and cool-looking aftermath that looks like something bad got worse really fast

Hitman, RF Guerilla, and GTA IV come to mind

chainmail is fantastic, when combined with tanned leather or gambesons it was 100% a total upgrade to just wearing some padded cloth, and when applied as a layer under plate mail it just added that extra little bit of survivability that could or couldn't matter depending on battlefield conditions

of course plate mail had its own issues. it's a lot more mobile than some people would have you think, but visibility, heat, quick access to treating injuries and blunt trauma could fuck you over in an absolute heartbeat. also generally it could only be afforded by the nobility, which is why knights + cavalry are always pictured in it and not normal battlefield pikemen

at the end of the day, the best defense is not getting hit. ideally your armor is there for when that plan fails horribly and some Moorish cunt is trying to de-Christ you with his scimitar

Full retard levels of gore and blood everywhere. I use vidya for the purposes of escapism, and I want it to be as over the top as possible.

Didn't most Pikemen have access to Brigandine which was like the super armor of the middle ages?

Step aside, knave.

>>381976005
Depends I dont wanna see gore all over the place in mario but no blood in GTA would be weird. Mount and blade is pretty good theres blood and if you really kill alot you start to drown in blood which is nice. If im playing a stylish over the top game like no more heroes I better fuckin get fountains of the stuff.

>>381976005
I prefer the type where the AI reacts when I shoot the bullet in their leg or writhes in pain when they get gunned down instead of ragdolling. For the moment, I settle with modded Skyrim.
