How much Shock Value belongs in EC?

  1. None! Toes shall scamper if any blood marks the screen, downgrade to T!

  2. M rated to the tune of Space Marine or Dawn of War. "Comfortable" brutality.

  3. Marginally more brutality than Space Marine - more emphasis on sound effects.

  4. Moderately more brutality than Space Marine - even more emphasis on sound and visual effects.

  5. Massively more brutality than Space Marine - basically mortal combat scenes.

  6. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD - Slaughter of all innocence. Scenes directly out of nightmare. (or Other)

Results are only viewable after voting.

    So, I just got done watching about 10 minutes worth of Mortal Combat X executions. Pretty brutal.




    Definitely some shock value there for me. But that's just me. Wondering if anyone wants shock value in EC? Would it be worth it to push that envelop?

    Feel free to vote and discuss.

    The last option also counts as Other so if you pick it, please, you'll have to say why.
  2. naa no stupid brutality which take out all immersion

    quiet realistic amount of blood with brutal finishers

    As much brutality as possible while keeping the game playable (upwards of 20 FPS) on a laptop.

    The levels to which MK games aspired in brutality would take executions that last 5 or so seconds, which aint a good thing in a massive TPS where you are under danger most of the time and cannot spare those 5 secs of being left vulnerable.

    However i do want gore, shock inducing gore. Not the amount MK does, cause i feel its trying too hard at times, but i still want executions that makes the light hearted squirm when they are being done.

    About the same as what Space Marine had, perhaps a smidge more. I'd be more than happy.

    Time brings up a good point over executions in general. Since you're the archivist (or deserving of a similar title :p), do you know generally how long the current executions last? I mean even quick executions could probably be pretty jaw dropping messy....
  7. Not quite as over the top as Mortal Kombat, but close.

    I mean we don't want to enrage Khorne by skimping out on his blood toll, now do we?
  8. Depends on how its done.
    Gore is going to be hard to implement considering the scale of this game.
    But sure, if they can throw in a lot of gore, than yes.
  9. right now we have no confirmation for different length executions
    my idea was to make the executions quicker when your health is low

    I was watching the same footage from MK X and it struck me as a bit juvenile 'OMG HAHA LOOK AT HIS FACE MELT OMG BADASS' i dont really care about that stuff personally.
    Based on the two executions ( chainsword-gutting and foot on chest-headshot) I saw in the pre alpha footage, id like to see a bit more humiliating executions, not so much blood and guts flying around.
    I'd like to see brutal ones for Orks: close quarterfight, breaking of a limb, then proceed to smash in head, or even better stomp in head with foot.
    Eldar executions should be 'graceful' and swift.
    So basically an execution that fits the style of the race.
    Nid executions....I know just the thing: like the zombies from state of decay tear a dude apart.
