Why aren't games gory anymore? by Worm 04/29/2013, 6:35pm PDT
I'm sure it's got something to do with some god awful rule that classes injury inflicted by button press as different than that inflicted by a cutscene, but it really stuck out to me in Tomb Raider.

Cutscene Headshot

In-Game Headshot

Why even have the headshot do extra damage anymore? Isn't that a little too violent? It's just amazing to me that a game that has you literally fall into a river of blood then walk through a hall of chopped up bodies can't have graphics for bullet holes. I'm tempting to do a RE4 style Benny Hill death montage, but the lack of gore I think is going to spoil it. Oh well, I'll leave you all with this.
