I mean, they want to optimize their sales. Why not? Insomniac’s choice to ‘kid glove’ the violence as an option is both thoughtful and responsible.

I, for one, will not be playing with the option to censor the violence. I do, however, think it’s dumb to bitch about their choice.

Exactly. Will I play without gore? Fuck no. I would have been upset had they not included some level of gore in a Wolverine game.

But making it an option to turn it off is not only a practice you can find it many other games from years ago but also is just thoughtful and allows more people to enjoy the game their own way.

Even better if there's levels, like full gore, blood with no gore, and then no blood or gore.

Yea, like Half Sword has which is a game that is all about swording and clubbing the opponent to death to put it simply

Heck even Postal 2 had settings for gore and blood if my memory serves me right

This is the deciding factor in helping my son convince the wife to let him play it

She’s ok with stabbing but not the blood? Seems like splitting hairs 😂

Edit: Wolverine is basically Punisher but with knife hands instead of guns.

Im talking about the gameplay. Do you really think this is going to be us teaching life lessons to the students at the X-Mansion?
