If I'm looking for gore, I'll play Gears of War, lol.
Ripping peoples arms off and beating them to death was the greatest addition to a video game ever.

I don't need more gore. In fact I think the Omega DLC already overdid the Bloodbath in cut-scenes.
Exploding heads are nice, I get it, but -really?
On the other hand this spawned the greatest addition to ME in evah! The mighty nutpuncher:

...Guess I have to rethink this
The advances in technology has probably made warfare "cleaner". Traditional weapon technology would naturally produce more gore, simply because it was more primitive and less efficient.
We don't need more gore.
I don't mind gore, and I'm all for it if it make sense. After all, I've grow up reading Dylan Dog. But I think is one of those elements that don't need to be exaggerated, but simply used well to make an impression.
Average gore like in ME3 will be fine for me. I don't want Andromeda to feel like another Dead Space game.

If people are exploding into gory bits because a bullet hit them in their stomach, then what's the point of the advance armor everyone has? Spandex all the way!

Spoiler
Yeah, I like Dead Space for what it is, but for a ME game that level of messed up violence would be a total overkill. Unnecessary and perhaps even inappropriate for the genre.
Honestly, I don't want a repeat of ME2's with blue-purple-greenish blood. I wonder if they might put up blood colour toggle as in Silent Hill 3.
Meh... adding gore for the sake of adding gore really doesn't do anything for me. It generally doesn't serve to intensify things anyways; and I really don't miss it when it's not there because I'm generally concentrating on other aspects of the game.
Not really interested in more gore honestly.
We should focus on better sex scenes, when we finally have threesomes. Up the gore level.
I think that ME:A should have extremely realistic violence, like Mortal Kombat:

yeah if I want t ospray myself in blood I'll play Dragon Age that has moer than enough for me.
Gore provides realism in my eyes. I'm all about realism. I know it's a video game but you know how it is. Doesn't have to be gears but I just like a.limb ripped off or a body dismembered now and then.
Please don't tell me you believe the gore in Fallout is realistic in any way.
For your information, pistol shots to the chest don't dismember people.
I think gore can be used effectively for effect or entertainment value, but a game shouldn't be blood-drenched regularly just for the sake of it. ![]()

Gore quite often isn't realistic at all. DA2 springs to mind, with swings of the sword causing people to explode into meaty chunks. It was so over-the-top in DA2 that it was almost comical.
Gore, like other explicit content like nudity or foul language, is fine so long as it does not become gratuitous.

in it's defence though DA is a moer fantasy world but yeah it probably does over do it a little in DA2 but then I think it's meant to be a bit more of a comical DA anyway based on the overall story
Dragon Age 2 is freaking hilarious.

Get them, Aveline!
Yeah, so... that's an example how not to do that. Well, unless you are going for... something... special.

Yeah. To be honest the way blood is portrayed in DAII totally fits the artstyle of the game. A bit cartoonish and over the top.
As for gore. I've seen videos of modern real war and its effects on soldiers fighting, and it's quite really ugly and bloody actually, especially with the artillery. I'd call it gore in my opinion. You often see dismembered bodies on the ground, with folks discovering their dead companions in pieces after the storm. A disheartening spectacle. I suppose artillery in a modern space game is quite important ?
I am pretty sure that gore in a modern war could be as much portrayed in an unrealistic way as much as in a realistic way. Gore is a part of war. Now Mass effect is a video game, it isn't necessarily and critically needed.
Loveliness of the best kind.
