25 Goriest Video Games Of All Time
4. Fallout 3
While the Fallout series has always been bloody, the V.A.T.S. aiming system in Fallout 3 introduced a new aspect to the combat of the series, allowing you to aim and fire at specific body parts.
Though it is certainly tactical, what really stands out is how explosive the results are: heads, arms, and legs are all vulnerable, and they can all be severed, making for some incredibly potent deaths.
Not content with just delivering gory death animations, Fallout 3 even slows it down and lets you revel in the gory goodness. As blood and brains go flying, youre given the time to soak up all the detail.
This system makes nearly every death immensely satisfying, which in tern makes you feel powerful. Watching heads explode in Fallout 3 is like watching a grotesque work of art.
