There was a lot of shouting in that video.
Also!
Does anyone else think we have become slightly desensitized to violence as a society? I didn't bat an eyelid after all those beheadings and amputations.

If those beheadings and dismemberments where shown in RL, I'm pretty sure you would have reacted. In the context of a video game, it's merely fun.

It is true. Horror movies both scare and repulse me.

Humans are, by nature, able to handle violence or not. The vast majority of people just never have to learn if they can.

Desensitized to imaginary violence, sure. I'd rather say humankind has never been as squeamish and unconditioned toward actual violence than it is today. Which is a good thing (the latter, the former is just as well). What has really changed is the gap between what is ok in the imaginary and in reality. Which has a nice twist of irony, as at the same time graphic depictions of imagination become ever more realistic in appearance.

It's a Long game plot, so that the governments of the world can kill wholesale and we will just howl and shout cheers about how many they managed to get in one swing of an axe or congratulate them on their efficiency when they shoot 5 with one bullet.
Isn't life grand?
