Potrayal of Blood

Today we are gonna talk about nonsense again. Let me ask you one thing. If you see blood,do you scream or feel quesy?Or do you just turn away in disgust?However when you plug and play an
M rate videogame with blood and gore, you dont find anything appalling apart from the violence of course and other Mature themes(I'm talking about Blood and gore here!)

Yes thats right. Blood.People say blood should never be spoken of unless you're a docter or a surgeon or a policemen.You dont see them in kids cartoon or an E rated videogame.Ok lets get to the point, Blood in videogames is not as frightening or appalling as blood in real life. Lets just look at this way. You happens to see a guy gets run over by a truck. His head got crack and his body got smash.His dies on the spot in his pool of blood and you happens to saw in person.Now compare this with people playing counterstrike. You play as a terrorist and then you shot one of your enemies in sight. Bullets hit him and blood is splattered on the wall. Now do you find that shocking compared to the latter one where you see blood in real life?If you say yes to both of em, You must be a first time noob playing an M rated game.

In my opinion, I dont find blood in video games frightening or disturbing.(If you find my words shocking,then congratulations, you're a noob who never played a game with blood in it)In fact the blood doesnt look realistic in any video games at all.I remembered seeing a boy from my school falling down from a pull up bar area of some sort which i don't know how to metion.I didnt see him falling down but from what i heard ,he was sitting on the bar when all of the sudden, he leaned a little bit too far and went off balance then fell with a thud on his head. He must have crack his skull as i could see a lot of blood on his head and on the ground when i came to see the commotion.The teachers were crowding around him and there i could see so much blood on his head that I could feel as if my stomach have somehow shrunk.I felt like vommiting when i saw that much blood.I I kinda understand how he felt to crack his skull and how painful it is to fall on your head even though it never occured to me.Normally a small cut or even a scrape dont frighten or disgust me but if i were to see a deep gash or wound,it would kind of freak me out but you won't see my face looking so petrified.I'm not afraid of seeing blood. I'm just disgusted at looking at it.

Ok now when a i played a videogame with blood and gore in it for example HALO(yes i've played Halo and Halo2 B'cause i got an XBOX),I would often see the other marines and the master chief bleeding in battle and yet i dont find it appalling. Why you might ask and why I sounded so contradictory? Well that is because the way i see blood in video game is like seeing a red paint on a wall.Look at the blood potrayed in videogames. They arent as realistic as those in live action movies and TV show. Ok the gore part i find it disgusting but then again it's just unreal and stupid. By the looks of it, blood can never be realistic in videogames than in real life.
In fact water in videogames look far more realistic than blood. Take a look at Half Life 2. The water looked awesome as it looks physically real but when you se a pool of blood whether it's red or blue or yellow, it still doesnt look realistic but it looked more of someone who have spilled a can of paint.

Now i'm not trying to say that I want blood to really look real in video games. I just wanna say that in the virtual world, simulation cannnot be thrilling experience than in the real world. You cannot create a totally perfect game simulation which simulates life itself. To do that you'll to experience not just the sight and sound but the sense of smell,touch and the real feeling of you being there in person. Blood in the games of today shows how limited a simulation is.What dont tell me you dont know that all video games are trying to simulate life through adventures or through obscure means. GTA and The Sims already did that but it's a good thing that the GTA series didnt follow The Sims style or else you would have to sent your character to the toilet or take a shower.So i'm am saying that blood in a virtual simulation cannot perfectly instill the fear or disgust in everyone who looked at it.
