I have to say, after 19+ hours in the game, the absence of blood in and after battle is a great disapointment. Combat aren't that difficult, even in highest difficulty, and that would not matter if, at least, we had something that feels worth figthing for. So yeah you can cut your ennemies badly, dismenber them even, but the absence of blood is quite meh. I'm not demanding BLOODBORN level of Blood, but bring back the 35min footage blood for god sakes.
AGREED! I WANT WHAT I SAW IN THAT 35MIN VID. Red cloudy water, actually splatter patterns from how you swing the sword, REAL gritty combat. I mean, im old enough to go and get drunk and die in the line of battle...why cant i see blood and gore????
