As for headshots, The blood and gore from a decisive headshot is pretty telling, and sometimes you can't even tell you DIDN'T. just blow.off someone's head...>.<;;

Big ups to white people once again tripping hard like a prom date down a flight of stairs after a positive pregnancy test.
??? ive straight cut limbs off enemies and have definatly taken off heads with headshot, did I miss something?
while this seems like a silly thing to complain about, playing as zero and using mostly snipers rifles does feel unrewarding when you score a headshot on a bandit you see the shitload of blood that expel from his head only to go to it's corpse after and see his head still intact, it's silly
you can still blow most humanoids to bits using explosive weapons, but even that just feels weird, the parts and bits fly so fast and splatter on the ground so fast that most of the times you won't even notice
i do hope they add that gore later to the game, sniping in borderlands 1 was kinda of a nightmare, but you did it just for the plain satisfaction of blowing somebody libs/head off, sniping is way more feasible and better on BL2 but feels unrewarding thanks to this
the game still one of the best sequels to a game i've ever seen, it basically improved on every aspect of it's predecesor and made things 100 times better, so nobody is really bashing it, just saying that something that kinda defined sniping in the fist game is gonne and that's just a bit of a dissapointment since the game is so good

I play as Zer0 on the PC version and I seem to leave limbs (Or bloody piles of gibs where a person used to be) laying around all the time when I melee them. Also, explosive weapons still have a habit of making it rain body parts, which I've learned while playing Maya on the 360 version. So yeah, not really noticing too much of a drop in gore aside from the fact that people aren't melting anymore. And I as well played Mordecai on the first one and had a habit of leaving everything in my wake without a head thanks to my Masher revolver.
Still, I wouldn't care either way. Gore and gibs or not, I'm still in love with the game. I mean, I bought it twice. That should say something.

Wow, who fucking cares? This is usually the type of Internet idiocy you make fun of, Jim (unless I've missed the sarcasm which I admit, is very likely).
I was playing Borderlands 1 right up to the point where Borderlands 2 was released. I didn't notice the lack of gore, which is surprising, as right before I stopped playing B1 I shot a bandit in the chest with a sniper rifle and the bullet cut him in half.
I then proceeded to blow his arms and head off, until he was but a torso.
I did not notice this feature was missing in Borderlands 2, but I am aware of it now, and am slightly saddened.

Maybe you should go with the Melee build... I've cut off scores of heads when executing critical hits
I don't have a problem with the current level of violence (the game is near flawless the way it is), though if they want to patch in higher levels of gore, I'm not opposed to the idea.
I will say I noticed it, but the only thing that really bugged me about it is, there is no instant recognition for getting the kill now. I either have to wait to see if they get up, check their life gauge, or (more often than not) turn my back on them assuming they're dead, and get shot.
If they patch it in, great! if not, eh, not that much of a loss.

I'd rather them let the PC mod community do something about it while they make some really outstanding story-based DLC since I don't want to pay for garbage DLC.
As others have said: I'm not opposed to this.
I just want them to use their manpower and time wisely to make the best content they can for the game.

Hmm...I don't know. Some of the visuals may be turned down, but I think that the audio cues from elemental/critical hit deaths are turned way up. Have you heard the Goliath's screams? They make me really uncomfortable. My wife was like, 'What the hell is that? I don't like that at all.' And I kind of agree. I'm not sure where that falls on the hypocrisy scale, but that's how I feel.
I thought it was apart of the many bugs the game has. They definitely should add head removal soon, but its nothing huge to worry about. The broken auto pick up passes me off way more. I just absolutely love the thick oozy puddles of physx blood, I sware I've cum at least 10 times playing the game due to it. I feel so so sorry for those that cannot witness the glory of having the GTX physx. It really makes the game seem next gen.
The only reason why I can see this as being a problem is that it takes a step back from the first game. Once the tone has been set, it's jarring to shift it in such a manner.
Also, it's a bit odd seeing a game try to censor itself when both box covers in the series feature a depiction of suicide.

Can't say I really noticed the change tho it has been quite some time since I played the original borderlands. I guess I am with a few people tho, that it would be nice to have a better indicator that you have successful sniped someone. Instead of thinking that you had only to have them peek out from behind cover and start shooting you.
I guess I'm fine either way ^.^
@Innominatus
Actually as I recall it the box art itself that has become an almost iconic staple of the game is itself a "censored" version of the original box art. Which actually became more impactful after the alteration ^.^

The shit people get upset over...
"AW MAN I DON'T WANNA PLAY THIS AWESOME GAME THAT I REALLY WANT TO PLAY UNLESS THERE'S TONS OF MORE GORE. WHAT'S THAT? NO, GAMERS AREN'T VIOLENT. WE JUST NEED MORE AND MORE GORE IN OUR VIDEO GAMES OR ELSE THEY AREN'T FUN."
But seriously, how important is gore to a person that they need more of it to justify the 'fun value' and/or purchase of a game. I dunno, maybe I'm not the right person to ask. This just seems really dumb.

Wow Jim, I must admit that I'm a little disappointed by this article. This article reinforces one of the most negative stereotypes about videogames and the people who play them. I was a huge fan of the first game and I did not notice this "problem" at all. This is a very immature complaint. But if this is the biggest complaint that people can conjure, then it is a testament to the overall strength of them game.
i noticed this, and while i'm not all that concerned it's to the detriment of the game. i miss the OTT fallout style efforts from the first game. still, it's not the end of the world.
more concerning are the comments here along the lines of "if you're concerned about this, you're stupid". why do these people feel the need to say that? to all those people i say this: opinions are like assholes, and my opinion is that you're an asshole.

I think I'm one of the few who loves headshots that don't make heads explode...
Still, if they had an option that would be nice.

The only sniper rifle I used in the first game were the Volcano snipers so headshots generally never happened, too focussed on having a gun that shoots fireballs. As it is now in the second game my friend is playing the sniper role and whenever he gets a headshot I'm always there to put the poor bandit writhing on the ground out of his misery.
I never noticed anything changed. I'm trying to remember, but that's not something I pay much attention to. The horrible screams of the acid-melted haunt me still, however.
I still haven't played Borderlands 2 but this is disappointing to hear (in a minor way ofc). Sometimes I will just shoot a bandit and wait for the shock effect to kick in, it was fun to watch, and satisfying. Same with corrosive and getting head shots. Aw well.
Eh, if it's not difficult to patch I certainly would like to have the head poppin' back. If not, it's not like I'm going to hold my breath and stomp my feet until Gearbox changes it. It's still an awesomely fun game.
They could have "easily" done a toggle switch that was locked on automatically within certain regions. The precedent has already been set in countless FPS games before this one.
I have to agree that it's very noticeable if you're a sniper. A head exploding was a telltale sign you had killed your opponent. The way it is now, you have to kind of wait for the blood to clear from the air before the health bar is visible again. I've wasted more than a few shots firing into an already dead opponents head.
I really miss being able to gib off heads and limbs. I hope they patch it back in soon.

I noticed it. It kinda bothered me, and a few friends i talked to about it. And then we continued to play it for hours. So yeah, we noticed, we miss the gore, but it's not a dealbreaker.
I don't NEED the gore but I sure would like it to come back in a patch. In Borderlands when I got a head shot with a sniper and his head was gone, I knew he was dead. It can sometimes be hard to see an enemies health bar if you're zoomed in super close and that lack of head is a definitive answer to the death question.
Also, acid elemental weapons had the best death animation when they died of corrosive damage. The flailing, the screaming, the melting!!! They still melt but they sure don't flail.

This is an issue? Really? That really shows just how depraved this world is when a company gets slammed for doing the right thing. I applaud Gearbox for doing this.
This is a stupid controversy.
The only valid point is that there needs to be some kind of feedback on eliminated enemies to allow more efficient movement to the next target. Not necessarily headsplosions, though. Blinking the name/health UI element over a target a couple of times to show a definite kill would suffice.
Couldn't care less about the gore. That hasn't been a priority for me since I was about 15.

Seems a little arbitrary the things they have decided to tune down, when some other elements of the game sound like they have been made more extreme. I can see why a developer bowing to nonsense censorship rules is a little disappointing.
Also enjoying gore and violence doesn't make you a psychopath or somehow pathetic. You don't tackle negative stereotypes by disavowing the things people enjoy completely.

"THE HEADS IN MY GAME DON'T EXPLODE WHEN I SHOOT THEM! THIS IS FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW!!11!1!"
First world problems to the fucking max. What kind of a psychopath gets visibly upset because they can't view graphic decapitations?

I honestly didn't notice until you mentioned this but it has been awhile since I played the first one so that might be why.
I honestly don't have a problem with it. I've been having a blast with my melee build Zer0 regardless. However, if they want to patch more gore in, I won't say no.
It won't take away my enjoyment of the game if they don't though. The game is fantastic.

People really complain about the stupidest shit.
Is the game fun? Are you liking the story? Does it play well?
THEN WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT EXPLODING HEADS.
Funny thing is, they'll still get GOTY for this trifle of a "controversy", because the same people saying they won't play it because of this, are probably still buying it and playing any way and only proved to waste energy bitching for nothing.

Hmm... I thought they toned it back for consoles as to not cause the FPS to go to shit. Ever try and shoot an explosive shotgun point blank on the xbox? Yeah the game chugs hard. With that said I'd love if they added a more gore option but I would love to be able to turn it off if it lags the game.
I dont mind. Its plenty gory and there is a performance impact that goes with lots of flying bits and visual effects(hello, Liquid Orion), and Borderlands1 had performance issues.

This is probably the best comment of the 21st century, possible of all time. It was never better, even in my day, but at least the idiots couldn't chime in nearly as much as they are able to now. Thank you, internet.
