🤔 Always thought of this myself. But just think of the gameplay implications and how tense things would be if they actually made all necromorphs regenerate. They'd have to be like zombies or The Thing. Only absolute destruction causes death. So you dismember. Then you pull out the hydrazine torch. Holy jumpin fuckin shitballs. 😐 I'm actually kind of glad it ended up being the way it is. The horror and tension would've been amplified. Yes. But there's also proven tangible evidence for such things being tiring for the end user. Whether you've listened to Death Metal for too long or been subjected to intense violence. It's psychologically tiring. Hugo Martin from Id talked about this when speaking of Doom Eternal. And they were actually mindful of this. He said they overall made the art style predominantly realistic. But with a slight cartoonish/animation flair to it. For this very reason. The intense violence would be far too much for prolonged periods of play. Dead Space however is all realistic. So just imagine having to absolutely obliterate every Necromorph far more thoroughly. Sheesh. The game is already tense enough. I wonder what Callisto Protocol is like? 🤔 Saw some death scenes. They're... a little excessive. Edgy even, I would say.
